I started T at 51. So now I pass as a younger man-- and people who have known me from the start comment on how much younger I appear -- could be the joy of finally being me...
Hey! Another middle-aged transitioner! Nice to meet you StineMachine. I'm 46 and I started on T about 11 weeks ago now. I've had people tell me I am starting to look like a teenage boy. I don't know if I want to look like a teenager, but being perceived as younger is kind of cool.
I’m nearly 39, 6.5 months on T, and I pass as a teenage boy! But honestly I don’t find it annoying at all. I am LOVING passing as male at all, after nearly 4 decades of being seen as female! This is the most happy in myself I’ve ever felt. Plus I missed out on a male adolescence first time round, so this feels like a nice way to make up for it. And there’s plenty of time to look grizzled and old in the future!
Bonidee Lee Oh my gosh you’re right - I was already a male before all the drugs and surgeries. What a sweet, affirming comment! Thank you, kind friend :) ❤️
Ugh! I TOOOTALLY feel ya on this! I started at 35 (on T) so imagine me....almost 40 now and still no beard so I definitely get looks and comments about how young I look at my age 🤣
True story. People thought I was 22-25 when I was 17 and pre-t, now I only pass as a 14-16 year old boy. I hope I look like an adult soon enough and honestly sometimes this feels a bit creepy.
Thank you for talking about this because I definitely relate to this immensely. I am pre-everything but frequently have people thinking I am 13-15 years old. The other day someone in a ticket office asked if I was under 15 and needed a child discount. I'm actually 24 about to turn 25...but don't let it get you down. We are real grown men!
I had the same experience but I kinda loved it haha. I started T at 17 and actually passed most of the time for a year prior to that, but I had people calling me "buddy" and stuff a couple months in and it was so funny haha. I remember going to my first barber a couple months on T and I think he thought I was like 14 or 15 and I remember thinking the way he was treating me was really funny. Since the gap between my actual age and the age I appeared as wasn't huge, it wasn't a big deal, but it is a very FTM specific experience and it's hard to explain to people. It's just one of those things you have to live to understand.
I’m 16 and I just started t but usually I pass for 11 or 12. In some ways it’s helpful because I can pay the kids price for things but also it annoys me when guys younger than me look older than me and talk down to me.
I totally feel you, I think I aged like 2-3 years after T lol. Pre-t I was seen as a 12 to 14 y-o and now people give me 15 or 16 (a year on T) I hope I can pass as an adult in a year! Lol
Oh i feel you, im younger but i still feel like ppl think im like what? 15? While im 18 and its so sad sometimes. So im just praying for some facial hair and waiting for time to pass. Coz things will change for the better
Haha, I'm 23 and I haven't done any medical transition and I still look 16... In winter clothes I can look even younger, like 2 years ago I was asked ID in a pg13 movie. Sadly I don't usually pass as boy, but occassionally I do.
God, I already am seen as younger than I am (32, appear like i'm in my early to mid 20s) and I know, intellectually, this will increase once I start transitioning.. but that's so hard to actually understand
I'm 17 and pre T and I feel like I either don't pass or I pass as a 13 year old. Bot honestly most of the time I'm happy when people see me as a little boy cause at least they get my gender right.
late?!?! barely anyone in my country even starts T before 30 years old.... I am 31 and still not close to getting on T... other reasons too, but still. most people are around 30.
This isn't to make you feel better (though I hope it does) when I saw the thumbnail, I didn't realise it was you and genuinely thought you were in your 40s
😂its crazy or astonishing that anyone would see you differently than you are & that's totally Not a 16 year old "boy"! You look completely like a 25 year old female! I do understand that individuals see what they want to see👀.(Good luck)😳

Yeah -- I've bypassed the teen thing due to my grey hair. Doesn't mean I'm not acting like one, though... ;)
@kek kek source?

Totally feel you with passing but not as your own age its exciting and a little disappointing i guess. Like your new hair colour btw !!
your voice definitely has dropped, i can hear it!
UR VOICE IS SO DEEP
Not very masculine

Intersex person here who had the 3rd puberty using T when 20.
I too was perceived as young for a looong time. It was great!

just watched an old interview you did with the CBC and OMG yes your voice has dropped big time.
I thought u were about 20! I’m 19 and I don’t mind being seen as 16 but it gets a bit consensating

Ahh you look so good and your voice sounds amazing!!! 💕
Omg your voice did change I am shocked and you are looking really good and do notice how you have changed big time
I feel ya about being late in the game, man. I’m 32 and 2 months on T.
Oh i feel you, im younger but i still feel like ppl think im like what? 15? While im 18 and its so sad sometimes. So im just praying for some facial hair and waiting for time to pass. Coz things will change for the better
I’m starting T today and I agree, I’d rather pass as a teenage boy than a 33 year old woman.
Haha, I'm 23 and I haven't done any medical transition and I still look 16... In winter clothes I can look even younger, like 2 years ago I was asked ID in a pg13 movie. Sadly I don't usually pass as boy, but occassionally I do.
I’m 17 and pre t. I almost always pass but most people think I’m 10-13
I'm pre-T and a sophomore and there are 7th graders that look older than me...
Your CZcams channel and your Instagram is just compharrisons now😂
God, I already am seen as younger than I am (32, appear like i'm in my early to mid 20s) and I know, intellectually, this will increase once I start transitioning.. but that's so hard to actually understand

I am turning 34 and I get asked for ID lol my ex till he was 28 got asked for ID and he is CIS male .
I always got asked before I came out
You inspired me to dye my eyebrows

No top surgery update? :( anywho hows your mobility as of right now are you able to move your arms all around? Work and drive?
I wish I were a 16 year old boy.
This isn't to make you feel better (though I hope it does) when I saw the thumbnail, I didn't realise it was you and genuinely thought you were in your 40s
Same. I couldn't put a number at all but I thought 30s or maybe 40s. Not the other way around.
But do you look older after 50?
Wow if u transitioned at 24 then I'm really old lol I started transitioning at 30
Youre very handsome 😘
😂its crazy or astonishing that anyone would see you differently than you are & that's totally Not a 16 year old "boy"! You look completely like a 25 year old female!
I do understand that individuals see what they want to see👀.(Good luck)😳
