Bringing out masculine features

Hi, I’m 15 with fairly feminine facial features. I’ve got no facial hair, and feminine bone and face structure.

I’ve been feeling very uncomfortable about this lately and I was wondering if anyone knew how to do things like enhance the jawline or make it look as though I have a beard/am shaving? I’ve already tried makeup (masculine contour) but that just made me feel worse.

I recently had someone refer to me as a woman and I was pretty upset about it. I prefer to present as masculine or androgynous, and dislike being viewed as feminine.

I think if you're trying to look more masculine the last thing you want to be doing is applying make-up...

You're 15. Give it time

I’m born female so time won’t really do much at this point
The makeup tip was from another trans guy but yeah that really didn’t work

Hey dude, I think a lot of it is haircut and clothing. I am a fair bit older than you but often get told/viewed as a teenage guy. I have no facial hair, and I'm not on T but sometimes wear a binder to make myself feel more comfortable with my body.

Good luck mate x

Time might make a difference depending on how things pan out in the future - i.e. if you decide to start taking testosterone etc. There's always options, and I can understand it must be disheartening at the moment, but try to think about a positive future.

Thank you! That gave me a little boost

try and gel your hair back mabye mate ?

Thanks, I’ll give that a try tomorrow!

Leave your face completely natural. Focus on hair and pay attention to the way clothing hangs on your frame.

That makes me happy to read that

bit longer term but in general males tend to have more muscular arms so maybe try some workouts? it might also help with the clothing thing 1582 mentioned e.g. shoulders (and no harm in exercising)

Thanks I just worry that my face will be too feminine no matter what I do with hair and clothes the female body seems to have an awful lot of extra fat compared to guys…


I wish I could rep you twice
