I’ve been 10months on HRT so maybe it’s still too early to tell but I genuinely believe I won’t pass unless I get FFS, my face was quite masculine before HRT and I think it’s not possible to change some stuff without surgical intervention. I have a prominent brow ridge, my jaw is square and my chin is cleft. No matter how hard I try with makeup, voice, eyebrows and hair, I still get sir’d once people see my face. Sorrowfully without much hesitation. It makes me feel terribly illegitimate to call myself a woman when I look like this.
My dysphoria has lowered a lot since starting though and I actually feel alive for once in my life. But maybe it would be better identifying as a femboy until I can get FFS…
Personally, I think you should identify as whatever the hell you want and not worry about how your appearance might affect people’s perception.
I don’t think there should be a threshold for how feminine a trans person needs to be before they can change how they personally identify.
I might have also completely misinterpreted what you’re saying because I’m really fucking tired. Anyway I hope I could be helpful in some way.
I agree but if I go to the women’s bathroom I’d still immediately get kicked out :(
That won’t change for years until I get my maimed face fixed…
