I’m a trans guy, and I’ve been out for about 2 years, and I’m pre-t. My hair is short, and that’s pretty much the only masculine thing about my body. I’m terrible at contouring, the small amount of peach fuzz I have is super light, I’m ✨dummy thicc✨, my face is round, and I have massive badonkadonks. I do not want the badonkadonks. I bind (with high quality binders, like from gc2b) but even with a binder on I can only get down to like a b cup.
How can I pass as a guy? I’m going to a new school this year, and wanna try to look as cis-guy-like as I can. It’s really hard for things to work with my body type. My friends and sister have told me that I sometimes look like a cis guy, but even if I did, I don’t feel like I do. I never feel ‘manly’ enough.
Please tell me ways to either be seen as male, or to see myself as manlier???
Dysphoria is a bitch
Thank you for your help
Try Baggy tops, styling your hair in a way that sharpens your facial features could help, I don't know what length it is so I don't really know what styles to recommend, generally speaking I would say if you have a longer bang try to sweep it back, for a rounder face shape typically speaking parting to the side makes it seem slimmer. The Style of clothing also helps, go for polo shirts, graphic T's, Chunky belts. Layering can also work wonders if you're trying to conceal your form Tucking in baggy shirts can do a lot to conceal upper body curves . I actually think men with more shapely legs are more attractive then stick legs that is a personal preference and really it means nothing but just letting you know it's not necessarily something that will make you look less masculine. Don't hurt yourself trying to do this but building muscles in your calves and thighs will make them more typically masculine shaped as cis men generally don't store fat in those area's and the only way they become fuller is with muscle, that's why a lot of dudes have like sticks for legs. I personally think more shapely legs are attractive on men, A man with a good thigh game. Don't get me started we do not have time nor the word count budget for that. . Essentially what I'm saying is having curvier legs than the average twig legged man is in no way a bad thing and can be considered really nice. We all know how we felt about Tom Holland's legs in the spidy suit. Ahem, any way. You'll have to do more research on this one but chewing gum builds muscle in your jaw which can make it more prominent, that a Relsey thinks not a Relsey knows.
Most of these are things I used to do when I was uncomfortable with my curves, I don't know how masculine it will make you but It should go a ways in concealing the curves. The rest of it is things we learned in one of my art classes about making our art look more masculine.
But really the important thing is that you understand that physical appearance and fashion and the "Ideal male physique" Have very little to do with Masculinity it's self. I think that you are a Man if you feel that you are a Man, if that is how you Identify, that is who you are and that means that no matter what your body looks like it is the body of a man because a Mans soul is living in it. It may not naturally look like a typical cis Man's body, but that doesn't mean it's not a mans. But I also think that what I think doesn't really matter, it is none of my business or anyone's business really, how you Identify and the details of that unless you decide it is. No one but you get's to decide what your body is supposed to be and look like. I hope that you are able to alter and accept and grow this body into one that you are more comfortable in. If you are able to, want to, have the means and are in a situation where you can use science to do so that is fantastic. But if you're not, that doesn't mean you're any less of a Man then the people that do. I don't want to invalidate your discomfort in the body you have, That is very real and I don't know the right words to help you and I am very sorry that I don't. Just know that no matter what the other people at school see you as, You and your experience are valid.
Please let me know if anything I said could be taken the wrong way It is not my intention to invalidate you in any way shape or form and I apologize if I have
