I remember once at a gas station my mom sent my inside to get ice.I was wearing a flannel, decent sized jeans, high tops, and a bandanna. When I checked out the ice she said, “Have a great day, young man!” I wasn’t out yet (and still am not) I had the long hair sadly. I was so happy she called me a young man. Then my mom went inside for something, and the lady at the register said “That’s a nice son you have! He was so kind :)” then I heard my mom yell “S H E ‘ S A G I R L ! “ She kinda got a little angry so I admit, I kindagotalittleangry
Tip for achieving a voice you’re comfortable with: learn how to speak as a male character you like the voice of, even if you can only match tone. Good luck my fellow ftms!
There some tips I don’t do from this list like I put on some makeup, I’m darkish blond, I don’t pack or wear chest binders yet I still pass, someone even called my sir when I forgot my drinks the other day

Hey man, I came here from reddit. I'm pretty far along in transition but I wanted to say you are giving great advice in every video I've seen and I subbed for support, keep it up!
my adoptive mother has been refusing to call me by he/him or Ozzy, so, she now calls me "Child" "object" "gay thing" ect, so im going to show her and all her friends, that i go by he/him, i will be packing, and making a chest binder( because im extreamly poor so i cant afford one :/ ) and i know im going to get my ass beat because of it, but, im just 13, trying to be myself, and trying to have a great relationship with my boyfriend (that mother dosent know about, and hes already agreed that in three years ill be living with him so i can get top and bottom surgery! hes very supportive and hes now glad hes dating a male, he thinks its fun) oh and, sorry for bad spelling ive been crying for 7 hours, and its now 1:30 AM, my whole family is very homophobic and i hate it, i cant wait till i move in with my boyfriend..... ill be able to be free from the physical and emotional abuse, anyways, theres my life story i guess?? lol - Ozzy
Reminder you don’t have to follow all of these! This isn’t any hate on the video, in fact this was helpful for us. This is just a reminder for people who think they have to do everything in this video to be a valid trans male :)
Once I was at the supermarket with some family I wasn't out to yet, and one of my friends saw me. He rushed up and said (and I quote): "Altas! (my preferred name) Bro, I did NOT expect to see my favorite boy here, at the supermarket! How you doin' king?" I didn't know what to do- My family looked confused af but I was litterally so happy- ALSO HE CALLED ME KING HUSBAND MATERIAL 🛐🛐
6. I size-up my clothes but that is because I really love over-sized clothes. I want to pass as male but I also don’t really want to copy the guys around me or blend in like that
Hey bro i know this is a late answer but Uniqlo has some really good oversized tees if you’re still into them. Dickies also has good pants for that vibe as well (874 model in particular). I’d also check out Tim Dessaint on youtube for tips on styling
This video is really well made. It seems really useful, and I shared it with my friend that’s going through this kind of gender dysphoria so I hope they can use it : )
GhostOfYummyTippEx thank you! I’m going to be making videos on your to deal with euphoria specifically in the future as well so hopefully that will be helpful :)
I started voice training and working out and I'm about to get a shorter hair cut. Also a tip from me : when you don't or can't have a binder, then you can use sport bras. I don't know if they are helpful for everyone, but for the ones with a smaller chest, I definitly recommend. Also confidence is the hardest point on this list because in public I'm always feeling like I'm in disguise and I'm about to get caught and then bullied by everyone 😅
Honestly agree with the sports bra bit, it’s what I’ve been doing this whole time since my mother refuses to get me a binder since she insists I don’t need one (I’m a very small sized person) But the sports bra certainly works, defo recommends others try if it possibly works for them too
A way to help not walk with a sway is slightly away ur shoulders instead and don't spread your legs too far you eventually just do it naturally. And certain stands are okay at times, but when guys have their hands on their hips it's normally when working and figuring out solutions
This is very helpful. I’m wearing more sweatpants and basketball ball shorts. During gym and XC practice I get gendered as male a lot and I love it. It started to make me feel more confident in myself and a little less dysphoric. Thank you for this video it really helps
Thanks so much! I am trying to identify outside as non binary. I really want to dress as a male now, but I have dysphoria around my hips, hair, thighs and chest. I bought a gc2b binder a few days ago Which is solving the problem :) this helped a ton! Thanks! (From an awkward 12 year old in Canada)
im also 16 now... when we were 12 i was still homophobic and transphobic af 😭 took a while for me to realize im bisexual (like one and a half years ago) then more time to un-homophobe myself (like 6 months ago) then even more time to realize im not female (like a few weeks ago) now idk what i am, but i mean, baby steps i havent changed how i look at all so far.. and idk what i want tbh
AHHH thank you so muchhhhh!! , I'm a trans male (13) and I don't wanna do testosterone because I could regret it. Obviously I can't alter my body because I don't want to and it's dangerous for kids, I'm already pretty masculine, I'm pretty chubby and my jaw is way more masculine. The lunch ladies always called me "young man" whenever I was in public school, it gave me a rush of adrenaline and happiness. I don't have a deep voice that much but I definitely don't look like a girl, I also have muscles along with my slightly chubby figure, I also wear male clothing, I'm getting a binder soon! But I bind with my sports bras for now. I might start a discord server to help other trans men, you really inspired me and also helped a lot. 🖤 I really appreciate you, thank you.
I’m so happy for you!!! If you know any, do you have any tips that the video didn’t cover? I’m curious since I apparently don’t pass that well in public. My parents don’t support either lol
@@ghostlygears best tips I can give is try your best. If you don't have a binder layered clothing could work well!, try dressing masc and tying up your hair, wearing a beanie, try working with your vocal cords and try changing your voice to sound masc, there's some tuts on RUclips. I forgot I watched this so idk if the person gave these tips but I hope everything works out for you!, your valid and don't forget. You'll always be a boy. Don't listen to the hate.
Wait guys are confident? I always thought I couldn't be a guy because I talk a lot but maybe that's confident or something and people will gloss over my crippling anxiety
And remember that gender expression and gender are DIFFERENT. I was uncomfortable at first wearing funky earrings because I was afraid not to "pass", but seeing Frederic Chen's channel and his amazing looks made me more confident to express myself however I want. Remember, you do not HAVE TO pass to be considered transgender. If you feel like something feels uncomfortable for you, don't do it.
me: nahh, I´m not trans. I just watch it because of research and stuff. also me: taking notes on how to pass better as a boy I guess I´m a boy. Thank you by the way for this video. It helped me and my researching very well.
Good news, this video helped me build up the courage to tell my dad that I want to wear a binder and stuff so as to pass as more masculine! Bad news, he was talking down to me the entire time and didn't listen to what I was trying to say.
hey man, at least you tried! imho a "no" is better than a "what if". at least then you have the closure to move forward. it SUCKS, but it'll pass. (and so will you 😉)
Tip for dudes with a femme voice, hum with your head going up and down until your vocal chords don't feel tight, then open your mouth. Feel how your throat kind of opens too? Close your mouth, but keep your throat open. Relax your shoulders, and talk. That should make your voice sound deeper.
look at what the boys around you are wearing and copy them what the boys around me wear: adidas pants, supreme shirts, and soccer socks with white sneakers what if i want style tho.
I feel you. I dress femininely, but not the way that girls at my school do. I like to be ~fancy~ The thrift store is your best friend. Almost every article of clothing I own is second hand. If you are on the larger side, it will be harder to find great clothes, though. There are simply more clothes in smaller sizes. Maybe you can wear suits. Like, generic teacher suits.
yesssss someone mentions body language!!! great video dude! only thing is im pretty sure youre not supposed to wear the tape as long because it has less room for movement and breathing. in cosplay we call it open chest binding, and we only do it when the character had an open shirt because binders are safer and can be worn longer
These guys from my old school used to say "are you a guy" as a joke, mainly cuz I have a kind of deep voice. I guess they knew I was trans before I did
remember passing is not a necessity, people who don't pass are just as trans as people who do and looks are not the determining factor of your gender identity and passing is not the goal of everyones trans journey.
Jasper Rose 1 year ago Fair warning for the minoxidil, please be very careful if you have pets. This is very poisonous to cats and even kill them, please if you have animals think about this. Along with that please try this on your wrists before putting it on your face, you could be allergic. My personal use, is it helped a bit, but I was unbearably itchy after five days and had to rinse it out and throw it out so no animals can get a hold of it.
Even 5 years later I still agree with all of these tips. Already know all of them due to personal experience but I watch it occasionally for a small confidence booster. Props to you.
Thanks for this video ! I'm a trans guy, and I'm pre T, I need to get my hair cut differently, because mine is feminine even though I go to the barber.
I’m a woman I don’t want to be a man but I want to be a masc woman for my future girlfriend this helped a lot thank you Edit:I commented this 9 months ago and I’m trans now lol
“I don’t recommend any crazy hair colors” Me, a trans male, about to get my hair dyed rainbow: O_O (Still gonna do it tho. Anyway, that’s as far as I’ve gotten in the video. Awesome tips so far!!)
This guide is very helpful! It looks like I'm already on the right track with a lot of these. I cant help but feel a little bitter at how we have to do all of this analysing and tweaking just to be perceived as who we are while others don't even have to think about it, but I try to remember that things worth having don't come easy.
one note, you did recommend trans tape, but id like to say that you should NOT use trans tape if you have sensitive skin!!! i tried it once having eczema and it definitely scarred 😕
Thank you so so much I’m a trans boy here and it’s been hard for me most people around me don’t support trans people. Only a few will call me by Onyx which is my preferred name, I will definitely try all these tips like packing and making my own binder! Thanks a lot, your one and only, Onyx
I recommend Spectrum Outfitters for Binders as well. They are UK based. Although at face value the look more expensive with the shipping you’d pay for GC2B it works out at around the same price. They also only have the compressing material on the front meaning less strain on your back.
Recently I saw a Reddit thread that asked how trans men feel about being treated as a threat the way cis men are. My answer was "We generally understand why, because we've experienced what is making women react that way, and don't take it personally. I advise this mindset, as much as you can achieve it, for all men."
one tip for walking to help your hips sway less is imagine a line on the ground from where you are to where you're going and walk with one foot on either side of the line, instead of walking on the line. walking with your feet directly in front of each other reads more feminine, so avoiding that can be good ❤
I do the slow talking all the time, it helps with my voice a lot, sure it makes me quieter but it makes me more comfortable, I also found working out can decrease chest size, and there are certain workouts to help get a smaller chest, doing basically any arm workout can help
Great video for Trans men :) , Im a Pre T trans man & I been sitting like a man since i was a kid & and fighting with myself 3 years ago trying to see what was wrong with me.... Started wearing clothes from the mens section & was comfortable for once in my life. So picking mens clothes come natural to a trans they just pick what they like on them. Already people think im a boy for thats great for me :D , and body shape not much of a choice people have depends on your bone structure too & Body fat. Im im hoping for Inverted triangle.
"To give you sort of a Dorito shape" 😂 I'm not hatin btw im trans that part just made me laugh😂 but yeah passing is hard af especially since i don't want to go on T or anything if anything i get seen as a 12 year old boy😭
I have been struggling with my gender for years now, and as an afab this feels like a really safe place for me, so firstly I'd just like to thank you for making these videos. secondly I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me a little more about trusting myself? because I've very recently decided to go with genderflux as my "label" because I go though so many phases with gender. though the times I feel most feminine, I tend to convince myself I've been faking everything else. idk if I'm the only one but I just needed a place to get this out and here seemed like the safest.
as an afab? u mean arab? if u did mean arab im a trans arab too! ive only realized like 2 weeks ago so i have no idea what i am tho im kind of scared to know what i am anyways, i watch all these videos yet i dont do anything 😭
WARNING FOR MINOXIDIL: it is VERY fatal to cats. If you have cats I wouldn’t recommend using it, because if it even touches them they will lick that area, ingesting the minoxidil and it will kill them unless you have a very good eye on your cat/cats so you can get them to the vet asap.
On my first day of going out for shopping groceries after coming out and being confident with it I still was insecure about my walk. Because I have really obvious feminine hips and legs and I have to wear heels due to knee problems I automatically was swinging my hips a lot. A lot. So I spend an hour walking with my hands down my pockets because that would restrict me from swinging my hips freely if I forgot about it and I had such muscle strain at the end of the day just from walking like a normal person. 10/10 would do again.
I know you posted this so long ago but I hope you’re doing good! I’ve never heard about wearing heels to help with knee pain. Do you still have to wear them? Also, have you tried those kinds of mens shoes with hidden height added to the heel? I don’t know if those would be high enough to help, but I thought I would mention it, in case you haven’t heard of those before ❤
Also another tip if you dont have money and are mostly flat chested I highly suggest sports bras! They've always worked for me and their a much more affordable option
U can use binding tape when ur bigger than a c cup u just need to do it a little differently (cross the strips slightly in the bag and put one vertically over the horizontal ones to secure them because u will need at least 4 strips per side which is a lot more than a small chest needs but except for that the picture used to show how to tape shows what to do pretty accurately but u can wear tape for a lot longer because it doesn’t compress ur rips and if done correctly won’t stretch ur skin too much so you can just wear it for 1-2 days (please don’t prolong showeringbecause of it because u need to wash it throughly afterwards to get of the glue so just plan ahead)
Wow, that was really well put together. I agree with everything you mentioned. You were respectful while you were at it. I have seen a few transmen complained about not being able to pass...while they're wearing a dress/skirt with makeup on. The reality is...if you want to pass as male but leaning towards feminine looking.....you're going to be mistaken as a female. Those who tend to pass really well as men tend to do all or most of everything you had mentioned in this video.
I have a hard time passing bc my family all ways tell everyone I am a girl even if I tell them I'm trans and my family make me were girls clothes till even though I been out for more then a year as trans
once I get a haircut I will probably pass because I’m 13 and I already kinda look like a boy with long hair so SIDKWODJSKA however it’s hard to find a hair style I want because I’m asian and I have thin straight hair, there’s no volume whatsoever. And most pictures have the hair styled in them, I can’t find any with just normal hair. no hairspray, no rearrangement, just clean and brushed.
I cut my hair and I thought I passed but today I was giving money to charity and the lady said I was such a kind pretty generous girl, and I was stupid enough to not realised she said this until after left, so I couldn’t correct her. (Cut my hair three days ago)
I kinda am a pioneer in this cos when I tried to pass or just started wearing men's clothing (cos thats what suits me and I dont want female accents anymore at all cos I never liked them in the first place) I had to try over again to see what looked and felt good and I noticed, when you have hairy legs and wear shorts, likely people gonna be unable to call you a 'she' or they gonna be very rude and call you out for having hairy legs which is redicilous for both genders anyway (groom it, clean it, make sure it doesnt get out of control and what makes you feel confident and sexy), but yeah, I always had nike or addidad anyway and hoodies of which one really makes me look more masculine with shoulders and I seemed to have gravitated towards 'good' clothes since most of which I kept seems to fit these passing tips. It's cos I just tried and tried and took notes of what my environment did or my reflection and confidence. Even before I came out as trans, I was called a boy sometimes cos of wearing sweatpants and boy ish T shirts (having short hair) and honestly, looking back on, go me! :D I was almost kicked out of the women's restroom tho so I had to... expose myself.
I remember once at a gas station my mom sent my inside to get ice.I was wearing a flannel, decent sized jeans, high tops, and a bandanna. When I checked out the ice she said, “Have a great day, young man!” I wasn’t out yet (and still am not) I had the long hair sadly. I was so happy she called me a young man.

Tip for dudes with a femme voice, hum with your head going up and down until your vocal chords don't feel tight, then open your mouth. Feel how your throat kind of opens too? Close your mouth, but keep your throat open. Relax your shoulders, and talk. That should make your voice sound deeper.
look at what the boys around you are wearing and copy them
what the boys around me wear: adidas pants, supreme shirts, and soccer socks with white sneakers
what if i want style tho.
I feel you. I dress femininely, but not the way that girls at my school do. I like to be ~fancy~
The thrift store is your best friend. Almost every article of clothing I own is second hand. If you are on the larger side, it will be harder to find great clothes, though. There are simply more clothes in smaller sizes. Maybe you can wear suits. Like, generic teacher suits.
yesssss someone mentions body language!!! great video dude! only thing is im pretty sure youre not supposed to wear the tape as long because it has less room for movement and breathing. in cosplay we call it open chest binding, and we only do it when the character had an open shirt because binders are safer and can be worn longer
I’ve been binging passing tips videos and I have to say this is the best one yet it’s less complicated and definitely helps a lot thanks man
Thank you bro. You’re a lifesaver. 👍🏻 This Channel deserves more supporter.
This helps a lot. Thanks for putting your time into making this
Alex Yarke you’re welcome! Thanks for watching :)
These guys from my old school used to say "are you a guy" as a joke, mainly cuz I have a kind of deep voice. I guess they knew I was trans before I did
I'm so happy I have a deep voice FoR a GiRl although I'm not a girl lol
i think makeup actually helps me pass if i contour my cheekbones and nose but that might not be for everyone!
Yessss the nose contouring really gives me euphoria
remember passing is not a necessity, people who don't pass are just as trans as people who do and looks are not the determining factor of your gender identity and passing is not the goal of everyones trans journey.
If you have type 4c hair like me you can get dreads and twist because they look amazing

Fair warning for the minoxidil, please be very careful if you have pets. This is very poisonous to cats and even kill them, please if you have animals think about this. Along with that please try this on your wrists before putting it on your face, you could be allergic. My personal use, is it helped a bit, but I was unbearably itchy after five days and had to rinse it out and throw it out so no animals can get a hold of it.
The walking tip is a lifesaver I've been trying to find out a more masculine way to walk and this is perfect thank you bro
Even 5 years later I still agree with all of these tips. Already know all of them due to personal experience but I watch it occasionally for a small confidence booster. Props to you.
girly gossip? Sweety I may be a trans man but I am still gay🙄💅🏼
Thanks for this video ! I'm a trans guy, and I'm pre T, I need to get my hair cut differently, because mine is feminine even though I go to the barber.
I’m a woman I don’t want to be a man but I want to be a masc woman for my future girlfriend this helped a lot thank you
Edit:I commented this 9 months ago and I’m trans now lol
damn ur trans now :0
Congrats
“I don’t recommend any crazy hair colors”
Me, a trans male, about to get my hair dyed rainbow: O_O
(Still gonna do it tho. Anyway, that’s as far as I’ve gotten in the video. Awesome tips so far!!)
I bet it looks (or will look if you haven't do it yet) so cool and handsome!
Why do you need to watch videos on how to act and walk like a man? If you're a man it comes to you naturally
Youll look like a clown
@@thegovtdoesntcareaboutyou
…I’m sorry but you’re kinda stupid
Amazing video. I love that it's very well explained and organised. I hope more people discover your channel because it's very helpful for trans guys.
Thanks so much :)
Hey man, brilliant video! Can I ask, how did you get a little avatar of you & sync up with the narration?
Thank you! And it’s an iPhone thing called Animoji but you can get apps for it on other phones :)
This guide is very helpful! It looks like I'm already on the right track with a lot of these. I cant help but feel a little bitter at how we have to do all of this analysing and tweaking just to be perceived as who we are while others don't even have to think about it, but I try to remember that things worth having don't come easy.
6:49 but fuck, crossing legs is like so comfortable when I do something on phone lol
btw: Thank u so mmuuuuch
one note, you did recommend trans tape, but id like to say that you should NOT use trans tape if you have sensitive skin!!! i tried it once having eczema and it definitely scarred 😕
Thank you so so much I’m a trans boy here and it’s been hard for me most people around me don’t support trans people. Only a few will call me by Onyx which is my preferred name, I will definitely try all these tips like packing and making my own binder! Thanks a lot, your one and only,
Onyx
Love this alot..This made my passing a bit..Thx for the help :)))
Justaboy NL any time man!
I recommend Spectrum Outfitters for Binders as well. They are UK based. Although at face value the look more expensive with the shipping you’d pay for GC2B it works out at around the same price. They also only have the compressing material on the front meaning less strain on your back.
Recently I saw a Reddit thread that asked how trans men feel about being treated as a threat the way cis men are. My answer was "We generally understand why, because we've experienced what is making women react that way, and don't take it personally. I advise this mindset, as much as you can achieve it, for all men."
Love this!! I'll have to use these steps

I have.... I hate to say but c cup and I’m like 5.2 in height... -_- sometimes I wanna die... *siiiiigh*
Same bro
You see, I wanna look masculine, but I don't wanna look straight
Sammme lmao
Tehee my Bi/gay trans ass like fool wdym deep voice
Exactly
Cries in parents who don’t let me cut my hair
I feel like rapunzel-
put gum in ur hair lol
i got referred to as a boy by mistake but they never bothered to fix it and im feelin really good 😌✨
one tip for walking to help your hips sway less is imagine a line on the ground from where you are to where you're going and walk with one foot on either side of the line, instead of walking on the line. walking with your feet directly in front of each other reads more feminine, so avoiding that can be good ❤
im not trans but these videos help me to do vocal impressions so thank you a lot :)
Hey, I’m coming out on October 14th in honor of national coming out day. I will update once that happens!
Good luck king 👑💖
I do the slow talking all the time, it helps with my voice a lot, sure it makes me quieter but it makes me more comfortable, I also found working out can decrease chest size, and there are certain workouts to help get a smaller chest, doing basically any arm workout can help
I'm struggling sooo much with my voice, it always gives me away because I have such a high voice 😢
Great video for Trans men :) , Im a Pre T trans man & I been sitting like a man since i was a kid & and fighting with myself 3 years ago trying to see what was wrong with me.... Started wearing clothes from the mens section & was comfortable for once in my life. So picking mens clothes come natural to a trans they just pick what they like on them. Already people think im a boy for thats great for me :D , and body shape not much of a choice people have depends on your bone structure too & Body fat. Im im hoping for Inverted triangle.
"To give you sort of a Dorito shape" 😂 I'm not hatin btw im trans that part just made me laugh😂 but yeah passing is hard af especially since i don't want to go on T or anything if anything i get seen as a 12 year old boy😭
I have been struggling with my gender for years now, and as an afab this feels like a really safe place for me, so firstly I'd just like to thank you for making these videos. secondly I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me a little more about trusting myself? because I've very recently decided to go with genderflux as my "label" because I go though so many phases with gender. though the times I feel most feminine, I tend to convince myself I've been faking everything else. idk if I'm the only one but I just needed a place to get this out and here seemed like the safest.
as an afab? u mean arab? if u did mean arab im a trans arab too! ive only realized like 2 weeks ago so i have no idea what i am tho
im kind of scared to know what i am anyways, i watch all these videos yet i dont do anything 😭
I just want to say this to yall:
WELCOME TO THE BOOOOOOOOOYS!
WARNING FOR MINOXIDIL: it is VERY fatal to cats. If you have cats I wouldn’t recommend using it, because if it even touches them they will lick that area, ingesting the minoxidil and it will kill them unless you have a very good eye on your cat/cats so you can get them to the vet asap.
pretty good tips overall, working out can do a lot for body shape and you can socialize with gym bros which are the most manly men
this is so frickin useful! especially for teens thank you!
On my first day of going out for shopping groceries after coming out and being confident with it I still was insecure about my walk. Because I have really obvious feminine hips and legs and I have to wear heels due to knee problems I automatically was swinging my hips a lot. A lot. So I spend an hour walking with my hands down my pockets because that would restrict me from swinging my hips freely if I forgot about it and I had such muscle strain at the end of the day just from walking like a normal person. 10/10 would do again.
I know you posted this so long ago but I hope you’re doing good! I’ve never heard about wearing heels to help with knee pain. Do you still have to wear them? Also, have you tried those kinds of mens shoes with hidden height added to the heel? I don’t know if those would be high enough to help, but I thought I would mention it, in case you haven’t heard of those before ❤
Comment anything i might have missed or improvements I could make :) full playlist : ruclips.net/p/PLazd2y1qlOcAE7ZKb5iUx9yCNdZwD00Rr
Also another tip if you dont have money and are mostly flat chested I highly suggest sports bras! They've always worked for me and their a much more affordable option
Him: to pass with height you can get platforms to be taller
Me who’s ftm who’s taller then every girl I’ve met:
I’m a trans femboy tho-
then do whatever makes you feel comfortable. the things in these videos aren’t necessary, your physical form doesn’t define your identity :))
Thanks for the tips I got called sir for the first time:)
Thank you so so much for giving me those guys accounts you don’t believe how that helped me
U can use binding tape when ur bigger than a c cup u just need to do it a little differently (cross the strips slightly in the bag and put one vertically over the horizontal ones to secure them because u will need at least 4 strips per side which is a lot more than a small chest needs but except for that the picture used to show how to tape shows what to do pretty accurately but u can wear tape for a lot longer because it doesn’t compress ur rips and if done correctly won’t stretch ur skin too much so you can just wear it for 1-2 days (please don’t prolong showeringbecause of it because u need to wash it throughly afterwards to get of the glue so just plan ahead)
Me dressing like a jojo character 😃👍
okay but like i really love this. omg you're so underrated. 💕💕
Wow, that was really well put together. I agree with everything you mentioned. You were respectful while you were at it. I have seen a few transmen complained about not being able to pass...while they're wearing a dress/skirt with makeup on. The reality is...if you want to pass as male but leaning towards feminine looking.....you're going to be mistaken as a female. Those who tend to pass really well as men tend to do all or most of everything you had mentioned in this video.
“Don’t get involved in girly drama”
My drama obsessed self:
I have a hard time passing bc my family all ways tell everyone I am a girl even if I tell them I'm trans and my family make me were girls clothes till even though I been out for more then a year as trans
*SOBS IN CLOSETED* (literally im crying rn)
once I get a haircut I will probably pass because I’m 13 and I already kinda look like a boy with long hair so SIDKWODJSKA however it’s hard to find a hair style I want because I’m asian and I have thin straight hair, there’s no volume whatsoever. And most pictures have the hair styled in them, I can’t find any with just normal hair. no hairspray, no rearrangement, just clean and brushed.
“the pictures slowly get worse” HAD ME DYINHGGG also this is really helpful
I cut my hair and I thought I passed but today I was giving money to charity and the lady said I was such a kind pretty generous girl, and I was stupid enough to not realised she said this until after left, so I couldn’t correct her. (Cut my hair three days ago)
I have passed many times but i remember when someone said “him” and my mom corrected her and said “yes she”
Me who already passes still watching this video
Lucky
I kinda am a pioneer in this cos when I tried to pass or just started wearing men's clothing (cos thats what suits me and I dont want female accents anymore at all cos I never liked them in the first place) I had to try over again to see what looked and felt good and I noticed, when you have hairy legs and wear shorts, likely people gonna be unable to call you a 'she' or they gonna be very rude and call you out for having hairy legs which is redicilous for both genders anyway (groom it, clean it, make sure it doesnt get out of control and what makes you feel confident and sexy), but yeah, I always had nike or addidad anyway and hoodies of which one really makes me look more masculine with shoulders and I seemed to have gravitated towards 'good' clothes since most of which I kept seems to fit these passing tips. It's cos I just tried and tried and took notes of what my environment did or my reflection and confidence. Even before I came out as trans, I was called a boy sometimes cos of wearing sweatpants and boy ish T shirts (having short hair) and honestly, looking back on, go me! :D I was almost kicked out of the women's restroom tho so I had to... expose myself.
1:18 this is actually so cool! my hair has gotten darker with age, i feel more masculine now hahahsha
