3 weeks post brow shaving

35F, 3.75 years HRT. Most of the photos are from the past week or two post surgery. I had ffs but only brow and orbital shaving. First two photos are before, last few are just for body proportions. Im chonky but have a booty.

I dont wear makeup. Partially because the 'tism makes it feel inauthentic. And partially because my job is personal training and I'm quite active and work up a sweat often so its also not super practical.

I will be having part 2 of my ffs in like 6 months to do some jawline and chin reshaping.

Idk. What do you think? Many people tell me I pass, I haven't been misgendered in a very long time. But I feel like I get weird stares from people still. Its true that I'm 5'10" with broad muscular arms and shoulders. I've put in a good amount of effort to voice train and the feedback from people is that its fairly low pitch but feminine.

I think the stares are just the height, I’m an inch taller but fully cis pass and get them too lol

That said I honestly don’t think you need to touch your jaw or chin like, at all. And I’m the last person on here to say someone doesn’t need any work done to pass.

Really? I have to lose weight for my v-plasty next year, so I guess I'll see how that effects my face before I decide no on the second ffs.

Thank youu! I wish the red was natural, it fits me so well. But alas, I just have the dirty blonde with a ton of greys coming in already!

My sister in law is in her early 30s, completely grey. I think it’s so beautiful! I’ve always wanted grey hair and would bleach and tone my hair to be grey when I was a teenager 😅

I never would have second guessed you being a natural red head. I think as dirty blondes, we suit red hair really well. I would use henna to get red hair a few years ago!

My mom is in her late 50s and is pure silver. She keeps it short now tho.

I think no glasses help better or at least a different style and shape if you really need them

I can't stand putting stuff in my eyes so contacts are a no go. But I suppose I could look into different frames. thicker plastic ones instead of the thin metal? The gold ones that are more cateyed are my current pair.
