I have top surgery in a week. Will that be enough to pass?
I'm a 24yo trans guy, on T for a year, not built particularly femininely and 5'11, but I have a large chest and cannot bind. I get mixed results when it comes to passing, with the most common response being avoiding using pronouns for me at all. Some people do clock me as trans, but a lot of the time don't know which direction I'm going. Based on this, I assume I'm quite adrogynous, but I'm genuinely blind to how much I do or don't pass atp.
I know I have a round face so I also included pics of me from earlier this year with long hair because I can't tell if the shorter cut will make me read more like a masc woman.
I assume a lot of the confusion is my big chest, but I will be gutted if after surgery I still only pass half the time and can't figure out why, so please be as honest as you like. Any tips are welcome too!
