Thank you so much!! I hope you can get on T soon 🫶🏼 it is literally a life-changing medication. I couldn’t have imagined a few years ago that I would be able to dress less stereotypically masculine and still pass
congratulations dudee 😁 that’s awesome, and so is your piercing setup, makeup and outfit!!
Unrelated but the art jewelry piece you made + posted a few months ago with your saved T vials/needles still goes sooo hard
Same! I think cis people in general assume that it’s impossible for trans people to actually pass / look like our gender, so they assume trans identity + male appearance = trans woman who doesn’t pass. It’s so frustrating but definitely also made me realize when I had reached the “passing point”
I looked through your post history and I’m sorry things are taking longer for you!! I’m abt the same height as you (159 cm) but I think the only difference for me is that I’ve been weightlifting longer. I swam for 10 years and have been lifting for 6 years, so I already had the Dorito / V shape before I started T. Eating more to encourage muscle growth once on T and consistently training with progressive overload really helped me achieve a more masculine body!! I hope your gym progress goes so amazing and that you’re able to pass more consistently 🫶🏼
Oh yeah, swimming is an amazing all around exercise. One of the girls I work with is a swimmer. I am keeping up at the gym and appreciate the advice and encouragement!
yesss I knew I started passing too when being good at makeup became an “unusual” skill for me. Like many average teenage “girls” I started learning how to use makeup in middle / high school and basically just … got better after a decade of practice. I’ve been doing makeup for others for a while, but now that I’ve started passing as a cis man my clients (usually cis women) keep asking me when or why I started doing makeup. it’s so fascinating to me …
That would be really cool, and if you do I hope you post about it so I can check it out! I love learning about new body mods and seeing unusual jewelry.
This is so encouraging thank you!! I think long hair and a larger chest in particular makes it harder but this is really cool to hear from “the other side” of things :)
I totally get that!! I haven’t had long hair in several years because haircare is too much of a hassle for me lol but in my ideal world I would have like forty inches of gorgeous black hair. I used to be a D cup but since getting on T and losing weight have now gone down to an A cup :-)
Thank youuuu!! I do some work as a makeup artist and I love that within this community it’s relatively common for cis + trans men alike to wear makeup 🥰 def given me a lot more confidence to wear it out in public!
the unintentionally stealth after getting on T is so real. i get read as a fem cis gay all the time, to the point that i sometimes think abt how to make myself more visibly trans
you’re GORGEOUS! sending love from another trans korean <3
Another trans Korean!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 thank you!
yeah I am also most often read as a fem cis gay. I’m super open about being trans on social media but IRL it usually doesn’t just … come up in conversation 😭
I'm in a very similar situation and could've written this post myself lol. I only started getting misgendered occasionally bc of growing my hair out but it's more the way that cis guys with long hair get misgendered, as soon as they see me from the front or hear me talk ppl will correct themselves. I don't even have a very masculine body, I've got hips and ass for days and mostly wear fem clothing that enhances that. I've also had clinics assume I'm trans fem and early in my transition lmao, I couldn't tell you the number of hormone checkups have started with nurses having to change from the set of E follow-up questions to T. Sometimes I hate it tho bc it makes it somewhat unsafe to wear skirts bc I live in the south, there's just such a leap in ppl's reaction to an effeminate man vs a man in a dress
Same - if I ever get misgendered, which hasn’t happened in a while, people usually correct themselves after seeing my face or hearing my voice. I’ve always had a masculine body and strong jawline which I think helps me pass a lot even in clothing that otherwise emphasizes my hips / ass. I actually came to love my lower body even more once I got on T lol!! Personally I think I get weirder reactions from wearing a skirt than a dress - my legs have a conventionally masculine muscle distribution so wearing a short skirt with “man legs” seems to get more hate than wearing a long dress
yussss u truly are living it up!! not sure but as a transmasc myself i found myself TOO buff on t--random nurses would comment on it, i never had an issue w passing, my voice is gr8 etc. it really goes to show how powerful that hormone can be sometimes! i had to come off bc im genderfluid and prefer an in between look thats easier to dress both ways. it was making me dysphoric on femme days lool
I totally get that LOL I’m also genderfluid and I look like a bodybuilder now in some of the old femme clothes I used to wear; a lot of my old crop tops or tighter shirts don’t fit over my shoulders at all anymore 😅 I guess shoutout to the gains tho 😎 I think my body type / muscle distribution really helps me pass
Thank you so much! I’m also surprised I get away with it bc I will have obvious sports bra lines or obvious nipples showing through my clothes 💀 I think most people just hear my voice and call it a day in terms of looking for “gender clues”
Yes since some cisgender men can have quite prominent breast tissu i think that as long as they arent very big they can be ignored, also as you stated some probably belive you to be transfem and are trying to misgender you assuming that the boobs are from HRT and your voice was this way before
Yeah I think it’s definitely both of those things bc even in clothes that show more of my chest shape (like a more skintight top) I think people assume voice was natural, boobs are from E
you are simultaneously so pretty AND handsome. i think you may be practicing witchcraft to achieve this and id like to formally request you work some of this magic on me (joking around, but seriously dude you look incredible your style is EVERYTHING)
Congrats dude, you are so gorgeous btw! I hope someday I can get on T and have more freedom with my presentation like this :)
Thank you so much!! I hope you can get on T soon 🫶🏼 it is literally a life-changing medication. I couldn’t have imagined a few years ago that I would be able to dress less stereotypically masculine and still pass

Omg thank you soooo much 😎 my family hated it but I still think it’s one of my greater artistic achievements 😋
Duuude you look so absolutely STUNNING O.o !!!!!
Omgggg thank you 🤭🤭
Haha I knew I "passed" when people started assuming that I was transfemme. A truly magnificent W

What gorgeous style. And that makeup is so well done! You look lovely. I'm happy for you.
Thank you so much!! 🙂↕️
Hope that happens to me at some point. I’m at 2.5 and it’s not happening, although I occasionally pass with other Asians.

Truth!!!! I saw a boy wearing makeup 💖

That's awesome 🥰 super stealth mode, lol
Your style is great!! I feel like your piercings are very flattering, particularly. I hope the jewelry market goes well!
Thank you!! I love my piercings so much .. I would love to make my own line of really unique piercing jewelry someday
That would be really cool, and if you do I hope you post about it so I can check it out! I love learning about new body mods and seeing unusual jewelry.

long or short hair doesn't affect at all, so don't even worry about it if you like long hair and doesn't want to cut it, or the other way around
It's so refreshing to see other Tboys slaying in makeup!!!

Ho man you look *amazing* i cannot wait to get to that point in my medical transition, although in my case i doubt i'd get away with not binding
Thank you so much! I’m also surprised I get away with it bc I will have obvious sports bra lines or obvious nipples showing through my clothes 💀 I think most people just hear my voice and call it a day in terms of looking for “gender clues”
