    I tell you the truth, the first thought that came to mind when I saw this picture is, "she's going to be a knockout."

    You already have soft features, the HRT will take what you've got and make it better. Very pretty, Brooke. I look forward to seeing your progress.

    With the shorter hair, I'd say not yet. But with some longer hair, you'll be killin' it. You have a nice, rounded face. Very feminine. HRT will bring that out more too.

    Can't wait to see updates, Brooke!

    Yeah, the hair is a killer. I'll be posting another pic next week with a wig when I get it. I think it'll be good. I'm pretty lucky in that regard. I feel bad for some girls, they got the short end...

    Do I pass as male?
    My face, at least.
    Do I look younger?

    Not sure if I'm linking it correctly, I'm pretty incompetent technology wise.
    Will probably delete the picture after a short while, not comfortable sticking it up n the Internet for an extended period of time.

    Advice is appreciated.

    If I saw you, I'd probably think you were a teenager. But a teenage boy. :slight_smile:

    Thank you Brooke, you wonderful woman.

    I am a teenager so that's no problem, just afraid I looked 12 or something.

    You look nice, and yes, certainly masculine. I would peg you for aged 14-16 if we just met and I didn't know your age. But overall you look great, brother.

    I'm sorry to tell you but depending on your height you could barely make it to 14-15. You look like a boy, yes but your hairstyle makes you very young. I recommend to put some product in.

    I'd say you look around 14/15, though you could probably up that by a few years by trimming/styling your hair to make it a bit more severe. At the moment you look more androgynous than male, judging by your face alone.

    You remind me of a much younger Will Poulter. Younger teen roughly.

    I'd say male - but very androgynous - aged about 14/15 or so.

    Upon closer look I'd say you were about 16 or 17

    Masculine androgynous, looking about 16. But that is true of basically every transguy pre-T. We are eternally youthful. I would say you could certainly pass depending on how you dress and act.

    Even though you said you weren't concerned with passing, I have to say that you look quite male. Having said that you look very young, probably around 14 (not taking height etc. into account).

    If you want to look androgynous, I recommend steering away from outfits that are so masculine. Try wearing a few brighter colours (even a white shirt would do) and maybe go for a jacket instead of a hoodie. Hairstyling also helps to make you look androgynous, so you should get it styled rather than cover it up under that beanie. Then again, if you don't want to look more androgynous than male then ignore that last paragraph.

    You definitely fall somewhere within the androgynous/masculine look.

    I have glasses too, but I prefer not to wear them around new people in hopes they will assume Im male because they make me look kinda feminine. As for people I already know I've kinda given up and opt for being able to see. (I want contacts so badly)

    If you want to look even more masculine thin angular/square glasses give a more masculine effect in my experience.

    But if you're aiming for androgynous you're definitely there. If I saw you irl you're one of the people I'd have to look over before using pronouns but I'd go for male ones after some consideration.

    All in all you're doing good IMO.
