    I thought you'd just posted a photo of a model for reference, so if that's any indicator. You look like a superhero in that outfit, quite nice.

    Ok for a side by side.

    Me first.

    A model

    The character is Quistis Trepe from Final Fantasy 8.

    I think I do ok for probably being 10 years older than model and male bodied...

    Because I have a monster of a headache and made the mistake of posting in the necrothread, reposting...

    :dry:

    Two pics in album on profile. Worried I'm not passing that well anymore. Won't get to start T until next month. Tips appreciated.

    There.

    A guy - I'm afab. But if I look ambiguous then that's okay too.

    You pass great! If I didn't know then I'd think you were a cis guy.

    Oh okay, just checking. Then I would say yes- I would suggest cropping your hair a bit to bring out your jaw. But that's all up to you. If you want a more androgynous style for now without cutting your hair, a hat could help blend in your hairline.

    And thanks by the way. I've been worried about not passing lately. Not enough to get scared in a Southern men's room but the TSA tends to be a miserable experience.

    Thanks! I'm getting my hair cut soon because it's grown so long. I think that outfit is actually my most masculine one; everything else is borderline girl especially as I don't bind all that often (hopefully getting a binder soon though; yay!)

    A lot of what's involved with passing has to do with how you carry yourself too. Be confident, be proud and you'll look like you belong anywhere.
     
  11. You look awesome! Also brownie points for dressing up as one of my favorite characters from my favorite game.

    Pandaboss you look great. I would of thought you were cis male. Totally digging your hairstyle.

    Lacybi you have a cool androgynous style! if I saw you in the street, I would assume you were male.

    I would like to start using the mens room. Do I pass enough? Also I get ID for cigs all the time. Do I really look under the age of 18?

    I wouldn't really know about men's restrooms because I haven't been in one, but I would assume you to be a guy in all of your pictures except for maybe the one with the elephant shirt. And to me you look like you are between 16-17 or so (probably not what you wanted to hear -_-)

    Definitely pass as male to me. And by the way, nice bowtie (bowties are cool). But you do look around 16-17, so I can see how you might get ID'd. This is not to say you aren't quite a sharp guy.

    Yeah, you're in my boat. You look really young but you pass enough that I don't think anyone would give you trouble for using the men's room. I would maybe suggest a hair cut that doesn't give you bangs but otherwise you're pretty good to go. Trust me on this, I went to a bar one time and got told "I'm sorry, this is for grownups" up until I flashed my ID.

    You should definitely be fine using the men's room.
    I feel you, I'm 20, seven months on T and people have just stopped asking for my ID when I buy cigarettes. I still need to show ID when I go into concerts or clubs though. It's weird. I think sometimes people want to see ID when you look younger than 20, just to make sure.
    I'd guess you were around 16, don't worry though, there are lots of cis dudes who look way younger than they actually are.

    Hey everyone. I just wanted to know if I pass. I got new glasses today (yay) and they were from the men's section, so hopefully it will make me look more masculine. Here it is (in attachment):

    I will also post it in my profile for all to see :slight_smile:.

    You look like a teenage boy, I didn't read your thingy on the side so I'll assume that's what you were going for, you pass very well.
