It has come to my attention that most everything on the internet about crossdressing is for men dressing as women. Now, this does make sense, as most male articles of clothing have female equivalents, and women wearing male clothes isn't really frowned upon (at least not to the high degree present for men dressing in women clothing).

However, there is something of a difference between a woman dressing in men's clothing and dressing AS a man, and I think it would be interesting for there to be information/tips for women trying to dress as men.

So... I guess discuss women crossdressing, offer tips for looking more like a guy, anything else you want to say that's related to the topic. Things like that.

I am a drag queen, but i see a lot of kings as well. Spirit gum with hair clippings is the norm for facial hair. And duct tapr can be your best friend

Sometimes I wax my arsehair and put it on my chin! I guess you could do the same!

You never fail to disgust me...

My cousin is a drag king - and has somehow managed to coax a definite, if somewhat weak, moustache to grow. I think it looks awful, but who am I to judge?

I'm sure there's a film addressing the issue of female cross-dressing. It's called Boys Don't Cry, IIRC.

I could judge for you. Give me your cousin's phone number and I'll tell her that she looks like a clod and should get one of these (http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/unbranded/c/unbranded-chinaman-moustache.jpg) like everyone else.

I don't think looking like a dimestore Fu Manchu is quite the look she's angling for.

Why ever not? You're no fun anymore.

What sort of clothing would be recommended? Y'know, stuff that would minimize the visibility of hips and any tell-tale bumps left after binding breasts?

Also, are there any other details (beyond facial hair) that anyone could think of in order to look more masculine?

i pluck my eyebrows...

I had a gay girl in my art history class. She had buzzed hair and wore a ski cap or something all the time. Between that and the wife beater, baggy jeans, and jacket, she had a pretty good impression of a guy going. Sadly, she was the worst butch lesbian ever once she opened her mouth because I have heard less high-pitched, squeeky voices in old Mickey Mouse cartoons.

... I guess discuss ...
You do, eh? Well, how about I guess not! :D

I would say a solve all to most of the problems would be to wear loose clothing, puff your chest out, and strut.

Being a trannyboi myself, here are a couple of tips I;ve gotten from others:
Loose clothing such as buttondowns are quite effective. Those that go under suits scream male, flannel screams butch. I would go for the male look, and try to avoid the butch look.
Ace bandages are awful binders. They roll and wrap, and have tons of wrinkles which will show through your shirts. Using an item of the same amterial but a different company are more effective, particularly if you cut and sew the bandage as opposed to wrapping it two or three times which causes an unisghtly bulge.
Remeber to keep your head up, and meet peopel'es eyes. Be the second person to look away unless your in the bathroom. When in the men;s room, look confident but make no eye contact. That's seen as an affront.
Hold everyhting at your sides as opposed to in front of you. Some girls carry items against their sides, but very, very rarely will you see a guy carrying his books in front of him.
Hopefully, some of this was help, and there's a ton more info and links if you look up ftm international.

If binding is done well enough, there are no telltale bumps. I knew someone with 38DDD breasts, and they just disappeared when she was in drag.

You should also buy a strap-on dildo, to give the appearance of a bulge... mmm... I'd love to be fucked by a women with one of those!

That was quite informative, though some of the stuff I don't necessarily need to know. I'm not really out to be a boy, just maybe play as one at some point. Either way, it's some interesting stuff to know. Thanks!

Oh, and can you explain in more detail the cutting and sewing of bandages bit in more detail? I'm not sure what you mean.

That's amazing. Do you know how she does it?

"Oh, and can you explain in more detail the cutting and sewing of bandages bit in more detail? I'm not sure what you mean."

Certianly, To make the wrapping of a bandage binder less visible, its a lot easier to measure the width around your chest, then cut the binder to fit that size. Then you can just sew the end together. it winds up looking like a strapless bra, which would look more normal if the shirt had to be removed for some reason, but it constricts the breasts better, while prventing breathing problems that you can get from a multiple wrap.

Well, butch or lumberjack, but not many people fall under the latter category anymore*.



*Unless you live in Canadia or Oregon**, they are still somewhat common in those areas.


**Possibly Washington as well, and maybe Alaska.

Be just like screwing around with Cher.
