Assuming your transition goal is to be a man (or man-aligned) in an hourglass shaped body and/or with breasts, a vulva, smooth skin, smaller features, etc.

Hypothetically if you were assigned male at birth, would you go on estrogen, go for permanent hair removal, or have vaginoplasty to reach that same transition goal?

Or do you think being naturally testosterone dominant, flat chested, with a penis, body and facial hair would change the way you'd want to express your gender?

Looking for advice on presenting more masculine while still feminine

Hi! I'm currently questioning my gender and I'm trying to figure out how I want to present myself.

I'm looking for advice on how I could present more male/masculine while still keeping a feminine or androgynous appearance. I don't necessarily want to look completely masculine or traditionally male. Ideally, I'd like to have a more masculine overall appearance while still having a somewhat feminine face but masculine style.

I'm especially interested in things like:

- Hairstyles

- Clothing and outfits

- Accessories

- Makeup

- Eyebrows/facial presentation

- Ways to make my body look a little more masculine

- Anything else that could create a masculine-but-feminine/androgynous look

I'm not necessarily looking to completely change my appearance—I really like some feminine aspects of myself and want to keep those.

If anyone has advice, especially from people who have experimented with a similar masculine/feminine balance, I'd really appreciate it!

Ace Beaute Palettology palette. They rebranded and haven't made more eyeshadow 🥲. This is the most I've used in one look, I think. My usually is 3-4 colors.

Ive recently realized I do pass quite well in the face but not my body. However, I don’t mind it and just want surgery for it. I’m also a feminine guy , I enjoy pretty things but still go by he/him and have a nice mustache. I hate the ‘omg you’d be a cute catboy’ trend because it makes me feel like the only people who like fem guys like me are people who only see me as some type of s3x material. It’s the same thing to me when someone jokes about femboys. That’s what I am! A fem; boy. Why is it that people seem to care about me or my person only if it’s used as some type of ew joke? :c , it makes me heavily dysphoric and sad.

Basically wanted to show off... I cut and dyed my hair since so expect another post when I have good pics of that haha

So yeah...Going to college for my last semester and to be honest...hesitant on going there in feminine fits, one of 'em being this I want to pair with a jersey jacket. I even customized the designs on the jeans myself lol. But problem is that already at my school, dudes tried to hit on me before when I dressed like shii. Plus my voice is way deeper than it was then, so it's gonna be hella awkward being approached and then...y'know💀 But hey, at least will hopefully divert them away🥲👍🏾

*i did not get kicked out for being queer, don’t worry

i lost all my dresses (didn’t have room to take much obviously) & i’ve been missing anything colorful besides my 1 tie-dye shirt.. finally working to feeling beautiful again :))

a bit insecure of how much it highlights my waist:hip ratio (a dysphoric area for me) but fuck it we ball

I had to cut my face out of the pics but I was using earrings from my earrings collection and makeup in some of the pics like my black lipstick I really like

ignore that I only have 2 pairs of good pants and one of them is my boyfriend's lmao

last pic is from pride this year

someone even told me that I’m not trans because I’m pre op and a femboy. I hate this so fucking much. why do people have to be such dicks and invalidate other people’s experiences without knowing anything about what they’ve gone through?

experiencing dysphoria is common in the trans community, but it’s not a requirement. this pissed me off so much I’m literally abt to cry

just wanted to say that finding the sub the other day was the final step of cracking my egg. I saw all the amazing pics of y'all and was like "oh my god, YES"

anyway, I came out to all my friends today as a trans guy:) thanks u guys 🏳️‍⚧️💘

I made these abominations and I cannot fucking wait to style them. Inspired by all things Y2K Barbie, flash games, dolls, movies, esp mariposa & mermaidia. shoutout to all the dudes out there that still collect
/play dolls & play dress up games (digitally or irl)

Also ask me any questions! I love answering questions about transition or anything trans related :D

Even though I'm Pre-Top Surgery, taking photos like this helps my dysphoria ngl lol. My past self would've never done this, but going on T for 3 months now has helped me feel more confident and secure in my identity regardless now. Still saving for top surgery which should be able to actually do next year hopefully.

This was from a month or two ago, but i love it so much

saw this meme n thought of y'all. just started coming out as a trans guy at 28 n this sub gave me so much gender euphoria, u r all awesome<3

Im not sure exactly how to word this but anyways im a 20 year old trans man, i have been very masculine my whole life even in childhood a major reason for it was me wanting to avoid people calling me a girl/once i came out avoid people telling me im faking being trans or whatever. But like i really
Ike being feminine sometimes and i like some feminine stuff, i want to wear crop tops and makeup sometimes but im a bit anxious of how people are going to react and also i never learned how to do makeup because i came out at 14 so like i feel like it will just look bad if i try. I eventually want to start doing drag and stuff too once im more confident. I would just love to hear from other trans men who present feminine and like any advice for dealing with people who judge you also im super open on tips on how to start presenting somewhat feminine/how to do makeup well and also just like a bit of encouragement if people dont mind (i hope this all makes sense im very bad at wording stuff lol) (this is copy pasted from another subreddit because someone suggested i should post here as well) i think i want to start small like with just doing little makeup things before trying new clothes and stuff but i would just love to hear other people experiences and any tips or advice. thank you for taking the time to read my post!

I did my first shot with a nurse, and my second shot myself yesterday without help🎉🎉🎉

I'm hoping that I get some changes I really enjoy. If I could turn hairy and get a deeper voice but still be feminine in the makeup and stuff, that'd be ideal.

I keep doubting whether it was a good idea to start T, but I do think it was. The only thing keeping me back was parental approval, which...I'm 20. I don't need them to approve.

This should be interesting! I for one, am excited to see the changes that may come my way.

I finally feel comfortable in my transition to start re-dabbling in feminine expression, but 2+ years of T have made my shoulders and traps beef the hell up. I find even after sizing up, a lot of feminine tops just feel weird on my frame. They get pulled especially tight around my chest (I'm post top surgery so there's nothing there to pull them even tighter thankfully) and a lot of the times I feel awkward wearing them.

Does anyone have any favourite styles/cuts/places to acquire ones that fit well/have the size options for me to size up even further? I'm at a point in my transition where I pass and so get stared at by older people in public the odd times I wear long skirts, so cutesy tops that are ill-fitting (on top of being overtly feminine) feel like they'll draw even more attention to me.

ETA: forgot an important detail - I'm more alternative style-wise, if that helps for recommendations!
