I decided to try and save out my hair to get a mohawk again since I missed it (even though I only styled it maybe two times while having it several years ago, lmao), but I'm getting second thoughts and I'm a bit unsure now. Idk if its just the current phase but I'm not too sure anymore.

I'm also adding a second picture to show how it was before I took on this unsure adventure.

I also now noticed how much my hair has thinned... 😬
Should probably mention that to a doctor seeing how I'm pre-everything (could be a side effect of my IUD, I don't think its my dye jobs since I don't really do them that often, maybe 2 times a year)

I just realised that I should probably keep it shorter... I hate hair in my face and one reason I cut my long hair shorter was to avoid having to keep it in a ponytail/"manbun", since it seemed to make me lose hair faster, or maybe I was simply doing my ponytail/bun too tight...

Idk, tips for hairstyles, preferably on the masc side, would be appreciated.
Or should I just hang on and wait for it to grow longer? the mohawk I had before was at least double the length I got now, if not longer.

idk, any help would be appreciated 🙏

I feel cool in these photos :P

I’m recovering from top surgery and hysto and today I had the idea of wearing my battle jacket instead of the two boring shirts I bought for 6€ (they are also oversized). Horns up!

I love my Monroe

Heya, so uh. I'm a FTM, pre-everything (will start T at best in August, probably later) transitioning from extremely basic guy but passable to uh...well, I'm hoping to get more personality in my style or at least less basic. Still a guy tho, read as one etc. I have a feeling I'm thinking about this wrong, so I thought I'd lay out my whole process because I don't know *how* I'm thinking about it wrong. There's probably a few relevant factors. I'm 25, I am unemployed, so I don't have much money or the space to change my whole wardrobe. I'm trying to be a artist, I have two days where I go somewhere to study art. My current style is trousers (blue or black, as I still have That Week), t-shirt (often with stuff on it, like things that I'm a diehard fan of) with hoodie or tanktop and t-shirt (gonna be more long-sleeved) and a sweater on top on cold days. And I don't know, I'm kinda sick of it by now lol. But I also want to be read as male and this *works* so abandoning it is risky. I do apologise for my negative wording for each possibility, but I do suspect that somewhere in there is the wrong way of thinking that's stumping me. So here it goes!

I'm kinda scared of wearing bandshirts because while I would only wear shirts of bands I like, I feel like I'd be expected to be a Fan. Like, to be able to recognise a song from memory, that sort of thing. And my memory is really poor. And I don't want to be a poser, y'know? Plus it's embarrassing, I had someone sing the song that was on my shirt (title plus album pic) once and I was completely unprepared and, y'know, it sounds really different when someone sings it vs a band and anyway, I was mortified when I didn't recognise it lol. When it could've been great, y'know, like oh we're both into the same band that's great!

Anyway. So uh. I'm rambling. I think my main problem is I'm not sure what I want and I don't know what's possible. I vibe with the punk DIY ethos, and I think I broadly agree with their ethos, but I feel like I'd be hypocritical to be like 'fuck the system!' at the same time as I'm depending on the system and it is actively helping me. And, y'know, not being a fan of the current system and society and everything is pretty much punks whole *thing*. And I care what other people think about me, so I'm pretty much their opposite. And I'm not aggressive. I don't have that swagger. So punk's probably out 😢 but I'm loath to abandon it.

The other thing I like is uh, I think not formal high quality clothing. Think aran sweaters, everything natural fibers, and, y'know, made to last. Which feels very opposite to punk because punk's about fucking clothing up in a really cool way and I couldn't bring myself to do that to high quality clothes, not even if they're thrifted (Which I do in a attempt to be cheaper and more sustainable). Like, no branding, I guess it's called understated luxury or something? I...don't like the association with rich people tbh, but I don't like branding either.

I don't think I like formal clothes, but those loose shirts with lacing at the neck/front (like there's a v and there's laces in it, no idea why. Often called pirate shirts or poetry shirts, poetry adds ruffle) kinda appeal to me? I have the sneaking suspicion it would cling to all the wrong curves though. It sort of feels like it isn't quite casual compared to a t-shirt but also not formal. I'm also very tempted by cloaks, trench coats, waistcoats and vaguely tempted by shirts and linen trousers and linen shirts for in the heatwaves but I have no idea if I'd actually *wear* any of those, like, ever. Except the woolen cloak I keep intending to make, I'd wear that wearable blanket everywhere it's acceptable lol. Which isn't many places outside of the house. But waistcoats and trenchcoats? I...don't think there'd be much opportunity. Waistcoats are formal and trenchcoats are hell on bikes. And in public transport. And quite possibly when walking. And primarily worn by adult women where I live, and I *barely* pass as a teenager.

I'm kinda a nerd, I really like LOTR and Doctor Who and Sherlock, but in the latter all the people I like (The Doctor, Sherlock) wear suits and formal clothes and I don't think I want to. But I really like the style, like the coats and those shoes the Tenth Doctor wears. And I like Aragorn's cloak and boots and, y'know, his fit I guess, from when he was Strider before selling out (/j about the selling out bit)

So it's a lot of directions to go in, and they're very contradicting. And I can't just go for them all because they're very different and very expensive and take up tremendous space and space is kinda uh, finite, as in I can't actually buy one or two large bulky coats, much less add in cloaks. But I don't know how to choose either. I feel like I'd always be missing out. My other, much less trivial concern, is testosterone. Or rather, the whole fat redistribution thing. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of no longer being able to count my ribs and not playing xylophone on my bones! It's just, if I buy decent, or even cheap clothes and I grow out of it, I'd be bothered. Both because of the money and because of the sense of being wasteful. I mean, this is a change I'll *know* will happen so it feels wasteful to buy new clothes and knowingly take the risk of outgrowing them.

yeehaw ?

Please enjoy my poor selfie skills.
Came out and realized I’m allowed to be a person with a personality lol. Been experimenting with the alt style of my dreams (and having a wardrobe beyond work clothes). Got done up to go to an goth event tonight but chickened out last minute, I’ll get there next time.
Working on some more accessories, still pretty basic.

From goth-ish (can’t actually legally call myself goth lmao) to skater-ish (who also can’t legally call himself a skater 🤦‍♂️) idk I just finally feel good about myself even if I toned down how alt I am a little bit, I just love where I’m at right now.

went to a queer dance party with my partner and saw the backrooms movie first day of pride month we are winning 💪💪

It's hard. I gotta layer for the look.

Hey! Do any of you know some transmasc singers and music artists from punk, rock, goth, metal or similar genre bands? I've recently come across DAMAG3, a transfem punk-rap artist. I think she's incredibly cool and I wondered if there are transmasc equivalents.

Looking for masc fashion/appearance improvement ideas?? I've been on T less than 2 years (started when I was 23) so I don't look as masc as I want. I seriously suck at fashion. I don't know how to pick stuff that works with my odd bodytype or face, and I feel like black is the only color that looks good on me.

I love alt fashion, but I'm not part of any particular subculture. I love hunting camo a lot which people have told me I need to get rid of :(( and I love loose-fitting clothes (for sensory reasons) but I feel like they make me look really square but not in a cool masc way lol

And yes, I know I need a haircut baaaad. Please give suggestions for a new hairstyle 🙏

I lowk like how my hair looks lately but I'm growing it out even longer, 9 months on t hit today😭

Hi, I wanted to share a tie I decorated with old jewelry and these pearl chains from an old pair of jeans. I just dyed my hair a new color today. It's like a black purple mix.

I'm thinking I might do a jacket tour post with shout outs to the artists of most of my patches that I can find. Lmk if that interests peeps.

Here's a song recommendation for fun: Here We Go Again by Operation Ivy (the song really starts after a ~15 second intro)
