I'm FTM transgender, and I'm curious if I pass as male. I'm 14 and pre-T, and I want to start presenting fully as male soon. I don't know if this is the right place to post something like this, and if someone would let me know it'd be great! I attached a picture, but it's not the best. Any feedback would be appreciated!
Hi and welcome to EC! You definitely pass! I thought there used to be a 'Do I Pass?' thread in the Gender & Identity Expression. Either way, people in that section could probably help if you ever need advice in passing, either physically or vocally.
Welcome! Yeah you definitely pass to me! You look like an amazing dude Like newfish said above, you can check out the Do I Pass thread in the Gender Identity and Expression forum, you might be able to find some more advice there as well!
Yeah you pass as male if I were to pass you by randomly. One thing I will say that I look at when I see people are characteristics like hip-waist ratio since males tend to have wider waists than hips versus females, but I'm also very observant. For most people, baggy clothes can obfuscate that.
Yeah you look totally like a male. And your hair seems so puffy! I like it. ;D Just have a firm body language, even though it might be a male stereotype, but it will make you present more masculine.
Thank you all so much! I go to an all-girls school, and I can't present as male on a daily basis, so this means a lot to me.
From the pic, you definitely do present as male. As others have said, though, if your mannerisms are not typically 'male', then it'd be hard to differentiate between the two, but then it depends on what type of guy you are.
If I saw you randomly on the street, I think I would probably have a bit of trouble determining your gender but would decide you were probably male. If someone told me you were a guy, I wouldn't doubt them at all.
