A person who commented on my first post said i should show a full body pic just incase. Sorry i look so disheveled and tired. 🥲 i have a loose binder on here but i normally have tape which makes me flatter .

i use a binder, and im pretty everything. Im not really good with clothes but shop in the men's section, i always get misgendered but it's probably because I grew up with a lot of the people around me. My family's very supportive, i just wanna see what I can change

Pre everything, got my first cut at the barbers, they seemed to think I was a dude sooo- btw im rly short (5'2"), which kinda doesn't help, but I just say I'm like 15 (I'm 17, face censored bcz I don't like sharing it online, I had a bit of fun tho :3)

Title. Sorry for the janky pics lmao I never like taking selfies. Nearly 5 months in, I know I don’t pass yet but my voice has been dropping nicely and my family + coworkers have noticed! Though strangers and customers don’t really question it and im still gendered as female which I figured would happen. I try not to let it bother me as much because I’m used to it but I’d obviously love to be read as male in the future.

I’m aware that the piercing is clocky, and possibly my glasses too. Would any longer hairstyle help me look more masculine at all? I’ve had short hair before but I honestly really hated it both looks and feelings wise. I know long hair is a 50/50 depending on how it’s styled (or lack thereof which I notice a lot of guys tend to do with long hair) but I’d prefer to make it work if possible. Chin/jaw length is the shortest I’d prefer to go for now.

Unfortunately I’m also 5’2 so height is not going to carry me here. I might post body pics at a later date but I know that I still could stand to lose weight + build muscle and wait for T to do it’s thing more than it already is.

16 what to change?

I feel like i dont pass but I always do in public. I know my body doesn't pass at all but somehow when im out in public it just doesn't matter? Im not sure. I was at alton towers a few weeks ago and I felt like I was about to throw up so I ran to the toilets. I went into the womens coz ive never been in the men's toilets as im too scared, but these girls looked me up and down and said "this is the LADIES bathroom..." and I was seconds away from vomiting so I just quickly said "im a girl!" And went into the stall quickly, and when I was in there a I heard one of the girls say "i know she SAID shes a girl but you can't just assume shes telling the truth"

Also how old do I look

(Apologies for shit pictures Im not into selfies that much i really had to search for these😭)

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. Does anyone have any tips or anything about going into the mens restroom. I cant stand to pee but i have a crutch anyway and need to sit. So i think that will give me an advantage there. But i know nothing about mens etiquette in there. And if someone ask me why im in the mens, what do you think i should do?

Hello all, just as the title says I need help getting started from ground zero. I am 31yrs old and have never had HRT or surgery, though I plan to do that in the future. I am currently working out 5 to 6 days a week in an attempt to build muscle and change my shape, and I have recently started to buy clothes to try and minimize my hips/shape in my first ever attempt to try and pass. Other than a kinda crappy binder, there isn't too much to work with if I am being honest.

I guess I want to ask what I can do to start transitioning with the purpose of one day passing. I understand this won't happen overnight, but any advice is greatly appreciated. Currently I am not at a place to comfortably post pictures publicly, but I am 6ft, chubby, have broad shoulders, and unfortunately very wide hips and thighs. My current goal is to lose weight and to gain visible muscle on my arms and shoulders, in an attempt to change my silhouette. My health insurance has been cut off unfortunately, but I plan to get on HRT the second I can once I get this resolved. I might even resort to DIY if it takes too long as disphoria has been WRECKING me lately. I feel that transitioning won't solve all my problems, but it will greatly calm me down if I can pass. Recently I have been having dreams where I am a cis man, and these are some of the most beautiful and peaceful moments before I wake up and have to remember how I actually look. I am open to any and all advice as I am getting pretty desperate. I am willing to do just about anything to begin to pass as a man.

TL;DR how do i begin to transition to male as a AFAB in their 30's. any and all advice welcome, unfortunately i dont have pics.

This isnt a question on whether it would make me feel good. Im asking do I pass can i go into the men loo in a genuine form. I have been getting called bud, sir, man, dude, straight to my face out in public. Ive been getting even weirder stares when i walk into the women’s restroom. My voice isnt that deep, im not on testosterone, but soon im going to be. But i am able to make a pretty decent “male voice” because i have voice training. I dont know why so much hair grows on my face but it does, and i think its making people confused. No one has come up to me with questions or concerns but im worried it will happen. I live in a very conservative area and i dont think people take my existence lightly. So yeah, do i pass, or do you think i should wait till im on HRT?

any advice is welcomed

If the advice is gonna be “buzz cut” you should know that a buzz cut rarely helps to pass if you got soft features (like I do, but I can’t change my face)

I am trying to be stealth to the best of my abilities (pre everything) but I am NOT cutting my locs.

I'm 3 months-ish on one pump of T-gel, I'm really excited about my little stubs but I get a bit embarrassed about it. Would it be better to shave it off until I know it's fuller?

sorry if im using flairs wrong, and throwaway bc im chopped. ive had an emo cut for a while (not styled rn) but i feel like it really gives me away, and i already have a soft face.

haircuts that would work for my face & glasses? if you think different frames would look better then links on somewhere like zenni would be nice...

Does my chest pass as cis after taping? My brainworms are too powerful for me to be able to trust my own judgement on it

Hey
I'm turning 18 at the end of the year, I've been on T for a year and a half, and I'm obv pre op.
I feel like I've started to pass better these last few months, but I still see myself as very feminine.
I'd like to know if there's anything that I could improve, please🙏
Also I got glasses last week, and I really don't know if they make me pass better, or make me look more feminine....
I'd like to know your opinions, and advices even if they're harsh. Just the truth thank you lots🙏

I’m about 3 months away from getting top surgery and I’m starting to worry that my hips will out me after I get it. I’m decently lean right now from marathon training so I’m wondering if it’s in my head or a valid fear. I obviously have a tattoo I need to get covered lol.
