    I love the top! I agree with Kasey on the chest thing; even a small bit will help. Also maybe try wearing tighter jeans?

    The one with the leather jacket looks good, but you look very young. The other one...i don't know. I agree on the breastforms and I think that some eyeliner would look nice on you.

    Padded bra and a bit of makeup and you're good to go! I still think you look like a girl but a little young.

    As for me, I already know I don't pass 90% of the time, but I wouldn't mind suggestions. I just put up an album of recent pictures. The ones of me in the blue plaid are most recent.

    I have a thing about my voice. I need it to break. I so feel like I sound like a girl (ikk). So I just want to say that if I met you in the street dressed like that, your voice would probly be the determining factor to me. I know you started T recently...anything happening to the vocals?

    I find that watch a bit masculine. To my eye piece of jewelry around the neck would make your dress sense more convincing. Just my perceptions ok?

    Ok I see now I was looking at older pix...Somebody mentioned breast forms....yeah those would help you a great deal. You had a chain around your neck in one picture...it helps your image.

    Been awhile since I threw one out there of myself...

    [​IMG] *if it doesn't show up, it may still be pending mod approval.

    Thoughts or advice?

    @ Ricky: That hairstyle looks fucking awesome. Is that a tunnel in your ear? I figured for myself that black ones make me look more masculine.

    My voice has dropped a bit but it is still distinctly in the female range (I may post clips later). I've basically gone from a soprano to an alto. Barely. I'm sure it will happen soon enough though. When I look at these pictures I see a guy. Yet I still rarely pass even before I speak. I wonder if maybe it has to do with the way I smile or something? I feel like I maybe smile too "cutely", and perhaps in a way that seems submissive? And I probably smile too much? Idk.

    Ah thank you! <3 And yeah, both my ears are gauged to a 2 I think. I just lost one of them lol. I used to have them at a 00 so now they won't shrink all the way back down, unfortunately. They were cool when I was a teenager, but now I kinda think not only do they look unprofessional (especially on a guy) but they don't help me pass much. But these are probably the most masculine looking ones I've owned. Colorful ones don't help much.

    @Ricky
    I think it could simply be your skin since you pass extremely well otherwise. Females have a smoother skin than males and since you don't look younger than you are like most guys trying to pass do people would notice that.
    If that really is the problem T should resolve that though.

    I wonder how my voice is perceived... is there any method to upload a speech memo or video (I'd use black screen then)

    @Blender: The site was censored, I thought it's youtube but the link doesn't work somehow. Looked to your pictures though and there you pass perfectly!

    Yeah I didn't want to double post and editing is disabled.
    Didn't think a site made for anonymous voice clip and singing sharing would be disallowed. >:c

    Not a bad start.

    No way am I going to post my voice because I know it is my dead give away.

    @Kasey: That's a nice hairstyle on your profile pic. Could you rate my voice too?

    Is it buried under the last page? I'll look for it.

    Ok so having found it...

    Your voice definitely sounds a bit distorted as you explained.

    But being unable to see you and if I didn't know what you were I'd assume a freshman in highschool. You sound like a student of mine. Young, but developing masculine voice, but definitely something isn't standard about it.

    But the bottom line, I probably wouldn't have it be a giveaway if I saw you in public based on voice alone.

    @ Kasey: That's a nice point to start! I usually get estimated about 15 years old when passing. And I don't mind being forever young ^^ Thank you!
