wonder how much longer i can keep this charade going, my face has unmistakably been getting more fem the past 2-ish months

that said, i kinda don't even mind presenting masc that much anymore, mainly 'cause i'm pretty sure i look a hell of a lot cuter these days regardless of which gender people are reading me as :3

i don't think there's any real purpose to this post, i just kinda wanted to balance out my past selfies. 90% of the time i'm dressed like this, it feels more honest (?) to show the "normal" side, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

we'd say you do look masc presenting, but in a tomboy sorta way, where you still retain an apparent femininity. when we see this photo we go "oh thats a bit boyish", but not at all "guy". sorta androgynous but leaning towards the girlier side too. truly a nuanced take we know.

the big two thoughts when looking at you are:

  1. you look like you took gender into your own hands and
  2. you're quite pretty whatever ways you split it :)

    all these replies are blowing my mind, because when i look at this photo (or in the mirror) i see "vaguely feminine guy" and i truly cannot comprehend what y'all are seeing which makes you say otherwise. in my eyes i look pretty much the same as i did a year ago, just with longer hair and slightly fuller cheeks.

    like, intuitively i know that it's normal to perceive oneself differently than one is perceived by others, but honestly didn't truly grasp how significant that difference could be until actually seeing it manifest like this. feels weird as hell, in both a good way (whoa i'm further along than i thought!) and bad way (will i ever be able to see myself the way the rest of y'all apparently do? also, do i need to accelerate my plans to move out before my parents start noticing?)

    you look like you took gender into your own hands

    even though it means i've apparently failed to boymode, this pretty accurately describes my original transition goals and is honestly the highest compliment i could have hoped for! thanks :33

    you’re quite pretty whatever ways you split it :)
