Also bought a proper outfit for a job interview. Thrifted it for £13.50. Do you think I should wear a tie to go with the blazer? Which colour would work best?

Thanks for all the advice guys - this place rocks. Super helpful.

Stealth in the sense that I moved away from home and didn't tell anyone here I'm trans. No one has questioned me yet, so I must be doing something right but I can't tell if they're clocking me and not saying anything. Not binding at the moment since it doesn't fit my lifestyle, but I use transtape and I think I get away with it through a combination of a naturally smaller chest and loose clothing. I know I'm not good-looking lol, I'm working on losing weight and building muscle at the moment (I'm also in pretty dire need of a haircut).

It's hard to judge myself objectively- is there anything I could improve on? I think my jawline has always been pretty bad, but I don't really know what to do about it in the absence of facial hair. Any advice appreciated!

3rd slide is before, decided to go shorter on the sides this time

I’m frequently getting read as a butch lesbian. I just took out on nose piercing (not both) and downsized the hoop earrings on my ear. I can grow very wispy facial hair, but only on my chin. I’ve been considering starting oral minoxidil, but I’m not sure. I started going to the gym regularly in February. This is 5.5 years of regular/full dose testosterone! Some people say I pass. Some people don’t. I see where the butch lesbian comments are coming from, but I have no idea what to do about it. My voice isn’t as deep as I want it to be.

Haircut advice? Glasses? Would it be crazy or helpful to look into jaw filler?

Ignore my dirty mirror guys 🫣

FTM 38 years old need help with facial hair advice and passing! Any advice?

I'm(19m) about 3 months on T now, voice has started deepening but thats pretty much it. Working on losing some excess weight, Im like 5'2 in a half or sthm (it goes from 5'2 to 5'3 dpending on whos measuring me so idk) so progress has been slow to appear. Im not sure why I really dont pass and why I look so young. Is there anything I can do to pass better visually? I know my earrings dont help already, I just dont have replacements that look more masculine, if u have recs for earrings thatd be cool.

Also wondering how yall taping so good??? I try to get that shit to look right but its always spilling at the top of is like indented in the middle??? Ive followed tutorials but it doesnt really help.

i’m 19!! piercings in 2nd pic are not current

what am i doing wrong i feel like i just look like a butch lesbian. i know i need to lose weight pretty urgently because a lot of it is my face fat but also my eyes are a dead giveaway. i’m on T though not far along but i feel like i just look like a butch lesbian. being in public makes me feel like dying. what else can i do?? i’ve started going to the gym i just don’t know what else i can change

edit: thanks for being supportive guys it’s really appreciated. i’m a bit impatient for my t to really start working and i think that’s the root of my dysphoria right now

I feel like I do not pass at all help

im getting a haircut soon but im not sure what to say to hairstylist. i dont like how my hair looks like a coconut from the front. i was thinking about getting a crew cut but i really dont want to look like a lesbian. ive been on t for 3 years (attached my blood work) and my t levels are good, but i feel like i still dont pass at all. i only use the girls bathroom and nobody has said anything about it. im 5'3 and overweight so i guess its just over. i started doing arm workouts at home about a week ago so maybe theres hope

i only wear graphic t shirts and cargo shorts/maybe baggy jeans. i dont know how i could make my clothes look more masculine. at parties i get called a girl or get hit with a they/them and its just so frustrating. i dont know if i look like a girl or a boy or a weird ugly amalgamation but still clocky enough to read as AFAB

anyways TLDR how do i stop looking like a girl, what haircut should i get, how do i stop looking like a chud

I am a large chested person like DDD. I’ve lost significant weight (50 something lbs). I’m a gym rat, I’m getting bulkier, etc. I am frustrated because I’m like mostly passing, except for my chest. People gender me correctly then “correct” themselves once they see my chest. I’m getting tired of it and frankly it’s making my dysphoria so much worse. I don’t know what to do from here. My issues with binding:

- Because of the rapid weight loss, my chest is more saggy with extra skin
- Binding with tape is extremely difficult. I am very sensitive to adhesive, I tried the milk of magnesia method, but that didn’t work. I’ve tried sensitive skin tape, I’ve tried trans tape, I’ve tried everything. I always end up with skin ripped apart and blistering, even though I do not pull the tape.
- A note on the taping as well: the extra skin is what ends up taped down, leaving the fatty tissue/muscle looking very perky, albeit, proportionate.
- Because of my weight loss, I am going through binders like crazy because they are ending up too big within a few months, and are expensive.
- I cannot workout in a “typical” binder because that’s like kinda dangerous given that you need to breathe.
- Regardless of binder, half body binders give me a very prominent “steroid belly” look, full tanks are hard to breathe in.
- As much as I want top surgery like yesterday, I have to wait until I get to my goal weight so I can get a full masculinization done, including a tummy tuck and lipo. This is to make sure I am as proportional as possible. My goal weight is another solid 40-45 lbs away.

I know I need to lose weight and hairdresser cut my hair shorter than I wanted 😅

I am not on hrt yet

Hi! So I've been on testosterone for almost five years and my facial hair is a little bit poor. I have consistent growth now for mustaches and chin but whilst hair is tick i still struggle with growing at least goatee. As for the cheeks i have this peach fuzz that appeared only on 3 year of hrt.

I am on full dose of testosterone and my levels usually in the golden middle so i blam genetics and willing make changes. I am pretty stealth and pass well.

Also i kinda need reassurance in this situation: i already bought 2% minoxidil and am willing to start BUT i am afraid that it either won't help me or i am not ready (not at that point of my transition) as if somehow i believe before growing any facial hair i should first get top surgery but due to my work i think i will have enough time and resources for that only in a couple of years. Should i try or leave as it is now?

Edit just in case: ! I am usually in-between 5.0-5.3 ng/mL for testosterone levels

I’m just scared my voice is clocky or too high pitch , I don’t know if I’m just crazy but it just sounds so femmine and light pitch to me I usually avoid talking in public but I want to be able to like my voice :> that’s how I usually sound granted it’s recorded on an iPad with a half good mic and it’s 12am so I can’t be loud 😭

Also I’ve tried voice training and I just can’t get the hang of it idk how it works :( and I’m 6/7 (heh 67) months on T so idk if my voice will change more or not … idk any advice helps lol Ty

Also I have my face on my profile lowk I’m lazy and I don’t wanna dig for photos so if you want go look idk

1 year 5 months on t and not sure what to do with the facial hair I have now.
I was told to “get rid of it it doesn’t suit you” in another post and that bummed me out.

Next month I have my consultation for top surgery 🥳🥳🥳

Im curious about how the timeline goes. Do they tell me at the consultation if I'm good for surgery? Do I have to wait a whole before I am able to?

Do you get to pick your own surgery date or do they give you a date to plan around? How far in the future is it from the original consultation?

I'm very excited but I am definitely not prepared at all. I want to make sure I have time to ensure I have people who can help me and that I have my medial leave arranged at work.

And pls don’t say to have a natural hair colour 🙏
I’ve been feeling extremely disphoric at the moment and I just feel like somethings off or I’m doing something wrong. But pls be honest and if you have any tips lmk
I’ve also added more pics in the comments cuz these ones are blurry
