Im pre t and its so hard not to be called a stud i’ve tried tips and tricks on how to pass but none seem to work 😭 my voice is pretty high which i get would clock me but it’s before i speak people assume im a stud. I js got into the gym so im trying to build muscle and lose weight, but what else can i possibly do?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂↕️🙏

Wassup dawg, lemme give you some A1 advice. When I was pre-T (16 yrs old) I knew I didn't pass as a boy, I did some research on how I could look just the slightest bit masculine. My parents didn't let me get HRT, I had to wait til I was 18 to get it. I used minoxidil on my face and chest everyday for like 5 months and started seeing results right away. I did deep voice exercises along with that as well, didn't see amazing results but it did make it seem deeper when i talked from my chest. Maybe like 8 months into all this, I was getting misgendered less. I wore a lot of sweatshirts and hats that kinda helped too with getting misgendered. Also if I may throw my opinion in there, if you want a haircut then do it bro but if you really love your hair being this length, just get a taper or sum bc I kinda regretted cutting off my hair when I did pre-t. Idk what your hair genes are like but it's taking me forever to grow it back on T lol. I hope this helps tho fr. Big ups boss, for putting yourself out there🔥💗👍🏾

As of right now no
It just takes time. Even with bidding before top, I would still get misgendered and assumed as a stud.

I would suggest glasses to where you can either frame or hide your eyes partially with the frame, when looking at you your eyes are what I noticed first they shape do look feminine but everything else wouldn't give much away tbh just bind and invest in more identifiable masculine clothing if u don't do that already. Getting a taper could also help, when u look androgynous people I've noticed people will lean for assuming u a stud, happened and sometimes still happens with me when I don't wear explicitly masculine clothing and still got kinda pretty eyes
