        No, but you see, I already have broad hips. I’ll never pass as a dude, so why try?

        Sorry, I meant this to also be light-hearted, but it’s… not.

          amab enby here, I’ve got incredibly wide hips for a “dude” and you’d never notice unless you actually walked up and checked. Work out your shoulders a bit and I can almost guarantee that nobody will notice once you’ve been on T for a while.

          One of my wife’s buddies has been on T for 6 years since he turned 18 and you’d never guess he wasn’t born a dude. Like one time his family put up a pre-transition picture of him and she didn’t know and thought he had a sister he looks so different now.

          Are you on T yet? You’d be surprised how much of the “broad hips” goes away when your body fat starts redistributing. Add some upper body workouts and you’ll look so good, I promise!

          I’m currently on the opposite journey, and if I can gain hips you can lose them. You just have to give the hormones a little time to work.

              You’ll figure it out.

              Between binders, packers, and whatever magic drag kings draw upon, there are plenty of ways to “preview” the kinds of changes that T would cause.

              But the good news is that while the changes from hormones are mostly permanent, they’re also slow. If you did start taking T, you’d have a little while to see how you feel before anything gets super noticable.

              Unironically, walking everywhere helps a lot. I went on a month long trip to Japan and was doing minimum 15000 steps a day. When I got back, literally everyone noticed my hips were significantly thicker.

              Bodyweight squats and yoga also help a ton, but require a bit more effort obviously.

              This is what I’m trying right now. I can’t personally speak to the results yet since I just started, but the general science is solid.

              This routine is for hips and glutes, but I guess you could just do the hip ones if for some reason you don’t want a round sexy butt

              Disclaimer: this company is selling a course, but they have some beginner exercises available for free on youtube. The free ones are what I’m doing now.
