I was surprised to see Cosy's pictures; he actually does look pretty convincing. I donno if those are photoshopped to hell, or maybe it was the voice or mannerisms that gave him away. But I can't actually fault the people who looked at his pic and said he "passed" in this case.

Must be pretty demoralizing for the rest of them lol.

Ironically he passes better when he's got a normal expression. When he does the AGP smirk you can see his jawline more.

But it was probably his voice; he says so further down the thread. Even someone who visually passes all the time to me like Patti Harrison has occasional vocal tells.

The thing about pictures is that posing and filters can hide lots of things, but in person, it is extremely easy to clock a MtF, even the very feminine HSTS. It's the shoulders, the arms and hands, the gait, the tree-trunk waist, brow ridge, mannerisms they can never hide enough, tenor of their voice, there a million little tells they'll never be able to hide completely, and it is absolutely cruel to make them think otherwise.

He's not as ugly as most trannies but still far from passing, IMO.
