Yes, you are passable! And believe me, going out as yourself on a regular basis is NOT living as a male when you think of it. How many males do you know who do this? :p

You could tell your wife that you have no wish to transition to a woman full time (this is the truth), but you do feel stuck between genders (this is not a lie), and you do need to take the time to go out and be yourself occasionally more than once per month and you can't do this with hairy legs and wearing a moustache. You can also tell her that you DON'T like yourself looking like a bearded fellow and you need to have the freedom to not be hairy if you don't want to be.

Anyway, I promise you that if you go out at least 100 times (twice per week for a year) to ordinary places and not just TG friendly places even if it is in the next town over (for now), you WILL be much clearer about what you want to do in the long term, and your self description (whatever it will be) will be a heck of a lot more accurate than it might be now, hardly having any experience expressing yourself in public yet. Does this make sense?
