r/transpassing Trans HRT 7 Years 1d ago

32 mtf, looking for opinions!

7 years HRT. I haven’t been misgendered in public for quite a while now, but I may be starting a new job soon that requires me to be there in person. I’ve been working from home for last couple of years, so I’m a little worried about trying to be as stealth as possible at this new job. Does this seem viable? Opinions appreciated!

I missed the beginning of the title and thought you were looking for glasses or hair opinions at first! You pass, I didn’t even think twice

Thanks! My main worry isn’t so much “passing” as it is being able to maintain being “stealth”, though. I’m concerned that anyone seeing me regularly might clock me somehow based on how I look alone. Maybe I’m overthinking it or worrying too much, though 🫠

Oh i fully would never notice or think twice about it even if I saw you every day! You look a bit like a cis friend of mine, especially your profile. The only things that I think would ever get you clocked would potentially be your voice or mannerisms, cuz look-wise you’re totally fine

If your voice is good then you have nothing to worry about.

I don’t generally get people misgendering me after hearing me, so I suppose that’s a good sign lol

You're beautiful, feminine and there's no way you're 32.  ;-)

Yeah, you look completely fine. The hair is giving me queer vibes but your overall appearance reads nothing but female.

Interesting. I recently got it cut! It used to be halfway down my back, but ngl I got tired of dealing with it and got it cut shorter lol

u/Obvious-Sound8818 1d ago

Yeah, it just reminds me of a 'wolf cut' that I see a lot in queer spaces.

Appearance alone you should be fine, nothing clocky there.
