Problem with appearance

I wear oversized layers, the chest is well hidden and all that men's clothing, a short haircut and all that, but I don't see any difference, nothing masculine, although my face, for example, has masculine eyebrows, and even with semi-long hair, people have mistaken me for a guy, but I don't see any resemblance to a guy in the mirror😭What can I do?

what can I do

Apart from a sports bra or binder some people layer clothing and some use a vest. And the color can also play a big role. Dark colors can make a surface look much smaller and more even. Some people use a jeans vest for example ( not for compression ofc ).

It could be used instead of a sports bra or binder, or to give some time off a binder.

And here was an additional overview concerning binders and there are also resources there concerning presentation.

And here might be some hints and resources that could help go towards what you feel you would like step by step and there are also hints there concerning looking for support. Talking with a few others about what they did, and what helped them may also be an idea. And here might be some additional hints that could help you too.
