    I would say my face. The rest of me does not look that bad dressed up. I really do have a couple of dresses, that I will wear once in a while.

    I like the honest answers and also the humor. My back and deltoid muscles are also rather big and muscular looking even though I don't do body building exercises. The upper arms look better covered too.

    I don't mind my hands, I'm skinny and no muscles even though I did sport in my teens. I have wasp waist naturally so I am okay in that sense. What I hate the most, and I really hate it, is my chin. Its not like its very big, its just the shape, its not round enough its flat on the tip. I hate it. First thing I'll modify when I get the money for sure.

    I'm not saying I don't have manly characteristics but I minimize them by my approach to things. While my hands(and feet) are small(or so I'm told) for a guy, I still make my movements "talk" for me. I use enhancers for hips and breasts when I go out but as I said my approach and body language enhance my female presentation. Also using slightly larger blouses and dresses to minimize broader shoulders, etc. In any case, when I move and dance, it definitely does not scream out "guy" to others.That realization would only come on much closer inspection.It is an art of illusion after all.

    Probably my jaw line.
    5'8" 140 lbs, narrow shoulders, no adams apple to speak of, slim body line, hairless legs and good cleavage is all I have to work on.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    I've always had a big problem with my nose. But my face in general seems to be masculinizing as I get older, even though I'm getting better at feminizing. Genetics will win the battle unfortunately.

    Lets see, Other then my face, My beer belly, Broad shoulders, Hairy arms ect.
    I just look like a guy, good thing I don't go out or try to pass. I would be a huge failure.

    But a good test for a make over artist. If they could make me look pretty
    they can do anything.

    The lack of an hour glass figure makes passing difficult.
    We do not need discipline to be kind, just an open heart.

    I have a huge upper body due to walking on crutches for over 30yrs. Large hands and arms with giant shoulders are not very lady like. No passing for me, so I say in the house.:-)

    I am lucky that most of my physical attributes are not particularly masculine. I have a big head (no jokes please) so to compensate I always wear a wig with a fringe to cover the forehead.

    I'm guessing that around 70% of the female population of the US feel the same way! You're in good company.

    I've gotten pretty good at dressing for my body type and the hip pads help alot, I don't have a visiable adam's apple and my face looks like my mother's. On the other hand I am 6'1" 230lbs, I just remind myself that there are big girls out there.

    It SURE is my hair ! I have the receipt and the box it came in !

    +1. Sure, I know there are probably female sasquatches out there, but that's not what I'm really wanting to look like either.
    Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
    There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
    Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.

    During my last visit to wallyworld, I too must say that most of the GGs and GMs don't 'pass' for the mainstream media version of their own gender. Then there's the Big Ang. I sweat I had to look her up to see if she was GG or GM. Big head, hair style not age appropriate, ginormus breasts, thick neck, lips out of proportion with her face, nose that doesn't fit her face and a really deep voice. I'm thinking she gets "sir'd" now and then.

    With that being said, I do the best I can with what I've got, try to look good and then head on out the door. No, I'm not the perfect size, shape, etc that the media says a lady of my age should look like, but then most of the world isn't. So just do your best, I mean come on people, flip flops and sweats is not what you wear to the store, and head on out. 95% of the time, most people don't care. That's how it works when you have the IDC 'tude... with style that is....

    For me, I'd have to go with my face, especially my nose.
    I actually have hips/butt/legs that are more feminine than masculine.

    Geez, where to begin? Jawline, nose, eyebrows, VOICE, hands, upper arms... But I really try to do just as Eryn so expertly put below.

    Some of the giveaways can be disguised like sweaters or jackets to cover the big arms, speaking softly, or practicing makeup. But the best things I've noticed to cover up whatever you think the flaws might be are a nice big smile and a great attitude. Good luck all!
