op here. somehow i am almost always misgendered still. i know i’m not on T, so is it my face giving it away? my voice? (i will post neither bc im ugly and i have bad voice dysphoria 😔) but it’s crazy bc sometimes i have people assuming i was born male
do i pass as male? i’m afab and use they/them but i present very masc. i’m the one wearing all black. yes i know i’m fat 😔

There’s a lot that goes into passing that may not be represented in a photo, especially since your face is blocked out. Face, voice (pitch, intonation, etc.), mannerisms, hair (we can’t really see it all that well, especially how it interacts with your face), and chest (looks fine from the front in this photo, but could be different irl?) could all contribute here
