    Your face is pretty masculine. And depending on how you dress and mannerisms, that could affect it too. Honestly, you look fairly neutral leaning towards the dude side. I like your hair by the way, and even though it's sort of long it doesn't look too feminine. As for how to help pass... I'd just stick with mannerisms and stuff, I can't think of much else off the top of my head haha.

    Thanks to everyone who commented on me! ^_^

    Is this thread still alive? Figured I'd resurrect it instead of starting a new one. Anyway, I've posted a couple pics in my album. Not keeping them up forever. But I don't feel like I'm passing as well as I used to. I got a haircut a week ago but don't think it's working for me. Tried to salvage with gel. Took a photo with and without my glasses. If you don't think I pass, what are some things I can do right now to help? I'm starting T next month (if all goes well).

    The version 2.0 wasn't enough to prevent necrothreading?

    Nothing obvious that I can see. As the Italians might say:

    Avanti!! (forward)

    Really pretty! =D
    Just a thing I kind of noticed: in the leftmost picture in your album, your back arm is extended a bit outward, which is kind of a stronger stance that draws more attention to your shoulders. Feel free to ignore this is it isn't comfortable for you, but try holding your arms closer to your body. (This is actually what cisfemales do more naturally)
    Other than that, you're great!

    I'd say you pass as female.

    You're very cute. Kinda my type. Remind me of a cis girl I dated in high school and just recently got over lol. I especially love your curly hair in the picture with the dress.

    Only advice for passing more is maybe wearing a bit (more?) Makeup and smiling more.

    How old are you? You don't look fully grown, so you have potential to lose some of that baby fat, which could help you a lot. Your face is very round atm and honestly your hair style would be considered feminine if you lived in any country like the US or Canada. :/ Your best bet is to get a slightly shorter haircut, preferably one you can gel up, and start wearing clothes that say "I'm a dude!" XD Trust me, these are only beginner steps, so the biggest change you might experience is being called any one of the three different types of pronouns. >_<

    I agree although I'd say you do look reasonably neutral; enough that I'd probably give you a second look just to make sure.

    Hey, just wanted to say you look great, you rock that prom dress fucking hell. One tip though, a lot of women wear skinny or slim fit jeans rather than straight leg. If you find a brand that works for you and shows off your figure I think it could do a lot in your favour.
