It's the main question for all trans-femmes. You want to pass, and not get misgendered. So, before you work on your makeup, your outfits or your attitude, think about a few things.
Who is that woman you want to pass as? Imagine her, not as a real person you have met or seen, but as that woman you want to be. Is she butch, is she femme? Is a tomboy look what you were gunning for all along? Or is a refined bimbo look more what your soul calls for?
That woman, is she vintage, is she modern? Do you want to be a thrift store connaisseuse? Did you get inspired by the kids in Stranger Things? Or are you completely enthralled by the latest runway shows? Maybe this is all completely irrelevant to you.
When you finally see that woman, how do you find her? How does she do her hair? Do you rock that natural color, or do you find an artificial color that brings it all together?
Mix and match all of those. Are you a twenty year old grandmother, or a Hello Kitty skater chick? Did you find the perfect mix of Ginger and Sporty Spice? Or maybe you found a style so incredibly you, that people will just compare everyone else to you.
And lastly, once you have all that, what do you need to get there? If you're just starting out, do you have enough clothes to be her?
Do you need to pass as a woman, or do you need to find her inside of you?
When you look in the mirror, and look deep inside your eyes, make sure she looks back at you.
