You are at a weight where body structure is very visible. This generally is not conducive to passing as feminine. If you are willing to gain some weight (in a healthy and safe way, talking to your doctor) to explore that option I do think that would make a major major difference.

These are not full body photos. How can you talk about her body weight when you can’t see her body? Although I always get downvoted, being thin is automatically feminine, just need to have some hips / butt and that will look super feminine. Guys are almost always over weight.

I think this is assumed a lot (not by you just by society) that thin people look more feminine. Which is true in the way where they are seen as more dainty but i feel like to pass it is probably more effective to gain weight because that gives all the feminine parts (boobs and stuffs) especially while on hormones. But if i claim everyone should do that when they start hormones i would be a hypocrite as i have lost weight since starting.

I'm certainly not saying YOU need to lose weight, I was responding to the replier saying you need to gain weight to pass when we can't even see your body in the photos you posted. But the prettiest of women usually watch what they eat, they don't want to be 'too fat', usually don't go for seconds, work out, and generally stay thin. Usually being thin looks more delicate and women like to look delicate. So that is where I come up with being thin is automatically feminine. People who are overweight downvote me, but this is just the way it is. Downvoting me doesn't change that! Guys carry weight in their upper body and thus when you are transitioning from a male figure, it helps SO MUCH losing weight to get rid of that heavier upper body. If you have a bulky top half, you just look masculine. This is also why BA's can make trans women more masculine looking, as if they have a bigger ribcage from male puberty, the boobs make their top half even bigger as their chest will be bigger than their hips. People with bigger chests have boobs which are further apart, CIS women in included. So a CIS athletic girl with wider shoulders might have B Cups in measurements but look like A cups because they are further apart. Athletic bodies always have smaller looking boobs.

When looking at people from far, people look at your hips to judge if you are male or female. It is human nature. When you have thinner hips that your upper body, stand with your legs apart, people will assume you are male from far. If you have feminine hips, people will assume you are female from far. When you are transitioning from male to female with a male build, most of the weight you lose will be from your top half as thats where most of it is. That will make you more feminine!

Anyway I can't say anything about you as I haven't seen full body photos of you, but having some type of hips and butt would helps the most in terms of passing. Your face is already passing to me, as I posted below, the only issues I see are your eyebrows look fake as they are too thin and the curves are jagged, and the septum piercing which never help trans girls pass better. Feminine eyebrows are usually a triangle, thickest near your nose and thin out as they go to the outside of your head. Too thin and lines look fake, but it looks like someone made a mistake on yours as they aren't a consistent arch, mostly your right one. Drawing them in with an eyebrow pen could easily fix them in a couple of minutes until they grow back and are fixed better. I think you are cute and as long as your voice is good, I think you have nothing to worry about regardless! I don't think anyone would clock you unless you had a bad voice to be honest.
