I work in apparel at a big chain store. When your measuring your leg length make sure you use the inseam...or the inner thigh area of your leg to get the length. It will give you a better judge of what length pants to get. So measure crotch to ankle. I know this can be dysphoria inducing if you have someone else do it. Getting a good measuring tape from a fabric store was a godsend to many of my ftm friends.

[@milkweedsage]

i find that if the person holds the side near their crotch and i'm the one reading the ankle measurement, they can wear a long shirt to pretty much cover their bits and reduce discomfort.

"women's" shoes are designed to make your feet look long and narrow. "Men's" shoes generally have more room in the toe box.

[@Zan0923]

And that is why I like men’s shoes

[@n.m.dimmick194]

Honestly I wish I'd known that even before realizing I was trans. It would've given me options other than running shoes, which were the only things I could find in wide sizes--and even those don't fit quite right.

[@AaronAnsuini]

It’s really a tough one - I went through the same thing for a VERY long time. I know I can’t understand what you’re going through because I’m not you. But I’ll share what helped me just Incase it helps: I realized that there ultimately was nothing I could do to “prove” or explain myself to people who were not actually genuinely ready to listen. I was older and living on my own already, so I was able to make the decision to transition regardless. But I held myself back for years, because I fully believed that I HAD to wait until EVERYONE ELESE around me was ready. I thought that I’d lose them all and so I couldn’t take hormones or change my name until THEY were ready. After trying over and over again, I really realized that their support was not something I could wait around forever for, and that I was making myself miserable for people who couldn’t even be bothered to listen to what I was saying. They’d just patronize me and talk down to me. What’s weird (and problematic) is that they all started respecting me after I started hormones and had surgery. I guess that made it “real” in their heads (despite the fact that they still felt it was unnecessary?) Anyway, I don’t know if sharing my experience helps at all. I just wanted to connect to say that I have felt something similar, and really my freedom came when I stopped waiting for them. I hope things become easier for you soon ❤️

This is a great help. I had come out as Transgender last November. I have been trying my best to be me, but it really hard when I'm still in my teens. I often wear jeans or baggy shorts which feels good for me. I just wear any shirt that fits though I'm more top dysphoria. When I'm out though I pass really well most of the time. By the way, I like your cat! They are adorable.

[@Hmm...Whats-Their-Name]

Uuuughh, Aaron! I looooooove how you pronounce consonants so muchhhh! It is so pleasant to listen to, especially on top of your calming cadence and tone.

Idk about anyone else but drop crotch harum pants have been a game changer for me. Cheap/affordable online, loose fit so I dont worry about having to pack or be uncomfortable due to swelling(Chronic pain is weird) and they come in tons of patterns and colors. I had the same issue with basketball shorts with the wonky pockets, I have switched to nike and it seems to be less of an issue im not sure why,so if anyone has clues on that mystery let me know lol.

I also recommend learning some basic clothes altering. Being able to adjust the length of your pants and adjust the length of sleeves and such can be a really cheap way of changing the look of certain clothes. Also it will give you a wider variety of clothes you can buy that will work for your personal body and wishes

[@natenuit9643]

I would love you to continue this series. Formal wear took me forever to figure out and I still can sometimes have problems if I do not go and get a tailored suit. Which most trans men have to sadly because we are usually shorter and built differently

Higher waisted pants with tucked in shirts helps my dysphoria a whole bunch. I never wear shirts that aren’t a bit cropped “untucked”.

Hey thank you!!

[@definedillusion3342]

I started hemming my trousers a while ago with the help of a friend because I'm around a 31 waist and even with that it's kind of hard to find 30 leg trousers. You only have to look for the correct waist size, which is way easier, and hemming really isn't hard if you know how to use a sewing machine or have a friend help you! Even I was able to do it and I had precisely zero experience with sewing machines beforehand and am not exactly talented when it comes to sewing in general.

[@martamcdaniel4919]

[@jazzyboy3363]

The pressure on waist thing with underwear, I actually need that for I have a hip dip

[@RowanWiccae]

It's the knee placement on pants that determines whether you look taller or shorter. Same problem with women's clothes. A size 10-12 (average for most) is considered plus sized which means the legs are made taller than average pants. so if you are a short size 12, the knee of the pants will sit below your natural knee, making it appear like the pants are too baggy on you, making you seem shorter than you are. Problem is, because women's clothing does not measure length of leg pretty much any size you wear on a shorter individual will always be too long in the thighs giving you that horrible bunching below the knee.

[@myrkflinn4331]

I also have the elastic band pants with a low crotch. the fabric's a bit firmer so the crotch looks fuller without me packing necessarily

[@kylegawron5358]

[@bratatouille]

Oh man thank you so much for this. I've been struggling a lot with gate keeping health care providers, because apparently I need to get better before they're willing to actually help me. (literally had a psychologist tell me I can't get treatment at a gender clinic because I'm too depressed and therefore I'd end up regretting transitioning, and that I just need to try harder to accept that :))) So I've been trying to find ways to make life even just a bit easier, and I've always had a hard time finding pants I actually feel alright in, so I always just end up wearing pants that are 4 sizes too big so no one (including myself) can see my massive thighs. Now I at least have some tips on how to find pants that well, don't make me extremely dysphoric or make me look like a potato sack :D

[@spookyprincessxoxo9269]

How do you know if your cis or transgender?? Hi, my name is Jordan and I’m 18 years old. I started questioning my gender around the beginning of 7th grade. I got my period the month before I was supposed to start 7th grade. Getting my period threw me off and made me really uncomfortable. I never could put my finger exactly on why I felt so weird but the way that people were treating me and the way my body was changing, I hated it to say the least. I remember finding out was transgender meant in like the 10th grade but I didn’t really think much of it. It wasn’t until I turned 17 and was a junior in high school that I really began to ask myself if I was transgender female to male or not. I began to wear more guy clothes and wanted a haircut. I went to therapy and concluded that I just liked to wear men’s clothes because they were more comfortable. Then, in my senior year of highschool my gender spun out of control. By the time I was to graduate high school, I had no idea who the heck I was. My mind was always all over the place. I had mental breakdowns a lot and sometimes for no apparent reason. I started to feel really insecure and wanted to get back into therapy since it has previously helped me before. So there I was, back in therapy after I graduated high school. I told my therapist exactly how I had been feeling and we had come to the conclusion that I was probably transgender female to male. For the next six months I identified as transgender female to male. It was hard sometimes and I had a lot of doubt but I pushed through it. However, now my thoughts on my self are very different. I no longer feel like a man or want to be one. The thought of growing facial hair makes me want to literally cry and I actually can appreciate my breasts and love them because they make me feel feminine and make me feel like a woman. I couldn’t imagine transitioning into a man, mainly because I would miss my current body and feel quite out of my element in that type of body. But it’s like now I am so dang confused! Was the whole feeling like a transgender man just a phase?? How do you know if you are cis gender?? How does one tell if they are transgender?? I actually want to be my assigned gender at birth and have so much self love for myself that I never had before. I really do feel like a girl, inside and out. Does this mean that I’m really a cis gender female?? Please leave me your thoughts and advice below, any and every comment of advice is very much appreciated trust me!🥰❤️💓

[@strangerr13]

If you really love the parts of you that make you a woman I (as an outsider) would says you are probably not a trans guy, BUT that is your journey and you may change over time. Keep In mind you can dress and present in anyway you want and still be a woman (or man) gender and gender expressing can be complicated so don’t try to rush a label of try to force yourself into a box

George Brand [Walmart] have sizes in odd number and even leg length of 28 to 30 inches.

[@second_conflict]

Another clothing hack, especially for chubbier (or plus size like myself) guys / transmascs: You can dramatically change your body shape by going up in waist size and wearing your pants higher! I know wearing jeans or shorts on or below your hipbones is "in" but wearing higher rise (maybe 1-3 fingers width from belly button) lengthens your legs (making you look taller!), prevents any pant sagging or falling, and can straighten out hips while minimizing a belly. It's a lifesaver for anyone who doesn't like their body proportions in low rise pants. I highly recommend joggers or jogging shorts and Uniqlo's EZY jeans since they fit slim while being a slightly higher rise. Just an additional tip. Love you Aaron!

[@xacr944]

There was this one time i bought boxers from the brand levis .I’ve never bought boxers from that brand i usually get puma , hanes , or champion. I got my usual size which is a large . Well when i tried them on they were so tight from my inner thighs and it barley went up from my butt 💀😭😂😂

[@threeratsinacoat6219]

couple quick notes! 1. shorts should usually never fall below the knee. 2. if you want to feel a taller get a pair of shoes with a small heel inside the shoe, the sole on the outside will be flat, but it will raise you up. 3. if you want to look taller, only wear vertical stripes on striped clothes, horizontal stripes will make you look wider. 4. for looking taller, especially in formal wear, try to avoid color blocking. so if you have a vest, it should match with the color of you pants i have a whole host of tips especially for suits and formal wear, so if you need help you can shoot me a message on insta (although i don’t check it very often), my handle is poets_inscribe

Hey, I have a quick tip for trans guys who are struggling to pass. If you're thinking of either using make up to make your eyebrows look bushier, or contouring to appear more angular and masculine in the face, just don;t do it, because it does look like make up and most people can't tell that it's make up, so I wouldn't recommend it

Not sure what shops they have in Canada... Target sells 29 and 30 length. I'm a 34 length, so no worries there, luckily, but my dad is short and needs the 29 or 30 length.
