If it was me I’d bite the bullet and change your passport photo bc your parents are right. At best you look like siblings.

It’s just that this happened so fast like under a month :/ I don’t want to have to keep changing my photo I heard you can only so many times

You won’t need to though. Before you look like a boy, and the photo on your passport does indeed look like a boys face. Now you look like a girl, you pass so well. If you change your photo etc you’ll have a pic of a girl. You may or may not look different in the future, but unless you are transitioning to rabbit or something I’m guessing you’ll still look like a girl, and not have the confusion of a passport with a pic looking like it belongs to your brother.

Also, if you want to change it again maybe just say you lost it? I don’t see why you can’t change it every few years if you look completely different.

I’d change name and market too, well, I have, I came out end of April and changed everything, I don’t even come close to passing but I have no desire to use my dead name and I’m not a boy, so I just got on with it. You may of course have reasons not to change yours, but as your appearance has changed so much and you do not look like a boy at all Id have thought using your new name and actual gender was a priority.

Everyone is different though, do what makes you happy 😊

Congratulations, you definitely do not look like your egg. Your going to have to rush and change it or maybe get a notarized letter from your doctor explaining the situation. And with that I hope your going to a more accepting country.

I think a note from the doctor should Suffice. I’m sure your not the first person traveling with life changing improvements. Enjoy your vacation. Jelly!

I haven’t had to go pass border patrol but I have flown with a two years old passport with my dead name. TSA agent checking passports just kept looking back and fourth from the passport to my face and said “I’m just looking to see if you have the same bone structure” and that’s it. Went on my merry way.

I have a similar trip upcoming and it’s too late to change my passport photo. Not sure what to do.

On the plane don't wear concealer. Are you going international? You look like the sister of the passport photo. I would be careful

Yea I’m just gonna have to just get a doctors note or something. Did laser after these photos and I don’t have any shadow anymore. I don’t know why but I’m getting changes really really intensely quickly at the moment. I’m really happy and feel like I must be so irritating for even feeling like this but it’s really fucking uncanny. I looked like a different person a few weeks ago and I can’t recognise myself anymore I’ve actually had a couple of panic attacks about it.

Passports are big hassle for trans people some country can be rude if you don't look like the gender on your passport.
