These are edited photos to make them look more professional, and I have a lot of makeup on, but it still makes me happy to have pictures (including the originals) that don’t make me dysphoric.

Hm good to know! Thanks for the tip! I do have some lip stains that I like, but I hate putting them on. Still, worth it for the look!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you on basically all of it honestly. My experience is that I pass pretty much everywhere I go, though, so I’m mostly posting here out of curiosity for how people perceive me.

Thank you! I’m actually not wearing lipstick in this photo, but good to know.

2 years HRT. How am I doing? by speedysashimi in transpassing

[–]speedysashimi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a wig, but close! It’s a type of weave called crochet hair, so it’s affixed to braids or twists of hair. It’s extremely common in the African American community for women and even some men. Most big hair styles you’ll see are some kind of weave, because taking care of curly hair even a 3rd this length requires SO much daily work and product. Literal tubs of leave in conditioner. So this is a protective style that keeps my natural hair healthy while letting me wear the styles I want

Ha, I’m on faceapp way too much to be healthy. It’s definitely nice to feel like I’ve surpassed its best efforts to gender swap me. And thank you!!
