    I know passing is not that import and it's more about what you think about yourself & stuff like that.. But it's still something that concerns me. So if you could just state your opinion that would be really cool :slight_smile:

    Hello,

    I'd say that you look like male, with the face shape and hair. Nice top, by the way.

    I think I'd assume you're female, but it would depend on your mannerisms and voice.

    The eyebrows are very feminine, the uplift of your hair also strikes me as feminine. You don't state in your profile your assigned at birth gender so it's difficult to say whether you pass or not.
    From your profile image, I would assume you are female.

    If I saw you, I would assume you are male. You pass easily for me.

    I would assume you are a young male, around 11/12 years old

    You're sort of in the middle for me, although I'm not sure what you're trying to pass for (male, probably? Judging by the haircut).

    I feel like this picture makes you look a bit feminine, but mainly because of your facial expression and your shirt.

    But, I'd say you can pass quite well.

    I think it's actually quite cool that some of you don't know what I'm trying to pass as :grin: But yeah I'm a transguy so I'm trying to pass as male.. Thanks for your comments :slight_smile:)

    I'd say you look like a young boy/androgynous.

    You're like me, you look really young. I'd say you could go either way. Definitely have a masculine face shape and you almost remind me of a young Eddie Redmayne. That being said, I think my big suggestion would be your brows. If you pluck or trim, let them grow out. If you're not opposed to some metrosexual style advice, try this out: How to Fill in Eyebrows in 8 Easy Steps - Fuller Eyebrows Using Makeup

    You've got brows like mine, where they've got a natural angle. I don't really groom mine or fill mine in but I let them grow out. You might also want to experiment with the hair a little. Ideally you want something that's going to enhance the sharp contours of your face, which is going to help you pass: Top 10 Short Men's Hairstyles of 2015 Take a look at some of those.

    Clothing can make a big difference too. My biggest suggestion is to layer clothes. Luckily, this is a very popular look right now. How to Layer Clothing For Men | The Art of Manliness This will help block out your frame, add some interest to your wardrobe and ultimately help hide hips and broaden your shoulders out. Plus, it looks damn good.

    Thank you so much for your tips :slight_smile:
    As for my brows, I used to pluck them before I started wanting to lool more like a boy. (Which was only a few weeks ago) but now I don't do that anymore.
    And as for clothes, I'm going to buy new ones soon and I'll definitely look into what to wear to make me seem more maculine. (The problem is kind of the money 'cause I just had to buy two binder.. The first one didnt fit me & I couldn't return it -.-)
    I only cut my hair last week so I'm still trying out different hairstyles :slight_smile:

    At the moment, I'd say you look neutral.

    However.

    You're the kind of guy who has this face which will transition really well and you'll probably turn out hot once you get on T (if you take care of yourself, of course).

    Nice hair, by the way.

    Honestly, before you said you were transmale, I could not tell what you were trying to pass for! Well done.

    Yeah, the brows will grow out. Don't worry, mine have the same shape. If it's been a couple weeks just give it some time.

    Thrift shops are definitely your friend. And just keep it simple.

    And the nice thing about hair is that it always grows out, just in case you want to try new stuff out.

    Hi, I know I suggest this a lot, but I think they're good. Perhaps go to some charity stores and pick out some. I found a topman shirt for £1.99 on Monday [one similar to that on the website is £32] . Okay, don't expect them all to be that much of a difference, but they're cheaper that mainstream stores.

    If I saw you in the street, I'd assume you were male. You pass really well, if I didn't know you were trans, (or 80% sure at least), I'd never have guessed you were assigned female at birth. :slight_smile:
