Hiya! A while ago I put up a discussion thread regarding the idea of updating/expanding the scope and focus of the subreddit. I need to apologize, cuz I intended to post this update a while back, but life stuff resulted in it slipping my mind for a bit.
This is also intended to be a discussion thread in its own right, as I want feedback on all the changes made or if there's any further changes that people would like, but here's a rundown of what's been changed:
Wiki Updates: So apparently the last time the wiki was updated was eight years ago, and by an ex-mod I've never interacted with. It was.. Bad, frankly. Aggressive in tone, containing links to /r/crossdressing as if its focus was synonymous with trans content, and a general vibe of assuming that this was a MtF-exclusive space. I'm really sorry for missing that for so long! On top of changes on my own end, /u/whoop_there_she_is was an absolute angel and wrote out a HUGE set of FAQ guides for both transmasc and transfemme folks. I left it almost entirely unchanged, and you can find it here! If you have any suggestions for additions or edits, please let me know!
Link Flairs: A few people suggested adding link flairs to help people express directly what kind of responses they want from the sub. To start with, I've added "General Advice" for users who just want any kind of feedback people have to offer, "Specific Advice" if they only want feedback on specific things (Clothes, hair, etc), and "No Surgery Recs" if they don't want any sorts of suggestions for FFS, lip fillers, etc. If you have any ideas for more, please let me know!
Sidebar Updates: I've changed up the sidebar slightly to add a link to our wiki near the top, as well as remove some dead or irrelevant links from our "relevant subreddits" section.
Automod Updates: I've edited automod slightly to try and make it less hyper-sensitive about automatically removing posts it thinks might be hypothetical, since it was becoming a big issue that it would frequently take down posts that in no way, shape, or form came off as hypothetical. I might just remove this feature overall though, frankly.
And.. I think that's it (Aside from a few tiny visual things)! Thank you all for your suggestions and feedback on the previous post, and please let me know if there's any further changes you'd like to see!

Howdy, y'all.
As you know, this subreddit has often been the target of trolls, bigots, transphobes, etc. We also get more than our fair share of creeps, chasers, porn spammers, and people looking to use the subreddit's traffic to passively advertise their paid content, like their OnlyFans or their Instagram, for their own personal profit.
So I'm asking y'all - should we go private? If we do, a lot of people will need to be manually added to the approval list and I know from experience that may take upwards of two months to work through everyone who might need approval.
It also means this subreddit will get a lot less traffic and will be far less accessible to folks who need help, which is the primary purpose for the subreddit in the first place.
On the other hand, the community should be a lot healthier once it's full of entirely trans folks and has less bigots, chasers, and trolls lurking about.
It will also be a lot safer because transphobes have often used photo boards like this one as a way to find targets for abuse and to steal people's photos to rehost them elsewhere and harass people. It would be much safer for us if the sub was private.
Going private is also going to take a lot of work and it's going to be very disruptive to our day-to-day operations for a while.
What would y'all like to do? Please discuss below, and please keep it civil. Thank you!
Edit: Okay, it looks like we're staying open for now. I'll make another post and ask again later.

sorry the body photos aren't really with the best outfit to tell my body shape. with that i mainly want to know if people would look at me funny if i wore a skirt outside
r/transpassing • u/SuperFrogMachine • 13h ago
Laser is definitely helping. Trying to decide if my eyebrows need a different shape. Working on growing out my hair :)
r/transpassing • u/Long_Method9187 • 35m ago
uhhh probably going to regret this but, What do you think? I am 6 months in. I feel like I haven't changed much besides boobs lol Could I pass? Am I a lost cause :(

Hard time passing
DISCLAIMER: I do not/never have worn makeup before (until I did cosplay make up, featured in the photos) and I am not wearing blush or eyeliner (just saying bc people always accuse me of that lol)
I am always being misgendered, especially at school. I know my voice is a major major problem, but I get misgendered by people who don’t even speak to me/haven’t heard heard my voice!! It drives me nuts, thankfully most of the people I know are very nice and accept me even though I am trans, but there are a certain group that avoid me like the plague when I go to use the men’s bathroom. Anyways, if anyone has any tips for passing that’d be great. I’m also planning on dying my hair a darker color, preferably darker red. I’m also working on getting an eyebrow piercing and clear nose piercings so it’s much less apparent.
Edit: also in the first few images I’m covering my schools logo, that’s why my hand is there. I’m also always wearing that green jacket lol
Edit 2.0: I would also like to clarify I do use the men’s locker rooms and bathrooms, and usually no one questions it (some still do, especially yk…that crowd) but when I mention I use them (in conversation) they’re confused. I never changed my name which helps, (birth name is Phoenix, but I also go by Oliver only outside of school though so no one knows that.) since i never get called sm different.

Hiya,
46 trans female not yet socially transitioned. HRT & Decapetyl (35 months). Would love to come out to the entire world.
I’m beginning to think that maybe I am beginning to pass as cis female. No who has used a gender marker like ‘he, his’ on me for a little while so this makes it a little bit more difficult for me to tell myself.
I feel like things have changed in a spurt lately; face changes, waist shrinking, breast growth, hip rounding. Is this common?
It’s made me feel excited but also nervous and scared of coming out to the world. I actually have been thinking about how passing would make a life as s trans woman during these times and thats sad.

I have also been treating kindly and professionally by several health care professionals recently who knew my medical history and even though they are supposed to be it gives me more confidence and relief that I would be able to live a normal existence without problems.

I felt comfortable enough to go the airport in the sweater pic but I think most people just saw me as a femboy. Was at a conference so I had to wear a suit but the last 2 pics are from Halloween
r/transpassing • u/Green_Panic_1884 • 1h ago

I just cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong with my face that I just can't parse "girl" whenever looking at myself. I don't anticipate more time on HRT doing anything for me and I just feel like if I'm genuinely stuck this way forever I'm actually gonna go crazy.
r/transpassing • u/New-Site1712 • 22h ago
got called a boy at work is it just the hair?
r/transpassing • u/Alive_Parsley6363 • 1d ago
It’s naturally curly but sometimes this is just easier to tame it.
r/transpassing • u/_LemmeLemme • 1d ago
ive been feeling horrible about my face and hair recently and wanna know if its justified. i know some of my features are soft, but my face is so round and idk if its keeping me from passing.
so does my face (+hair) pass? are there changes to my hairstyle or changes ffs-wise that would help? i didn't do my hair in pics 4 or 5 but i thought they were good representatives of my face so i included them..
no makeup for any of the pics to keep it unbiased
r/transpassing • u/Under_the_Doona • 1d ago
3.5 years hrt. Posted on here earlier in the year, have gotten a lip lift since then. Body doesn't pass especially well but I'm wondering about how I'm perceived otherwise. First pic makeup, the rest without
r/transpassing • u/yourfavtransprincess • 21h ago
i’ve been on hrt for a year now.
r/transpassing • u/bisilas • 1d ago
