why ya gotta bring stuff like that up man?

edit: also women with strong jaws: hot.

editedit: and thats from a non-androgynous-liking, heterosexual male. Just for reference.

You haven't seen many women, have you?

Strong jaws on women are not rare. It's one of my favourite traits.

In the extremely undemocratic, non-liberal, unprogressive, Christian and otherwise totalitarian part of the world where I live (Republic of Belarus), it's very rare. I haven't seen anyone around here who is a female and has a visibly strong jaw.

Is my post really that offensive?

It's difficult to explain.  I could pm you some links, but considering where you live, I'm almost worried that it might put you in some kind of danger.

Well, kinda everyone is here congratulating her on her sex-change (if I may use that term) and you come in here and basically say "I knew you were a man as soon as I saw you", which is disheartening to hear. Further more what call was there for that anyhow?

[Descan]

It IS a bit rude to say it right after she just said, paraphrased, "Looking at all male really freaks me out"

The State Security Committee of the Republic of Belarus have more urgent and important tasks to do than applying horrifying repressions to people who visit websites of LGBT organizations. Furthermore, the description of totalitarianism was sarcastic, actually Belarus is not as repressive as Western media depict it.

Okay, let's just say it was a values dissonance on my behalf.
If I really offended anyone, I sincerely apologize.

Personally, I blame the gender confusion on the number of adorably effeminate guys that have shown up in this thread. Quite frankly, with only the face, it's become hard to tell. And sometimes even with more.

Well, it's certainly not my intention to look like an effeminate male, being that I am trans and in the middle of transition. Things seem to be going smoothly as far as I can tell, but I can never really know what people think of me outside of getting addressed by the right pronouns. I certainly get told that I am cute every once in a while, but am I attractive in the way that men are handsome, or that women are pretty (or neither)? I'm unsure.

I thought you were cute, and was trying to figure out how to say so without sounding like a creeper, so I'd say you're pretty.

While it is nice to get compliments and nice comments, I think a negative opinion (even if it hurts) is more appreciated than a hollow feel-good statement where it isn't heartfelt--especially since I feel so in the dark on how people perceive me day-to-day basis.

It's okay that I don't fit neatly in Belarus' Standards for Women, in any case. If G.I.'s statement holds any truth, many cis-women don't either.

That seems odd to me, but maybe it just comes as part of living somewhere cosmopolitan, with all sorts of ethnic groups. I've always been a bit biased toward gals with squareish faces.

To be clear, I wasn't giving you hollow feel-good statements. That kind of insincerity is like marshmallows; they might taste good, but aren't necessarily good for you.

Seriously though, if I ran into you at a bus stop or something I'd definitely strike up a conversation. If I was feeling particularly impulsive that day, I might even muster the chutzpah to ask you on a date or something. You really are quite good-looking. To be entirely honest, I've got a little bit of an internet crush going right now.

Just saying!

[Ogdibus]

Do these, by any chance, correspond with the face shapes of The Brady Bunch?

I think I'm an Alice.

@Solifuge
I wasn't implying that any of the compliments were sugar-coated, and I apologise if it seemed that way. ^^
I only meant that hearing G.I. give his blunt personal opinion was more informative than any polite fluff he could have said instead.

And I am happy that you think I'm attractive enough to date. :>
When I started this process, I was ready to settle for mediocrity, as long as I passed.

I was confused for a second, thinking that you were trying to give this post a double meaning or something, lol. (My name is Alice :p)

No, I just meant the face in the square.  My cheek bones aren't that high, but otherwise I'm a pretty similar shape to the diagram.  The Brady Bunch character is more like the oblong or rectangle, I think, which means they don't match up very well.

Soooo I decided to play dressup

IDEK, I was really bored.

Something in the middle distance has you really confused.

Short hair = good hair.
