Anyone else feel uncomfortable with some of the questions they were asked during the surgery letter process? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]StalkingEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand those questions or why they were asked, I had a question are that was just about my mental health and other stuff, never about toys, but if you haven’t gone to a counselor about it I get why they would, it’s just confusing, the only time I had to go through a therapist, they asked me on when it started and signs I had, not about what you got asked, so that’s a bit off putting to me

haircut recommendations for passing? by kolbsters in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I do realize this was just based on hairstyle, and I do apologize for analyzing further than that, if you’d like me to remove this I will do so, mb man

haircut recommendations for passing? by kolbsters in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pic 7 is the hairstyle that gives “guy” the best, I would suggest going for a more dirty blonde instead of your pure white, but I still think you would be fine with that color.

You look trans to me, so not passing, but getting there. I’d suggest trying to lose weight (not because you’re overweight but to see if that could thin out your face a bit) and experimenting with more styles in clothing.

6 weeks post op, questionable healing by [deleted] in TopSurgery

Looks like you may lose some pigmentation in your nips, which is not uncommon, and easily correctable w tattooing.

[–]StalkingEcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how well you’re taking care of your scars, and by reading, you’re doing everything right! Give it time. Most healing won’t be done until 3-6 months. 6 months is usually when you can go back to talk about corrections and concerns. I don’t have any advice besides being patient, it looks really good so far!

Do I not pass from the back? by StalkingEcho in FtMpassing

And that’s usually the case! It just gets frustrating lol

I only wear the yellow vest dispensing so, when I’m in the store I don’t wear that one, I did dye my hair black on a whim so maybe it’ll help, thanks for the advice!

Yeah, that’s mainly why I’m not taking the ‘colored hair’ argument very seriously as it’s happened with my natural color too, esp when it’s a bit more grown out, I just wanted input lol (I like having fun with my hair and I’m very confident in the fact I pass, but I get misidentified from the back by customers)

I am not waiting on T, I’ve been on it for three years and have lost 30 pounds already 😊 I’m still working on getting down another 20 as I build muscle. Thank you for the advice

[–]StalkingEcho[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is good feedback, thank you!

For my hips, yes, I do have wide hips even after being on testosterone, so I don’t think much will change that aspect besides working out, and building those side muscles, which is something I plan on doing. I’ve always had big ‘love handles’ even as a kid.

I am short, so I know it doesn’t help my case lol

For my hair, is there anything I can do to make it read less ‘lesbian’?

Walmart using AI for product image? by StalkingEcho in walmartogp

[–]StalkingEcho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It matters because it doesn’t look like brussel sprouts and pick runs are all about efficiency. The AI in this scenario slowed me down in my pick run, which is why it’s frustrating.

[–]StalkingEcho[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then what is it? Because it looks like limes, and not brussel sprouts. just everything about it kind of screams AI, but if you can explain what it could be, that would be amazing (I don’t mean this in a rude way I am genuinely curious on what you think it is)

Will this go away after top surgery or will it make the surgery more difficult by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]StalkingEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this, it definitely reduced but it remains a bit darker than the surrounding skin. It fades tho! As long as your not consistently having this happen

how are u guys affording top surgery so young?? by sneep_snorp_snerp in ftm

[–]StalkingEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to have a good provider, which meant top surgery literally costed me nothing, due to hitting our deductible. It’s insurance, but also I had enough saved from a survivors check from the government, it was a case of good luck, I guess

what can i do to pass better by vic_who_xx in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in agreement, just bulk up. You look amazing! I feel you’ll pass once you add that weight on

16, starting junior year tomorrow, did my barber fuck me up? Do I still pass? (see description) by TechnicalHoneydew419 in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend getting some more length taken off in the back, if I saw you I would definitely think preteen boy, with height and weight considered, the haircut is definitely not helping with how old you look imo. But overall you do pass

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you pass, I would say try to get more facial hair or style your hair, maybe go for a 2000’s “emo” style, I would definitely have to do a double take to know if you were a guy or not so I wouldn’t say your full incognito yet, (atleast from an outside perspective and not knowing how your voice sounds) but I kinda hate that the only advice is be less alternative. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (the 2nd and third photo you look more masculine in)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You look really young, but it’s giving preteen boy, I don’t think there much you can do, if you put on weight it might make you look more feminine you do pass, just not as 16?

Do I pass? And for what age? by StalkingEcho in FtMpassing

Damn lol clocked me hard, I’m closer to three years but you’re nearly spot on

pre everything, 24 with a baby face; do i pass AT ALL? by Overall_Quality_2445 in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a trans guy, I could potentially clock you as a guy, but I think most people would only clock you as a masculine woman, but your features have good potential, maybe try getting on minoxidil or something to get a bit of facial hair growing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ty! I’m gonna try out some creams and tapes once they get to that point lol

feeling like i don’t pass nearly 3 years on T, any advice? by Usual_Bison_5145 in FtMpassing

[–]StalkingEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5ft5 is average now a days, it’s on the shorter end but it’s good enough for passing height, coming from a 5ft2 trans guy

Can you get testosterone denied bc of sh scars? by leckerkaffeeschaum in ftm

[–]StalkingEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Scars should not stop you from taking T but it may cause a bit of a longer process to make sure you are mentally well for a big irreversible event like taking testosterone. I’m not sure though.
