I have had glasses before but they have always made me look...well..girly. I was wondering what type of glasses I should get to help make my face look a little more male. I tried adding a picture of me but it is too big and won't shrink down. So here is a like to my gallery to let you see what I look like.

If you could put pictures of glasses that would be great. I'm not to good with words and descriptions.

I think you would look great in aviator glasses. The best illustration is actually a movie, the Tom Cruise movie Top Gun. Straight stems, metal frames around the lenses. Looking at your picture, a definite Tom Cruise Top Gun aviator comes to my mind.

Joey, I can't offer a specific suggestion on style.

I've worn wire frames for years and they come in a variety of styles.

I suggest you visit a couple of stores like Frame and Lens and try on different

ones. they should match your color and facial shape, but you won't know what

works best unless you try them on. I have dark hair and my frames are silver

around the lenses, but have brown sides (the part that goes back to the ears).

Most guys don't have a lot of color in ther frames and they tend to be oval

or rectangular in shape.

IDK if this helps any, but good luck.

I've got a pair of unisex frames and I love them! I used to have regular looking aviator style so going from such a large lens to the glasses I wear in pics I've posted took a little while to get used to but, I love them.

I really like large, athletic glasses. They are very masculinizing.

I know this is an old thread but it's the only one i found related to glasses. My issue is actually the opposist of the original poster's. I am trying to find a style of glasses that would make me look more feminine.cause unfortunately contacts are a no go cause my eyes dry out too quickly for them. and Lasik is also out of the option as for my eyes it's a muscle issue that is causing my poor sight, not a shape issue. at least that's what the optometrist here says. so it looks like i'm stuck with glasses.

Just buy some cute female glasses. To save money, try online glasses stores like Zenni Opitical and Eye Buy Direct. I have bought from both before and have loved their products. You don't even need a current prescription, but you will need to know what it is. Plus your pupil distance, and glasses size.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      Glad to hear it. Abby

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer
    • April Marie
      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer
