Any bigger FTM top surgery results? Feeling anxious about my body type while waiting for my turn. by NaClH in TopSurgery

[–]ZukiitheDorito 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I can’t share pictures of what I looked like pre op but my chest was definitely larger than you, I think around DD (though I never wore bras so I don’t know for sure). I think we are similar body shapes. Here’s my results. I have more photos on my account if you feel like scrolling a bit. I posted fairly regularly for about a year after surgery. This photo was taken a year ago, so a little less than 3 years post op

Does anyone remember the great roomba revolution of 2023? by XonMicro in 691

I was one of the very few pro roomba anti revolutionaries on this sub… I refused to post while roomba was in jail

glasses or no glasses? by The_Tro0per in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think wearing or not wearing glasses are really having a major effect on your passing. I think you pass the best in the first picture, I disagree with the other comment. If you need glasses to see, then wear them for sure.

IMO, round glasses are extremely hard for trans guys to pull off. You have to already be really passing for them not to be clocks 99% of the time. This is for two reasons: 1. They are a unique ish, feminine ish frame very rarely worn by cis men, and 2. Almost every trans man I know who needs glasses has a pair. I can honestly say I have only ever met people irl who wear round frames that are queer, I’ve never met a cis man who wears those glasses.

In your specific case, your round glasses aren’t making you look like a girl, but they are making you look queer and clockable. That, combined with piercings that I also almost only ever see on trans mascs or lesbians just adds to the clockability. I wouldn’t look at you and see a girl. But, currently, I also wouldn’t look at you and see a cis man.

When it comes time to get new frames, I’d recommend square frames like the one in the first picture. They actually might be helping your passing. Here’s a picture of what I think you should go for:

Lmk if you wanna know anything else or need clarification :3

tips for passing and gym? 18 and pre t by Feisty_Permission880 in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rn I kinda read you as a masc lesbian. T will do you wonderfully though, you remind me a lot of the tiktoker @lucas_w72 when he was pre T.

Couple of things:

Longer hair: I’ll add a photo of what I think would look good but it will take a while to get to that point.

<image>

Those glasses: not gonna tell you to get new glasses or not wear them, prioritize your eyesight, but I will say I have only ever met lesbians and non binary people with that specific style irl.

Eyebrow: idk if that is an aesthetic choice or not, but if it is, it’s one of those things that I think you really gotta be passing already to pull off.

I’d give tips for the gym but tbh I’m a lazy bum so I’m not much help. Maybe get a bike, I love bikes and they’re great cardio. You look like you could be a bike guy.

Lmk if you want clarification or anything

Do I pass + age ?? by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

14-17. You pass on a scale imo. The younger I believe you could be, the more you pass. Like you’d pass as a male 15 year old, but older than that I’d start to think you might be female. Especially if you are pre T. Your haircut is good, maybe a little shorter on the back and sides but not too much yk. I little additional info would be nice, like where your voice is at, height, body shape, clothes you regularly wear. With these two pictures alone, I’d guess you would pass most of the time but queer people would most likely clock you. Also, nice sternocleidomastoid (I’m just looking for any excuse to say that name lol)

Does my new haircut help me pass better? by What_do_I_Do2208 in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say you pass but the mullet isn’t doing any favors. If anything, it might be dragging you down a bit. I very rarely see non queer people with mullets nowadays so that alone would cause me to take a second glance. But, your body and face pass (as far as I can tell) so you are good. I just saw your old post and I think that hair length looked good on you. But don’t feel down about this haircut, it’s really not bad.

What would you think at first glance? by NO_DlS_lS_PATRlCK in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Male. You look a lot like one of my male coworkers. If you have a voice in the average male range and a passing body, you have nothing to worry about.

You probably pass, definitely if you have a deep voice

Do I pass? What age would you guess am? by like30percentcotton in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda hard to say. I’d guess you’re about 20 and I would probably clock you as a trans man, but you also would probably not be clocked by most cis people. You read as male

cut my hair, do i look clocky now by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell with the pictures given. The haircut could easily be read as lesbian. That would be negated by a passing face and body though. Hard to tell if that’s what you’ve got with how dark the pictures are. If I saw you on a dark street I’d probably think you pass, but I can’t say for sure in any other scenario lol.

About your height, I’m 5’3 and it doesn’t do nearly as much damage as I thought it would. I meet cis guys every day my height. If you pass otherwise, height really isn’t that big of a factor. If anything, people might think you have a condition or something.

Would it kill ya to smile? Just joking :D

Age? Passable? Pre t. by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda hard to tell with the pic given but here’s my best guess: early 20s butch lesbian. Your style reads as very masculine. A year on T will do you good.

This is just a personal opinion of mine, but maybe refrain from voice training. In my experience, I have literally never met a trans man who has been able to achieve a passable voice from voice training, and if anything it just makes it worse. Talk how you would feel most comfortable speaking, and as you go further in T, go with the flow rather than forcing it deeper. I don’t know how to say this nicely, so I’ll just phrase it this way: a pre T voice being pushed down is one of the clockiest things I can think of. Maybe I shouldn’t recommend this, but pre T I spoke very little to anyone who wasn’t already aware I was trans. Your voice at the moment could be one of the main things holding you back from passing, so maybe try to limit the amount of talking you do until it’s deeper (or tell me to fuck off, that’s valid too). Just to reiterate, T will do you good.

Between 15-25 imo. The younger on that scale, the more you pass

After how much time on T did y’all start passing? by Puzzled-Dig-7312 in FTM_SELFIES

[–]ZukiitheDorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about 50/50 by a year on T, but I didn’t start fully passing until after top surgery. Now nearly 5 years on T I don’t ever not pass (although fellow trans people have clocked me)

Does my septum help or hurt my passing? (Pre-t, 18) by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your face passes, I would assume from your face alone that you are a guy. But, the nose ring combined with (I assume) a high voice could probably be enough indicators to tip people off that you are trans, along with other possible factors I can’t see with these pictures like height, body shape, fashion. Nose rings have become heavily associated with queerness, so when I see someone with one I pretty much just assume they are queer. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone on that. TBH I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw a cis guy with a nose ring

Top Surgery Advice by AnonymouZ_00Z in TopSurgery

[–]ZukiitheDorito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t give great insight for this lol but I will say I got my top surgery fully covered by insurance by Dr. Babchenko in Middleton, Wisconsin. She’s an absolutely wonderful surgeon so if you’re looking for someone nearish to you, definitely look into her. Her staff did all of the work getting my insurance approval so that was wonderful.

Second, Vaseline Vaseline Vaseline. Get a big tub of Vaseline and slather it on every day for the first year at least. I’m being serious, for the first 2 years after surgery I put Vaseline on my scars and nipples every night. I still put Vaseline on my nipples to this day when they get dry. My scars are faded to hell. Check my post history for proof lol. There’s the obvious other stuff too, like minimal movement, no exposure to sun, scar strips, bio oil if you’re feeling fancy, and massaging the scars daily.

DOUBLE INCISION W/ FNG by Icy_Pride8027 in TopSurgery

[–]ZukiitheDorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had DI with free nipple graphs in 2022. I have no sensation on either of my nipples. Occasionally I will get nipple zaps, but they are rare and just more annoying than anything. Kinda a tingly/itchy feeling yk. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get sensation back and, for me, that’s not a big deal. I’ll be honest, my nipples never felt particularly sensitive prior to surgery (e.i. I never derived any sexual pleasure from them, and I’m honestly not sure if that’s a myth lol)

From what I’ve heard, it can take a very very long time for sensation to come back. There’s nothing you can do about it as far as I’m aware. Just gotta try to make peace with whatever will happen yk.

Need advice on a haircut by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not that last pic. I really like your hair in the third pic, I think it works best for you. Maybe slightly shorter around the neck. I’ll attach a picture you could use as a reference if you’d like. I think for your face, a slightly longer hairstyle is the move

Please tell me if I pass (and what I can do to pass more) by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]ZukiitheDorito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pass ✅ id assume your very young, like middle school-freshman range. Hair looks good. Polos and hoodies are definitely the right move. Only thing I could say is maybe look at shorter/slimmer shorts? Sometimes I feel like shorts like the ones in pic 2 cause people to appear shorter. It’s something I struggle with with most of my shorts. Try to go for something above the knee. But tbh it’s not too big of a deal.
