I know passing is very subjective, but from the 1st pic to the others I feel like I changed my DNA lol. Always trying to improve it tho. What u guys think? Have I changed a lot?
This is the most REALISTIC of how I look on a day to day in different lighting and generally to most others.
better-ish pictures than last time, (had to use filters cause i hadn't shaved last time, post is now deleted). so yeah, i shaved, got a haircut, put some lipstick on (only on the first pic), and put on some clothes my gf got for a me a few months ago.
i honestly feel like i don't pass, my body is still in the early months of hrt as many have told me but i just wanna know what other advices i can get for passing. would it be safe to go out like this (plus full makeup)? or should i just wait a couple of months or till my body and fat get in better shape? do i even have like a good foundation? or am i like fucked? hahah.
i feel like i shouldn't cause i honestly feel like my body still makes me look like a man wearing girl's clothes, and i don't wanna get shit for that, specially cause people can get very violent bc of that around here.
any advice is welcome, i have no trans friends and i'm basically on my own other than my doctor who i talk to like every 3 or so months lol. be kind, pls:)
Anything I should focus on to pass better early in my transition journey?
This is a forum where trans people post content with the specific goal of receiving feedback—both supportive comments and constructive criticism—regarding their appearance. The idea is that they can identify and correct any flaws or obstacles preventing them from passing as an average cis person, right? We agree on that, don't we? So, I can't help but wonder: what is the point of all these photos posted by trans people who don't seem to have the slightest intention of subjecting their content to actual evaluation? They post things like: "Oh, I know perfectly well that I don't pass, but I felt cute... yay!" or "My dress is cute, isn't it?" without showing even the slightest concern or expectation regarding potential constructive criticism. It seems like they couldn't care less; instead of asking for an opinion, they seem content to simply soak up compliments without seeking any real assessment of their appearance. Wait... what exactly are you guys doing here? You understand what the purpose of this forum is, right? Look, I'm not saying it's wrong to want to receive compliments and validation. We're human; we all crave that to some extent at some point in our lives. But there are specific places for that, and this forum doesn't seem to be one of them. There are already plenty of other forums out there, like "transpositive" or "transadorable." Go post there if what you're looking for is compliments and validation.
It would be ideal if the moderators implemented a rule stating that, to be considered a valid post, every submission must include at least some basic context: for example, how long they have been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), their hormone dosages, their age, or the specific type of cis person the author reasonably aspires to resemble. In other words, they should require the inclusion of specific indicators demonstrating that the person posting here is genuinely interested in having their appearance evaluated. And, if possible, it would also be good to require the submission of material that allows for a reasonable assessment of the trans person's appearance. I mean, there are people who post photos with half their face covered, or wearing super baggy clothes in huge sizes, which makes it difficult to even get an idea of what they actually look like.
Am I being too demanding with my requests?
I already posted on here, but wanted to get feedbacks on my passing with little to no makeup.
I feel like I look clockier on some pics than others
Edit : pls be the most honest possible
This is among my first attempts at really presenting femme and im curious how it reads. any tips or advice?? i feel like my chin/mouth/jaw is the problem area.
The last two are older pictures but I feel like I have had some chest growth and changes in the last 3 months or so
been a couple months since last time i posted on here. currently 10 months hrt
So I read a lot of mean comments about how trans women are clocky just because they don’t fit into the „social media beauty standards“.
I see comments like: your nose is big, so it’s clocky and manly.
Like wtf? What is a male and female nose? Have y’all even seen women with big noses? They are everywhere. Are you telling them they are clocky?
Please be kind and honest to each other. And don’t project your insecurities and beauty standards to others.
Cis women can have: a big nose, broad shoulders, no existent waists and hips, even an Adam’s apple. And they are seen as cis women. Just regular women. Like your neighbor, the cashier at your grocery store, the barista at Starbucks, your mom.
I understand that we as trans people are seeing those features a lot more than cis folks and that we often want to pass on higher standard. But in reality it isn’t even like this.
Of course if you want to look like Barbie, then go for it. You do you if you’re comfortable with it. But don’t tell people they are clocky or are not passing when it’s really not the case!
Personally I’m not wearing make up and I don’t do much with my face. But I pass. I have a bit of brow bone, and for an Asian a slightly bigger body (but so does my cis sister). And yes, some of you may probably say what’s clocky on me but I don’t care. Because I pass on a regular basis and that’s all I want. I’m not too fancy, I’m not too careless with my look, don’t get me wrong. But I just reached the goal of just being a woman.
And mannerisms and mimic and gestures are playing a big role also. And since most people here are posting only fotos, we don’t really hear them and see their body language. So we can only judge on the pictures we see.
This is just my opinion. Passing is NOT looking like Kim Kardashian or kpop stars with their multiple plastic surgeries.
25 mtf, about 23 months on hrt.
Only the hair on the right is AI.
Nothing else is edited.
