My passing advice/tips, now that I've been out as trans for nearly 4 years:

Signal that you plan on passing.

Look over your shoulder to check your blind spots.

Never drive off the paved or main-traveled part of the road to pass.

Never pass on the left if the driver ahead is signaling a left turn.

When turning left, do not assume that an oncoming vehicle with its right turn signal on is turning before it reaches you.

Hope these tips could be helpful! I've learned a lot in the past few years and wanted to share :)

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.

Friendly reminder that not all trans people who transition have the goal of passing.

Not all trans people want to look cis.

Not all trans people want to take hormones.

Not all trans people want to have surgery.

Not all trans people change their name or pronouns.

And that's all okay.

I just watched a YouTube video and I'm livid. It was about this trans woman named Lilly and she was recording herself getting misgendered in public/restaurants. Everyone was saying she should try to pass more instead of correcting people. BRUH YALL TELLING ME DECENT RESPECT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY IF YOU DONT PASS? I'm so angry rn. My gf doesn't pass. It will probably will take YEARS to get there, and that's if she gets surgery and vocal training. It boggles me that people asking for basic decency is looked down on bc they don't "pass" enough. I'm so sick of passing culture. Cool if you like it tho, I just hate it rn.

Edit: I'm a trans man (genderfluid too) not a trans woman. (making this known bc I feel like talking about trans women issues as a trans man is a bit weird. I feel like I should've woken my gf up to ask what her opinions were)

To all transmasc people who can't bind

Hey, I feel your pain as a transguy with easily irritated skin and bad shoulders. But over the years I learned how to deal with breast dysphoria without binding and I wanted to share that knowledge! (Keep in mind that I'm a 170cm white twink and not all of this will apply to everyone)

Don't and I mean don't wear bras. I know some people think that's the only alternative to binders, but there are way better options. I would always recommend sports bustiers over sports bras, especially the ones that don't have a "décolleté" (you might find them with the swim wear)

You probably heard this before, but let me emphasize, that layers are your best friend. I absolutely recommend a sweater jacket + jean jacket combo, it doesn't only look really good and let it look like you have broad shoulders, when you get too hot you can take off one jacket and still have layers that hide your chest

If it's too hot to wear layers, regularly tuck on your shirt to loosen it, if it sticks to your body, it emphasizes the shape of your chest

Focus on your other body parts! I, for example, pass pretty well, except for my chest. But because I look very masculine in general (well except for one thing) people still always assume I'm a guy. In summer I would recommend loose shorts (cloth ones are the most comfortable in my opinion), in winter I'd recommend cargo pants. Go for a more masculine hairstyle (masculine doesn't necessarily mean short), let your body hair grow out, use men's deodorant and do some voice training

Be confident! Pretend like you're not constantly dysphoric as f!ck, act really confused when someone misgenders you (like that never happened to you before), there are countless body types in men, and even some cis men look like they have boobs, if you pretend that you pass, people won't question it either

You don't need to present masculine to be valid, but as a masculine presenting trans guy I know that it helps a lot of us with dysphoria. I hope I could help you out a bit.

Remember to stay hydrated!

Guys just had the best experience ever ok so I was out to dinner with my family and I was wearing my orange hawk moth button up shirt and our waiter said ‘omg silence of the lambs!?! Your shirt reminded me!’ And he gendered me correctly the whole time.

I passed and Hannibal mention what could be better.

I've recently passed for the first time and it made me super happy & I wanna share that!!

I was at the supermarket, buying everything I needed for the week and this guy behind me only had like three things, so I waved him infront of me.

[I always do that, when I have lots of stuff in my cart and the person behind me has so little to check out].

The guy thanked me and complimented the tattoo I have on my finger stump (a dotted line & a pair of scissors) and he kept calling me "dude" and "bro".

I got so ridiculously giddy haha

I passed in public today

I had go to the clinic and the lady behind the counter obviously read me as male. She referred to me as he/him & whenever seeing my deadname on my insurance card, she pronounced it as if it was the masculine version of that name (they are spelled pretty similar, but pronounced differently). Like, that ain’t my name either, but it’ll do.

Passing as a guy in gym class is so weird. It looks like I’m a random dude hanging out in the girl’s gym class and just… yeah. I dislike it

Actually, while I’m on this, I’ll say something about passing with gender too:

Yes, we can acknowledge that outside perceptions of gender identity can be part of it, but cis people, you do not get to tell us in the trans community what passing means to us. The term is by the trans community for the trans community. We use it to communicate our own experiences and fucking with that is a gross thing to do.

So, my friends and I are planning on starting a GoFundMe this weekend to help me buy things I need to transition. Like a good packer, binder, trans tape, things for pre-T, ect. I added it up and for everything I "need" or want to overcome my dysphoria, it's around 400-450. My friends suggest to go higher but idk about that. And if I got extra money, I want help others too.

But the thing is, I feel bad for taking others money as well as for something so simple while others are trying for something more serious and important, like surgeries and hrt.

Idk what to do because the guilt is eating me alive but so is the dysphoria.

never tell a trans person what they can and can't safely do

If I decide it's not safe for me to use a specific public restroom, don't try to change my mind. I know what I'm talking about.

I have been framed as a predator before, merely for using the restroom. I know when I should avoid using certain public men's spaces to avoid meeting certain transphobes there to avoid unnecessary drama and conflict. It's great that you think that noone will care. It shows that you don't care that I'd be there. But you need to understand that I'm the best judge of knowing when I might be in risk of getting physically/verbally harrassed.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk
