Some trans guy tips from your dad

Don’t try that mascara/arm hair shit. I’ve been passing for more than a year with short, blond arm hair. It’s not an important secondary sex characteristic.

Board shorts (without pockets in the front) do wonders to minimize the width of your hips. Always choose board shorts over swim trunks. Choose them over cargo shorts if it’s appropriate.

Speak from your chest, never from your head.

The goal of binding should not be an entirely flat chest; you should bind for your body type.

GC2b makes the best binders out there, and their products are designed specifically for trans men/transmasculine people.

It might seem useless if you’re pre-T, but working out can be a big help for dysphoria.

Eyebrows are really important to passing pre-testosterone. Muss that shit up. Make them look unkempt.

When you ask for a haircut, make sure the edges in the back are squared, not rounded.

If you have peach fuzz, I would advise shaving it. Cis guys shed theirs when they go through puberty. Shaving can also help with facial hair dysphoria.

Don’t ever buy a binder from Amazon. They run in strange sizes (I was an XXL even though I’m a M in GC2b) and take weeks/months to come. It’s also difficult to breathe in them after a few hours.

Adding a couple things. 

-Patience is a virtue you need to come to terms with. Even on T, things take time. My voice dropped immediately, but my cycle continued for 6 months. We’re all different. 

-In the summer, HYDRATE YOURSELF. A binder is an extra layer, and mine have always been very warm. 

-When its not too hot, layers are your friend. You’d be surprised what even simply an undershirt can do to smooth out your look. 

-You are going to get misgendered. This is a fact, and it sucks. Learn to politely correct people. Remember you might be the first (openly) trans person they meet, so be a good ambassador. 

-When you start T, your smell will change. You will sweat like you’ve never sweat before, and it WILL STINK. Adjust your bathing habits accordingly.

If you have a really large chest you might do better with Underworks binders. They aren’t pretty, they’re not soft, but they do a good job and were the first on the market for a very long time. I couldn’t stand gc2b so if you’re like me, try Underworks.

Don’t double bind.

DON’T USE DUCK TAPE. I still have scars from a dumb decision I made as a teen and I’m 31 now.

When the time comes for top surgery, shop around. Find someone who will tailor your chest to your needs. Look at their portfolio. Compare surgeons. See if you can find someone who will work with your health insurance if you have it.

Be safe. Be healthy. Take your time. It’s not a race or a competition.

[the-lad-system]

If you don’t mind, I’d also add

Resting the bottom of your shirt on the waist of your pants- similar to French tucking- makes your torso look more boxy and helps reduce the appearance of your chest. It works best with sweatpants

Stand with your legs a little further apart than you’re used to. It makes your hips look more proportionate to the rest of your body.

Standing straight up (mostly when binding or using other methods of visually reducing your chest) makes you look more masculine.

If you don’t have a packer, use a bunched up pair of socks.

Pushing your jaw forward gives you more of a visible jawline. Just don’t go too far, other wise it looks a little odd.

Basketball jerseys help visually minimize your chest. Just throw on a jacket/flannel to hide bras/binders from the sides.

These are all I can think of at the moment, but they really helped me

Oh, hey, nonbinary AFAB here! Would like to add that if you live in a country where medical prescriptions are cheap and you don’t have to jump through millions of hoops to get one, going on the Pill if you can’t get a testosterone prescription works wonders for period-related dysphoria (and it’s probably easier most places to get that prescription if you inquire about it because of ‘painful periods’). Also, I knew a trans guy who when he was pre-T learned contour in order to sharpen his jawline and honestly when he perfected it I genuinely didn’t recognise him for three solid minutes until I noticed his backpack.

I discovered the universe of Final fantasy during my elementary school years. Around 2006. It was a revelation for me, I started to build fantastic dreams, my imagination became immense and I could no longer live without my music to daydream. The first man I met was Cloud, then Noctis a little later. I fell in love with these two characters for their beauty, their character. I have identified myself enormously with them, dark, lonely characters. I also loved Balthier. Final fantasy will forever remain in my heart. It’s my childhood, it’s my adolescence, it’s the construction of my identity. These are golden memories, precious memories.

My PIN number to this day is my second grade best friends birthday. There are people I don’t talk to anymore whose families are still in my prayers. There are shirts I wear to bed from exes of 8 years ago who are married now with kids. And I haven’t found a macaroni salad recipe better than my college boyfriend’s moms’. Our lives are made up of so many people and when people become parts of our lives, some parts remain long after they leave. And in the same exact way, it’s comforting to know there are so many lives you’re still a part of that you have no idea about.
