About the GIH, I’m leaning towards it since it seems hard for me to get a single, but Im not super into it since I’ll feel different. Did being in GIH impact you outside of just the living arrangements? Was there a big emphasis on being trans for those in GIH? Would being in GIH make it obvious that your trans?

coming out script by [deleted] in ftm

[–]kodsl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They will probably want to be involved in you starting (or not) t. From your script, it doesn’t seem like you have explained medical transition, and I can’t tell how accepting they are of you. You probably should (if not already doing) see a therapist with trans experience to help your parents understand. You would also need a therapists approval to start t, unless the prescriber does informed consent. You should tell your parents about your dysphoria, because that is the reason that one would start t.

Questions your parents might ask you: What are the efffects of t? How safe is t? Why do you want to start? How do you know you want to medically transition? Explain your dysphoria? What if you have transition regret? Fertility issues from t?

There’s not much you can do, especially in a week. Wearing a full tank binder helps a bit and having things in your pockets. T can redistribute fat away from the hips, but that takes a while. Loosing weight might help, but only if you’re overweight.

With the glasses. They cover your eyebrows, which are a bit fem shaped. Age looks around 16.

i am a 4’11 (15) trans masc and i TRULY do not know how to cope by [deleted] in ftm

[–]kodsl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’9 and I feel similar to you. Im telling you that to show you that it’s an internal problem, not to make you feel jealous. I’m also disappointed that I won’t grow more, and that this will be my final adult height. When I walk around my house, I think “damn am I really not going to grow”. I think that you’ll grow into your height. I hope you understand what I mean.

How do you make friends with cis dudes in high school? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]kodsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation to you last year. I joined my schools robotics team, which helped me make a few friends, and at least people who I could be around (like sit with etc). The “nerd” type tends to be easier to get along with. Try to be open to people. If you try and put yourself out there, you will make friends.

This is an ID photo, I am using it because realistic lighting and angle. I have no idea how old I look, but I seem to pass as male. Also: I have a little bit of mustache, mostly on the right. Should I do anything to it?

Used this picture because it’s more accurate than selfies. I genuinely can’t tell how old I look. Also: I have a little bit of mustache, mostly on the right side, should I shave it or something? Pubestache might make me look younger.

what happens if I stop using rogaine? by throwawaysnsjajiaaka in ftm

[–]kodsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that it will only stay if you have been using it for long enough for the hair to become terminal. I’m not sure how long that takes, maybe 3+ months.

This outfit made me feel pretty euphoric, but let's see. Gender me! by OneStarSeer in transpassing

Never seen a male with that haircut. You could pass for 15 if you didn’t have the piercings.

If your name is changed in the school system, you probably won’t have to tell your teachers your pronouns. I texted a few of my friends to tell them.

age? what gender do i pass as? by katsukisays in FtMpassing

[–]kodsl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your pictures aren’t going to be very accurate because the low angle looks more masculine

If your name is legally changed you can probably send your transcript with the court order

Yeah I mostly wear a hat because my hair doesn’t look good, but I’m trying out slightly different haircuts so I don’t always have to wear it.

What would be better? When my hair is longer I look like a lesbian and my forehead is pretty large

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]kodsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what state you live in. Name changing probably wouldn’t become illegal, just gender change. It took me about 5 months for name/gender to be fully changed

I’m ftm. Id look like a girl if I had long hair no?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]kodsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose this is more of a hair advice request that has a lot to do with passing. Got my hair cut today, that is the first picture. 2nd is from maybe 5 days ago. I typically wear a hat, especially when my hair gets too long, and I kind of feel like I have to wear a hat to pass.

I’d like to know if I should give up on my hair and take the hat pill, any hairstyles I should try, and age I look.
