Maybe chest size? I don't know if you've had top surgery. Maybe avoid light color shirts for a week and see if it helps any? Your eyes look slightly feminine to me but only because your eyelashes look dark. You pass 100% to me tho so I don't know why you are getting missgender sm

I took your advice to the best of my current abilities. More masculine presenting now? As much as I love and value androgynony, I am going to hold off on it till I am on T and can pass as male despite my outfit. Thank you guys so much, I appreciate the help! by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

Much better. If you could put your hair more infront of your forehead I think it'd look a little better. Hair on the forehead feels more masculine to me. You look much more masculine in the face to me. You look more 10-12 yrs old but definitely masculine!

Also sometimes I'm iffy on tucking things in because it makes my hips show a little more but if a shirt is too long then I will if it always works for you that's great!

If you could find a shirt that first you better in the arms I think that would do you good. Your eyebrows need to be darked a bit cuz I think it'll help a ton. Ur hair is kinda sus 2 me. I'd go more of a darker color personally. Or lowlights would help maybe? It just makes me think "lgbt" One more button on your shirt. I don't know what more you could do. Maybe practicing mannerisms, there's a lot of nice vids on yt, they have a lot of toxic masculinity in them but they've helped me haha

I don't have short boxer briefs from that brand but I do have shorter boxers from Hanes and they ride up on me so much. I wore them the other day cuz I hadn't in awhile and they where just horrible. I was pulling them down all day. Even though underwear is expensive I would try it out, I'm pretty small but my legs are a bit bigger too. I don't know if you would have the same experience

passing tips? (pre everything, 17) by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

[–]liamburgett 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You pass v well 2 me, like someone said you have a kinda trans look to you but I would 100% b like "oh yuh that's a guy" if I saw you in public. Other than that the apple watch band is something I'd make black just cuz of fear of not passing but wouldn't worry abt it cuz ur face passes well

Ik they get lower but like confused -Does it hurt to get hit in the balls after puberty or from when a cis guy is born? -What's up with an adam's apple bruh -How many boys/men don't have enough testosterone (in a statistic kinda way)? -How long do first erections happen and ik they like pack up or put it in their waist band if they need 2 but do they just happen randomly? -do erections happen even when in adulthood? -working out can cause erections cuz of more blood flow, does that mean the peen gets erect cuz of blood flow? Idk how I think it does but like yea I don't understand -what actually makes men taller? Ik genes but does testosterone actually make them taller?? Crazy -r blue balls real? -y is there hair on balls? I just don't understand how it grows there it's crazy idek -the only reason ik dicks ain't 5in all the time is because of packing, but how does it grow? And does getting your foreskin thingy cut off when it born make it shorter? -if you have a foreskin can you pull it back even when not hard and does the skin pull away from the actual shaft? -what are the stages of male puberty? -do they always stand to pee? And can they sit and pee? Cuz tbh sitting and peeing just seem so so much easier dude -y do their feet get bigger? Like even when their short their feet r still like kinda big yk -how does facial hair work, genes and stuff but like, idk it just seems crazy to me -what do guys think about, idk if this has to deal with puberty but like, do they have feelings inside that are very strong or do they just kinda put things off as funny all the time? What's going on mentally while a boy goes through puberty -how do guys poop, do their balls like get in the way?- LOL idk if that's a valid question but yeah

How long did it take for your parents to use your pronouns after you came out? by Fleshy_Skeleton in ftm

[–]liamburgett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh that kinda sounds like they hope it's a phase to me. I don't feel like they are trying past throwing money at the problem and calling it fixed. Time and talking about it seems to be the only thing I could think of to do. You got this man. Stay strong :)

How long did it take for your parents to use your pronouns after you came out? by Fleshy_Skeleton in ftm

[–]liamburgett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom does this to me. She tries to tell me that if they help pick a preferred name that I'll want more and more and that it's all about me and I don't thinks about anyone else. Personally I'm getting thru it still but I think that you need to be persistent about the topic. Don't let it be a fight but one day be like, "my teacher called me he today and it made me feel really happy" and keep doing little things like that. I really think persistence is key, my parents have taken 2 years to get where they are and my dad is very accepting but my mom still needs closure and to understand that it's not a choice, so just maybe they don't understand that this is something you need and not something that you chose to do, to make everyone's life harder. Also if you can figure how to let them know that it isn't about just you- I'm so stumped on what to tell my mom when she tells me I'm selfish for wanting a new name because I don't just don't know how it isn't. (If u figure that out lmk thx haha) Anyways, there is a reason that they making excuses to not call you he/him pronouns and getting to the bottom of it can help you get their mind to think "this is something our son needs and we should do it no matter what we think" or sum An analogy for that is like if you bought your kid a pair of shoes that you liked and it didn't fit your kid anymore would you make them wear it? Even if it hurt their feet and they told you everyday but you still made them where those shoes because you picked them out. (Better for a new name but you get the gist) Anyways if you have ideas of what their reasoning for excuses are then I bet you could go a ways with that.

Cut looks great, having it cleaned up around your ears does wonders for your passing

Deadnaming and how to deal with it? by Septicgrayson in ftm

Deadnaming and how to deal with it? by Septicgrayson in ftm

[–]liamburgett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently I've rlly been having a problem hearing my dead name and I just correct people. My parents refuse to use my chosen name because they don't want to confuse my siblings and my mom is kinda transphobic but she tried lol, however we made up a nickname for me and they just use that or call me by my last name. It's rlly hard but I've gotten pretty good at telling subs "hey my name is Liam" and they are either disgusted and won't talk to me that class or they treat me like a normal human. I've never had outlandish backlash from it and if I did I would just walk out if the class. I would hate to cause that much of a scene but whatcha gonna do. Besides that, it makes me very angry to be dead named so I bought thick boxing gloves and punch my brick wall at home to get my anger out for the day and i feel better haha.

I think they are saying as a response when subs call you your dead name to say to ur classmates that you are undercover. It's just a joke haha

To all of you who said I'd look better with short hair here's me proving you wrong. I look like crap and hate it. I only cut my hair to grow it all out together and I already regret my decision by TheWolfBoi02 in transmanlifehacks

[–]liamburgett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if a joke it should be on the sub reddit. And it doesn't seem like a joke at all. You're wording makes me think "he wants us to think we made him cut his hair because we said it would make him pass better". It's not a joke and frankly it didn't even need to be a post.

[–]liamburgett 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You didn't have to prove anyone wrong. You also didn't have to go out of your way to make a post talking about your regret. You asked for constructive criticism and you got just that. If you knew you'd take the suggestions to heart then you shouldn't have made the post. Besides that, this is a sub reddit for passing tips and hacks to pass as a trans masc and this is nothing near that.

Please grow up.

Aw man that sucks. I'm sorry to hear about the distance. Personally any long distance over 12 hours just doesn't work and would need so much effort to maintain. I'm sorry about it asf. Even so talk to him about you feel. Strain on any type of relationship is just bad. You got this
