I posted here a few days ago. My current hair style makes me look more butch. I'm 18 and 6 months on T. The first photo is with my hair wet and slicked back to show my face shape more. The second is my current hair which makes my forehead look smaller. What hairstyle should I go for next?
I'm 18 and started T last December. My face is very feminine and I don't think I'll ever look like a traditionally masculine guy. I'll be a pretty boy at max. I know this sounds vain but I'm also scared of just being ugly. I used to be so pretty as a girl and people treat me differently now, even when I pass as male. I know I can build muscle and that'll help me pass but I might not ever look cis. I know I'm young but it still feels like it's too late for me. I'm 5'7" and I know that's tall for a trans guy but it's still short for a cis guy and my dad is HUGE! I'll never be able to fill his shoes. Every guy around me is super tall. The only short men I know are old. I plan on buying lifts to wear inside My boots to make me 2-3" taller. My family is supportive enough: they use my name/pronouns and will be there to help during my surgeries. They're just always talking about how they'd rather I was just a masculine woman and how they don't think trans men will ever be real men. I don't want to be publicly trans for the rest of my life. I don't want to have to prove myself to everyone. I can't wait to be done with this chapter of my life. I want to be known for other things besides my trans identity. Anyway, any advice on how to be patient/not give up all hope would be helpful.
I'm 18 and 6-7 months on T. I usually get gendered correctly although I usually get question marks when I'm with my dad (he's 6'3" and I'm only 5'7" cuz my mom's 4'11"). I still feel like my face is really feminine. I do have a really deep voice so I think people just know that I'm transitioning and that's why I get gendered correctly. I think I look most masculine when my hair is straightened to be wavy (last pic) .

I'm 18 years old. I've been on T for \~6-7 months. I feel like testosterone has, like, revealed all the hateful parts of myself? I'm a pacifist and I know that hurting people for the sake of it is wrong but I've been having these thoughts of beating people up just to "prove my masculinity" or to show the people around me I'm a real man. I've also had more racist/sexist thought lately. I thought, "it's good that thin is back in because that'll make them easier to get because they're more insecure." I know that thought is wrong but it disgusts me that I even thought of it. I know a lot of trans men tend to fall into this trap of toxic masculinity and I'm learning that I'm really not immune to it. How do I keep from becoming a bad person. Sometimes, I completely forget I'm trans and I even get a bit homophobic? Genuinely, I've done so much work to dismantle the lies I've been told by this oppressive society only for it to rebuild itself the second I get a glimpse of privilege. How can I insure that I'll become a good, safe man. I accidentally hurt my PREGNANT sister yesterday because I decided to pick her up without asking. It's really dawning on me that I'm not mature enough to have this much strength. I don't even work out, I haven't earned it. I need to really learn consent in ALL FACETS OF LIFE! How do I make sure the women around me are comfortable? I already pass, I think. People always gender me correctly but sometimes there's a bit of a question mark in their face. I do live in a very progressive state so it could just be that they don't know what kind of trans I am 😂. I didn't really fully understand the guidelines and this is my first post so I hope I didn't accidentally break any rules. Book recommendations appreciated!
There are also a lot of unsuspecting spaces on the Internet (like r/short) that I've come near that are very obviously incest culture. I don't want to fall into that or start hating women. I thought I was immune but, lately, I'm not so sure...
