We are a blog created for people of all ages who have questions concerning their gender identity. Read our FAQ here!
Transgender is an umbrella term that is inclusive of, but not limited to (nor forced upon), trans women, trans men, non-binary people, genderfluid people, genderqueer people, agender people, and anyone who doesn't identify as the gender assigned to them at birth.
Question, what advice do you have for a trans male who can't take hormones (for medicals reasons) on trying to pass? I've been having a lot of difficulties and really could use some tips or advice.
Emery says:
Here are some tips that I’ve dug up:
-adopt a more masculine hairstyle
-watch the way cis men walk and imitate them
-buy more masculine clothing if you can (men’s button up shirts, polos, band tees, hoodies, sweatshirts, shorts, and jeans)
-speak in a lower voice
-don’t shave your legs and armpits
-wear a well-fitting binder
-wear a packer or STP (stand to pee) device
*Just as a disclaimer, men are men no matter what they look like or what their mannerisms are.
If any followers also have some advice that they’d like to offer, please feel free to do so.
So I'm sort of a large male with a deep ish voice but I want to appear cute and girly (MTF here!) I have no clue on even where to start this, any suggestions?

Hey lovely.
If you’re a largish lady, then I’m guessing you have some flesh to work with on your chest. I have three words if this is case. Push. Up. Bra.
Go get yourself a nice A or B cup push up, and you’ll get some cleavage. That’s a good starting point. :) (for chest size just tape measure around your chest, just bellow the boops)
If not then chicken fillets are your best mates. (Little silicon bra inserts that look like chicken breast)
Avoid figure hugging clothes for the time being, go for long flowey clothes.You could go for a shift dress, also. I LOVE SHIFT DRESSES.
If you don’t like your arms, keep it long sleeved, friend.
Basically you want clothes that extenuate what you want people to see, and hide the things you don’t
Have a look at style guides for larger women.
As for voice my love, you need to have patience. I just listened to girls around me talk and then practised at home by reading out loud and trying to emulate it. But my voice was never that low. I used to have to drop it, when I wasn’t in role, so people wouldn’t take the micky.
Here are some resorces that will help you with voice training:
Candi - This girl made a series of videos on how to train your voice. She uses falsetto as a starting point, so remember not to train too much or you could do damage to your vocal chords.
Deepstealth - These are a series of in depth videos on how to train your voice, they used to cost moonies, but now they have been uploaded to the wonderful tube of you, for your viewing pleasure. Warning, these are long, but very in depth. (fun fact: These videos featured in the start of transamerica)
You can also get voice therapy lessons, and even surgery. But surgery is scary and sucky so bleh.
Own it my love.
