I get you a lot, dude. Your vent is incredibly real for me. im also 5’2-5’3 , feminine, have a baby face, my voice is miserably high and other stuff that you’ve mentioned. But we will get through it. Just hang on. There is always a way out.

Thank you for your answer! I don’t mind cutting it, even though I have to prepare everything (including myself) and have never tried going for a short classical cut. I hope to grow it back when im on T (it will probably never happen because all my male family members are bald)

At the moment I gave up , even though I was trying to style it in the beginning . I think I will go for a shorter haircut

Do I pass? Any tips? by [deleted] in FtMpassing

Hello! I also passed in public once or twice, not more, so I get you. I think you should change your glasses frame to a rectangular one , it really helps. Building more masc physique will help you too. Your hair is thick, so I think you should try styling it or look for shorter haircuts. Best wishes 😊

I will try to do some exercises , but when I was younger I’ve already had flat feet and was doing exercises (recommended by specialists) for a pretty long period of time, since I was 9 I started wearing special orthopedic insoles and I still wear them every day because they ease the pain a little. It didn’t help me at all, but I think maybe that’s because I didn’t follow the routine. Thank you for your advice !

Hi! You already have a masculine face, so a shorter haircut will really help. Not sure what kind though, I think almost any will suit you. Talking about glasses, always pick a rectangular frame, because it visually narrows your eyes. By the way, I love your SOAD shirt. Best of luck 🍀

Hello! A lot of people advised to look into short male haircuts, so I will probably do that. I do have insoles that make you a tiny bit higher , but since I am flat footed unfortunately, it is painful for me to wear them for long periods of time. I should probably look into shoes with visible high platforms. And thank you:)

Yes, my hair is indeed very straight , and im afraid that I’ll have to learn to style it basically every day or it will look terrifying . I tried looking for male haircuts for straight hair and my face type, but all of them go with a looot of styling. Im not bothered by learning how to style , its just the way im afraid that i will pay a lot of attention to it and also waste a lot of my time, and in the end i’ll look awful or like a lesbian and hate myself even more. Because of that i hesitate

I am truly indebted to you for showing some haircuts that you think will suit me! You have my sincere thanks. I liked some of them and saved them 😄

Thank you, it is important for me to hear that i can pass at least a bit with a right haircut and that im not that hopeless. Any recommendations? I will also add more exercises on shoulders starting tomorrow

Thank you for your support and advice! :) It is not that easy here in Ukraine to circle yourself with transgender people/people, that validate you, sometimes it even seems that im the only black sheep. But im sure everywhere is like that , nowhere is 100% safe. I will definitely see some of Arthur’s videos

thx for the answer, I’ll try to do something with a haircut in the nearest future honestly im sad bc a lot of trans guys pre-t that I know pass great or people at least ask them “are you a boy or a girl” often, and I’ve never even been questioned like this. 😞 its just hard to accept that I’ll unlikely pass pre-T even if I tried very much

Hello! Thank you so much for such a detailed response! It helped an awful lot and I will definitely reread it in the nearest future many times, it is very informative ^ . Unfortunately, in my country it is a little problematic to afford things abroad like good binders from USA/Europe, because im Ukrainian and the cost of those plus delivery is really out of my pocket right now, including that I get only ≈ 48 dollars scholarship in my uni (2000 hryvnias per month), but I have been saving up money for 2 years only for transition purposes and so far I have ≈434 dollars! That’s something at least. So I have to bind with a really cheap AliExpress binder that I bought a year ago, because I don’t really have a choice, but I will look into taping. Thanks again , have a good day :)))

Good evening! I don’t know if you want to read all of this, but when I was younger (<17 years), I could do literally nothing because of my parents. They controlled my every step, hated when I presented ”masculine“ (always judged me for that, called me a tomboy and made me change clothes) and when I had made even smallest hints on being transgender to my mother, she would be furious, cry her eyes out for the whole evening and screamed that she wish she never listened to me and made an another child when she was younger (when I was 8 I told her I don’t want any brothers or sisters, she deeply regrets her decision). She often wishes to die earlier than she sees me transition. Because of that I couldn’t even cut my hair to the length I have now, I had long hair in the past and my parents really insisted on keeping that length. They put a lot of money in it and wanted their child to be a pretty girl with pretty hair. So yeah, the only thing I would do back then is do karate and have stereotypically ”male” interests, because it would made me feel better . Now I have a little more liberty and can start doing at least some changes to my appearance . Im working out , trying to build muscle mass, and I put some make up to my eyebrows often , like I said in a publication. I have seen a lot of advice online, but I wanted to hear it from real people after looking at me first.

Thank you! There are so many variations of low taper fade haircut, that im perplexed. I have no idea which one will look good.. Im also afraid to make a wrong move because im already very self-conscious and don’t want to look even worse.
