Passing as Male for FTMs / Height as a passing factor
« on: July 05, 2017, 03:46:22 pm »
I stand at a staggering 5 feet tall and while this would not be so much a passing issue if I weren't pre-T, I feel it gives me away more, along with certain feminine features. I wear a lot of boots and maintain straight posture, and being Hispanic it's common to be around 5'4"-5'7", but alas.. I got the shorter (pun intended) end of the stick.
While it's not something I can change even with T, I've considered investing in shoe lifts, and was curious if anyone here has done the same or had the same concern at any time with regards to passing.
With regards to menswear, finding more formal stuff that fits and maintains a masculine shape is a real ****, though I don't have particularly large hips. Casual wear isn't as much of an issue, but does anyone know any good menswear brands that carry smaller sizes? I hate having to resort to wearing women's suits with every fiber of my being, and suit jackets are harder to tailor than pants.
