Hiya! I'm FtM and I wanna know what should be my next few steps into becoming more masculine. I've come out to my family and friends and they use male pronouns for me. What would be best to do next? I don't have any money.

ftmtranstastic:

Everyone’s transition and preferences are different so that’s really up to you. Also, I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “masculine”. Assuming you mean how to appear more as what society views a man to be without medical transition, you could work out (broadening shoulders and thickening arms usually leads to a traditionally more masculine appearance), get a haircut (if you know someone willing to cut your hair for you or if you can do it youself it won’t cost anything) or practice deepening your voice (there are some videos about how to do it on YouTube). Those are just suggestions, however. My opinion is you should do what you enjoy, what you want to do etc, not what you “should” do. 

There is no “should” in transitioning, except taking care of yourself.
