    I'm really insecure about passing, cause I have a very feminine face. Can you guys see anything I could do to look more masculine?

    I'm useless when it comes to actual advice, but I think that's a lovely dress!

    I've got issues seeing faces properly so I'm not exactly the most objective judge, but I don't see your face as that feminine. I'm not sure I'd read you as male or just androgynous, but at the very least I'd see you as androgynous enough that I wouldn't know what gender you are, so you're certainly on the right track :slight_smile: I can't really give tips because I haven't figured out how to pass so I'm not exactly in any position to be advising others :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I really can't put my finger on it, but something is automatically tipping me off.

    My best guess is that its the hair. I know that ftm folk often go for a cut shaggier at the sides, in order to counterbalance the roundness of their face. I just browsed through your album, and now I'm feeling that there's something about the glasses which are also throwing off the look a bit. I'm not quite sure what. Nothing about it screams female though, so that's good. All in all, I'm just nitpicking. Hopefully it was useful :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Also, your hair is a gorgeous colour :slight_smile:

    Opinions on the second pic in my selfies album (tie/sweatshirt, not the full body with the blazer)? I'm getting my hair cut soon so tips on what hairstyle would make me look more masculine would be much appreciated.

    I feel like a different haircut without the sideswept bangs might help.

    So I got some new jeans from the boys section, but I can't figure out if they suits me or helps me pass - some honestly feedback?

    The jeans themselves are fine, but your posture... guys tend to stand with their legs a bit further apart, and take up space. Your posture in the pictures in your album look like you are trying to take as little space as you can.

    @Isa- I looked through your album. You look so beautiful, much more beautiful than I looked as a girl before I decided to embrace my masculinity.

    Nice, Kasey. The first one, though, I was wondering if I was looking at a picture of a wax statue of you.

    Haha no...

    It's just what nice jobs on makeup and perfect lighting do.

    Sometimes we get amazing photos sometimes they are awful.

    Usually my stills suck. I do however look wayyy better in real time.

    My point being, I'm guessing I pass pretty good still yes?

    Just uploaded a few "new" pictures in my album? Thoughts?
    I also wanted to ask how old do you think I look?

    You look good! Definitely 100% passable in my eyes :slight_smile: I'd gauge you to be around 15, 16 at the latest.
