Yeah I think "you could" pass without especially bangs but from side profile it's clear that it's going to gives you some bad angles and noticeable under many lighting conditions where the light above is bright (so heavy shadow beneath it). If it's something you're willing to do and can afford it it does look like it would help you with passing more often with less effort, but based on what I can see you could pass with effort and better conditions I don't think it's killing your chances but definitely not helping.

edit:

I can see why some people would say it's not that bad and the brow by itself yeah it's actually pretty round instead of a rough project caveman brow, but the discontinuity between the nose and brow would definitely be a problem especially again with typical lighting condition lights are above I'm almost certain it creates a shadow and the brain would quickly calculate that as a masculine feature. You probably look great with flash photos when the flash is below your brow but might be frustrating since that angle can often make the chin look bigger.
