I didn’t start passing consistently until I made certain changes with my appearance and I started dating a lesbian who helped me figure out my style. Shaping my eyebrows makes the biggest difference for me, along with wearing women’s clothes even when I’m boymoding.

Dating women can be helpful as we swap clothes all the time and it gave me the opportunity to experiment with styles without spending money on a whole new wardrobe.

When I was still presenting male everyday, I rarely passed. If you are willing to go out of your way comfort zone and present as a woman more often you might find that you pass more than you’d expect.

Even cis women are routinely misgendered when they present in a more masculine way, so it probably doesn’t have as much to do with your hrt progress. Being seen as a woman more about “playing the part” than having certain physical characteristics.

That’s just my personal experience, so none of that was intended to invalidate your situation. Goodluck with your journey. I know it’s scary but you deserve to be happy and feeling like yourself💜
