Natural Features Working In Your Favor

[Vin]

I've always been very broad and quite hairy. Hm, my face can be read either way, which could be worse. I'm not sure what else I have that helps.

[KamTheMan]

Me: 6'3, deep voice, a-cup, broad shoulders

[smittyFTM]

Pre T, well I  was always pretty muscular & athletic, not super hairy but I quit shaving my legs after high school so they've always been pretty hairy, sort of broad shoulders, I had B-cup boobs.

I'd been "mistaken" for a boy since I was about 16, even with longer hair & boobs. Women had been giving me a hard time in the ladies' room ("eeeek there's a boy in here!" ) for about as long.

So--I guess I was lucky, looking back.

[anibioman]

yes the girls on my moms side are naturally skinny with broad shoulders the women on my dads side are tall my aunt is 5'11, im 5'10 (and still growing) also i have very unruly thick eyebrows. also according to my doc i have a great frame for building muscle. i have a pronounced brow and super orbital sockets (side of your eye). i have crazy big feet size mens 9, my dads a size 12, moms a 9 women's, little bro is an 11. small moobs.

some genetic features working against me are my wrists are super skinny and i have small hands. i have high and pronounced cheek bones.

[Natkat]

there small campared to men but too big for women.

women sizes are between 36 - 41,
males are around 42 - 46
and I am a 42 - 43

Even before T I had almost no chest to speak of and very slim hips...my body in general is just pretty masculine although I'm more willowy rather than angular.  Before starting T the things that worked aginst me were always my long neck and graceful facial features, which is why I kept my hair somewhat longish and shaggy....but it was mostly my big eyes and my voice that kept me from passing, ugh.  Unless I was using an accent of some sort, and then for some reason I would magically pass more 

[N.Chaos]

I had a baby mustache coming in by 5th or 6th grade. Chin hair started pretty soon after that, and while its still annoyingly light-colored, its absolutely, pretty easily visible. Which makes me quite happy.

I never had any hips up until about a year ago when I gained a ridiculous amount of weight, which really pisses me off now. Aside from that though, my fat has always distributed directly to my gut and that's about it, so that's at least better than being curvy (even now I'm more lumpy than anything).

If I let all my hair grow untouched, my sideburns grow down to the bottom of my jaw, my arms and legs are significantly hair, and I've got my dearly beloved voice. Really, the only physical thing I can say I truly like about myself is my voice. I was being mistaken for my dad over the phone by age 13, and have needed to repeatedly verify who I was supposed to be on the phone to my bank.

[bballshorty]

I have a lower voice, a pseudo-adam's apple, hair everywhere, and I walk/talk like a guy. However, I am short, can't pack on muscle, and have very small hands

[Henri]

I am hairy... and apparently I have a great susceptibility for hair growth, because I've been on T for only a few months and already have a significant under beard. My legs were like carpets before T.
Also voice Pre-T was in the fairly low range so I could pass with it if I didn't get too excited. Now it's starting to get a nice rumble to it... hope that keeps improving.
Small chest. A bit too large to pass as moobs for my weight, though. Bummer.

Cons are my bum and thighs. That is my major problem area that I just want to go awaaaaay. Fat redistribution, work your magic... Of course it would help if I worked out my upper body some more to broaden my shoulders. That is on my to-do list.
Also I am 5'4". I don't much mind being short, though.

[DeadBoy]

I have broad and muscular shoulders if i'm to believe my grand-father. I also have thick, manly eyebrows, large hands (even as a baby people would make comments about my large hands) and in certain lights the peach fuzz on my face looks kinda dark. And i have also inherited my fathers athletic physic and metabolism. If i start to exercise on a regular basis i lose weight and bulk up pretty fast.

On the other hand i'm cursed with very feminine hips and thighs and what some would call a "bootie".

[go..ogle]

I have a fairly small chest which has worked out great. I wish it was completely flat but I know I'm really lucky for having only a small amount of "fat" to have to deal with in that region.

[Squirrel698]

People often say I'm blessed in the genetics department.

My face naturally is longer and more ambiguous I believe
I'm average height for a guy, 5'10"
I have broad shoulders
My hips were noticeably narrower after I started T
My chest isn't huge so my binder doesn't have to be to tight
Hairy belly but no hair on chest and back ( I don't know if that helps me pass but I like it)
My arms and legs are hairy now after 2 years and I like the veins on my arms, hands and feet
Finally getting some thickness and color in my beard

Disadvantages
I naturally have lower muscle tone so packing on muscle has been a struggle
I put on about 10 lbs recently so my hips are sticking out more
Smaller hands and feet which have been commented on before

[insideontheoutside]

All I got is that I'm androgynous and ambiguous.

[Julian]

All I got is that I'm androgynous and ambiguous.

Me too. Though in my case, that's very helpful.

[bballshorty]

Me: 6'3, deep voice, a-cup, broad shoulders

Very jealous. Spare us a few inches? =P

[Stealthy]

Positives:

Smaller chest
Apple shape
Masculine nose, kinda androgynous chin?
Something on my neck that looks sort of like an Adam's apple if you stare at it enough (totally not wistful thinking )
'Manly' hands (apparently)
Decently sized feet (8/9)
Fairly hairy

Negatives:

Feminine voice
Noticably large hips
Very large eyes (I'm basically an anime character there)
Short (5'2"-5'3")
Narrow shoulders
Thin eyebrows

[insideontheoutside]

Me too. Though in my case, that's very helpful.

Oh I'm not complaining either. Would be nice though if I could finally overcome not letting the way people address me (ex: the evil that is "ma'am") bother me!

[Prince Sal]

Pro's
broad shoulders
what we've dubbed as 'evil eyebrows', I could almost be a super villain with these suckers
even though I'm Pre-T I can grow facial hair on my chin, upper lip, sides of my face, chest (only a few strands. I am always disappoint), and a prominent 'happy trail'.
I can easily mask what curves I have, since I do have some extra weight it gives me a 'board-like' apperance, rather than curves
masculine walk (made sure of that, I saw the way my sisters hips moved when she walked as was all 'O_O not for me')
eyelashes and nails (a woman said to me the other day after seeing how long my nails were 'how come guys always have long nails and eyelashes!)
Feet (size 9 1/2-10 mens)

Con's
Big chest (we're talking DDs here! ;_; I bind, but I can only do so much)
Voice. It's deeper than the women in my family, but compared to most, not as deep as the average man.
round face (I got carded buying a lighter the other day because of it >_<)
hour glass. When I have lost weight before, and taken measurements I was 40-30-40. Not happy about that at all. That said, I don't mind my hips that much (except my swollen right side) but I'd rather me 30-30-40.
Did I mention the chest? Can I rip these suckers off yet?
Height, I'm 5'8, and while that's pretty average, my dad is 6'4, and I'm all kinds of jealous.


Even before I was binding I was able to pass sometimes at like restaurants when the menu was big enough to hide the two growths, or with children (which is the oddest part, I think I just confused them). Now that I do bind, and grow my facial hair out I pass a lot more. My voice still gives me away sometimes, I'm hoping that once I get on T not only will that deepen, but that I will grow a beard like an effin lumberjack. ^_^

[Noah James]

Advantages:
- I'm pretty hairy - got that from my father's side and was actually made fun of for it back in elementary school.
- Boyish face.
- Broader shoulders.
- My feet are on the big side as far as women's sizes go.
- Average eyebrows.

Disadvantages:
- I'm the shortest one in my family, standing at 5'4". My older sister is significantly taller than me (5'10") and my younger sister by five years is 5'5" (still growing). My mother is 5'6" and my father is 6'0". I've been told I'm done growing.
- High pitched voice that cracks a ton (I can only get it down to a relatively masculine tone when I'm completely calm and relaxed).
- A very feminine figure - tiny waist and ribs, big moobs, girl butt.
- Small, soft hands
- Long eyelashes.
- "Dainty" neck.

[Frank]

Pros:
Really thick eyebrows. Those suckers could develop a life of their own.
A generally manly face that is probably the reason I've been sir'd all my life.
Very, very hairy stomach.

Cons:
Moobs that are next to impossible to hide. (I'd even skip bottom surgery or any other surgery if these were gone.)
Middle range voice but I'd rather not use it at all.
