Passing Tips! #2

Disclaimer is the same as on my last post 

Hair

Transfemme: If you’re going for a more feminine look but on the shorter side, but aren’t in the right place to grow it long, get a pixie cut. Pixie cuts are often designed to accentuate the feminine features of the face because it’s a lot softer looking. You’re probably familiar with fades, but if you’re aiming for femme, especially if you’re pre everything, getting a fade may make you look more masculine. Also the pieces of hair that grow down around your temples? leave them there. If you’re at the stage where your body is growing facial hair, try not to let them become sideburns, but something that I’ve noticed is that they make my face look rounder because they intrude? on my face and kind of bulk out thr roundness of my face

Transmasc: If you can’t get your hair short, or want it longer, there are a few things you can do. First of all is the man bun, and it actually worked a few times when I had shoulder length hair. You can also get it undercut and then have the man bun but that’s totally up to you. Another thing is to wear your hair a little messier, to at least achieve ‘tomboy’. While I say messy, remember to practice good hygiene still. Dirty long hair is a pain and even though taking care of it may make you feel feminine (it did for me idk if it’s something others struggle with), it’s a lot of trouble to go through. I also have cis guy friends with well kept long hair and it looks great.

Again with the temple hair for transmasc people, if you can cut your hair short, get rid of the temple hair. It will grow back if you don’t like it but I find that it helps a surprising amount

Trans ftm pre-t passing master post

There are a lot of tips I’ve discovered after being out of the closet for so long, and I wanted to share them with you because all the passing tips I see online are all extremely vague.

Hair - 

-Long hair is hard to deal with if you can’t get your hair cut for some reason. For years, I had shoulder length hair because I couldn’t get it cut. If you have long hair, keep it messy. I personally tried to justify my long hair by saying it was all part of my “look”. I dressed like a skater guy cause I know it’s more common for skater guys to have long hair. 

-Cis guys don’t tend to have parts in their hair. If you have long hair, try keeping it out of your face so that your hair part isn’t super visible. 

If you’re planning on getting your hair cut,

- Don’t go super short!! Short hair will bring out your facial structure. Your hairline isn’t masculine yet. A shave close to your scalp will accentuate your feminine features. I’m talking buzz cuts. Quiffs don’t work very well either. Your hairline is very close to your eyes, and people will subconsciously notice that.

- If you want to get your hair cut but can’t due to parents, just get your hair cut on your own with your own money. Or get a friend to cut it for you. I've been contemplating doing this for years, but a few months ago I finally went to a barber to get it cut. I showed him a picture of Cole Sprouse, and he knew what to do. 

-Stay away from using makeup to create masculine features. It’s very obvious when you wear makeup. Instead, work on using your facial muscles to convey a more masculine face. You can furrow your eyebrows slightly, suck your cheeks in, and push your jaw out. This will work a lot better than makeup because it will look natural. 

Clothes:

Binding - If you’re trying to get a binder, ask a friend to order it for you and pay them back. You can also get a visa card from the dollar store and put 35$ on there and order a binder (from GC2B, of course) and have it get shipped to a friend’s house. What I did for a few months was make my own binders, But only because I was desperate. I got a thick cotton shirt and cut it around the chest area and sewed it to an ace bandage. I put the makeshift binder on so that the cotton was in the front and the ace bandage was in the back. This is not a safe method, but it does the trick for the time being. 

When you get your binder, wear it only for a few hours at a time. It’s going to be super tight, but over a few months, it’ll get significantly looser. Once it’s much looser, you can bind for dozens of hours at a time and not be negatively affected. Be sure to take it off before bed! GC2B binders are also totally washing machine and dryer safe. 

Shirts - hoodies are your best friend. They cover all curves. Stock up on as many as you can! As for shirts, get ones that have a small neck hole so your binder doesn’t show. I like cotton that’s thinner because they don’t hug my body as much. 

Pants - Lots of people say to stay away from skinny jeans. That’s not true, unless you’re wearing girls’ skinny jeans. Then of course stay away from those. But men’s skinny jeans and khakis do wonders. However, it’s important that the shorts and pants you wear aren’t too loose. Adidas track pants are also great! For warm weather, I tend to lean towards shorts that fall slightly above the knee.

Socks - guys usually wear long sporty socks that end halfway up the calf. I don’t like that style, so I wear socks that end where the bottom of my calf starts. (Quarter socks) pleeeaaase stay away from headass printed socks. Those are typically seen as feminine.

Shoes - I find that bigger, bulkier shoes are help you pass well. My go to brand currently is Nike. Air force ones are super masculine and give the illusion that your feet are bigger and they go well with pants that are a little big for you because they hide leg curves. Canvas shoe material is very thin and you don’t see many teenage guys wearing high top Converse too often. Besides, they hug your feet and they’ll make you look tiny. 

Mannerisms -

Almost everything you do can be gendered which sucks, but it also allows you to take advantage of them to help you pass better. There’s way too many to write down, but the general idea I follow is to make sure you take up more space with your body, and less with your mouth. What I mean by that is to sit bigger. Manspread. Take up room. On the other hand, try to avoid rambling or going off in conversation. Stay more reserved. 

Voice - There’s not much that can help for your voice except to try to speak from your chest rather than your head. It takes a while to make it into a habit, but it’s very helpful because having a feminine voice is one of the things that will make people assume you’re female. Clearing your voice before you speak is very important, especially if you’re deliberately lowering it because if you speak low before clearing it, it’ll crack a lot. 

That’s all I can think of for now. If I come up with other stuff later on, I’ll put it in here!

Peecock Gen 3S Review

Okay, this one's a long-un.

So I'll be talking about what I feel needs to be mentioned, but will try to keep descriptive language of afab genitalia to the absolute minimum. However will be using amab genitailia language. Will warn if I feel it's necessary. PLEASE tell me if you think I should tag this, as I'm unsure.

First off,

Packing

So I got the 4.75 inch, and it's easier to pack with than I thought. *WARNING BOUT TO TALK ABOUT MALE PRIVATES* I just push the shaft over the balls and it creates a nice package, not too obvious but not so subtle either. I wear either trunks or hipster boxers, as woven boxers are hard to create the 'package' as it just hangs.

Peeing

So it took a while to get used to, I've had it for a week and have figured out the idea way to pee. It was frustrating at time and I was frequently covered in piss. I position it a little further back than I pack with, and lean forward slightly. I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO LEAN FORWARD A BIT. Sometimes I worry it'll flow out the back, but it's important to recognise you can just feel the heat from the urine, not actual urine flowing out the back. Trust me, you'll know the difference. Try to pee slowly, or stop peeing periodically to let it drain. Don't do what I did and let loose with a full bladder. Did not end well.

Playing

Now, this is quite personal but it needs to be covered. Probably should mention I'm pre t and have no bottom growth. So yeah. I have a cis female gf, and I have not tried to penetrate her yet. I'm getting used to things first. I bought the gen 2 erection rod, as I heard the kit squeaks. When jerking off, have patience. I got very frustrated as I was too focused on finishing that I went numb. Weird, but it happend. Just stay in your mindset, and try a few things. That being said, pulling it up, off your junk and then back on, feels the best for me. That's all I'm saying on the matter.

Side note- For the ejaculation feature, if you don't have access to a needle to fill up the rod, just squeeze all the air out of it and suck up the fluid like that.

Harness

I bought the miracle jockstrap harness, as you can see and touch the *WARNING GENITALS MENTIONED* ballsack. While I like this, and feel it was the best choice, I've had to sew some of the stitching back together, as after even 3 days it started to break. Easily fixed but very annoying.

Postage info and other bits

I live in South Wales, Uk. I paid for the standard airmail, and was prepared for a long wait and heavy customs. It came in, I kid you not, 4 days. 4. DAYS. And cost me 0 in customs. I cannot guarantee this for everyone, but that's what happend to me.

I wash it once or twice a day with mild tea tree soap, and that seems to be enough.

The paint has faded, but it still looks realistic and matches my skin better. (Light beige) (Uncut)

I guess that's all I have to say about it.

In conclusion

I don't regret my purchase, and it's helped a lot. But I'm on the fence if it was worth 200 quid. That's 100% honest. It will be the test of time that determines that factor.

Well, that's enough of me banging on. Hope this helps!

FTM Encouragement

• NEVER LOSE HOPE. One day, you will start testosterone. Even if you have to wait to turn 18, even if you can’t afford it right now, even if you’re scared. You will start one day. • DONT LET ANYONE MISGENDER YOU. Even if it’s your teachers, parents, friends, do not let anyone misgender or deadname you. If you let them think it’s okay, you are proving it’s okay, and therefore saying they can disrespect any trans person. You are who you are, and be proud of it! • THIS BODY IS ONLY TEMPORARY. Be patient! Even if you’re on T, changes take months to happen. Fear not, they will come. If you’re sad about your hips, try exercising to lose some weight on them! Or if you don’t like your chest, do the same or try to bind (please use gc2b, underworks isn’t meant for the use of trans people and their binders will hurt you) • PRACTICE SELF LOVE. It’s so hard, but tell yourself that you are beautiful every day, and it will become easier. Even if starting T makes you hate yourself less, it’s good to try to love yourself in the first place. Believe me, if you do that, starting T will only make it better. That’s all for today, and I hope it helps!

Hey dude ! Don't worry it's gonna be okay :) Here is a list of tips I can give you to appear more masculine :• if you don't own a binder, a sport bra can do the trick if you wear a low-key oversized shit ! Just make sure to stay safe• don't underestimate the power of clothes ! A nice button up and a black jean (not skinny if you have rather wide hips and butt) looks really good and masculine. If it's kinda official, you can wear a tie to !• use masculine perfumes and deodorant. This is a little thing but it can always help you !• if you are comfortable wearing make-up, I made a post about masculine make up not to long ago ! Just search for it :) (if you're lazy like me here is a small recap : darken your eyebrows ; foundation powder on lips if yours are rosy ; countouring in an angular way)• try to walk and act like mens usually do, take space, don't walk balancing your hips and spread your legs when you sit.That's all I can think about right now ! If any followers have more idea, feel free to send in !Good luck anon !! - Zac xx

Little passing tips (for masc aligned folk)

So we all know the major things to do to help us pass (wear masc clothes, have short hair ect) but recently I've figured out some little things to do that help me pass so much more.

Easy DIY Tips

1. Want a more square jawline? While clenching your jaw is good, it carries a lot of tension and sometimes can make your jaw look more rounded. Instead, place the tip of your tongue under your two front teeth; then trap it between your lower teeth, bringing your whole jaw a little bit forward.

Do not bite your tongue.

Just move your bottom jaw that tiny bit forward. This helps to elongate your face and make it look more square, whilst also highlighting that super sharp jawline you have!

2. Wear a beanie hat. I wear a black 'burglar' beanie hat, and since I started wearing it, I haven't been misgendered much by strangers. Like honestly, I'm pretty sure this has quite literally been the difference between passing and not.

3. Jeans are cool, but wearing work trousers hides your hips, butt and thighs. (Not that there's anything wrong with your hips, butt or thighs. They are lovely.) Also the deep pockets are awesome. I get to wear these often and the baggyness around my boots male me feel better.

4. Speaking of boots, work or walking boots can give you that little extra height whilst also looking more manly. I highly reccomend them.

5. Back to jeans, i wear jeans from the mens section, and they are a blessing. They are usually a bit looser (I reccomend slim fit for stylish yet practical) and have lots of room down front.

6. Use more 'masculine language' For example:

Me: Gets on bus, asks male driver for ticket - "A single to town please, mate." Hands driver money

Driver: "Alright cheers fella" Gives me ticket.

See? It's just little things like that that could make you pass a little big more.

Remember, passing helps trans people survive. Don't try to pass if it (100%) won't work, bc you might be in danger
