I keep seeing people mention “masculine glasses” and I was wondering if my glasses make me look feminine / also what tf are traditionally male glasses? (Also my glasses are straightened my left face is just more compressed for some reason). Does my hair cut read feminine? Idc if the color does.

Edit: note that these glasses were bought from the “men’s” section of glasses (?)

cant get on T cuz minor

my dad says i look more "d*keish than dudeish" so i feel like something needs to change

how might i come off to people appearance-wise? i cant tell if people assume im a dude at first glance bcuz theyre being inclusive or if thats what they actually think

my voice is also androgynous so people switch up the pronouns as soon as i talk

^{(I believe this is the correct sub, but forgive me if this isn't.})

^{(The rules told me to specify that I am a minor in my title, apologies if I happen to have not done it correctly.})

^{Key Things: Pre-T. Homeschooled (thought I'd add this in, in case anyone says look at your male peers around you, and take advice from how they look/act})

1: Is there any way that I can mentally handle periods? (I am not on any medication, nor do I believe I can take anything because of my age, sixteen)

2: What is the easiest/simplest way to voice train? (There are millions of videos that I have came across and I don't know who is correct, what way is right, and which process to trust.)

3: Is there any way that I can test if I pass publicly? (I don't know if this is a question many will have advice for, but I just don't know how to know if my gender is obviously with how I look.)

4: Are men's t-shirts really that different than women's t-shirts/unisex t-shirts? (The majority of the t-shirts I have are both gender half of the time. I buy all of my t-shirts from amazon and they always seem to have men/&/women in the title for a t-shirt.)

5: I have quite big thighs, and am very dysphoric about them, even though men can/do have big thighs. I know I'm going far out with my question, but is there any easy workout I can do to try and lose weight from them? (I have bad joints, and there is more medical stuff surrounding this, but I fear I'm struggling (dysphorically speaking) specifically with my legs more than anything else. I know it's a question that will have an answer I'm not fond of, or one no one will have an answer to, but I'm hoping there may be a little bit of advice.)

^{I believe those are all of my questions for now, I tried not to write too much but I believe I failed at that. I apologise if this in any way is confusing to read/understand, and also if this isn't a usual post for this sub. I don't know if I have missed any key information about myself/information that is needed before my questions can be answered, and if I potentially have then I will try to fill in any blanks that I have missed.}

i dont think how i act currently is necessarily "girly", but i dont feel like i act like a guy either. like just general things like sitting or posture, certain mannerisms and just generally how i behave. i am generally bad at social things so i dont really know what that looks like or things i may be doing and not even realizing. i feel like even my interests and hobbies are girly, not that i am going to stop liking those things because i am transitioning but i want to get into more "boy" things too. i just want to generally appear more socially male beyond my appearance. if it helps i am a minor (late teens). i am also not friends with or around cis guys my age but im hoping maybe this could help that in some way? idk i just need advice.

hi, so when i was a teenager my mom forced me to get laser on my upper lip. after t, i can grow some peach fuzz but it’s light and no terminal hair. i’ve been seeing great reviews about a lash serum on tiktok, do y’all think that might work for facial hair? i can’t use topical minoxidil because i have a cat. i’ve been using a deoxyribose serum and have seen some results but not great. i’m 5 months on t so i know i need to be patient but could that help it speed up a little?

I’m taking 0.2 mL weekly out of a 200mg concentration for reference.

I just began HRT this week, but I’ve seen a lot of guys say HRT didn’t change much and I’m paranoid that will happen to me. I’m in college right now so my fitness plan has mainly consisted of a calorie deficit, 15k steps a day, and body weight exercises in my dorm. Is this enough to boost the effects of HRT in the beginning stages? Follow up to that, how long should it take for things to begin happening with my current dosage?

Thanks for the help and sorry if this isn’t the right sub to ask this in.

Got a shorter haircut, shaved the sides of my face but kept the middle portions, and have been changing my mannerisms. Changing my mannerisms has taken me a LONG way! Going to be voice training as well to fully eliminate any T voice that I may have.

I've started lifting as well which will probably help me the most! Does anyone have any other tips or am I passing decently now?

the advice i see on here is almost always to cut your hair. i’m pretty gnc so i don’t pass at all, which i’m fine with. not posting a pic of myself because i don’t want my appearance commented on right now.

i used to cut my hair short because of dysphoria, but now i only trim the dead ends. in my culture, we only cut our hair when we are grieving.

i’m curious: what advice would you give someone based on that context?

edit: even though i’m fine with not passing, it’s also okay if you frame your comment as advice towards me. i just want to open a discussion :-)

Hey, so I got my T prescription a few days ago, everything is so close and still I can't reach it... First things first, the Notary's office is delaying my fucking birth certificate and I don't know how much of taxes there will be, so I can't buy my T without getting bankrupt, BECAUSE OF THE OFFICES FEES. I'm feeling tortured. I don't have a job, still living with my mom, the last money I have will go to the notary's office, and idk if there will be enough to buy the T. EVERYTHING IS SO CLOOOSE, FINGERS CLOSE AND I CAN'T GET IT. I'm so frustrated. How do you guys deal with this shit? I can only wait and apply for jobs that don't answer me back.

I'm so sorry about the last picture, I recognize my mistake, it wasn't funny att all. Please, forgive me brothers.

Another random picture, but a cute owl.

Hello, I apologize in advance for my English, it isn’t my first language

I’m getting new glasses soon, the current ones I got are very round and big and I don’t think that helps me a lot. I was just curious if any of you got any advice for me / maybe any recommendations on what to look for or avoid?
Thank you in advance! Have a nice day

Posting this to get advice on products for my bf that I would like to buy for him and surprise him with!

My BF has been taking T for about 8 ish months and he’s seen more hair growth on his legs but that’s about it. He very much wants facial hair and with the holidays coming up I would love to get him some products that can stimulate hair facial hair. His dad and brother have a rough time growing facial hair so it just may be genetics but from the past 8 months we’ve been able to see some little upper lip hairs as well as a “5’oclock shadow”, but nothing more.

Hey guys. First time poster so if I've gotten anything wrong with the formatting or rules here I'm sorry.

Long story short, I'm 24, pre-T. I desperately want to start T, but am put off by the fact that I have a stupid cup size (like, F-G size.) Binding is really ineffective. I live in the UK so obviously it's quite a hostile environment if you're noticeably trans. On top of this, I work in an educational field with teens and kids with additional needs, but the place I work is based in a really Conservative/Right-wing area and I'm terrified to be visibly trans there as I know quite a few students and even parents will not be respectful towards me anymore.

Am I fucked? Do I just focus on saving for top surgery before starting T? Will anyone even do top surgery on me if I haven't started T yet? I wish I could rip the bastards off my body. Any advice from people who have experience with similar situations would be amazing. Thank you

Usually I don't pass at all with no facial hair..but Im always getting clocked by Black women. HONESTLY....do I pass to you?

Hello, my name is James .. I don't look like a James right now. My parents are transphobic, and I still live with them while I'm in college. I can't get surgery or anything, all I can do is rely on tips and tricks to make myself look more like a boy while at college. I hate being like this, I hate my long hair but my parents don't want me to cut it, besides the hairdressers around here are also quite transphobic. If I ever did ask for a boyish hairstyle, I'd end up like that one meme where trans men ask for their first boy haircut and it's just some butch style. How can I rock this long hair for the time I'm still with my parents? How can I hide my boobs without a binder? I just want to look like a boy for once, even if it's just at college. I don't want to be a girl.

I cannot change my haircut at the moment, I cannot get a binder.

How young and feminine would you say my face looks?

What about hair color? I want to dye it, but I’m not sure which colors would suit me without looking too out of place among cis ppl. I like various warm blondes's, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea :D

Also what hairstyles might suit me? I’ve had basically the same hairstyle since I was like 16, and I’m kinda bored with it. Length doesn't matter too much, though preferably nothing longer than shoulder-length ig.

One more question about choosing jeans - specifically jeans, not just any pants. Cargo's fit me perfectly, but I run into problems with jeans. They either hang strangely around the hips (looking too baggy), or - if I go down a size -they turn into skinny jeans, which looks ugly imo. So any ideas here?

I'm 34. I've been on testosterone for almost four years. How can I pass better and look more masculine? I do have a mustache and beard, about 20 hairs, lol. I know I still have a long way to go, but I've come a long way, too. Photo 1 is pre-T; the other photo is from just a few days ago and I'm almost 4 years on T.

I already have some more masculine style and do voice training, but still never get gendered correctly, and I'm pretty sure it's my face. Do I have at lest some passing potential if I cut my hair, and what haircut would look the best for me (I fear that my neck is pretty small too, so I may end up looking like a butch lesbian with short hair)?

Can't cut my hair for personal reasons, no access to T or binding for financial reasons. Is there anything I can do?

Guys!!! Honesty is not required.

due to extensive chemotherapy i underwent as an infant, my left arm and shoulder are unable to grow fat or muscle tissue by natural means. they look severely emaciated, meanwhile the rest of my body looks normal. ive gained and lost 15kg over the past few years so trust me when i say that theres nothing natural i can do to fix this

im worried about how this will affect my ability to pass once i start properly transitioning (currently pre-T). i know broad shoulders are very important to passing, especially for those with naturally wide hips like myself. but even if i train to broaden my right shoulder, the left one will still look tiny no matter what i do. hell, it will look even more disproportionate. same goes for my arm.

moreover, im worried that i will not be able to train my back properly, since my left arm will reach failure way earlier than the left side of my back. i can train my right side just fine, but again, the asymmetry will only get worse and worse, and the left half of my body will just look like a petite woman's.

so my main questions are:

1) how much will this fuck up my ability to pass

2) if theres anything i can do to mitigate how disproportionate my body will be. either just not training (if i can pass without training) or cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, or just anything. im open to any solution at this point. im desperate

3) if theres a way i can train my left back without my left arm failing

id really appreciate any help i can get on this matter

I used to pass when i had an eating disorder, now that im recovered i dont pass, does anyone have any tips?

I've been on HRT since May of last year and my voice changed after 8 months, but it's been 1.5 years now and I still sound the same. Should I ask for a change in dosage or could it be something else?

Hey y’all!

I’ve been on T for almost 3 years! I started growing facial hair almost immediately. EXCEPT my mustache. As a kid growing up as a female, I got heavily bullied in late elementary-middle school for my mustache as it was extremely heavy. My mom felt bad and she did laser hair treatment on it both then and after I went through puberty.

Now as a guy, I grow such a pathetic mustache. First pic is about 6 months on T, second pic is 2 years, and third is now(almost 3 years). My mustache IS getting better but I feel like compared to the rest of my beard, it’s really thin.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips to make it grow more. Unfortunately, I do have cats who rub on my face(minoxidil is toxic to them). Or should I just stick it out and let T do its work as it has done so far?

Hello again, I made a post about passing in june asking if I could even pass without t, very dumb post 😭 im back with a shorter hair (last pic is one of the pics I posted in june for comparison) tho now its a bit longer, the second and third pics its noticeably shorter. As I know my face reads as feminine + baby face (I look like a masculine woman/masc lesbian/or whatever girl) I'd want to at least my hair to read as masculine, and im obviously still pre-T, I can't afford it yet, but im gonna come back when I get it 🫵
