Hey guys-
Still in early stages of gender counseling, only just starting to work to masculinize my appearance. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm 5'3", with a moderately feminine face, and an ungodly 34D chest.
I don't have much of any money! I'm looking into a cheap binder, but any fashion tips to just look manlier?
I've been doing 30 minutes of weight training 4 times a week, dead lifts, etc., and I'm slowly seeing gains in that area, at least.
For some reason, I think I'm too new to the site to actually put up a photo though, maybe when I have I'll add one.

PS- Thanks for any advice you have to give!
Welcome to the forums Handrew!
The best I can recommend if you don't have a binder is the advice I usually give - smaller sized sports bras with LOTS of layers. Works well during colder months. Don't put yourself through ace bandages - those are bad news and can cause ungodly amounts of problems for transmen. Generally it's good to keep your hair short unless you have a really masculine face to begin with (some pre-T transmen do and so they can get away with longer styles). If you wear glasses, I suggest square frames (like mine) because due to their angularity they masculinize the face.
That's all I can really think of right now. If you want to upload a photo and you're brave enough to have your photo scrutinized, here's the Official "Do I Pass" thread. https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,90139.740.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,90139.740.html) I apparently don't pass because I have a round face, lol, but there's not much I can do about that one. :laugh:
Have fun exploring the forums. Welcome aboard.
