    Eehhh, I came to this site for help with one thing in particular and that's passing as male. I'm cursed with a rather average female body, only about 5 foot 6ish and well...endowed. Sadly so.
    I have a binder but since I can't wear it all the time I think I need more help. I do have shorter hair but I can't seem to find a stylist who understands that I'm not trying to look "cute" or "feminine" with short hair. I do wear clothes from the male department but, eeehh, I must be doing something else wrong. Looking online all I can find it information for FtM pre/during T but...I'm not? So I'm just looking for everyday tips so that I can stop being called "ma'am" constantly.

    Out to everyone
    Body language
    -Sit with your legs apart, if you must cross them put your ankle on your knee
    -Keep your shoulders back
    -Take up space
    -Swing your shoulders, but not too much
    -Keep your legs apart

    Clothes

    -Wear two shirts
    -Bind your chest
    -Wear a belt, and loose, guy pants to hide your hips
    -Wear high, guy shoes. Sports shoes are best. Maybe even consider shoe inserts to make yourself taller

    Hair
    -Try to get a widows peak type thing
    -Cut your own hair, if possible. Even buzzing it is better than a girl haircut, but I'd try to avoid buzzcuts if possible.
    -Keep the sides short

    Packing
    -Use a sock with rolled up toilet paper in it, safety pin it in place
    -Make one with condoms and hairgel
    -Buy one. I'd recommend freetom or emisil, and advise against freedom

    And finally, workout. Do cardio and try to build muscle on your shoulders, chest, and arms. Ty Turner has a few videos of filming himself at the gym, so you should probably do similar stuff to what he does.
