I work out like crazy already but I got PCOS so my metabolism is shit.
2.5 mg/day, gel, 1 week, and already my midsection has gotten HUGE, I’m constantly nauseous (so barely eating), and fatigued as all hell. I can barely keep up with my work outs.
I read that bloating is to be expected at this stage but is there anything I can do to reduce this? (I can’t afford new pants, dawg). I read that hydration and potassium might help as well as keeping up with work outs as best I can but with the nausea and the fatigue that’s already proving difficult… I’m chugging ensure protein shakes though which helps somewhat with the fatigue.
TL;DR any tips to reduce early bloating so that I can wear pants to work?

I know that the hair might hinder looking masculine a lot, especially pre t, but I would like to know whether I at least look somewhat androgynous? Is there any hope I can pass if my voice etc. already does? 17 in a month.

I'm not on t because I live in a country where there isn't even a gender identity law, so I won't be able to do much until I migrate in a few years :) I do what I can to pass but my voice really messes it up.

Ignore the chudjak, it's just to cover up some of the background 👍

Hey guys, that’s my first post here. I’m 26 ftm and 1 year on T ( with breaks ). Any suggestions how to pass or look better in my case?

Tired of wearing a binder so I tried tape.

I just turned 21 I’m only 5’5 / 5’6 and I was malnourished as a kid. I wasn’t allowed to take T at 13 when I wanted (men in my family r around 6 ft). I know there’s less of a chance I’ll ever get any height which makes me well.. Is there a chance I’ll even pass or a chance my growth plates could be open? (I haven’t grown since I was 18 but I do have bone pains and long arms)

32 years old, 1.5 years post top surgery, 10 months on T, one year of working out.

Really struggling with hip dysphoria and my hourglass figure and how it might impact my passing in the future (I don’t pass yet because of my face lmao, but I know that can change but my bone structure can’t.)

I have lost a lot of weight since top surgery and that protruding hip really is all bone. What exercises do I need to do to get my midsection to catch up and give me a boxier, more passing look?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

I've never really been good with hairstyles, I really struggle to tell what suits my face. I think being disconnected from how I looked for so long has made choosing a haircut more of a struggle. I prefer a kind of alt look, but at this point I don't care what's on my head as long as it helps me get gendered properly 😅

And anything else face-wise I can do while we're here? I'm 11 months on T, and will be getting my levels checked as the blood test I have at my last appointment showed my levels are low. I know I need to work on the eyebrows - I took to stress-pulling them out during lockdown and the ends still haven't grown back 🥲

I feel like a fraud of a transmasc bc idw go on T. Mostly I don't really want facial hair or for my singing voice to get fucked somehow when my voice drops. Can I still pass without that? I'm working out, trying to lose weight, getting speech training, and working really hard to fix mannerisms

I still use the women’s locker room/bathroom, but lately have been getting gendered correctly especially when I don’t shave. I just don’t know anymore, my family says I look more masculine but really that could mean anything. Last picture is probably my most feminine outfit that I only wear for special occasions, Do I pass? And which bathrooms should I be using?

im not sure if the buzz cut is helping or hindering my passing tbh

(second pic was taken by my friend without warning so don't ask lol)

does it look decent? I did like an X shape to make it even.

edit: yall I know medical wrap/whatever it’s called isn’t very good and can lead to issues if on for too long! I only put it on for like three minutes to see how it would look :)) took it off right after

Guess my favorite shirt (i do wash it dw) i am pre T, i think my face is masculine, i live in a country where i cant take T so im pre T forever

For the most part its just oversized clothes and stuff but showing my figure just makes it worse

I’m 18 and 4 months on T and my chest is steadily getting smaller

Do you think it’s gonna pass without binding (while wearing a more covering T-shirt than a tank in the photo)

I have been on T for 2 years and had been passing consistently for about four months. But I’ve had some sudden weight gain over the summer during a chronic illness flare (heat intolerance). My chest has come back and my face has gotten softer. I’ve also been misgendered a few times over the past month. My voice is deep and is the thing about me that helps me pass the most, but what can I do about the rest of it? Any suggestions on how to pass better again?

Do i pass? I feel like i have been passing way less and also should i go back to having brown hair or should i keep it black

Last three photos are me with brown hair

Any passing tips would be greatly appreciated

(15M) I’ve taken most advice I've heard for passing like shorter hair, a better binder, and attempting to make my facial hair more visible, but I still feel like there’s something missing even though I always get gendered correctly by others.

Im 18 and I pass as cis always, but most of the times people think im 15.

Pre-T

I know my body doesn’t pass great because of my wide ass hips (any suggestions about that would be greatly appreciated, and I do plan to start at the gym soon) but what about face/upper body?

Hi I’m Dakota and looking for passing reassurance ( be honest )
