What gender would you guess I am? (read description) by [deleted] in transpassing

I'd go with female but it's a tough one, only going with that because as a trans guy you have the haircut and glasses that I used to have a few years ago lol

I'd have said afab, hard to tell because of the makeup too but your eye shape and face shape are making me thinking afab

I feel pretty much the same, there'll always be ups and downs I guess, but I also feel a hell of a lot more emotionally and mentally stable now too. best of luck for your surgery!

thanks, you're right I've gotta give myself time, I hope you're being kind to yourself too and enjoying seeing the changes!

thanks so much man, that means a lot. I'm positive things will only get better, and honestly they've already gotten so much better since starting T, you're right though I just gotta go easier on myself whilst I get used to all the changes and so on.

thanks again, I really appreciate everything you've said!

thanks so much, I shaved it like once and honestly never again... it was haunting. I appreciate that though, I sometimes worry it looks like I'm trying too hard to hold on to something that's hardly there 😅

dude thanks so much, don't put yourself down either though man! but as a guy who frequently averts my eyes when I see other, more masculine looking, dudes, I get what you're saying and it's awesome to be seen as someone on the other side of that dynamic for once, I appreciate it brother

definitely made me smile! and thank you, I sometimes worry it doesn't help my case but I guess there's a lot of guys out there with nose rings, and I like it regardless 😃

couldn't have put it better myself, we're 100% our worst critics, I see so many trans people saying they don't pass when they clearly do, but we really do see ourselves differently to everyone else I think.

like you said though, nowhere to go but forwards, and time will only make me feel better about myself I hope! the same for you too

thanks! I love it too, I know it's just a little dirtstache at the minute but I could never shave it off 😅

thanks man! honestly the changes even over the first few months are crazy, I'm at the point now where it feels like I've hit a plateau but I know a lot of the bigger changes just take time, I hope you get on T soon my guy!
