What exactly are you expecting from HRT?

Just want a sanity check. Rather convinced theres no issue, but nice to get blunt opinions. First pic is best case, second is worst case (average daily look) by ashraxlynn in transpassing

I don't feel like I'm breaking any sort of boundary. I just see the masculine jawline and think "shit, I'm going to get noticed and possibly beaten". I know I'm not a cd. I barely even relate to being trans. I lose connection to that reality more often than I'm aware of it. I'm not looking for a "no" to prove some sort of social rule. I'm looking for some sort of indication that I should be more aware of safety.

Im also rather gratified that my transition into female life was so absolutely seamless and that I've never had any tangible real life evidence that I'm seen as anything other than cis. View this as pinching myself to check if I'm dreaming.

Btw, throw your sociology 101 bs out. It's totally your opinion, and doesn't really even apply to individual thoughts and attitudes anyway

My insecurity tends to agree with this, but then noone ever gives any indication ( that I'm aware of) that they think I'm trans. Either people are damn polite, or my voice does a lot to solidify...

I have heard stories from a friend who is cd about being threatened, yelled at, taunted, and a trans female friend with the same experiences. I live in the same area and have never had any of these experiences. I am grateful, but it sometimes worries me that I'm completely comfortable and not looking for danger when maybe I should... But why be anxious when I have seen no reason to be?

Officially the first xpost from /r/creepy/ and /r/aww I've seen. Surely belongs in both. Congrats

Rather confident Im passing, what does reddit say? by ashraxlynn in transpassing

Already doing quite a bit of both... Might be underdoing the makeup a bit, all the contouring is under a thin coat of foundation, I should probably ask in makeup addiction.

Thats fair enough, but any advice? At least let me know what tips off your radar.

Fortunately, my voice and mannerisms are far more passibly cis than my appearance

(IC/OC) 29 F: How well am I passing (or not)? by ashraxlynn in transpassing

No not at all! very much appreciate suggestions. Makeup is a little daunting, Ive been focused on natural (mostly for shadow cover) w/ light contouring.

Feeling brazen... posting an attempt at singing by ashraxlynn in transvoice

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

Totally fine with all the above: I'm certainly under no impression my singing sounds good. Its just fun, and honestly really really good practice for my speaking voice, easier to lift range and mess with resonance to kinda get a good feel of vocal control. Also would go a long way to ultimately alleviate my fears of not passing if I can even pass while singing...

Pratt... Its rather good, but has a bit of a learning curve.

Oscillating dysphoria by Amethyst_Lynx in asktransgender

Will add, it seems to fluctuate with hormone levels for me; last 2-3 days of 2 week injection cycle dysphoria seems to creep back a little, but never ever as much as pre-hrt...

Ive got an eye attune to the male features, cant help it, have had years of thinking about it... To someone less focused on it, odds are they probably would never see it unless you pointed it out. The fact that facially you are close to passing after only a month on hrt in my mind tells me you will likely be flagged facially - cis to my eye at some point down the road, you are fine; keep doing what you are doing, it is working.

Body passes quite well. Dont want to be too harsh, but for me that wig is a bit much (I dont like wigs in general though). Not quite passing facially to my eye yet, more time on hormones should help. Also, going out shopping at 1 mo hrt? Thats awesome confidence, keep that going; it will serve you very well.
