How do I pass? Age? Tips?

Hey! I'm having a hard time determining if I pass. I have a feeling that I don't, but it is limited what I can do without T. And I know my hair looks weird. I'm trying to grow out a buzzcut, so I would also appreciate any hairstyle tips.

I don't pass when I smile

(I don't know if the discussion flair is the right one, but I didn't know what else to pick)

Just curious if anybody else has experienced anything similar. I have short hair, I bind and when my face is neutral I think I pass fairly well, even though I'm pre-T, I could be seen as a feminine looking boy.
Apart from my voice, which is very feminine, as soon as I smile my masculinity disappears. The same happens when I interact with people. I'm incredibly polite and a massive people pleaser. I do not act like a typical boy, but I mean… wtf?
Are boys not allowed to smile or be nice to other people? Why am I clocked as a girl by just the way I am; being nice and polite? It's so frustrating, because I can't change it!
I just wanted to know if I am the only one who feels this way, and if anyone has any tips. Idk.
