The last photo you use doesn't really do billy justice, even if it's better than the others. There's a even better photo of him on a true west magazine article called "it ain't really him or is it?"

Billy weren’t no bimbo. They tried this same mess with Davey Crockett. Bunch of pinko commie foolishness.

Yeah, I was going to say the same, I don't think I have ever seen a man with such narrow shoulders.. It actually looks almost like a deformity of some type.. Perhaps that has something to do with him being called Billy The KID? Not to mention he has no facial hair at all in this pic than what might be a little peach fuzz for a Mustache, It is hard to even tell in the photo, but looks like maybe a very thin mustache he has.. I never heard of people saying he might have been a woman passing as a man, I could see how that rumor could have came about with no shoulders or facial hair to be seen, but in the poor quality photo copy it looks like he has a prominent Adams apple..

You can't ignore those shoulders, or lack there of. A picture exist of a farmer in the eari 1900's who says he was BtK, facial recognition unmistakable, no shoulders.

If he was, he makes one ugly woman. You wouldn’t catch Powers Booth saying, prettiest man I ever saw”.
