POSTURE ....
Perhaps one of the hardest things to accomplish in your transformation, is the ability to switch from your normal, defensive, male posture and stance, to the softer, submissive and accepting stance of femininity. As men, we are always in the macho, ready-to attack, mode, as dictated by the role society has placed on us, and it shows in our facial expressions, the way we stand and walk, the way we hold our shoulders, arms, and hands, the way we sit, and just about everything we do and say. There are so many little things that we do, without really thinking about them, that drip with testosterone, and certainly detract greatly from our feminine image, if not addressed and modified. 
Take a REAL GOOD LOOK at these two pictures, and note the differences in how the male and female images are perceived. There are so many different little things that are typical of the male posture and stance, which vary greatly from that of the feminine image. Placement of the hands and arms, position of the shoulders, stance, and other factors, clearly announce the gender of each person pictured, regardless of the clothing they are wearing. The interesting thing about this comparison, is that the two pictures are of the same human being, the first in male drab mode, and the second, as our model Veronica in fem mode. Now, imagine Veronica, all dolled up as in the picture on the right, but using the posture associated with the picture on the left!!! So you see, if these little things are not addressed in your transformation, you wind up looking like a guy wearing a dress, and your feminine image never gets a chance to shine through !!!
So where do you start? In general, you really need to loosen up, and try to clear your head of the male habits that you have been doing for countless years. As with any change, things are hard at first, and you really have to think and be aware of the changes which you are trying to accomplish. Take some time to look at pictures of genetic women, and observe them closely in your daily activities, noting the little things they do with their bodies which create their feminine mystique. You will find that they have a more relaxed stance, with their shoulders down, arms free, hands unclenched, etc. They stand and walk with grace, seeming to always know exactly how to position their legs to achieve maximum femininity. They seem to bend and twist in ways which are most feminine .... motions which are not normal for the male torso. They have an entirely different manner about their posture and actions than those associated with the male image, and all of those little things come as naturally to them, as our defensive, stiff male presence comes to us.
Being able to shift your posture into female gear isn't easy, and will take plenty of practice .... using a mirror, or pictures really aid in the training. Here are a few things to work on.
RELAX .... You need to get out of that defensive mindset, and loosen up !!!
SHOULDERS .... Stand in front of a mirror while dressed, and notice the position of your shoulders. Force them down and slightly back, and see the difference it makes in your feminine image, as your shoulders take on a more rounded, submissive look. Notice that this also sets your hands slightly lower on your torso, making the arms look longer, increasing the feminine look. This exercise is very hard on those built up muscles, but if done regularly, the muscles will stretch and relax, and your shoulders will tend to fall into a more feminine position naturally.
ARMS AND HANDS .... If you have ever quit smoking, you know the feeling of not knowing what to do with your arms and hands, and this is a major problem in adapting a feminine posture. If you practice the above shoulder exercise, you will find the the arm and hand positioning starts to come more naturally. Once again, use a mirror, and use your imagination, as well as pictures of posed genetic women (Veronica used a Fredericks of Hollywood catalog), and pose and practice. REMEMBER to relax, and just go with the flow!!! AVOID traditional male habits such as fist clenching, and arm crossing. Always position the hands with the fingers together or slightly spread, giving them a slender look, and making them blend in more with your overall feminine image.
LEGS AND FEET .... Use the same techniques discussed above in hands and arms. In general, legs should always be kept close at the knees. Standing and walking in heels is something that takes training, as the muscles in your legs and feet need to stretch and adjust to the higher heel height..... it takes regular practice!!! When standing, avoid a stiff straight-line stance, by shifting weigh to either leg, and twisting or pivoting slightly at the waist and hips. If you are posing with one foot raised, point the toe of your shoe downward, as this creates the illusion of a longer leg. Use this toe pointing method when sitting as well, with legs crossed, or ankles crossed ....it makes a huge difference!!!
SUMMARY: a few key words ..... RELAX, RELAX, OBSERVE, PRACTICE!!!
IMPORTANT NOTE: SMILE ........Always smile, as a good smile really adds to your feminine image, and takes years off of your face!!!!
Here are a few pictures of Veronica sitting, doing a few of the things we have suggested. Notice that she is sitting in an upright posture, but her manner is relaxed. Her shoulders are down, arms at a natural position, with elbows held in, fingers held close. Her legs look natural in either position, and notice the effect the toe pointing has on her crossed leg.
Here are a few pictures of Veronica Standing, putting some of our suggestions into practice. In the pink gown, you will notice that her weight is shifted to her right foot, she is twisted slightly at the waist, and her toe is pointed down. Her shoulders are still down, dispite her arms being held out at her sides a bit, and her hands and fingers are in a very feminine position. The same basics apply to the picture in the pink dress ....shoulders down, natural positioning of the arms and hands, fingers close, and a slight twist at the waist.
While posing in front of a mirror, seems a bit silly to some, through plenty of practice, the little things that will start to come naturally, are the basics for passing, or just improving your feminine image in general. If you have a brand new shiny car, but it has a few dents in the side, everyone will see the dents, not the sparkling car, and it is no different with the image you present for your feminine side. Posture isn't a small dent .... it can make a HUGE difference!!!!!!!!!!!!
