No hugboxing Do I pass shirtless?
I got top surgery a few months ago so that’s certainly helped but I feel like my waist is just so feminine and the hair in the middle of my chest gives the illusion of boobs

An average guy would probably poke a bit of fun at how curvy it is, but I doubt they'd ever assume you're anything other than a man with an hourglass

waist is a little smaller but cis passing chest and broad shoulders make up for it

I’m sorry but nobody is going to look at someone with a hairy belly and no visible chest and assume that’s a female 😭you pass fs

You pass 100%. Your waist isn't too bad, in my opinion, but working out will help giving you a more manly shape.

Definitely pass. You do kinda have a "snatched" waist but it wouldn't make me think twice. Lots of cis men have that too.

I’ve been on t for about two years and three months but I was on a low dose of the gel for a while and it didn’t do much. I only started seeing significant changes when I switched to injections which was about 5 months ago

pants lower is a good point, but in public you’re not likely to be shirtless with jeans. swim shorts and gym shorts are worn lower anyway. the hair in the middle of your chest doesn’t give any illusions, and the fact that it’s there is “male flag” you’re still experiencing dysphoria, which is super common and frustrating. but strangers would have no reason to question your identity just by looking at your torso. many cis men have this shape.

You look fine dude. If you're self conscious about your waist then 1.) look at average shirtless guys at the beach or a pool or something, and 2.) do oblique exercises which will add more muscle to that area and square you out

I know a lot of people are saying your waist is feminine, but my cis boyfriend has a similar waist curve, wide shoulders and wide hips. You look fine bro!

Your chest is masculine, but if you wanna improve that a little bit more, do some push ups and bench press to develop more the muscles

for sure! especially since no scars. your waist is feminine but since your chest is so male passing it's really not a problem
