passing?
is it even possible to pass if you transition after puberty?

all trans women i know who pass transitioned before puberty. is it just not possible after masculinization at 18? should i give up and become a terrorist?

Just try your best. You’ll at least be happier with yourself even if you don’t pass perfectly.

It’s all genetics hahaha some people have horrible masculinization at age 14 transition age doesn’t matter while still in teens even in your 20s i’d say 23 is a good cut off point but some people transition in their 30s and pass well

Passing is easier before puberty but not impossible afterwards. Recall most transitions historically were done after puberty outside of a few seconds workers in third world countries.
You're probably baby trans and aren't at the point where you could be expected to pass because it takes time for changes. I didn't even get fat redistribution until like 3 years in, and everyone's body is different. Unless you're like bald you're probable going to be able to make it.
Most of passing is unironically doing your eyebrows, styling your hair, and choosing flattering clothes that hide the traits you're most dysphoric about while emphasing your good points. If you're 6'1", have bushy eyebrows, and linebacker shoulders and wear sleeveless tops, of course you're not going to pass. Same if you wear hoodies constantly. You need something to accentuate your femininity and hide your worst traits.
Mg experience isn't universal, but I transitioned at 23 and I pass now pretty consistently.

It’s totally possible. Passing (esp post puberty) is like 70% luck and 30% effort (making up numbers). I started at 19 and I’m doing just fine, I don’t get misgendered and guys think I’m pretty. But it took me more work and time than youngshits. Focus on making sure your hrt regime is good first. Over time you can start to worry about clothing and voice and mannerisms (this one kinda just comes naturally due to resocialization). If you need ffs start saving up for it. Your odds are worse now but you’re far from doomed.
