There is a fine line with gender expression while you want to stay as male presenting, but its not super difficult as people are so blind to these things its unbelievable! For example your body shape can be very feminine, but if your voice, face, hair, clothing and mannerism is typical for a man, everybody sees and hears a man.
Some "markers" are stronger than others, but its not self explanatory, I think with body shape, hips do a lot, maybe even more than boobs unless they're really huge and can't ever be hidden. Voice is a MASSIVE one on this! Also body language. I have exhibited body language of a woman since I was kid, I tried to suppress it but wasn't really good at it. Many poeple read this and of course it was awkward and I got bullied for "being a girl" a lot when I was kid. Now in hindsight, I know what did it, it was combination of looks, body language and personality. People often tend to subconsciously sniff these things, even when they're blind to visual clues...
So in this sense, you have likely nothing to worry about. Or any guy who happens to have boobs even if they're somewhat obvious. To most people it will only look like moobs or pecs, gynecomastia or gymrat.
Awww, thank you, I think so too, my transition considering body changes has been phenomenally positive, its way beyond anything I expected. I'm so grateful for this forum and all the information posted here over the years. I don't think I would be doing this good if I hadn't dived so deep into the hormone sorcery that makes this stuff work. I'm still so surprised when I pass perfectly and people who don't know me yet take me as a cis woman all the time, not even close interaction for a good amount of time breaks it... Always scared of being clocked, but it just never happens any more. I don't even feel that I'm very feminine, other than for bodyshape. Or my voice, its not super bright either but nodoby picks up anything strange. What hurts is how I have lost so many friends and finding new ones is nearly impossible where I live and at my age it seems everybody has already settled to their sociel circles and they're always either busy or tired. Lot of the time I miss social interaction. Then again it wouldn't be the same as I can't live fully stealth, people who get to know me closer will find out at some point and that ruins it with almost everybody, except for most LGBT people.
