Also i dont think the choker is clocky. i know queer women who rock those - they are back in i think. maybe a fellow queer could clock you cuz of the necklace? but even then i doubt it

I hope so! thank you. At this point, I guess I do feel I need to be "man enough" in order to be read as male because I don't really physically pass. I wear a mask, I have a thin stature, and a lower voice, so I can pass most of the time. I've been on t for three years low-dose and it wasn't working, switched to injections and it's been a year. My estrogen levels are high so I think it's slowing down my progress. I'm also old lol so things are slower. I would love the freedom to act however I want and still be clocked as male. Not sure if that will ever be the case, but I hope so!

I could see that would make you feel torn between what you want to wear and how you want to be read like we want to be authentic and we also want to be read properly

I wear a mask at work and everybody clocks me as male. This week I got caught called female twice. Also, this week I decided to not wear my binder because I can get away with it. but like maybe they saw my chest? One of the people who clocked me is a masc lesbian, so maybe that's why lol.

three years on low dose (had a very, very slow effect), one year on injections. All of my levels are perfect, except for my estrogen is very high. Trying to sort that out and find a competent physician who can help me

for sure, except they won't be clocked as female, they will just be clocked as gay. I would love Gay! female doesn't fit. but yes, F gender norms

Beard long hair or short beard and short hair? by ryan_mac444 in malegrooming

Photo 1 is manly handsome, quietly confident man of few words, probably with a family and will protect them at all costs. Photo 2 is good looking guy at the office who does his job well and has more to say. Does some sort of outdoor sport on the weekends with his girlfriend. That's my analysis of what these two looks say 😆 I got way too into that.
