You might be right, in the full view it might all fall apart. That's why I said it would need to be a very small, feminine man - Because while her face looks pretty masculine, I doubt her frame is the same.

Either way, I say that's pretty good, even if the whole thing ends up being Uncanny Valley when seen in full. You gotta admit, women who become men have it easier than the men trying to become women. One of those looks like an unfortunate man who didn't get enough protein growing up... The other way around it's never quite so easy.

It's easier to add to a smaller thing to make it look bigger than to make a bigger thing look smaller. A man's skeletal proportions are bigger than a woman's. Even an individual woman who is bigger than an individual man will have smaller proportions. So a woman can take testosterone, lift a lot of heavy weights to bulk up her shoulders and grow a beard to hide her female jaw. Which will go some way to disguising the womanliness underneath. But a man can't disguise male shoulders and male jawline as they are bigger than a woman's. The best option transwomen have to pass is to be morbidly obese. 200-300lbs of excess fat will hide a lot.
