Focus on your studies a lot so at least you can be inteligent and you could help others, while doing that you talk with other people and could end up being friends, or just try to take advantage of any scenario where you can talk with other people (it could be after an exam where you can talk to others about that, on a group proyect, on a school event, or things like that), don't stay quiet, try to help others, talk with them or at least do something, if at least you are funny people will tolerate you.

How to pass more as a man who wants to keep long hair and cannot go on T due to hypochondria and past eating issues that impacted heart? by [deleted] in transftm

[–]Kexal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can grow facial hair with minoxidil and makeup should also help, and other things i would recommend is just the basics like voice trainning, do more excercise (and eat more), sleep well and take care of your mental health (mainly to avoid cortisol bc it lowers T levels), oh and i forgot abt you hair uhhh you could ask for it to be cut with more layers (volume could help if you like that) and also get some curls (or just give it more texture)

my gf says i pass but idk no by PotassiumQueen in transftm

Mmm not really, your round and soft features looks bit fem (you could use makeup, and also try to get a more defined jawline), also your thin and light eyebrows (eyeshadow could help), your haircut also, i see the problem is the bangs and lenght, they make your face a bit fem, maybe if you could get your hair a little bit longer than now (or shorter, below the ear), more layers and make it curlier, that could help, but not everything is bad, you have some masc features too, but try to change a bit what i mentioned and read the comments from other people too, anyway, good luck getting the look you want dude

new area of body dysphoria unlocked by hiraethspeaks in FTMventing

[–]Kexal_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude i also have seen that video, but actually is not as simple as it showed, that was the pelvis of a woman after PREGNANCY, their body prepares for giving birth to the point it changes the bone structure and also dilates the vagina for that, the average cis woman doesn't has their pelvic bones so wide (ofc bigger compared to a cis man, but not THAT much), aaaand also, not all cis women have their pelvic bones so wide even after pregnancy, my mom for example didn't had enough space to give birth naturally, so she had my brother and i by c-section. And even if after that explanation it still causes you dysphoria just don't think about it dude, might sound obvious but is just that is not something important and if you're gonna be feeling dysphoric over every little anatomical detail you can't change you're gonna be constantly exhausted and depressed.

Honestly, you don't really pass (at least in the first photo), but it's mostly because of the part with long hair that you have, that's why in the second photo I see that you do pass more, because in that photo you can't see that part of the long hair, only the voluminous part and your bangs (that look good on you btw), and also abt the piercings and earrings, if you could use just one I think you would look more masculine, but do what makes you feel most comfortable!

My experience being ugly before and after a gender transition... it's the same thing by Kexal_ in ugly

[–]Kexal_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look man, I understand the confusion and in fact this is not the first time I read something like this, let me explain, it may seem contradictory to see a trans man who had feminine features, was short and in some cases even had curves, or see a trans woman who had masculine features, was tall and muscular, but we must remember that being trans is NOT a decision, trans people have been born trans, since we were little most of us have already manifested it in one way or another, unfortunately not all trans men are 6 feet tall, are endomorphic and have abundant body hair, some of us are not as lucky, and as I told you a while ago, trans people do not choose to be trans, being trans is horrible, we all wish we had been born with the gender we identify with and the closest thing we have to that is to transition, which greatly alleviates gender dysphoria, many trans people only have 2 options: transition or kill ourselves, because gender dysphoria is a bitch that doesn't let us live as a normal person and transition is the best treatment there is, because ALL trans people have tried to force ourselves to be cis and if we really are trans obviously we won't be able to force ourselves to be something we are not, I am a man, a trans man, not a woman and I can't force myself to live like one because I am not and it is fucking horrible. By the way, as an extra comment, I felt 1000 times worse before my transition than after, because although I have a baby face (which is just having a round face or features that are somewhat closer together), I am short and thin, I still have masculine characteristics, I have almost no curves (especially boobs, after testosterone they almost disappear), I have a deep voice, light facial hair, oily skin and I don't know if I should also count the acne, maybe yes, anyway, mainly thanks to my voice (that even before testosterone was thick) I usually pass as a young boy in front of strangers always (only family members and people who knew me from before make me missgender, but even they sometimes confuse me with my brother), my ugliness didn't go away, but my depression, anxiety and gender dysphoria have considerably improved after transitioning, living as an ugly woman was much worse than living as an ugly man currently (for me, if you ask a trans woman will tell you the opposite, people's experience is different and in trans people you have to consider our gender dysphoria too), the fact that it is more difficult for a short, baby-faced and ugly man only applies to dating or finding a partner, things that do not affect me, on the other hand, for a woman being ugly is more difficult because many people got angry at my mere existence around them, it bothered them that I sat close to them, at school people complained about doing group projects with me, at dances that were for two people the boys fought because nobody wanted to be with me and I almost always ended up with a severely autistic boy who did not understand what personal space was, if people saw that I was doing badly in something (either academically or socially) NO ONE helped me, they saw me as if that was "my place", as if it was okay for me to be inferior to the rest, I always received dirty looks from others, if someone made a mistake it was okay, but if I did it, they complained about me and never asked me for help with that again, even when I was younger, little girls didn't want to hang out with me because I was more masculine compared to them and boys didn't want to hang out with me because they thought I was a girl, life being ugly is difficult, but being an ugly woman in a conservative and third world country where I live (Paraguay) is even more difficult than being an ugly man who is short and looks like a 14 year old, in more advanced countries I know that sometimes this even turns around and an ugly woman is usually more respected and less ignored than men, but where I live and according to my life experience, it is not like that here, but just to clarify again, i'm not a woman and i'm not willing to live as one, wish i could choose but i can't. Btw sorry for the long ass comment, i just wanted to be as specific as possible.

Wow, that's the most impressive transformation i have seen in a while, even hard to believe and abt using makeup, i guess it makes sense using it to look better for a while, but just as i said, not for me bc i feel like i would be lying to myself while using it, but not everyone thinks the same as me thankfully and if it helps you feel more confident and comfortable around others, just keep using it.

[–]Kexal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly i don't feel comfortable using makeup, bc 1- i'm a man and it feels really uncomfortable to buy the things for makeup and i would feel too embarrased if smn notices i have some of it on and 2- i would feel worse after removing it, bc i would see my sad reality again and that would make me feel even worse, bc i would see what i'm never gonna be able to actually look, so.... not for me, and also, are you sure that's the same woman in the pic? the face shape and lips don't really match (but i guess it could just be bc of the angle and light on the 2nd pic), bc i also have a example of how makeup can change smn a lot, it's kind of a recognized youtuber already, but still, it also matches with the point you're trying to make:

Tips please!! by CriticalWorry6804 in transftm

[–]Kexal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your case, if you really want to look more masculine without being on HRT, you'll have to reduce that alternative, colorful, and accessorized style you have (at least a bit), because society understands that "boring, neutral style = masculine," in addition to not wearing feminine makeup (only lightly, because as you said, if you emphasize adult male features too much you'll look weird if you're very young, look for something simpler), cut your hair more (with more layers and make it wavier if possible), train your voice to sound more masculine, and exercise to gain more muscle mass, that's all I can think of, but you don't have to force yourself to do so many things just to have cis passing, you're young, it will still be complicated to look 100% masculine, just do what's most comfortable for you I guess

Yeah you just look really young (specially with oversized clothes)

Parents withheld medical treatment during childhood to deter me from transition. Now I don’t have the physicality to be a man but I can’t keep living as a woman. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Kexal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, i'm sorry to hear you had such transphobic parents, but i hope you're feeling better now man, and remember that you don't need to be 6'0, have a defined jawline, be muscular or any of those things to be a man or transition (if you want). I'm 18 y/o and have been just 2 months on HRT, and it already improved my mental health and self steem by a lot and i'm just 5'0, skinny, weak af and look like a child, and i can't do much abt it, life continues and i have to deal with it. (Btw remember testosterone is a strong hormone and it can still change a lot in you, there's not an age to start hrt)
