what will I look like

[will13]

So I've been having some fears lately, perhaps irrational, that if I transition my resulting appearance will be horrid and I will look like a twelve year old boy for the remainder of my life.  I'm not sure if my features are girly or not, and some days I look in the mirror and appear to be more masculine looking, but other days I find myself looking more feminine.  I guess I just really want to know how I'll turn out.  I've tried face morphing galore, but to no avail.  I think this stems from the fear that I'll die alone-- what girl is gonna wanna date a 13-year old looking guy.  Kinda freaking out.  I posted a picture (wearing a hoodie lol, my hair is still long).  I realize in the end my appearance is not gonna make a different, but I guess I'm looking for advice on how to appear more masculine if I do transition.

dude, T will do most of the work for you. just make sure you're working out regularly to ensure good definition and you're set. seriously. i think you've got a great base so I'm sure you'll look like a boss bro. don't even worry about it.

There really is no way to know for 100% sure how T will effect you or what it will and will not do. There are some things like genetics that play a factor in what T will do. I'm sure you know all of the effects of taking it already. From my understanding there is no way to know 100% what you'll look like on T.

A lot of younger trans men look boyish for years, but I should think that age will catch up with them sooner or later. There really is no way to know, but I think it's very unlikely that you will look like a teenage boy for the rest of your life.

I've found that heavy guys who have a lot of fat located in the face, and guys with rounder features, sometimes seem to take longer to pass. But it might be that other facial features just come across as more feminine than masculine.

What can you do? If you do go on T, wait for it to do its work.

Hi will,

The most important thing you'll find out when you start 'T' is the way it starts to make you feel. You'll feel more boy than girl. If you work on this aspect and develop the boy " within" first, he'll then manifest himself outwardly, irrespective of how you look. Most girls look at the person not the looks and work on the relationship from there.

I'm sure you'll be fine. It could be a positive to look younger in any case. Just let T do its work and you'll be pleasantly surprised

Be safe, well and happy

There are happy things re: looking younger than your age. You will ALWAYS look younger than your age. Always-- even in your 40s, 50s, etc etc etc. Ok, if it is inconvenient now. You'll like it later. Promise.

I just turned fifty, and the only person who came even close to estimating my age was another trans man. He knew to add a few years. So far, nobody else thinks I've even hit forty.

But I can see the icy hand of age gripping me with its inexorable...uh, grip. In other words, I'm getting a bit gray at the temples, and I have a few wrinkles. Most are covered by the beard, though. I think that if I said I was forty, most people would believe me. They don't believe fifty.
