Ok so I may sound like a complete idiot, but I'm frantic about this..
So I turned 18 in July..

So it turns out by the time I start T it'll either be months from now or at 19 all together.
I've always been skinny all my life and it's helped me pass alot!
(no curves, narrow hips, hardly any thigh fat)
I'm actually scared my hips will start too get bigger or become curvaceous..
The thing is my mom and dads family has women with curvy bodies.
I guess it runs with the females in the family except me for some reason.
Like I was the only female bodied person in both families with no hips or curves.
I was reading about how some females usually get wider hips around 16 -18 and I'm literally freaking out..

I'm not trying to sound offensive or vain, but it's really helped me pass for years, I love wearing guy skinny jeans as well and I don't wanna change my whole style to cover curves.. It makes me sick just thinking about my body becoming feminized..
I been trying to get on T for some time but I don't think I will anytime soon..

I hope I don't sound like a moron, and please tell me if I'm just freaking over nothing or if this is something I should freak out about!

It all depends on when that happens in your family. Mine didn't spread until about age 23.

It doesn't always follow that everyone will have the same body shapes as their relatives. All the women in my family are super short and I'm much taller, everyone is a brunette and I'm blond. I think I was around 20 when my hips came in fully and sadly mine are typically larger than the women in my family, but you'd be surprised how well they are hidden by the fact that I got boarder in the shoulders with T. A friend of mine has pretty substantial hips but after a few months of working out, you can't tell, even shirtless.

But, what I'm getting at is that you aren't doomed to a certain body shape. It might mean that you have to work out or change your style drastically if you get some development,  but it isn't something that will doom your ability to pass.

I've always had what my mum unkindly referred to as 'child-bearing hips'; the sort of wide hips that are supposedly perfect for childbirth. And I've had those kind of hips since I was about 9 years old.

Since starting T (at age 41, I might add) my hips have slimmed down significantly. T does cause a redistribution of body fat, and one of its effects is to take fat off the hips & thighs - making both smaller - and to move it to the midriff instead, thickening out your waist. It certainly did that with me... and I pass 100% despite starting my transition late in life and despite having used those child-bearing hips for that exact purpose.

Seriously, if you're still only 18 and will probably start T in the next year or so, you're in a much better position than a lot of people here and you'll probably be astounded by the way T will masculinise you. So please try not to worry... and remember that there are plenty of cis guys with wide hips and nobody ever questions their gender either. Seriously... google 'men with wide hips' and you'll see pictures of cis guys that will surprise you.

Also, working your lats, obliques & core can help balance out the upper body & waist area making the hips appear more in proportion.

Actually,  as FTMDiaries said,  there are lots of men with hips. My old man is one of them.

Agree with this 100%.

I heard "guys who have wide hips" and was drawn to the thread...

I'm AMAB, and was technically, and unknown to be, intersex (had a functioning ovary hanging out, but external genitals were/are developed enough that I got AMAB) without knowing it until I was about 34. Consequence of that is that I had near AFAB levels of estrogen all through puberty as well as  SLIGHTLY low AMAB levels of testosterone and...

...the end result is that I have wide shoulders (40"), a narrow waist in comparison and wide hips; like a good almost 10" difference. 34" waist, 43" hips with a curvy backside and thighs to go with it. 
I'm pretty close to a perfect hourglass, and I am most definitely a guy.

The high estrogen levels gave me what's typically seen as 'female' fat distribution, so most of my body fat collected in my hips, lower abdomen, butt, and thighs until very, very recently.
I also had breasts (large B cup) until I had those removed 2 months ago, am fairly short, and most of my features are pretty androgynous and can easily go either way depending on how I dress, do my hair, or whether or not I wear makeup.


Even with that, the majority of the time, even when I had the breasts, and even with the big ol' hips, I get seen as male.


Once the ovary was removed, and my estrogen levels started to fall, I did notice that my body fat redistributed itself a bit; my hips are still pretty prominent to me but others have told me they look slimmer than they used to, and I do notice that pants that were previously really tight in the hips and thighs fit a bit better—still haven't lost weight, it just shimmied around and I think resettled on my abdomen.
That change is without me adding extra testosterone to correct my slightly low natural levels. If I were to add testosterone to boost my low natural levels, I'm sure it'd move about even more and slim them down even more.d

TL;DR: The others are correct what's been said about workouts to focus on and that testosterone (no matter how late it's added in) will help to redistribute fat away from the hips, and that there are guys out there that do have wide hips.

I can confirm at 6 months on T fat is definitely moving off my hips ... and landing on my belly. I see a lot of treadmill in my future. 

Thanks for the replies, they do help!
I have major hip paranoia.. I'd I just never found it attractive on a guy, but if it happens it happens..
At least T will bring it back down if push comes too shove right?
