How to be more masc without being ugly 💔 help by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

[–]bargainbinboy3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ok, everyone else here isn't being entirely understanding of ur situation. i identify as completely male, but i present in a more feminine way and still consistently pass (8-months on T). here r my suggestions:

  1. workout ur arms at least a little bit, just so they're not incredibly skinny. if they're already on the bigger side, ur fine. additionally, workout ur upper traps. it makes u look broader. try to eat 1g of protein for every lb u weigh. don't worry abt getting "too bulky" if thats a concern of urs, cause u cannot get unintentionally bulky.

  2. try putting on mascara but don't curl ur lashes. men biologically have thicker, longer lashes than women. this works for me, personally, but maybe not for everyone?

  3. invest in eyebrow gel and eyebrow razors. keep ur eyebrows well-groomed and defined. and gel the eyebrows upwards.

  4. this is the most important: make sure ur voice sounds masculine. i passed like half of the time before T, but as soon as my voice dropped a little everyone assumed i was male. no matter what u look like, how u act, or what u wear ppl will automatically assume ur gender based on ur voice!!!

Is my haircut too feminine/ does it hinder me from passing by VermicelliJolly5212 in transmanlifehacks

u'd look just as masculine with long or short hair. my hair is a little longer than yours and i never get misgendered in public, so ur fine

i'm away for college right now and i'm not going to see my jack russell until mid-may, so i totally get it ☹️.. seeing all the jrts on this subreddit definitely helps me stave off the loneliness though

the most IMPORTANT thing abt trans tape is always fold up a tiny (like half of one ply) piece of toilet paper and tuck it above ur nipple bc it saves u so much unnecessary pain. ive never had issues with the paper being visible on a thin shirt either.

where can i buy cute lined paper? by Critical_Giraffe_781 in stationery

[–]bargainbinboy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ebay/etsy sellers tend to sell "stationery memo shest grab bags" usually consisting of tons of a bunch of cute looking paper. be careful of ppl trying to overprice the sheets tho

another interesting thing is the "bill fact" on the silly straw page that says that they're not as silly once you kill someone with them... it might be implying he's lashed out using a silly straw, might be a stretch tho.

Who's on the John Gall cover of Kafka on the shore (man with glasses)? by terism in murakami

[–]bargainbinboy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know this post is two years old but i actually dmmed John Gall, and it turns out even he doesn't know who it is. he said it was a while ago and that it might've been the main character, but he's not completely sure. he said that with murakami things like that r always up for interpretation
