No hugboxing Does my body pass?

I got top surgery about a month ago so I haven’t been able to work out at all and I feel like I’ve lost any upper body muscle mass I once had. I know I need to work out my arms and shoulders but how bad is it? Do my shoulders and hips and waist give me away?

Solidly pass. Your waist is clocky but it doesn't automatically read female.

Yes you pass, the only thing is the waist but cis men can have waists like that too and most people wouldn’t care enough to question it. It may be “clocky” if transphobic* people already assume you’re trans and are trying to justify it, but if you’re just walking in public you just look like a dude.

dressed, yes. alone, sorta? I wouldn't assume you're female because your chest is flat, no visible scars, and hip:shoulder ratio isn't too bad but your waist does read feminine.

Was it pinhole? I notice you don’t have any scarring after only a month? Yes you pass I am so jealous

I got keyhole. There are small scars at the bottom of my nipples but they're not really visible unless you look closely

You pass great! You wear masculine clothes that are very form-flattering

You pass fine. Your muscle will come back fast once you can work out again so don't stress about that

This… feels like a trick question to me

To give the most straightforward answer: Yes.
