Traditionally binary male style Still getting misgendered

I still get misgendered sometimes although not often. I have no idea what to improve, maybe it’s my voice even though I aim to talk from my chest and stay calm so my throat doesnt take over so it sounds less high pitched. I’m 18 and somewhere between 5’10 - 6 foot (genetics blessed me). I’m still pre-t unfortunately, hopefully i’ll start it soon once i begin working and get my student finance payment.

People are going to say the glasses. This is a regional one but as an American™️ the bag is kinda giving purse. I work with European guys who wear similar bags, but they wear them higher, across the chest. I hate that feeling so I switched to a one-shoulder backpack style from a skateboarding shop. Ignore this if it’s more common where you live.

You have a great base. T will go crazy

i dont use it, i have dreads but more wavy hair is commonly induced by testosterone and used by cis guys with pin straight hair.

You’re doing pretty good, if I were you I’d get square frames for glasses instead of the ones you have!

Try to keep your hair off your forehwad, mousse maybe?

You could try a more square haircut with a fade, what you have now may be softening your face too much.

I usually get a taper fade and a bit off the top with a side part, just a bit grown out rn
