Adams Apple

[Guest daphene]

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.

my hair is long and I'm still trying to figure out things for summer to hide it, cant wear a turtle neck when its like 90F out.

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?

[Guest Zeda]

(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).

[Guest SusanB]

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 <.<
