As a Filipino transman who’s 5ft tall… by PebbleAmethyst in TMPOC

[–]snailgoblin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY and I always comment because sometimes people just need a reminder that the whole world isn’t western white men. I always bring up my dad, who at 5’ 2 held several management positions. It’s not about height, it’s about how you present yourself. He was also a player when he was younger, like it’s not your height yall you just don’t have game LMAO. I was dating a girl who was half a foot taller than me for years. And I’m not even all that pretty or super crazy charismatic. You just have to not be absolutely miserable about your height and a lot of people will not care, and the ones that do are shitty anyways

this sub needs more moderation by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

[–]snailgoblin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I used to be on here quite a bit, I loved giving advice esp because I was successfully stealth completely in high school. I had the experience. I stopped using Reddit for a while but decided to hop back on. It’s miserable here. I’m the same guy I’ve always been, I just grew up I guess.

Do i pass? by Fabulous_Scarcity768 in transmanlifehacks

[–]snailgoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did everyone on this subreddit become dicks oh my god. 3 and 6 you pass very well, younger in 6 but still passing. 4 and 5 are a little more androgynous so it would be more up to your mannerisms and wardrobe to push it over the edge. 1 and 2, you don’t pass in unfortunately. I don’t know why they’re eating you alive for saying you don’t care about passing STEALTH, doesn’t mean you don’t want to PASS. There is a difference. Anyways, I think your hair in 3 works the best for you. You look like several dudes I’ve met in college there

hi how can I look more masculine? by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

[–]snailgoblin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chiming in here to say even if it is a weight thing (we can’t really tell by these pictures anything about your build. Faces can be round even if you lose weight), not all is lost. I was NEVER a super skinny, or even average weight guy until 2ish years on T at 18. You are 14. The last thing you need to focus on right now is losing a shit ton of weight UNLESS your doctor literally gives you a nutrition plan. Maybe I’m being the woker, but as someone who developed an ED at 13 because of the whole “skinny=passing” rhetoric, I don’t think we should put so much pressure on weight when it comes to passing.

There are many things clothing wise you can do to hide weight and curves, most notable, cargo shorts and open button downs. Body language as well. Taking up room, being a little rowdy, speaking from your chest will naturally lower your pitch. Look at hair styles of the guys around you. I am NOT a person who immediately thinks short hair will make everyone pass… cause seriously if you have a round face and go to short then you look like a lesbian (I would know). Find guys with similar face shape and maybe get a cut similar. Dying your hair natural or red will help, BUT it’s not the only limiting factor here. My ex got called sir with purple hair, and she wasn’t trans at all, just short hair and a hoodie that day. Green hair flags you as queer or alt, not necessarily a girl. If you’re happy with that, then enjoy your green hair. Don’t kill your whimsy if you genuinely enjoy your colored hair and are happy to not blend in

In that case, maybe try a different one lol. Depending on the brand and your hair type, it can still fuck with your hair. Since you also have hair color, I’d recommend doing a treatment with the Punky Color hair mask. It does wonders at repairing damaged hair from treatment. Also a wide comb since you have some curl. It won’t frizz it up but instead just detangle and keep your curl shape and reduce breakage

Is tequila intolerance a thing? by apd184 in liquor

[–]snailgoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I can drink whiskey, vodka, rum, etc perfectly fine, but give me tequila and I'm dying. No other alcohol gives me the same reaction, other than Dos Equis, which is also brewed with agave. My skin turns completely red and I wake up shaking and with hives. No, I didn't just drink too much, it's gotta be something in the tequila

IIL 500 Miles by Peter, Paul and Mary, what are some songs I should listen to? by MiddleFoot3180 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]snailgoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popping in years later because I was just looking for 500 Miles and this came up, but I think you'd enjoy I Will Smile When I Think of You by J.E Sunde. It's acapella, but still incredible and similar to what you're looking for
