How do I stop looking like a lesbian

So I got some advice and went to a hair stylist and asked for a mod cut and even specifically asked for a more angular shape but I feel like I’m just stuck looking like a lesbian. Besides hitting the gym, is there any advice that can help me relieve some dysphoria ?

Multiple questions on how to do things ^^

Hello there everyone I have a couple questions on looks ( clothing and makeup )

Is there any good eyeliner tips I’ve been looking on TikTok and what not but I’ve still been seriously struggling lol also is there any cheaper makeup items I could look into to expand my library of choices ?
2. Does anyone know any diy clothing that I could make from maler clothing ( so masc to fem ) or any clothing I could get that wouldn’t be too difficult for a trans girl to pull off ( I’m a regular ish weight maybe abit smaller ) but more so diy clothing I love making my own clothing articles it’s a lot of fun lol

Thank you very much !

Trans tape

I've been trans for about 4 years now and have been using a binder since. Today I got my first roll of trans tape but I'm genuinely confused on how to put it on. I've watched several videos and just can seem to get it right and it's super frustrating. Does anyone have any tips? :*(

Feeling conflicted

24 (AMAB, genderfluid) feeling a bit conflicted. So, I've been exploring my gender identity a lot since my wife (26, AFAB, cis) and I finally moved out of a bad situation back home to a far more welcoming area. My partner has known I'm queer since we were friends in high school, and known I'm genderfluid for a bit over a year. She has been very supportive throughout this whole process, and I'm very lucky in that regard.

I've always aligned a lot more with the "feminine" than the "masculine". I was raised by and around primarily women, and rarely felt comfortable being treated as "male", and as such I never really considered myself one. I was friends with mostly girls in school, and I was fascinated by feminity as a concept, and envious of all the pretty girls I saw in person or online, which was a feeling I mistook for something "sinful" due to my upbringing. Anyway, fast forward to early adulthood, where I'm married and dutifully playing the part of "man" in my rural, conservative community, albeit a "sensitive" one, as I have been characterized my whole life. I began, as it where, to imagine myself in everyday scenarios as a woman, and had such a rush of forbidden euphoria I couldn't even describe. Soon I began to crossdress in private, even at work on breaks in the bathroom since I had so little private time. All of this is to say, I have felt alienated in my own body and desperate to embody anything even remotely feminine. Now that I have health insurance, the support of my spouse, and the physical space/time to explore my identity, I naturally began to consider HRT. I had an appointment a couple days ago with a hormone specialist, and my spouse is pretty supportive, despite their general distrust of medicine (she was raised very crunchy), and we don't want biological kids. This is something I've dreamed of, something I've imagined for myself hundreds of times as I've scrolled through subreddits like Trans Timelines and the like. I work at a place with a bunch of a queer coworkers and a very inclusive culture, so that's not an issue. It's so available, so accessible, yet I don't know what to do. I feel paralyzed. I keep doubting my own dysphoria, looking at my own body in the mirror, all broad shoulders and perennial stubble and wonder what good it would even do. Then, on the flip side, I think "Oh well, dangling earrings and baggy clothes and pride pins and long hair is enough, I feel affirmed" even though I know that's not enough, and will never be enough. I'm just confused and afraid and too tired most days to even allow my dysphoria to rear it's ugly head too much. I know the solution is obvious, but I'm just lost. Thanks for reading.
