physically, at the moment, i do not look the least bit angrogynous except for my man-shoulders.  just like a semi-crossdresser.  i know that if i lose weight and wear a body binder, ill be good from the neck down.
my face is another story. it's a dead giveaway that im female, even if i dont wear makeup. i dont have a masculine anything on my face.  is there anything i can do about this? hiding my upper face with hair doesn't help, either, as i have a pointy-ish girly chin and girly mouth.

im not sure if this is even in the right place.

is there anyway i can minimize the feminine aspects of my face, or am i just out of luck?

Who knows, you could just turn out to be one of those guys with boyish good looks.  A little swagger in your steps and a chip-on-your-shoulder attitude and you could pull it off.

Just act embarassed about it all when someone you are attracted to says something about it...they'll eat it up.

We're glad you could join us, and any kind of question is fine as long as it follows the site guidelines.  I look forward to hearing more about you and your journey.

thanks.

my nose is broken now so i guess that is a bit less girly than my normal nose O_o

Yeah, broken noses tend to make one look a little less femme unless your bandage says Care Bears, My Little Pony or Hannah Montana.

You need to find one that says NHL or "You should see the other guy"

Oh yeah, Hot Pink and Neon Green are probably not good choices either.

A haircut can do wonders.  ...I hope your nose is all right...

Laurry is correct. A swagger in your step and talk about football, NASCAR, wrestling, etc. Attire makes a big difference. Many macho guys can be real "A" holes. I don't reccomend that part. Being chivalrous is good. Open doors for all we MTF's. Larry the cable guy would be a good mentor.

This is why I shouldn't be sipping coffee when I read these posts.
Just practice the following line with a southern drawl;

"They say cellphones put microwaves in your body. This guy used one and pooped out a hot pocket. I'm sorry Lord... GIT-R-DONE!!!"

Oh, that's no Southern drawl (that's an insult to Southern drawls! ).  That's over the top hick speak.    Everyone learns it from country singers and nascar drivers.

hah! 

Bushy eyebrows, unkept and straggly. All guys have thick eyebrows (sorry for the generality there )
Girls really define their face with shaped eyebrows. But also swagger, take  :laugh:no s**t attitude. And when you are on T grow a beard, most guys with beards grow them to hide the chin.

LoL

"A little swagger in your steps and a chip-on-your-shoulder attitude"; "talk about football, NASCAR, wrestling, etc."; "take  :laugh:no s**t attitude"! Yuck! Who would want to be like that? Who would want to be with someone like that?

Oops, my prejudices are showing. I would not want to be mistaken for that gender; I would not want to be that gender. What else is available?

Oh, and some have beards because there are other actions more fun and meaningful than shaving.

Apologies for my lack of tolerance,
S

i like shaving, but hair irritates my sensitive face

Hey, I never said that anyone should aspire to be like that, only that wearing those stereotypes as a cloak would help disguise an otherwise girlish face.  I guess I also should have added building up a "dunlap"...your cooking sounds like it would do the trick extremely well (makes me hungry just reading your posts).

As far as beards, 3 more options on why one may choose to wear them (based on my own experience)
1.  A good beard hides a multitude of perceived facial flaws (like my overbite and "weak" chin)
2.  Sometimes I'm just too dang lazy to shave everyday, so it is "whiskers" for a few months
3.  I also wear a beard when I feel I am looking a little too femme and want to "butch up" for a while.

And remember the words of George Carlin, "Beard! It's not American sounding. BEARD! Lenin had a BEARD! Gabby Hayes had 'whiskers'."

......L

Yup, when I first grew a beard my mother said I looked just like Gabby Hayes. It wasn't meant as a compliment.
