One last “nickel’s worth” of advice: one I started with the BO regimen, I also started socially transitioning, albeit fairly discreetly. There are MANY ways to get your “girl” on, even in man mode. Daily, I started wearing thigh-high stockings and lace panties of all colors and styles. If a bra wasn’t possible, then a soft frilly camisole. Sweaters that are more unisex, but in softer more feminine colors, like purple and teal. I’ve been wearing makeup for years. A very light foundation, concealer, and powder. Nothing that screamed diva, bimbo, drag, heavy enough to even out my skin tone, but light enough to not call attention to it. Same with mascara. I’m searching for an ankle bracelet, and maybe frilly or ruffled socks.
Passing is also about mannerisms. There are dozens of websites on etiquette for both cis gendered and TG. How you stand, walk, sit, move your arms, get in and out of cars or seats, how you speak, not so much pitch, but tone and musicality, facial gestures, and vocabulary. Trim and shape your eyebrows.
Again…there are dozens of sites to help, you just need to search them out. Passing has far more to do with how you carry yourself, than your figure.
As your body transitions, you can transform your mind and mannerisms, and you’ll pass much sooner than you think.
