This is a really good question, and I’m hoping that my perspective can help.

There are lots of things about me that feels less masculine than I would like (aspects of my body, mannerisms, etc).

Even as someone AMAB, I have always had the issue of not looking or feeling particularly masculine, because we’re told being masculine is a bunch of specific things. That ends up leaving massive swathes of men thinking they’re weird instead of who they actually are.

Maybe that can help reframe your thought patterns more toward “men have hips like this, and men feel this way,” because both are true. It’s not you, it’s the weird social pressure thrust upon us about what a man is.

Hello fellow nb o7

In my case, my dysphoria got a little better after losing some weight and learning to work out to "modify" my shape a bit. Can't really do anything about my hip bones, but losing weight = losing fat around the hip = making it look less pronounced. I've also been focusing my workouts to get wider shoulders and more solid obliques, which makes the body look more like a "rectangle" instead of an "hourglass."

Putting on muscles as an afab takes a lot of time, esp if you're not on T. I'm still a long way to my ultimate goals, but I definitely don't dread looking at the mirror as much as I did a year ago!

I'm the opposite, transfem with narrow hips. With me the dysphoria is more biochemical though, so if I'm on hrt it doesn't bother me as much, whereas if I'm off it I feel despair that I'll never look like a 'real girl'

I'm not FTM and I am AMAB, so you may not be interested in my input. I just wanted to say that I have been told by multiple gay guys in the past that I have a nice ass and wide hips. So that does exist lol.
