Heeelllppp!! (FtM Trans kid)

I need some tips on transitioning!!

Currently i'm still very feminine and i'm nervous about telling ppl like my teachers or my parents to use my new name and pronouns :(

I'm trying to dress as masculine as I can but it's still not giving theĀ  impression that I'm trying to transition into a boy (One of the kids in my class who found out I was trans kept commenting on how feminine I am despite my efforts, plus a lot of them ask me rlly uncomfortable questions regarding my genitals for some reason??)

How do I make myself more masc? Any help at all would be appreciated!

Try and go for clothes that build you a boxier look, tshirts that fit your shoulders, jackes, etc

I think it's also worth developing strong skills around your own comfort and boundaries. Having people asks invasive questions about your body sucks but it happens when people know/suspect you're trans. Make sure you have the skills to shut people down and tell them that what they're doing is gross and weird (be direct and have no patience for bullshit). People are also less likely to question your masculinity if you appear comfortable and confident in it.

Best of luck to you in your transition

all the advice on here + some workouts you're comfortable with!! they can rlly help building muscle and shaping your body to be more masc. try eating less foods that have high estrogen levels (berries, nuts, wheat) and more foods higher in testosterone (seafood, meat, dairy). If you aren't able to access a binder, try making one. there's lots of tutorials online, but make sure to stay safe with it. come out to the ppl closest to you first, and work your way up. you don't have to come out to anyone, and they don't have any right to ask you questions you're uncomfortable with. good luck and stay safe <3
