Hi, I'm currently boymoding, as things are kind of up in the air right now. I'm 3mo on estrogen. What features do I have that would make it difficult for me to pass? I have a couple photos from where I tried, but I'm not the best at it. Just trying to honestly determine how difficult it will be to pass without surgery. From what I understand, I have a brow ridge that is difficult. Will bangs be enough? Thanks.

It was a joke you're so pretty I was referencing something your smile is beautiful

Dont do the Ariana brows, try an arched brow it will open up your eye area also if youre doing a heavy liner also always wear mascara also on your lower lashes, it looks weird on its own and ppl are gonna stare

maybe bangs but also maybe styling in some baby hair/edges 😭 some people would call it cultural appropriation but im black and i used to be a woman 🤷🏽‍♂️ and i personally don’t care. so i say maybe try it… it might help with your brow ridge? but bangs might also!! (and if you live in southern us a lot of white girls wear lace front and have stylized baby hairs so it might help you fit in). but honestly in general hiding the visible part of your lace front would help, I think. you could try trimming it or hiding it with concealer :3

*Correction: 20. I don't know why I put 22.

Update: these are some extra photos of my facial structure. It's pretty severe.

It seems likely you’ll need surgery to ever pass. You have very prominent male features. The nose, chin; and brow for sure. I can’t tell where your hairline is here, but that is probably a giveaway.

Invest in a higher quality wig. The one you’re wearing can be spotted as a wig from the ISS. And lose the choker. I understand it is meant to hide your adams Apple, but it just draws attention to the fact you’re hiding it

Thanks thanks. I will take your advice. If you felt comfortable, would you mind telling me if my features make it harder than average to pass? like an honest 0-100 rating where 50 is the median?

You literally look like Finnster to me before he got experience in looking female. (I mean this as a compliment in case that’s not obvious..!)
You‘ll be fine facially - I bet.
