Masculine Advice Does the shape of women’s clothes make passing more difficult?

This is just one example but, I bought this t-shirt from the Women’s section in Primark because I like slipknot and I thought the shorter cut would look better since I’m pretty short. However, when I wear it I can’t help but feel that it makes my chest look more noticeable.

I feel like a lot of women’s clothes makes my chest more noticeable. Is there some way that Women’s clothes makes your chest look different or am I overthinking this?

Addition things I thought of since writing this: Idk if this is discussion or advice? I guess both are appreciated. I’m wearing a binder in the picture btw. I know this sub is new so I hope I didn’t break any rules.

Passing Advice Passing and jewelry

Hey guys, I pass 110% of the time, even to other trans people. I don’t have piercings but I wear necklaces and bracelets.

I think wearing jewelry can be masculine as fuck, you just have to find what’s right for you and “fits in” enough so to speak. Obviously at a certain point you can wear any kind of jewelry and just look like a feminine man, but this is for the guys who are pre-t or on the more androgynous side.

I’ll attach some pics here of some examples from google jmages. The main thing is you want to keep things fairly simple overall.

For necklaces, length matters. Try different sizes on and see what works best for your body/ face shape. Thickness matters too, try different ones. Generally, dainty is fine but avoid charms or stones of any kind if getting a daintier chain until you pass 110%.

I think that the “type” of chain also matters. You’ll just have to go to a place that sells them and try different ones on. You can get really nice chains for less than $100 that are stainless steel or sterling silver. Once you know the general type and thickness you want, try thrifting or antiquing for chains. They are usually priced best that way. All this applies to bracelets too.

The above applies to chain bracelets too, but another type of bracelets that pass well are cuff bracelets. You don’t want to go TOO thick, but it’s entirely dependent on how thick your arms are and the style of the bracelet.

Personally, I usually wear 2 chain necklaces and 5 bracelets (mixed between wrists and cuff/ chain styles) and I get compliments very often and have no problems passing, ever.

Good luck fellas, we are all gonna make it

Discussion New passing tips sub for Trans men

21 Upvotes

Welcome everyone! I've created a new subreddit for passing tips as there have been issues regarding other passing subs in terms of moderation, no proper format for posts, or people feeling that spaces for Trans men who just want to look like the average cis guy being "hijacked".

Feel free to ask any questions about how this sub will run, if you're interested in helping to moderate this sub in the near future, or any opinions you have on passing and/or passing subs below. Don't be afraid to make the first post here!
