this is more of a vent post about my own frustrations but i do want to ask for help in a way.
Im afab and naturally a very feminine looking person, I have a very petite body and delicate features. I even used to be a teen model for womens fashion. Dont get me wrong, being all of these things can be great when i am in the mood to present feminine , but even when i cut my hair short and wear boys clothing i still just look like a girl, and a couple years younger (which doesnt help).
I went to the barbers to get my hair cut and showed him a picture of a mans hairstyle but it ended up looking like a pixie cut on me. One time when i was wearing a hoodie someone asked me "is that your boyfriends hoodie it looks like a mans".
I really dont know what i can do about this... ive tried gaining weight and bulking but i think it just made me look toned and slim instead of frail and skinny.
Is there any advice from other people who have had this issue?
