Expert Answer

I would gravitate more towards boxy, structured clothing, like t-shirts, jackets with shoulder pads, and thick denim jeans. Pair your outfit with bulky shoes like boots or sneakers.

Expert Answer

If you'd like a more masculine look, look for structured clothing like jackets with shoulder pads or thick denim jeans. When it comes to casual tops, stick with T-shirts. T-shirts are a good choice for self-presenting as a man, and it's fun to pick out shirts that align with your interests.

Question

How do I lose weight on my hips and broaden my shoulders?

Community Answer

You can always do more abdomen and weight lifting exercises. Avoid workouts that focus on your thighs and glutes. The weights will add muscle to your biceps and forearms, which will increase the broadness of your shoulders.

Question

I want to look like a boy but I have a bob haircut and I don't think I'm aloud to get a pixie cut please help

Community Answer

You can look like a boy in other ways. Try changing the way you dress and wearing more "male" style clothing. You can also try hanging out with boys and adopting a more "masculine" posture.

Question

How do I get my parents to call me by he/him pronouns?

Community Answer

Try asking your parents to sit down and have a conversation with you. Make sure you ask them when they're not stressed and completely focused on you. Then, calmly explain that you would like to go by he/him pronouns instead of she/her pronouns. You can ask them to do it just in your home or in public as well.

Question

How do I make my legs look skinnier?

Community Answer

The best thing to do is avoid tighter pants (such a skinny jeans) and go for something baggier. Black is also useful when it comes to hiding things about your appearance. Black pants are very common to find for men (baggy black jeans, shorts, and sweatpants, for example). You may even be able to find what you’re looking for in the women’s if you’re anxious about shopping in the men’s section.

Question

Is there a way for someone with very feminine features to look more masculine without surgery?

Community Answer

Really, lots of biological males have really feminine features, so the key part is presenting masculinely, and using clever clothing and hairstyles to accentuate and play down certain features. For me personally, I never realized just how much a haircut and some confidence could do. Try out different clothing and hairstyles, and be confident. Confidence is the difference between people seeing you as a guy or that nervous person trying to look like a guy.

Question

Can I get a tattoo of a pirate flag to make me look more like a boy?

Community Answer

You don’t need to get a tattoo to look like a boy, and you shouldn't get a tattoo just because you think it will make you look more masculine. But if you really want that tattoo just because you like it, then go for it.

Question

How do I make my hair look like long male hair as a girl?

Community Answer

Men usually have hair that isn't as layered as women's, and it tends to look less styled when it's long. You can grow it out and then cut it straight or with minimal layering and styling. If you wear it up, keep the ponytail low. Depending on the shape of your face and your features, it may be easier or harder to look male with long hair. Try combining your long hair with metalhead styles, or wear smart clothes that accentuate broader shoulders and a masculine look.

Question

Can I still wear skirts and hang out with my female friends if I want to look like a man?

Community Answer

Of course! People may be less likely to perceive you as male if you wear feminine clothing, but a simple statement like, "I'm a dude, I just like skirts," should be effective. And don't worry about hanging out with female friends; even men have female friends.

Question

How can I make my voice sound lower?

Community Answer

Try speaking from your chest voice, because this will naturally make your voice sound deeper immediately. You can also do vocal exercises that will train your vocal chords to be able to go lower. But be careful when doing vocal exercises, because they could damage your vocal chords. Just be sure to do your research and speak with your chest voice. There are plenty of videos on YouTube of how to do this. Also, if you go on testosterone, your voice will get deeper without you having to do anything.

Question

I’m pretty young and people don’t take me seriously when I tell them to use male pronouns. What do I do? How do I fix this?

Community Answer

Try to act and sound more serious, speak in a firm tone. It may take a while, but it should eventually work out. You can try to slowly ease it in, or just tell them full on, eventually they will take you seriously. Then you can tell your friends if you haven't already, so at some point you can be referred to as a male.

If you can, use a hat or a hoodie, and pin your hair out of sight. You can also fit your hair under a baseball cap, and have the cap backward so you can pile your hair on your head and have your tips coming out of the hole.
