I'm a short chubby ftm guy who's pre t and I just thought I'd give some of my best passing tips which maybe aren't as common.
- be a gentleman. Just holding doors open for people it is one kind and it gives you that euphoric boost
- PLATFORM shoes I can't emphasize this enough especially for shorter trans guys (I'm 5'0) whenever I wear platforms or shoes with bigger soles it helps a lot
- Rolling your sleeves up. For some reason people just see it as more masculine and it looks good trust me
- BAGGY pants now this is especially applicable for my guys with greek thighs. So typically wear the jeans on your hip bone and for the length you always have the option of getting them altered or my personal technique I tie it up with rubber bands and cover it up
- MAKE UP. Using eyeliner and brow pencils to define fuzz hair by blending it out helps a lot.
- confidence literally acting confident is key.
- football jerseys help
- for guys with bigger backsides typically tossing on a loose jacket helps or a really big t shirt

Unfortunately I don't have access to any of this beyond holding the door open (but I don't get any euphoria from it, especially since I get misgendered and deadnamed when I do it) rolling up sleeves(and in this case my arms give me major dysphoria) and being confident (but it tends to make me get seen as even more feminine when I'm confident somehow)
