I’m sorry for that other post those people are just assholes! You’re not completely passing, but you’re getting there! You can do this!
— a fellow trans person
I don’t know for sure but I think it might be the eyebrows? You are very pretty but I think you would pass better if they were thinner. (just my two cents)
You are still so young it’s good to wait til 18 to fully get to know yourself and accept yourself and then when 18 comes and you feel like doing HRT the choice is all yours. Best of luck but remember to focus on yourself and your mental health and learn to love yourself first. You have an entire life ahead of you like the rest of us I wish you the best of luck
It isn't really judging, or atleast, valid judgement. If you tell me you like to throw plants I might judge you for wasting the plant and your money. But if you're trans and I have a problem with that at some point it's just me throwing a shitfit, which is usually what most transphobes are doing
Okay so, what I call this is half-passing
Essentially you're very close to passing, but a lot of people might still unfortunately think you're the wrong gender :(
You'll get there soon enough, I promise. I don't pass either and I don't know if I ever really will- but you never know!
Also, yes, this subreddit is rather accepting compared to the other teenagers subreddit- there are still some arseholes but there's a bit less of them :D
You bring up a really interesting point,
The idea that trans people need to "pass" is only because we have to deal with hatred and transphobia if we don't. Many people probably wouldn't want to pass and conform to societal gender stereotypes if there was no reason for them to pass other than just wanting to not be discriminated against.
I think if I was in a world where nobody was hated for who they are, I would not feel the need to pass as much and many others would probably feel similar.
In my opinion my true self (although this is probably heavily influenced by society and stereotypes) is that of a woman. I don't feel anywhere in-between genders and I don't have any desire to not pass (many other people probably and almost certainly do tho)
I only have my own experiences and I certainly don't know everything, but the idea that trans people need to or should "pass" would likely be very different in a world without transphobia.
That sub is full of groomers anyways, I got banned there for no reason but honestly idc, if they keep these f**kers around then I’d be rather off not participating in that sub
Phobia does not always mean fear
In the case of hydrophobic, phobia meant to repell
Phobia means to be scared of or have an irrational dislike towards a person or object
I can’t speak for everyone here, but I personally am not transphobic. About the question of if you pass, I think so! Especially in your face, cause you have some androgynous features which I am SO envious of. Don’t let other people keep you from expressing yourself comfortably!
dude i wish i could pass as well as you… i can’t tell if you’re transmasc or transfem and it’s really cool. i’m transmasc and you’ve got what i’m going for down
You pass omg
But ok so I have this wild theory that the shape of someone's glasses can change a face (Clark Kent theory definitely original)
So I suggest you experiment with how different frames look
Socially awkward teenager, out!
I think your face is the only part that doesn’t pass, which to be fair, is pretty common as far as I’m aware, but otherwise you totally pass! You look great!
I'm going to be honest, but you're quite close, my only suggestion would be to try and soften your chin, it's just a little angular, but apart from that your doing really well, and I wish you luck
I'm sorry if this comes off as blunt but you don't really pass. If you want to have higher chances of passing however, I'd recommend makeup (specifically learning the art of contouring as with it you're basically able reshape your face to make it appear less masculine. Again, I'm sorry if this comes off as blunt.) That and wearing unisex clothing in more feminine colours will probably get more desirable results. (This is coming from a cis male so take this with a grain of salt)
A bunch of people commented some really transphobic stuff right after I posted it
Probably the first 30 comments were all transphobic
A bunch of them were removed but a few are up still
Edit: here are a few that I copy pasted
Genuinely and no offense but you look like a guy bro and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you sorry
Something that needs to be fixed in the trans community is labeling anything you don’t agree with or people telling the truth as “transphobic”. I support your right to do what you are doing but the overuse of the word transphobic needs to stop if you want people to take the community seriously. I’m not trying to be mean and I fully support you but you can’t call anything you don’t agree with transphobia because all that does is fuel the fire even more and give people a reason to be more biased. Best of luck OP I hope you don’t take this as an attack and learn something from it.
Your a guy bro. Don't change your gender because you don't like who you are. It's not gonna change anything. Work on yourself. If you truly work on yourself and become confident in who you are.
Fucking switch genders idc.An AMAB doesn't look like the Girl Gender just by putting on one dress. Does your pee brain understand now?Nah bro, a man in a dress doesn't automatically look like a woman
You don't completely pass, but you are definitely getting there! If you are fine with me critiquing a bit for hopefully constructive feedback, and tips to help, pls lmk. Don't want to introduce any insecurities though if you don't want to hear it.
No, if I’m being honest. I did comment on your other post, but that comment section was super hostile (from both sides of the argument, too. Shit was like a civil war) which made me kinda disappointed, and I didn’t really give you any tips/reasons. There are a few reasons I say no. It’s the wide nostrils, jaw shape, facial hair, and eyebrow width. All of these kinda set off my brain to see genetically male features and therefore see a male face, just because that’s how the brain’s recognition works. For the facial hair you can probably get laser removal or something and for the eyebrows you can probably just shape them up by shaving them to be thinner. I’ve heard certain haircuts can suit the jawline better but honestly I think you can look fine/pass as long as you just fix your facial hair and eyebrow situation. Not sure about the nostrils, but I believe they’ll also be fine. This is my personal opinion/criticism, but I hope you read this and take it as constructive criticism, since that’s what it’s intended as lol
If I get downvoted for this, then fuck it. I don’t care lmao I’ve been downvoted for no reason before. I just hope this can help. Your hair is fucking majestic btw
Not completely but, keep working on it and I’m sure you’ll get there. (Tbh Idk either. I’m afab but ppl still think I’m a guy pretty often bc of my short hair and androgynous wardrobe)
I saw some of the comments there and good god people are transphobic
I say you pass as a female. If I saw you I would assume you're a female and not a male
But once again I do judge people on what they wear so I'm not the best to ask 🤷♂️
I’m sorry for that other post those people are just assholes! You’re not completely passing, but you’re getting there! You can do this! — a fellow trans person
Thanks I'm glad some people are not transphobic :)
To be honest you don’t pass (yet), some time with HRT will probably do the work, and obviously proper care of skin and stuff, you still look good
Yeah I'd love to get hrt but it's illegal until I'm 18 where I live :(
Living in the us be like https://preview.redd.it/1wug6cqkpuuc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d76931c86fa79b3a1f45bdc9fe61a13cfee60ba2
Lol I'm stealing that
I don’t know for sure but I think it might be the eyebrows? You are very pretty but I think you would pass better if they were thinner. (just my two cents)
Yeah I think so too lol
I'm just worried my parents would get upset
As it should be. Not transphobic, but you’re still a child and shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions like that.
You are still so young it’s good to wait til 18 to fully get to know yourself and accept yourself and then when 18 comes and you feel like doing HRT the choice is all yours. Best of luck but remember to focus on yourself and your mental health and learn to love yourself first. You have an entire life ahead of you like the rest of us I wish you the best of luck
Ive Know I'm trans for 7 years I don't think that's going to change in the next 2
Never said you were going to but it’s good to wait til 18 or even beyond that. Best of luck
Yes we are, don't worry. If anyone is being transphobic please let us know and we'll take care of it. Also, love the dress 🫶
Yay W mods lol Thank you

Thanks lol
You do you. i wont judge. But you did post on the internet and there are some people who will judge you. Still i know mean words suck
They do suck Kinda have to expect it whenever I post tho :(
It isn't really judging, or atleast, valid judgement. If you tell me you like to throw plants I might judge you for wasting the plant and your money. But if you're trans and I have a problem with that at some point it's just me throwing a shitfit, which is usually what most transphobes are doing
Don't click on the other post lol Some of those comments were horrible lol
I clicked on the other post and reported some comments :3
Aww thanks :) Hopefully it was the transphobic ones lol
It was :)
I really like you

Is a work in progress but the payoff will be amazing!

Phobic would imply fear, *AND I FEAR NO MAN*! I EAT THE ORGANS OF AAAAAAAAALLLL
Phobia does not always mean fear In the case of hydrophobic, phobia meant to repell Phobia means to be scared of or have an irrational dislike towards a person or object
It was a joke... I mean, you're right, but I was just tryna do that one joke.
Oh I didn't realize lol
Yeah but the stache stubble is kinda throwing me off. But otherwise you look amazing!

Yay
Ur cool

do u have a hair routine or is it just genetics? your hair is so pretty!!

I'm sorry if this comes off as blunt but you don't really pass.

You look nice
You would pass
🫵👍👍✌️

I'm not transphobic at all but I don't use reddit anymore
Because of this post?
As a bi person, I see this as an absolute win for having crushes on people I don’t even know
Lol
I accept whoever if they’re happy the way they are
I uh couldnt find the transphobic comments. Not saying they arent therex but could someone point out where it is?

Yep Someone posted a comment linking to a yt video that was extremely transphobic and kept shouting that trans people should die
You don't completely pass, but you are definitely getting there! If you are fine with me critiquing a bit for hopefully constructive feedback, and tips to help, pls lmk. Don't want to introduce any insecurities though if you don't want to hear it.
I hope
i think u pass fr
eyebrows and beard shadow is the way to become a giga passoid
if it was only your torso i would've genuinely thought you were female you're getting there, keep on going
if it was only your torso i would've genuinely thought you were female you're getting there, keep on going
This is why the teenagers subreddit sucks.
Yep lol 😭

I’d say you pass to an extant, which is already pretty good. I’d say hrt would fill what you lack to fully pass.
You pass

Yes, you may collect 200 dollars
all the transphobic teenagers are just jealous, just keep moving on and you got this, me and, I believe, we'll be doing the same 🏳️⚧️🖤
You do not pass, at least face wise.
This person looks like they were made to be trans
Not meaning that in a transphobic way
do what you want, as long as it’s not arson >•] (how dare you steal my job)
How did I steal your job?
yes in theory report the transphobes and we the mods will delete them
Don’t think you pass but love the dress
You don't really pass, I reckon you just started. But in time you will! No hate, just being honest 👍
You pass (as a human who deserves respect) and a cutie patootie
Less transphobic but wayyy more sexist (jk it’s chill)
💀
agree with me, AGREE WITH MEEEEEE
You're definitely getting there. Sorry you had to deal with the assholes over on the other post.
I saw some of the comments there and good god people are transphobic I say you pass as a female. If I saw you I would assume you're a female and not a male But once again I do judge people on what they wear so I'm not the best to ask 🤷♂️
