    oh, I don’t have that level of expertise, lol - usually I think FFS involves changing the bones around the eyes, the eyebrow ridge, the jaw, and might include changes to hairline (I wish I could get my hairline fixed, ugh), and sometimes a nose job. The nose is technically aesthetic, but it’s still fair that it’s included in FFS because some women have noses that cause dysphoria because of how they developed under the presence of androgens (I hate my nose, tbh).

    Because you seem to have avoided male puberty, I think your face is going to pass long-term and you definitely won’t need FFS. I don’t notice a jutting eyebrow ridge or anything. Your chin and jaw are within cis female ranges I think.

    But I’m not an expert, though. Just seems to me like your face is good enough for passing, as evidenced by how well you pass in some of your photos already.

    Also, remember that most people will look at you and unconsciously categorize you as either male or female, and then they will unconsciously ignore anything that contradicts that - if you pass as a woman, people will just interpret the way you look as a woman, even if you can clock yourself by certain features.

    And remember cis people vary significantly in the way they look - there are cis women who are much more masculine than you (not that this makes your dysphoria any less, but in terms of knowing that with little effort you will be very secure in your passing and safety).
