    Elves. We live forever. Forever a teenager (he says while sipping a rum and coke)

    Thank you everyone. I kind of just dress as I please but being more on the male side is about where I'm aiming. Glad to know it comes across :grin:

    How are my hormones doing for me?

    You're a chameleon. You blend in. You could be anything. Some pics are leaning female some male but mostly androgynous.

    Lacibi: i see both. It seems you carry yourself differently to math how you dress. It comes across well.

    Kasey: killer. Seriously beautiful. The third pic is my personal favorite it, but they all look great.

    @Kasey: Agree. I think when your hair is wavy it looks the best.

    @Kasey You look stunning. The hormones are doing a great job.

    @Lacybi Although you're leaning towards masculine, you gender's a bit of a blur to me. I wouldn't want to make any assumptions if I came across you in real life.

    Kasey: looking great! In the one where you commented on your shoulders I have to say that you looked very feminine. And the picture with dark hair - you look utterly fabulous.

    Also thanks everyone - that's a massive boost to my ego.

    You look great! You actually look like a girl I could picture doing roller derby. lol. I love the blue hair, by the way.:slight_smile:

    Kasey already knows how cute I think she is.

    Em, you look great, and I love your sense of attitude and style! If I walked by you on the street, judging by your face, I would be very likely to read you as female, full stop. However, I can't see much of your body in any of the pictures, and that might make a difference.

    Here are my most recent pictures. What percentage chance would you give me to pass with the average person? Please do say exactly what you think: I'd much rather have a realistic understanding of how I'm doing than compliments!

    The biggest problem I see at the moment is my hair: it's quite short, and the gray makes it hard for the few styles I can do to look good. It's growing out well, though. My aim is to get it to about shoulder length.

    I'm considering hair color to cover the gray, and the next time I get a chance to fully dress I'll be curling my hair with a .5" flat hair iron I ordered the other day. I think an asymmetrical curly pixie cut might look passably feminine on me.

    I also bought inexpensive extensions that look surprisingly good, so I think those will be my backup plan for the short term if curling doesn't work!

    I don't typically do this, but I was curious. Do you think I have passing potential? I need a haircut, so I'm just going off potential here.

    Here I am.

    Definitely man, you already pass IMO.

    ---------- Post added 18th Jan 2017 at 12:04 AM ----------

    This is me, I hate posting pictures of myself because I feel as though I appear to be super feminine, but any opinions and/or tips on how to pass better (without my parents getting pissed) are much appreciated.

    This is a picture of me, this is another picture of me (my hand looks giant, i know).

    oh yikes I hate the way I look :icon_redf

    You already look pretty masculine as far as I can tell. I'd say you have potential. A haircut would definitely help.

    You certainly have potential. Very masculine nose and lips. And all your other features are androgynous, not feminine.

    Androgynous, leaning more male. If you'd introduce with a male name I wouldn't doubt it.

    Kodo, I also get "androgynous." I think the size of your glasses may be making your face look smaller and getting a little bit in the way of your masculine presentation.

    ---------- Post added 18th Jan 2017 at 08:53 AM ----------

    I'm sorry if this sounds like a complaint, but if anyone has any thoughts as to why people aren't inclined to respond to my post, I'd really appreciate knowing. Maybe send me a message?

    Is something in how I'm writing my posts turning people off, or am I so far from passing that no one wants to say anything, or something else ... ? Don't worry about being harsh: I can take it, promise.
