r/FtMpassing

It hasnt hit me yet that this has happened but i know it will soon

Hi. Not out yet cause I go to quite a small UK conservative school. there are no other openly gay or trans students, and they aren’t very clear about their stance on the LGBT+ community. I used to be really underweight and anorexic (now realising that was a gender dysphoria thing) so please don’t tell me to loose weight/calorie deficit. But any other tips would be appreciated 🙏 (ps. My first binder i bought is arriving next week)

I know a belt was a risk, I put in on on purpose to see how I look "in the worst case scenario"

And by the way, how tall do I look?

(currently, I have ginger hair, not brown)

I know that dyed hair is usually not good for passing but I can't get it out yet

Should I keep the acne or get rid of it?

Would losing weight help?

Don't need to pass as a fully grown man, just male

How old do I look?

Taking any and all passing tips (and for looking older), no hugboxing + tell me anything that gives it away please

im tryin to do DIY hrt (dont comment on how bad it is) but i need more money fo it its lik 180 sum dollars , im not cutting my hair or dyin it all black , i do have a bigger chest n i wear two sports bras n a loose binder , its the best i have rn , i darken my mustache n eyebrows , n do voice training , i write my name on papers (Dead Name “Zavian” Last Name) , ive started goin to the gym n meal prepin , is there anything else i could to or is T js my last option??

For context: I’m 22 and stealth. Cis people, as well as a lot of people from different parts of the queer community, generally perceive me as a queer man / gay man. But never as a trans man.
However, I was recently at an event I had been invited to, and there was another trans guy there who was around early-to-mid transition.

He asked me if I was trans, which I denied, but it got me thinking: what exactly made him assume that?

It’s definitely not my voice. I’m actually in the fairly low range for male voices. Mannerisms might be a factor, I guess, but other than that, the only thing I can think of is my way of walking.
I naturally have fairly wide hips, and you can notice it a bit when I walk. Other than that, things like how I stand, sit, or move are pretty much all learned/intentional at this point and feel completely natural to me.

So I genuinely don’t know what he, and apparently some other trans people are picking up on.
What could make someone clock me as trans even though cis people generally don’t?

im a couple months on testosterone, but i kept at voice training anyway - though i fear it still reads as female

I get about 30/30/30 with she/her/maam, they/they/avoiding pronouns or he/him/sir from strangers, I have had a couple people (including the teenagers I work with who wouldn’t lie to me) say they thought I was a cis man at first. I recently started using the men’s bathroom because I was noticeably confusing women in the women’s room.. honestly just have no idea how people perceive me. 1.5 years on T, top surgery scheduled for December!

I’ve been trying to grow my facial hair out for a bit, bc if I’m clean shaven I get misgendered all the time and it was really getting to me.
But the way it’s growing in is a little bit patchy, and my vitiligo that is slowly spreading to my face isn’t helping that at all.
Any tips on how to make it look more managed?

I’ve been on T for almost 5 years. My hair is filling in super slowly on my cheeks- it’s like bleached white and very hard to see. I bring to this group.. honestly, does it come across as a chin/neck beard or does it look okay? I feel like it looks significantly better from the front than the sides.

I got top surgery about a month ago so I haven’t been able to work out at all and I feel like I’ve lost any upper body muscle mass I once had. I know I need to work out my arms and shoulders but how bad is it? Do my shoulders and hips and waist give me away?

16 year old on t for less than a day lol

ig i just look like an average 12 year old boy but i want to hear your honest opinion!!!

Any tips? Does this haircut help?

I pass maybe 2/10 times and it's all old people lol. My confidence has been really low lately so if I don't pass say that but also throw in a compliment if you're feeling up to it

Thank you all

First pic is me this year and second pic is me last year when I used to pass often. And before you ask no I’m not on T yet. I’m still in the process.

Just any tips on passing better would be appreciated!

Included a few different lengths of hair for reference, also glasses/ no glasses

Giving you all the possible cosmetic combinations lol
