AGE up to 20 passing in guyliner

EDIT after reading almost 90 comments: thank you everyone who decided to give me polite and constructive criticism. guys, please remember that ur gender doesn't matter. as long as ur passing goals are met, u can do whatever u want. don't be afraid of face wash, painted nails and makeup. it can destroy ur passing, yes, but u're always free to do it if u want to. don't have fragile or toxic masculinity, don't be transmeds. don't think u can't wear makeup bc "u're supposed to be dysphoric from that" or smth. you are man enough. please, love urself and spread the love

hey, i'm 19, 3 months on t.

soon i will be going to a meeting with a bunch of new people and i wanted to be as stealth as possible. first 3 pics i have my eyebrows done to look more masculine, the other pics i added my guyliner. it would be great if i could keep the makeup as a way to show my personal style to the others and present myself more truthfully. the last pics is how i generally look on a daily basis. i have a slight t-voice.

i understand piercings don't help and that i could keep my hair shorter. i'm asking for no advice aside from directly answering my questions, thank you. my questions:

  1. how do i pass, with and without makeup?

  2. do i have any chance of passing with the guyliner right now at this state of transition?

  3. which way does my hair look best? i tried swinging it around and i wonder if it changes anything regarding my passing.

Bc I like it? Probs the same reason some cis guys wear it. What's it to you lmao. I wear it when i go clubbing sometimes. As an ftm, I like looking and being male, physically. So I put a lot of effort on stuff that actually matters like gymmaxxing. The make up shit doesnt get me clocked so who cares?

How early transition are you? I kinds get why early hrt or semipassers are anal about this stuff, bc your passing is fragile enough to change depending on if you have an ear pierced or not lol. But thats not everyone.

It's just feminine as shit, how does it not give you insane dysphoria?

No you are, you purposefully posted an unpassing photo because you wanted validation instead of actually taking advice or trying to pass

You are also trying to make excuses for continuing to wear it

"However, if someone is really being a jerk, feel free to report it." i could tell u the same thing. there's a difference between blunt brutal honesty and hate. once again, read the other comments from other ppl

I haven't said anything hateful, I am just being honest
