Adams Apple

Hello ladies, I gotta question for you all that go out in public presenting as your true gender. How do you hide or mask an adams apple? Mine is not real large, but it is obvious. I think I can pass ok except for this one problem. I know there are surgerys, but short of that what do you do about it?

Hugs,

Daphene

all of these ideas are great in the winter time but down here in georgia this time of year it is hot and humid and its gets worse till september. i guess jewely is the best option for now since my hair is not long enough yet.

thanks,

Daphene

Part of developing a female voice is shortening the voice box/pulling up the Adam's Apple. I've been working on my voice for just over a year and I now rather automatically keep my Adam's Apple retracted whenever I am in public so I am prepared to speak if someone catches me. It might be visible if you really look, but it doesn't bulge like it does when I use my guy voice.

Hi,

well, on the few occasions when the whole of my neck is showing (I tend to wear a fleece a lot of the time), I tend to wear a thin scarf to cover up my Adam's apple. Mine is rather huge, so it's pretty much necessary! When I was in France, and I wasn't able to wear thick clothes in Spring, I wore one of those scarves and it did a good job of covering my neck. I'm pretty sure most good clothes shops will stock them.

I have a very visible adams apple when I don't speak, I think. Not many people really look at the neck, even genetic woman have adams apples that protrude. You should have no problem. :)

If you're really worried about it, try hiding it with scarves, chokers, etc.

Good luck~!

I know this is an old thread.but,I am very curious as to how you "Pull up the Adams Apple" sounds painful.what does that mean?

(I am assuming this is true for other people.)

Try to use a really deep voice or yawn. You will probably feel your voice box move down, naturally, then it moves back up when you resume normal speech or stop yawning. Likewise, when you raise your voice to a higher pitch, your voice box moves up (at least in my experience).

Instead of hiding it, just don't draw attention to it

Wear a longer necklace or none at all

A nice bow in your hair or a fancy barette

Bracelets can also do this

Rings if your hands aren't too large

Anything to draw attention away from the area of your neck

While I am sensitive to how other trans feel about an adams apple. However I think sometimes we can be over sensitive to it. Lately I have been purposly observing how visible an adams apple is on natal females and it is VERY common. Sometimes I wonder if we can be our own worst judge when looking in the mirror. Even on my fitness trainer who is natal, she has a very visible adams apple. There are a number of celebrities who have adams apples as well.

Just my two cents. Ultimately it comes down to what makes you comfortable.

Yeah, women have it, too, remember that. It is more likely to be more pronounced due to testosterone, but everybody has one. Also, collars can help >.> I know this by accident <.<

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
