Why boymode?

I don't understand taking estrogen, then looking masculine? Why don't you want to look feminine? Why take HRT?

          Ok, so you're saying you'll live girlmode when you physically change? What happens if you don't change much? Is it a gamble?

          What do you think of those who don't prioritize passing? Who prioritize living as female more than passing?

            HRT treats (read: quiets or silences) the dysphoria for many of us. Depends on the person but passing may not be necessary if HRT takes care of the sensation of dysphoria for us (many may intentionally take a low dose of HRT to minimize secondary effects but have the mental support if they're for whatever unable or unwilling to come out).

            because living fully as female doesnt depend only on you, it depends on other people too. whats the point of dressing as a woman when hrt changes havent set in and youll just be misgendered over and over again??? its pointless. you'll just fail, get sadder and wish to give up

            and its not about safety or being harassed. im brazillian and unless you live in a generally dangerous place youll be fine. ive seen many gay guys just being super feminine in clothing and they never had issues. the other day a bi classmate of mine went out with a skirt in a very crowded festival here. no issues. i could do that too, but i would feel terrible because feminine clothing would accentuate whats male about my body, which would bother me *a lot*. until the changes set in for me ill just let my hair grow out, take care of my nails, wear earrings. when they set in, ill gradually start using the right clothes and name. this is about being smart too. do things at the right time because transitioning socially depends on other people too. they wont take you seriously if your body still hasnt feminized. if simply not being judged is enough for you, thats good. to me its not, i want people to see and believe in me as i am, but that surely wont happen while i still look like a boy

      How many transwomen have you talked to? You certainly aren't yourself. Points for creativity but we're well aware that we may lose privlidge and even may put our personal safety on the line for being seen as not-a-man (however our victimizers might see us).

            For me, I’d probably just feel disappointed and distraught that I didn’t pass if I tried something like that. I think it wouldn’t be the most unfair thing to say that boymoding is a pretty cowardly way of going about transitioning, though some might say it’s more akin to caution.

            I guess I can understand but I can't feel it.
            I hated being socially a boy, started dressing as a teen, now most people think I'm a female. The really interesting part is people don't really don't care. They don't see me as threatening a harmful. Most women are quite accepting and men are more avoidant and think it's a weakness. Again, most people don't know.

Mind you, I feel like some boymoder could do a bit more to work towards passing, namely voice training. I cringe every time I see a story about some boymoder who instantly changes the gender people perceive them as from female to male just by talking. As a boymoder myself, I’ve done some rudimentary voice training to get an androgynous voice and just a few days ago, I was able to hold a conversation with someone and only realized he thought I was a woman when near the end of it he said I should be a model. Of course, malefailing can be inconsistent, but having a good voice can really tip the scales in your favour and it annoys me every time I see someone here say that it’s “too hard.”

            I looked at what some say about voice training. I don't know if I naturally do it; I just never really tried to train my voice. I guess if I was hiding behind the door someone hearing me might think I'm older. Sometimes, if I'm really tired, my voice might sound like an adolescent boy.

            so instead, i present male for the time being (to prevent being bullied and harassed as best i can), and hope that my hrt, laser sessions and workout routine will eventually help me look fem enough to girlmode one day.

    People want to transition to relieve dysphoria.
    They don't want to look like the worst drag queen you ever saw on day 1. That would just make dysphoria worse.
    They take hrt and wait for changes, some voice train and learn makeup in the meantime. Some like ocre have such bad dysphoria/bdd/internalised transphobia/brainworms/self-hatred that they find it hard to take any positive steps to transition, and keep taking hrt hoping that someday it will be enough, or at least that it will stop things getting worse. It's really not hard to understand. Most of these threads just turn out to be someone gloating about how their transition was better than stupid boymoders or something.
