    I'm 17, pre-T, and I pass quite a lot, but mostly as literally an 11/12 year old. Obviously this is pretty annoying and could get inconvenient if I'm applying for jobs, looking for relationships etc. :joy: I'm wondering if anyone else in a similar position has found any ways of looking a bit older while still passing and not taking hormones? Like haircuts, clothes, mannerisms or anything like that? Thank you x

    Wear mature clothes and behave in a mature way. Other than that I can't really help. Mature clothes is not sports fashion, it's more like shirts, blazers, oxford shoes, loafers, chinos, a tie... you can mix up formal and informal elements of clothing or vibes for a more casual look.

    Cool, thanks! I generally behave immaturely and dress casually which surely doesn't help XD So thank you, I will try to find some more mature clothes :slight_smile:

    I'm seriously unsure about which one of these two I'm less able to do hahahah.
    I'm going through adolescence now. In order to be less feminine, my mannerism sometimes becomes exaggerated (or is it just my sense of transgression?) like the one of a young boy. Behaviour follows...
