Transgender male to female, 18, wondering what makes someone (me) look boyish vs feminine? (photos)

July 22, 2015
Asked By:Givenchy7 in Fort Washington, MD

I'm not exactly looking to get surgery on my face any time soon, and just started hormone therapy. I was wondering what makes my face look feminine vs boyish, and if so how would I be able to fix that. I know when my hair will grow out it would probably look feminine, but just wondering why it doesn't look completely feminine with short hair, and what features cause this. I'm 115 pounds and wider waist and thighs, so other than my face I don't think it would be that hard to transition body wise.
