| This article excludes explicit information on having a transgender identity that might be relevant. | |

I feel you have been too dismissive of men in the warnings. "Don't talk about how cute your new hat is, or about how much your best friend is being a jerk, they could care less and have nothing to say about it. " As a man, if a woman is my friend, I have no problems when she would make a comment that was "girly". She was a female, no matter how masculine her self-awareness might be. Just because her girlfriend was cuter than mine did not make her more or less a human woman. If the guys you are hanging out with couldn't care less about what you are saying, you are hanging out with the wrong people, men OR women. |

This is a little lame, and strikes at times of being both too girly, and a little misogynistic at the same time.
It doesn't read like someone who wants to be a boy, so much as someone who doesn't want to be squished into the feminine stereotypes. *Duh!*.
You can look pretty, but sophisticated, just by using a little concealer to hide blemishes (in preference to foundation), a little mascara & chapstick so your lips don't dry out, for basics. If you're happy to use a little more, a little eyeliner OR a well suited lipstick is good, whichever suits you best, but emphasising the lips OR the eyes tends to look classier, and less 'girly'. Check out pictures of models. |

moving discussion here from article, as courtesy to user: When you are lucky enough to receive an invite to a "black tie" event.... take it literally..wear a tux. You have the best of both worlds. No one will fault you if you do not strangle yourself with the bowtie. On the other hand if it suits you, go ahead. Be true to yourself. The thought often stated "If I knew then what I know now..." makes me think of my high school years. My problems were not this complicated but as I look back on those who seemed to have it all going for them, I remember the people who were who they were, not the pretenders. |

| This is misogynistic crap. If you don't like make-up, then DON'T WEAR IT, how about that? One can learn to embrace their gender, no matter what it may be, on their own terms, and without being forced to change who they truly are. Fight societal norms! Defy gender stereotypes! I vote people learn to love unconditionally and stop putting so many constrictions on themselves and others. | |

That article didn't help. At all. Why should I have to wear ANY make up, and dress like a girl. Crappp.

Um. Well. My, goodness. I'm not a transgender, or whatever, but if you are, you don't need an article (especially a terrible one like this) to help you. All you need to do is be yourself and remember that God loves you. You don't need to care what others think, but if things get REALLY out of hand, you should talk to a principal or police officer or whatever.

Don't ever take advice from the internet when it comes to trying to be yourself.
Just be yourself.

i feel it should be renamed, as it does not include ftm transgender issues, just how to not fit into the female stereotype

This article appears to falsely imply that these tips will work for every female-to-male transgendered person. In fact, they probably won't work for long for anyone who is truly transexual. While it might help when you're too young to transition, it won't help forever. It should include some information or links to information on how to transition, because for the majority of transexuals, it's transitioning or suicide.

This article seems a little offensive to transgender people. It seems like it is trying to teach trans people to just suck it up and not really be who they want to be. Also the author seems unclear on the correct terms of transgender vs. transexual.

This won't work. Most transsexuals have desperately tried to change, and did not succeed.

ha ha it was too stupid and definitely unexpected
I know where the writer of the article is coming from (trust me, I do), but unfortunately, I can't help but noticing that if you follow their advice, you will end up disrespecting yourself. Why?
1)Blush and gloss and mascara is a lot of make up. Do you see guys wearing blush and gloss and mascara? 2)Why be prepared to joke about women? The fact that you feel like a guy doesn't give you any f*cking right to insult or tolerate insults about any gender. Hitting people is not the only way to disagree, you know. 3)Boys can talk about girl stuff too you know. Like girls can talk about boy stuff. And anyone who doesn't tolerate that is a bigot.
