Natural Features Working In Your Favor

[King Malachite]

Before transitioning medically or for those who are pre-everything did you or do you have any natural features about your body that helped you look more masculine?

I know some guys here have the genetics to where they can get really hairy to the point where they can grow noticable facial hair, are very tall, have an above average down stairs area size, have a deep voice etc. all without even touching T.   Other examples include very small chest and hips etc.

Do you have any natural features that made you look more masculine?

I personally don't think I have any features that makes me look masculine.  I got the crappy end of the genetics....large thighs, big breasts, big butt, not-so-deep voice, average down stairs area, relatively short height, almost hairless on my body.  Almost everything about me screams out female lol.  T is going to have to put in overtime for me.

I'm not saying that all these things make a man or that a man needs all of these things but I would personally like to have them.

Well, I've always been sort of hairy.
I remember in fourth grade some girl actually teased me about having hair on my arms.

Now, my legs are hairier than my dad's.

I also have a rather masculine nose.

I don't know - I'm sure there are other things, but I'm not going to bother listing them.

My jaw is square (my facial shape is also considered square) and it helps a lot.  If I cut my hair I can either come off as androgynous or male, assuming I don't speak and have put on a binder.   I actually look a lot like my dad when I've cut my hair and am trying to pass as male. 

I can't think of any other features though there might be more.  I wish there were more.  It would make it easier for me.

Like Jason, I've always been very hairy.  I've also always had a very masculine jaw - to the point where I used to be accused of being a drag queen when I was in "girl mode".

[poptart]

Just that I've never had any sort of female-looking hips and I'm 5'8" (which isn't that tall, but it often is worse for others).

[Elijah3291]

well I guess for me mine would be kinda small hips, kinda small chest, and a "masculine" nose.. in other words big. haha or at least not a delicate girly one.

[Joeyboo~ :3]

Good:
Small shoulders.
Andro face, really could go either way, and look cute doing it.
Good genetics from my mom, dealing with hips and butt. Hopefully HRT will bring those out one day.
Nice long wavy hair, no hair loss.
Good eyebrows to work with.

Neutral:
Okayish height, still taller than most girls, only met one other Hispanic chick my height.
Never had bad genetics dealing with body fat or muscle, but I also didn't have a feminine body structure. I was just literally a stick.

Working against me:
Deep voice, gonna be a challenge training it.
Big veiny hands and feet.
Coarse body hair, all over my body.
Ribcage is pretty big, it juts out over my stomach, even when its full.

I have a pretty deep voice to begin with (I was constantly mistaken for my dad or brother over the phone), my hips are smallish, chest is near non-existent, a male-esque hairline and a bit of an Adams apple.  Also my nose is big and a little hooked so it looks less girly.

Unfortunately I have like a size 0 waist, tiny ribcage, really narrow shoulders, and minuscule hands and feet.  I can wear big shoes ok but not much to be done about the hands.

[Traivs]

I am pre everything right now haven't started T yet but I have some stuff working in my favor
Large hands( the same size or larger than a lot of my male co workers)
Large feet( size 10 mens pretty average for a man)
broad shoulders
Height(though shorter than the rest of my siblings i am over 5ft 10in which is about average i think or a guy)
I have been told i have always looked fairly masculine even before i came out by some of my oldest friends
So I am hopeful for things to get even better when I do start T

[Justin 21]

i'm pre everything and i pass about 80% of the time,even though i'm only 5,2", cause i have naturally broad shoulders,my chest isn't really large and my hips aren't as wide as my shoulders, and also my face looks very similar to my father.

[Keaira]

I lucked out a little too.

My voice is naturally feminine, no Adam's apple, my height (5'5), mannerisms.. Not sure about my face though. I get most of my looks from my Mum.

Bad side: I'm as stocky as a LOTR dwarf, dark facial hair, masculine hairline

[Devin87]

I've always had very thick eyebrows and a small mouth.  I think those help.  I've also always had very broad shoulders for a female.  When I was little my mom used to tell me I have "swimmer's shoulders".  I've also got defined muscles in my forearms and very hairy forearms.  The past few years I've been growing more and more facial hair naturally, although I don't let it grow too much since it's only in certain areas and so makes me look really young.  I've also got hair feet and toes, but I don't show those off, so they don't really help me pass.  They make me feel good, though.

Some bad things are the fact that I carry a lot of weight in my butt and, although my boobs aren't huge, they're big enough to have a little trouble hiding completely.  Also, I have a high voice and although I'm not short for a female, at about 5'6'' I feel very short for a male, which is weird for me since I'm used to being seen as being taller than most when I presented female.  I'm hoping testosterone can fix the butt and voice, at least.  The boobs I'll just have to wait on.

[Adio]

Hmm...honestly I can't think of anything.  I at least appeared androgynous in early transitioning (pre-T), so there must be something.  I suppose some unknown facial features helped me pass.  That coupled with my clothes and mannerisms.  I wish I could think of something!  I guess it doesn't matter now though lol

[Andy]

I am super lucky about a few things: huge shoulders, no hips, bushy eyebrows, pretty flat chest. My worst natural features are my "weak chin," small feet, the top of my butt which is always lumpy no matter how much I work out, and can you believe DIMPLES!!!! LOL

Other natural features that work in my favor in are the big park behind my house, with its woods, streams, waterfalls and.... oh and I have a nice view of the mountain.... . .

[Joeyboo~ :3]

My worst natural features are ... the top of my butt which is always lumpy no matter how much I work out

So if we could lipo that out and give it to me that'd be gr8.

[The Hawk]

For me, Pre-T I had an adam's apple, I was fairly hairy, had broad shoulders for a female, had a deep voice, and in general I passed physically.

The biggest thing I can think of that is working against me at the moment, is I have a VERY small waist. Makes me look like I have big hips at times even though my hips aren't that big lol. Even with T, my waist isn't getting bigger.
Also, I'm 5'7, which might not seem short, but I'm nearly the shortest in my family. Everyone else is like 5'10 +

[Darth_Taco]

Broad shoulders and kidney stones xD. Seriously, kidney stones are more common in males :'P. I'd gladly give 'em up for life though ;_;. My voice is also a bit on the deeper side, kind of like a young boy going through the beginning of puberty :'P. I use to speak at a higher pitch growing up, but when I came to terms with this whole mess I just said "->-bleeped-<- that" and began speaking in my natural voice again xD. My walk has never been feminine :'D.

My face is so weird. It can pass as either male, female, or androgynous depending on how I dress and have my hair o.o. No mater what, I'm attractive apparently! D: I don't wanna be an attractive female ;_;! Oh well, I'm hotter now ;'D. Unfortunately I still look like pedo fodder @_@. I probably don't help with the light-up shoes and Ninja Turtle shirts XP. Funny enough, my most feminine features like my eyes, long eyelashes, and I believe lips come from my father. Now all I need is some hormones to accentuate :'P.

Oh right, I also have a slight adam's apple. Might be because of my slightly deeper voice :'P.

[Natkat]

well, I won't say I got exactly something I would call as male features.. but I did have some points who wasnt the worst.

I am tall compared to girls, and small/same high as guys.
I didnt have a deep voice but I had got used to speak in a deep one,
I was kind of strong compared to girls, and had a small B cheast.

I think everyone got some male / female features about themself. but sure some are more lucky than others.

[InstantRamen]
