I wanted to do something a bit different this tgirl tummy Tuesday. So here's some sexy and informative stuff!

A lot of people tell me something like "how the fuck do you boymode?". My response is usually some combination of A, the parts of my face I hide are very masculine, and B, people are primed to see me as masc in day to day life so just don't think about it much.

And those are true, to an extent. But boymode vs girlmode is a bit more than clothes, and I wanted to do a video that can show that a bit. And hey, why not have a little fun and show off a little tummy with it?

There's a lot more I could be doing for the girlmode here. This is no makeup, still wearing a very compressive sports bra, and I didn't even adjust how I'm wearing my pants or the tightness. It's also not the most femme of outfits, just a woman's cut tank top. I could also do an actually femme looking ponytail that hides the hairline better- all ponytails in this post look pretty masculine, though. But I think this still shows the contrast pretty well.

The hairline does a lot of work here, but it's less than you think. Mostly, that's just a "primer" to get you to read the rest of me as more masc or femme overall.

If you're curious, here's some other pictures of each factor individually:

Boymode:

Girlmode:

😳🥺😳🥺😳🥺 mode:

Hopefully this was fun, and gave a little insight into my boymoding! Hopefully I won't have to deal with this in a couple months.

@lilithtransrights @xenasaur @godless-of-the-hunt , how was my analysis here?

My biggest tip to ppl who are the beginning of their gender self-discovery is to let it marinate. You don't know which label fits you the most? Don't worry about that. It will come with time. You might change your labels multiple times, and it's completely normal.

Start with pronouns and words that feel comfortable to you. They should give you gender euphoria. If you feel uncomfortable with certain pronouns, etc, it might be a sign that you should drop them. You don't need to change your name at first. You don't need to do that at all!

Ask your friends or family that you know will support you to use different pronouns/names. Even if you can do that only online for safety reasons.

Don't rush things. There is no pressure. You don't have to prove anything to anyone.

Tips For Passing as Male I Accidentally Stumbled Upon While Minding My Own Genderfluid Business:

(Btw everyone deserves to be gendered correctly no matter how they act, these are just some tips that you may try if you would like.)

1. Keep your posture open. Feet shoulder width apart and pointing out, shoulders back, chest forward, energy all directed outward. Even though you may think openness makes your chest or stature more obvious, the energy/confidence is what people notice first, not the content.

2. That said, you don’t have to hold yourself like a peacock the whole time. I’ve learned that people go off the assumption they make when first meeting you, and then don’t really look again - so if the first thing they see is a cis guy, you can relax after that, they rarely double check.

3. When it seems appropriate, offer a handshake when meeting people, especially other guys, and hold a little tighter than is strictly natural. I know it sounds stupid, but it goes far; I’ve been offered more handshakes by guys these past 2 years of somewhat masc presentation than I have all 16 previous years combined. Guys just be shakin hands w/ each other

4. Again, when it makes sense, consider “dapping up” a guy if you know each other, traditionally when you part ways. To do this, proffer your dominant hand in a loose C shape like you’re holding an invisible cup, and when they clasp theirs with yours, lift the hands a few inches in the air and then lower them and release on the way down (sometimes accompanied by opposite hand on the tricep/shoulder, I.e. bro hug. Istg the things men do 💀)

5. If you have the space and it won’t annoy anyone, manspread a bit when you sit

6. Keep your head lifted when you’re out in public - makes your jaw look broader and suggests confidence, I.e. keeping posture open

7. If you want your voice to sound lower, try humming a low note while you’re alone to see how that feels in your throat and know where that timbre comes from in your chest. It’s easier to regulate your voice on command when you experiment, find the strings to pull in yourself to bring out the low sound.

8. Consider peppering in an “as much as the next guy” in conversation. Subtle phrase, but stakes your claim clearly

9. Exude some extra anti-shyness around guys. Make a point to nod to them in greeting and make eye contact like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Little gestures of brazenness go a long way to say “we’re the same”

10. When speaking to a group of guys, try matching their vocal patterns and tone: if they say “like” and “dude” a lot for example, pepper those in too. This works in all situations actually, it will make you seem agreeable and similar to anyone, but it especially works well when you’re trying to blend in with a crowd

11. Clothes with flannel and wool are really good for disguising characteristics you might want to hide

12. Try darkening these areas (outlined in blue) of your face with eyeshadow a bit darker than your skin tone. Eyeshadow blends with skin texture better than things like foundation and it’s hard to smudge, so it’s usually unnoticeable while it adds depth and sharpness to these areas.

Transmasc tip (or just for anyone who wants to look taller, but I find it very gender affirming personally)

But heelys. Trust me.

A) They’re fun

B) (and more importantly) if you take the wheels out and just wear them as sneakers, they add an inch or two onto your height while still looking like just everyday sneakers (because the heel is lifted to make room for the wheels)

Tips I do to feel a bit more masculine as a closeted ftnb/transmasc

Coping

—Tapping the flat spot in the middle of my chest, especially when lying down

—Looking for that slight hair on my upper lip and convincing myself it’s a moustache

—Curling up under blankets

—Wearing big hoodies. They’re not great for passing but they’re good if you’re having a bad time with dysphoria

—Seeing girls and women talk about something and acting completely disconnected from it (‘I’m a guy/not a girl so I don’t know about that’ sort of thing)

Demeanour

—Tilting head slightly up to give a more masculine look and vibe (idk man, it works)

—Narrowing eyes slightly

—Furrowing brows/frowning more

—Ruffling hair, especially after just being in the shower

—Roughing up eyebrows

—Taking up more space, especially when sitting (manspreading basically)

—Standing very loosely, putting weight on the back of body generally

—Hands in pockets!

Dressing

—Broadshorts, basketball shorts, and jorts. Basically any shorts that go a little lower than halfway to the knees and fit loosely. They help to hide hips so much

—Straight cut jeans

—Undone button ups box out your frame and hide curves very well

—Sporty tops and trousers

—Wearing very simple jewellery (for example I wear my Star of David necklace and it actually makes me feel more masculine)

—Keeping the sides of my hair short and the front longer

—Wearing dark colours, especially for tops and stuff

—Hoodies, obviously. Baggy, but not too oversized

—Graphic tees

trans and need help picking a name?? 🏳️‍⚧️

oh boy, do i have a method for you!!

i do this as the step before i have people try out names for me just to make sure i'm personally happy with them first. as someone who's been out for almost 10 years and tried a bunch of different names, this way helped me narrow down my options with the most confidence!

write any name you like on a piece of paper like a list.

make a column every time you look at the paper, maybe every few days or so.

check off the names you like going down the columns based on your preference for the day. (i color code the ones i like for first names and middle names with different color checks.)

after you do this for however long you want, see which name you like consistently! (you can also easily add names that you like as you go, just add it to the end of the list.)

here’s what my list looks like right now as an example (i do my work in OneNote, the green checks are first name and the yellow is middle name):

I had always been really nervous about being a HS wrestler pre top surgery, cause I was stealth but still had to wear binding tape (cause you can’t exercise in a binder). But then I learned about gynecomastia, where cis guys go through puberty and grow lots of extra breast tissue. So when I had matches in my singlet, guys would ask about what the tape was for and I could just say I had gyno and was self conscious about it. And after top surgery this summer, if anyone asks about scars I can just say I got my gyno removed. So for any stealth trans mascs out there dealing with peoples questions about binders/tape, just say you have gynecomastia! Cause cis guys can have tits too!

Ask

This trans youth sent his ask to me via message but has allowed me to share it incase it helps others. Thank you anon :)

Anon: "hey i was just wondering if you had any advice for me. i am a teenage transmasc (not entirely sure about my identity yet) but have been experiencing massive dysphoria around my name and chest and stuff. i cant come out to my parents as they are very transphobic and i may end up being disowned. i feel as though i am trapped in this situation of not being able to come out but unable to be happy like this. i am very sorry for the rant hope you have a good day."

_______________________________________

hey welcome :)

I'm also a transmasc kid in a very similar situation to yours, in fact almost identical, so I can relate.

A few things i recommend:

- If you are friends with some people at school you know will be supportive, maybe try come out to a couple of them MAKING IT VERY CLEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT OUT TO ADULTS/YOUR PARENTS. It's not much but being called a preferred name and pronouns by even only a couple of people can make a huge difference.

- If you are able to buy your own clothes or choose what you wear (I am not), I recommend using clothing to express yourself and hide your chest. Layering with thinks like jackets and flannel shirts are a great option as they hide your chest and look quite masc. Additionally, i recommend t-shirts with those big, thick plasticky printed designs on them, as they don't flex very easily hiding your chest a little. Straight cut jeans can help hide curves if you get dysphoric about that. And if all else fails, a big hoodie hides everything

- if you are not able to get a haircut and have long hair, i recommend tucking it in a hat like a beanie to give the appearance of short hair. If it is long enough, you can even flip it over and make it look like a sort of fringe.

- If you wear makeup, or are open to doing that, there are plenty of masculine makeup tutorials out there which can really help make your face appear more masc

- In terms of a binder, I assume that like for me that is not an option. However, layering sports bras can be alright for now. Just make sure to be safe with it, don't size down, and stop if it restricts your breathing at all.

DO NOT attempt to come out to your parents if doing so may put you in any danger. When you are an adult, you can leave home, transition, and be happy. It will get better, I promise <3

Trans Tip for showering with dysphoria

If you get dysphoria while showering because of your body, plug a night light in and turn off the large light, you'll still be able to see and get around while you'll also not have to see your body, making showering that little bit easier

Lesser known effects of Testosterone:

Just wanted to make a post for all my transmascs out there. I didn't have a great doctor when I started T, and I was very isolated from other queer people. For reference, Ive been on T injections for 9 months, on 25mg weekly (which is a low dose)

Most people know that your clit will grow while you're on T. I wanted to explain it in more depth because there's more to it than just that. Your clit can start growing as early as 2 months on T, and on average it'll grow 2-3 inches after 2 years of HRT. You will probably be able to get a mini erection. And for me personally, I found that the internal part of my clit would swell up when aroused. (Aka it might look like your lips are swolen, this is normal) Its also important to clean under the hood of your clit, because as time goes on it collects sweat/ toilet paper. Ive found the best method is to sit on the toilet, pull back the hood (or foreskin as I like to call it), and run a wet q tip over it. Be gentle because its sensitive af.

Your Vagina may be more dry than usual. If you experience pain durring penitrative sex, try using lube, or spending more time on foreplay. You can also use dialator dildos or take supplements. If pain persists, please talk to a doctor.

Your period probably wont just gracefully come to a stop (i know, I was disappointed too) you might think its gone, then 3 months later its back. I also had a light period that lasted for 3 weeks. As long as you're not experiencing profuse bleeding or extreme pain, its ok to just ride it out. It takes a minute for your body to get used to new hormones.

You're probably going to want to masturbate a lot. Its ok. No shame dude, T hits you hard on that front.

Your breasts will flatten out a bit. I went from a C to a B arround 6 months. Unfortunately they won't dissappear completely, but it sure as hell makes binding easier.

Ass crack hair. Imma just leave it at that.

Well, I hope this was helpful! Im really proud of all my transmascs out there. I know its scary sometimes, but yall are doing great. Also if anybody has trans questions or just wants to talk, my dms are always open! 💜

HOW TO CLEAN A BINDER 101

For beginners!

Washing binders is really important. For me personally, I do it about once every two weeks. However, learning how to do this correctly important, otherwise you run the risk of shrinking your binder. Hand washing your binder is important, because using a washing machine shrinks it and makes it unwearable.

- Run lukewarm water in a large container (bath, sink, bucket, etc). Don't fill it all the way to the top, keep it thin but deep enough to sink the binder in.

- Gently swirl in some gently washing detergent. I usually an 18-in-one washing liquid, but any liquid or shower gel will do! Use something preferably gentle, and use about two to three drops,

- Turn the binder inside out, and gently submerge it in water. Swirl it around gently for two minutes, focussing on the areas around the armpits and the front where the sweat reaches the most.

- Leave in the water for half an hour to two hours

- Once you deem it ready (or when you remember it for me), drain the liquid and wash off the soap with cold water. Leave to air-dry overnight, I usually use a clothes hanger and put it on my door and that works.

Always wash safely and by hand! All of these tips can be adjusted if you need to do it privately or without your parents finding out.
