I am one year on T, and I will be honest with you – I hate the way I look
It's hard to tell if I pass irl because I rarely interact with strangers, but I feel like the only thing that helps me passing is my voice
I'm short and skinny (160cm) which i think is the biggest thing ppl notice. I train but I just don't build much muscle. I took out my piercings a while back and I feel like I pass better now. also im currently growing out a buzzcut. opinions? any tips for passing better?
I've seen a post of someone who looked very cis, checked their post history and saw they were cis on based their other posts in certain subreddits. Even asked a question on a different subreddit what would happen if they would take estrogen and if their scrotum would become smaller. I DMd them and asked why they are pretending to be FtM and they blocked me and made their post history invisible. Just wanted to warn you guys, be careful, I do not know why these idiots pretend to be FtM while they are cis in this subreddit
I’m 22. Pre T. I wasn’t trying to pass in these pictures since I’m in a unaccepting environment, but is it possible for me to pass Pre T if I were to change my hair or anything else?
I want to know what I can do to pass better. Do I even look my age? My friends say I do but I'm worried that I just look like a young boy.
I'm probably being impatient and just need to give the T more time to cook but I want to know if there's anything I can do in the meantime.
Still not sure I can use the men's room as I am 5'3.
I want to see what the people on this sub might think. I pass IRL, but I think my facial hair does a LOT of heavy lifting. Would you say I pass as cis or am I clocky?
I'm 5'5, on T for 3.5 years.
I've been considering getting different glasses frames if that might help.
Hello! My name is Geordie. I am a Black Trans-masc who is currently raising money to afford top surgery.
I will be paying for everything completely out of pocket because I do not have insurance coverage or family support to help with the costs.
For my own safety and privacy, I am not able to share photos of my face publicly. Even so, I wanted to share a little of my story and ask for support during this important step in my life.
Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to me and help me get closer to my goal. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is also deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and support me.
title says it all. i always get gendered correctly even when i wear my most feminine outfits, but i also live in a liberal ass area so people are luckily woke here. my voice is pretty deep, it probs dropped a whole octave and a half by now. but i also get gendered correctly b4 i even speak. and obviously all my friends tell me it doesnt matter what i wear, i pass anyways. so what do y’all think 🤸♂️
Hands are small for the cuffs I know 😭 but are the shoulders suppose to be that bulky? Also binding rn, $3 grab from a estate sale I’m 4’11
Hello, pre t 20y here. I am generally satisfied with the way I dress but my biggest clocks are undoubtedly my voice, mannerisms, attraction to other males, and face. Any quick facial changes I could make to appear more male? Last photo(car) was one I just snapped “candidly”
Last 3 pics are pictures other people have taken of me….
I’ve been passing in public since pre T pretty okayish, and It’s been way better on T, but I still feel like I’m not passing especially when I see pictures other people take of me nor do I look my age. I think my hair either makes or breaks me passing so if advice on styling/cuts would be awesome 🙏( I have naturally straight hair btw ) Advice on anything I could change?
Warning: talks of weight, hair loss.
20, FTM. i’m pre t. i haven’t even started transitioning yet. i mean, i’ve been out for 6 years, but i still go to work looking like a girl and with my dead name. it’s cus i’ve made some promise to myself to finally lose weight before i transition physically, cus my weight was ruining my health and has for a while.
i’m losing weight, exercising. i’m not quite to the weight i promised myself to then start T. this might sound strange, but this is the only way of disciplining myself to being healthy that’s working.
i’m just worried, because i have a very feminine face. like. small nose, lips. like.. big eyes. and my eyes are low on my forehead so i don’t even think a jawline would help. i have a small jaw, too. i have a big forehead. basically just round faced and feminine. i’m worried that when i start T, i’m just going to look (obvious???). even if i suddenly got big and muscular, still.
what are some passing tips? like, haircuts or anything. another thing, i already have very thin hair. when i start t im just going to look balding. what haircut would even help that.
sorry if this is triggering to anyone else going through this. i feel stuck and like i’ll never pass.
First image is newest. I’m a 16 y/o binary trans man, pre everything. Just need tips on how i can stop being misgendered everywhere I go, it’s tiring
\\\ I’ve posted this a few months ago because I had personally experienced some cis chasers dm’ing me and just today I saw another one of us post about it so here goes again.
I want to share a general reminder about safety, because I’ve noticed this sub includes a lot of minors and younger users, and this point is easy to miss.
Reddit is anonymous. You never fully know who you are interacting with behind a username, or what their background, age, or motivations may be. That does not mean most people here are acting in bad faith, but it does mean context matters.
Not all uncomfortable interactions are obvious or rude. Some comments can be technically polite while still feeling contextually inappropriate once you consider factors like age differences, experience gaps, or the setting in which the interaction is happening. Discomfort does not require a clear rule violation to be valid.
It is reasonable to click on a user’s profile before engaging, especially in advice threads. Post history can provide important context, and noticing something that feels off is enough reason to disengage. You do not owe anyone continued interaction simply because they are being civil.
It is also worth acknowledging that trans men are often misunderstood or sexualized, including within broader gay male spaces. While many interactions are harmless, not everyone engaging in trans-specific subs is necessarily trans themselves or engaging from the same place of lived experience.
Taking a moment to confirm who you are talking to, and whether their participation feels appropriate for the space, is a reasonable safety practice.
If something feels strange, confusing, or uncomfortable, it is okay to step back, block, or reach out to the moderators. Mods cannot see every interaction in real time, and flagging concerns helps them maintain the space.
This is not about accusing individuals or creating fear. It is about recognizing that online spaces require personal awareness, particularly for younger users. Being cautious is not the same as being suspicious, and trusting your instincts is part of staying safe.
Clarity, boundaries, and context awareness help keep this space supportive for everyone.
And with that, I wish all of you a very happy rest of the year!! Take good care yall!
