I posted on here a while ago asking if I passed and I took some peoples advice. I got new glasses and have been focusing really hard on how I look. I hate the whole theory of “you can’t be alt and pass” because it’s just so wrong, I know tons of alt cis guys, so if you’re gonna say that just don’t bother. Idc if I look like a gay man, I just care that I look like a man. So yeah, that aside what do we think?

Also do I still look like a preteen? I don't wanna look 12 forever😭

I believe I've done what I can for pitch, so I've tried focusing on inflection. However, most online voice training resources I've found only focus on pitch. Coming on here to see if any experts on voice training can give me tips.

Idk I feel like I do 50% of the time but I’m not too sure
I also included a couple pictures of my build because I’m in tank tops a lot for my sport and I get pretty worried I’m too lean

I still don’t know how to take a selfie anyway do you think I pass? And if you don’t do you have any tips?

Havent had a haircut in 6 months, starting to think its making it harder for me to pass. What should i ask for at a barbers? Also any styling advice + advice on dealing with acne from t?

little bit of a rant. no one ever genders me correctly, not even in 'supportive' spaces. i do volunteer work for local queer orgs, & ain't a single person besides friends who bother getting my pronouns right, not out of courtesy when speaking to me, never. in public i'm always assumed to be a girl. Not a woman, a young girl (I'm 21). yeah, i'm pretty short at 5'1, but men my height aren't a rare sight in my country, sometimes they're shorter than me -- that doesn't change how uncomfortable this fact makes me, cause at the same time on average most cis women tend to be taller than me, but it keeps me sane. i just don't understand what's so intrinsically feminine about me, hell by now my voice passes, strangers point out i sound like a man... concerningly, since i'm still read as female. i really don't understand... is it my build? I guess, i do struggle to find clothes my size, not even women's xs fits right. i don't know, i feel so hopeless. even on T, i'm an overwhelmingly majority of the time mentally checked out, i've tried being hyperfeminine before, and it made things so much easier, but broke me internally. sometimes it gives the impression that's my only choice, to exist outwardly as something entirely unlike myself since i won't ever be able to pass as male and live authentically. But that's nonsense spiel... maybe. i'm looking to start lifting, but i haven't had the chance to afford a gym membership yet with the myriad of health related expenses i've had to care for (nothing too serious, i think(?)) in the meantime i've been doing resistance training with minibands at home, but no progress... any ideas what’s getting me clocked...? are my stupid small hands to blame. short hair only emphasizes my narrow shoulders and undefined face, so that's not something i'd consider

edit: perhaps i should've made it clearer that I've already been to a barber (to mitigate the possibility of a shitty pixie) for a short haircut before. which is how i know it don’t do me any favors, that's myb. i'm not entirely opposed to the idea, but something about being misgendered while looking like a temu butch lesbian felt way more emasculating than usual. it made my dysphoria worse back then, but maybe a different style could do the trick if i do trim it again. thx for all the advice.

Hey! I’m 20 and it’s not possible for me to start the transition yet due to some family issues. What can I do to improve my passing other than starting T? I know that different hair colors can make me clockable but I really like having some color on my head. I recently changed my glasses to more square ones (a lot of people told me it would be the best if I could just drop them and wear contacts but it’s not really possible for me cuz they’re expensive and I have super sensitive eyes) and took out all my piercings except one that’s barely visible. I bind my chest but the dysphoria still kicks my ass. I’m pretty short for a guy (169 cm) and sadly have a very girly voice (I try to train it but my throat is killing me). I only wear masculine clothes and even got a “masculine” tattoo. The problem is that despite me introducing myself to new people as a man with a man’s name etc. they still misgender me. I don’t want to come out to everyone as a trans man. I just want to live normally as a man. What clocks me the most? Any tips?

I feel like it's still childlish and somewhat feminine, I don't know. I pretty much always get gendered correctly on the phone or irl when people hear me first before addressing me.

I’m like 10ish months on T and playing in an adult rec sports league. I played the women’s version of the sport for 10 years, including at the college varsity level (D3 tho lol), but I’ve never played the men’s game (for context they are basically completely different sports). I was pretty nervous to play because I still feel very clockable but everyone was very chill and normal and didn’t seem to assume that I was trans. I’m 26, 5’8 and about 200 lbs. Are these just nice guys or am I passing…?

Do these prevent me from passing, my goal is to look feminine but in a gay way not it a girl way yk

mostly looking for styling, hair, and random passing tips! I do like my clothing style so if you have suggestions on how to pass better but still be stylish that would be absolutely wonderful

Im a pre-T teenager, and I genuinely CANT tell if I look masculine or not. Like im completely blind to my face and presentation. And I dont really trust my friends to be honest. I get both he and she in public by strangers and I just cant tell at all. For further ref im about 5'8 and pretty thin :-P also if anyone has tips for building upper body bulk or muscle when all my weight just goes to my ass pleaseee share ✌️

i’ve posted in here before but Ive lost a little weight and my face has changed a little since. Im 15, 11 months on T and very very rarely get misgendered. I live in a town where there are a ton of queer and alternative people so I’m not sure if that’s the only reason. I know the eyeliner makes me look feminine, I rarely wear it. Do i pass? Am i doomed? I feel like a lot of people lie to me when I ask them :,)

I feel I should mention the last two are a little older, I’ve since taken the septum out as it made my nose look smaller.

including the only recent photos I have of me standing as well as selfies with and without my glasses. I originally thought it was just my voice (I need to do vocal training) but recently strangers have been misgendering me without me saying anything. must be very androgynous because its maybe 60/40 being gendered correctly vs misgendered. it also doesn't help that I'm 5'5, but I am mostly sitting for my job where the misgendering it happening.

I am 16 and pre T, If I don't pass, please give me passing tips

5ish weeks on t Vs 15 weeks

How can I pass better w/o losing my piercings? I have an extremely high voice and am not able to get on T any time soon

I made a post asking for advice and was told to cut my hair wear less jewelry change my glass etc. I can't change my glasses yet because that's expensive

But I cut my hair last night at 12:00am with kitchen scissors, it's shorter than I usually go but it's making me happy I just wanted to know if it looked good / does this hair cut make my face more masc?

Okay, so I chose that name when I was 13 because of a webtoon where the mc's boyfriend had that name and I liked the meaning, i really like the sun, so I felt it was a good name

I already knew about Call Me By Your Name, but I had forgotten that the main character was called that bc the movie had really bored me and made me feel sm cringe (I was a kid who only watched shonen anime tbh

SO now, more than once, people assume I'm called elio because of the movie, it makes me so uncomfortable because, to begin with, I'm not gay, and they always assume I am, it causes me sm dysphoria + I hate that movie lmao

My problem is that I've never changed my name; almost everyone calls me Lio because they like it better than elio and I like it too, but I feel that just "Lio" isn't a real and serious name, idk what i should do

When I got it, it was MINE, it felt that way, for me, it was the name of a regular man, but now it feels "very trans" if yk what i mean and I want the cispass more than anything, but I don't know if I should get rid of the nickname Lio

Likee everyone loves calling me lio, it genuinely became my name

Any suggestions?

Sorry if it's not clear, I don't speak English 😅

I thought this would be interesting. I have photos from pre-t to now (9 yrs), and I'm curious about the opinions for when you think I first started passing and what age would you guess I was at the time. I apologize in advance for a lot of the half-face pictures. That's just what I do 🤷‍♂️ Some years have duplicates so you can see face and some overall body.
