I guess this will be a pic thread, so post away - just make sure you only post 18+ adults.

I'm trans but that doesn't mean I'm not delighted and confused by people who have that look. Sometimes it's just an expression in their face but other times you can look and look and still not be sure. How wonderful!

I recently watched a UK TV series called Planet Sex, hosted by the model and actress Cara Delevingne and even when she was talking to camera her gender markers shifted like a mirage - there was no techy trickery. In the series she takes part in an experiment using 3D VR goggles that gave her the illusion of having a man's body, that moved and felt like her own. She recoiled from it, discovering perhaps that at heart she was female? Imagine how it feels if you can't take the goggles off - the trans experience.

Androgynous, until the internet I never knew there was a name for it, but when I was young that is how I wished that I looked. I always envied cute boys that had somewhat feminine features.
The flip side to that are women that have somewhat masculine features. Either way, it makes for an intriguing look that is quite lovely.

I saw her on James Kordon's show a few years back. She was in a rap showdown with him and some other guy who I don't remember. What I do remember was her saying that she's gotten more pussy "than you guys."

Harlow Rose Monroe
Trans fashion model from Calgary

'Modelling requires more than putting forward a pretty face, and Monroe knows it: “People like someone who stands for something.” In her six-inch stilettos, Monroe isn’t afraid to stand tall for the community she represents or share her story. When I inquire about her tattoos, she freely says that each one of them documents a part of her life. Monroe’s most recent tattoo, around a scar on her ankle, spells “R.I.P. Daniel.” It’s an homage to her former name: Daniel Harlow.

“Growing up, I dealt with depression a lot,” says Monroe. “I used to self-harm. One day I cut my leg open with a razor. I would have bled out and died if my sister hadn’t found me. And then, when I started transitioning, this self-destructive person kind of died. Transitioning really saved my life. I look at Daniel as someone who has moved on and won’t be missed but whom I’ll never forget. I wouldn’t be the same person I am now without Daniel.”'

I'm sure you'd scrub up well... bit of foundation and lip-gloss :heart:

( we can all dream, right?! )
It’s so easy to want to compare myself with some of these models...and I don’t think that’s helpful at all!
“Passing”, the ability to appear as the gender we are transitioning to, becomes a benchmark, a goal, and yeah I spend probably too much time checking myself in the mirror hoping to see yet more progress.
But the reality is that this is a slow lifetime commitment, and no matter how I turn out...I’m gonna be happy 😊 dang tho! like what am I saying there?
I'm so happy already just that I'm in transition and loving it!

Not hard to find quite a few lovely androgynous people online, this pic is from https://androphilliac.tumblr.com/
While I find these models very attractive, I’d like to find pics of those day to day, people on the street that are comfortable in their androgyny.
I see androgynous people in public from time to time. At one time I would have tried to figure out which gender they were but now, who cares!
 
I'll admit, my eye is drawn to beauty, of course we each decide what appears as beautiful. And much of the time I've noticed the things I find striking may often not fit societies standard.
But yes, I've found myself at times trying to fit a lovely soul into one gender or the other, and you're right, what does it matter!

I hear ya, but this thread was never aspirational and for what it's worth they make me feel like uncooked pastry. I guess they're intended as a celebration and to put the question of why society is fixated on binary gender, when we see examples of it being bent every day.
