Prior to completing sex reassignment, many transgendered individuals spend a period of time working to eliminate the traits that mark them as male or female by virtue of hormone therapy and simple grooming and makeup techniques. In the present case, if you are a woman considering sex reassignment, you may want to see if you can "pass" as a man by using some of these simple techniques to hide your feminine traits. Follow these steps to get you started.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1
Learn how to choose the right men's clothing to hide feminine traits. You should choose button-down shirts because the boxy cut tends to hide feminine hips and conceal the breasts better.
Step2
Wear shirts with a pattern rather than solids. This deceives the eye into looking at other things besides the chest. Always wear an undershirt beneath so that sports bra straps are hidden.
Step3
Choose cargo pants or loose-fitting jeans to hide feminine hips and legs. The main idea is to go for a boxy cut so that no curves are visible. Make sure the pants hang low on the waist. High-cut waists accentuate the female shape and you want to avoid this.
Step4
Conceal your breasts by using an Ace bandage. According to experts, a 6'' length is the best. Wear a sports bra beneath and wind the bandage up and over until you're flattened out without too many wrinkles visible through your shirt.
Step5
Pack your crotch with a sock. If you're serious about passing as a man, you need to insert that little extra padding down there to look convincing. People do check you out down there, so make it convincing but not overwhelming. The best technique is to fold the sock in half and twist it up once or twice. You should be good to go.
Step6
Get a genuine man's hair cut at a barber shop. There's no point trying to gussy it up. Just find yourself a decent barber and take the plunge into masculinity with a good-looking style.
