Can a hon be pretty? What is passing really?

i feel you. i'm over 30 and just starting.

>This may sound vain but bear with me. I think maybe I don't really pass, but I am simply pretty, and that tricks people into thinking I pass. Does that make sense?

nope, it's irrational

your real problem isn't passing, it's your unwillingness to believe you deserve to be the beautiful woman you are

accept a compliment as genuine, even if you don't believe it you can accept that others do

and for the love, stop paying attention to the vile memes here. just forget the word hon entirely

This guy isn't mtf, but if he was I would consider him nonpassing but pretty.

Also post pic.

It's not necessarily an issue of passing. It's that those around you perceive you as a woman (even if you don't pass) and treat you accordingly. Women generally get compliments and flirted with.

Not saying you can't be attractive and unpassing, of course. How old are you, by the way?

Thank you. I will think about this.

>>7531936
No. I have before though. Most say I pass.

>>7531954
Yeah that is pretty but not passing. I wonder if that is me? My boobs are bigger though. >>7531960

Yeah I get treated like a woman, and it feels like they aren't forcing it. Like they feel it and act accordingly.

I am 42.

>42

out of personal curiosity when did you transition? i'd like to think I have a chance of being accepted like you

I think what a lot of the young MtFs here don't realize is that eventually they'll pass because your low-average to unattractive ciswomen age like milk and so the bar just kinda drops when their looks catch up to your average 25 and under MtF around mid-30s to 40+

Everyone gets uglier as they age, trannies will have the last cruel laugh in the end.

I went full time 9 or so months ago. Hrt year and a half. It can happen. I am still struggling emotionally, but people do accept me and that Ives me a lot of strength.

>>7532002

Yeah, there is that too.

>>7532042

gosh it'd be amazing if things happen fast enough and I pass well enough that I can get a little time being attractive before I'm over 35..

Just stay on HRT and get whatever procedures you can reach anon and you'll be alright. You'll always be trans, make sure you learn how to live with that.

I'm a pretty broken human, but before nearly 25 years of worsening depression ate my brain I had a lot of natural potential. i think if i'm finally getting the medical treatment (pharma/counseling) i need i'll be able to work on building a real life & afford all the surgery I want (i'm a bit minimalist though).

worse cast scenario in which I'm functional, I achieve a solid middle class income
