Hey there. I'm Alex and obviously I'm new. Lately I've been feeling like I really need some people to talk to so I came here to hopefully find some support. About me... I'm 23, FTM, currently in transition. I've been on T for close to 5 months now and I'm trying and failing at saving up money for my top surgery. I've been having a really hard time passing as a guy and I'm not sure why. I cut my hair short and wear guy's clothes and yet I get called ma'am and miss everywhere I go and its driving me crazy. I'm also having a very hard time right now finding good friends because most seem too preoccupied with their own lives to keep their plans with me -.-

Anyway! Yea, I'm a bit frustrated right now in life so I could really use some people that can understand me to talk with.

Welcome to Susan's, Alex.

I can't really help you with your passing problem, but someone else will surely have some advice. However, as the length of time on T increases you will have an easier time passing; it just takes time for T to do its thing. Just have to keep trying 

Thanks for the welcome Domitia.

I figured that it'll just have to take some time for the T to work its magic. But strangely enough... I passed MORE before I started T and before I cut my hair! Don't know what went wrong there. But I was put on a low dose of T to start off and I just recently got it upped to a decent amount so hopefully soon enough it'll really start working. My voice has deepened like crazy though!

Welcome to Susan's Alex!

I am sure that you will find this forum a great place to get the support and advice you need during and after your transition.

There are plenty of guys here who would be more than happy to help mentor you and discuss the difficulties you have been having in great detail.

I look forward to reading more posts from you.

See you around!

*hugs*

Hi Alex,

Welcome. I'm sure some of the guys will introduce themselves soon and give you some advice. But remember confidence. I think guys tend to be outwardly confident and that is trait that I think some FtM have to work on. JMO BTW.

Hey man welcome to the site 

There are a few threads on suggesting ways to pass. There is also an "Official do I Pass Thread" which I think is in the FTM section. You can get some advice there or if your comfortable doing so, you can post a picture there and ask for advice. Just remember, confidence. You don't have to "pass" as a man because you are a man. That being said I do understand that it is nowhere near that easy, just something to keep in mind. My next goal is top surgery too but hey just remember too that there are many bio guys with a big chest too. See ya around the forum
