So... I've noticed me and other FTM people have legs like this: )(

I don't know if it's because of leg fat or what, but it really bothers me. I'd like to know if there is a solution for this problem because it's more common for women and I think it makes my passing more difficult...

Guys can have leg fat like that too. People aren't going to pay attention to your legs, but if it really bothers you, you can work on posturing your legs differently, walking differently and the likes. I'm not really sure what else to say other than if it bothers you a lot that maybe to be comfortable you may need to workout and make your legs a bit leaner if you can't find it comfortable to stand differently. but I can say not all guys have a gap.

Do you mean while standing or walking though?

I'm not really sure what you mean, is that supposed to be part of the leg, or the whole leg?

While standing.
I do try to stand differently, but it doesn't work at all... I don't know, maybe my legs are crooked...

Like "c".

I've no idea. maybe its how your hips are??

but maybe it could be your knees. Do they face inward? try and make them face outwards. Eventually you'll become comfortable in that stance.

C looks like it would originate from a combination of three things.
1. "Q" angle (Google "Q angle" if curious, I would foul up trying to explain this)
2. Possibly thigh mass
3. Position of legs and feet

This appearance can be somewhat mitigated by standing with feet at least shoulder width apart and pointing feet outwards more. Wolfy raises a good point, if the knees are turning inwards this would add to that appearance.

I think they face inward a little.
I already try this...

Do You think physiotherapy would help?

Well, I think it may be a combination of those three things, You're right!
Sorry to bother you and the other guys... and thank you for your help, I think I know what to do now.

No bother, it's a support forum. We're all here to help each other out. If you want, let us know how it works out for you.

If it helps, my father has stance C, as do I. I'm not sure of the actual term but down in the area my family is from (Kentucky, US) we call it being pigeon toed. I don't know why. It's the same with how me and my dad walk. I've read so many times that men don't move their hips as much, but my father does, which helped me stop worrying. He's a big ol' ex military man and he's about 900% "man". From my understanding for me and him its due to our growth in  early childhood. My dad and I were both very short as children and at around 13 we both had very drastic growth spurts which caused some separation of the joints in our knees.

Don't be worried about asking questions round here. It's a support forum. We are all here to help out each other.
