Urgh. I don’t even have huge hips but I do have a hip dip that can make them look bigger and it’s like the one thing I can’t really fix. I could get body masculinization surgery but I’ve never considered that as an option. I mean my hips will always be there and I’m not sure it’s even permanent. I just need to work out and manage my weight to try and keep from drawing attention to them.

Uneducated, on trans masc struggles, trans fems will basically say how easy we have it because testosterone takes care of everything. For many trans mascs that is far from true anyways, but here I am a guy that between T and my genes and natural height have been very lucky, and I still get misgendered on the phone and I will always have hips, even after I’m done with surgery.

Sigh. Anyways, no matter how many surgeries and how successful hormones on your body, it seems there will always be something.

Overall I’m thrilled with what T has and and all my surgeries have done. I’m a guy, I look like a guy, feel like a guy, am a guy, but I still struggle almost 12 years in.

@Melezioh I hear you there.

I'm 5'6 which is not too bad but I so wish for 2 more inches. And there's no solution for that.
Now that's in the States. In France most guys are my height so it doesn't feel so bad!

I try to remind myself that a lot of cis-men have issues with their hips, their height, their facial hair etc.
So it's not a trans issue, it just shows we're really like cis-men.

@aSweetGentleman yea there are just some things there are no good solution for.

We really do have similar issues to cis guys in the end. Ours may be more common (like being shorter) or a bit more exaggerated (like hips due to the whole estrogen birthing hips) than a cis guys may be but similar issues.

US and some other countries just have higher average heights for sure. Other parts of the world there are plenty of shorter guys.
