I'm going on a seven day camping trip in a couple of months, and I'm worried about how I'm gonna bind the whole way through. None of the people I'm going with know I'm trans, and I'd rather keep it that way. Still waiting for top surgery......
Oh beautiful hair on mine legs,...
I'd like to grow my hair out more when the T starts to kick in. I've had my hair cut as short as can be without looking like a buzz cut. I generally pass well with this haircut....
Just one more thing to point at when people tell you you’ll regret “destroying your beautiful body” or whatever.
The manga is called "to strip the flesh" and I think it's good trans man rep. The first two chapters are about the trans man, the rest are unrelated short stories....
Not saying that I want to go full-corpo, but the idea of getting ahead in a career is really appealing to me. I feel stuck in my job I have now because there’s not much chance of advancement and the hours are really inconsistent. I’ve been considering going back to college to pursue something that would allow me to have a...
Tell Me Why is a video game created by the same people who made the 2015 game Life Is Strange. It features a brother and sister duo who try to get to the bottom of their mom's death. The brother is a gay trans man, and he's also voiced by a trans man (very rare). His being trans isn't the whole plot of the story, but there are...
This is the best information I've found on what T might do to your body to date. Most websites don't tell you this stuff, because much of it has been sourced from trans men's anecdotal evidence, but it is useful nonetheless. Highly recommend checking this out....
Hi
How do I not eat a shit ton of food every day because of my increased appetite? I feel bloated all of the time nowadays as well. Any advice on this is welcome.
I've been on 25mg of 1% gel for about a month. It's astonishing how different it's made me feel. 25mg is not much, and yet it's as if a cloud has lifted from my brain in recent days. A cloud that's been here since my brain was flooded with estrogen during first puberty. Can't wait to see how it'll feel with a higher dosage....
I love this book. The author, Loren Cameron (RIP), is FTM and decided to make a book featuring his photography of other transmasculine people, their bodies, and stories....
Vocal passing isn't just about how deep your voice is. There are other aspects to making yourself sound like a dude (or more neutral).
I recently tried out binding tape, specifically transtape. It took some getting used to, but now it is my go-to method as opposed to the classic binder. The most helpful tip that I've found so far is to apply the tape at an angle instead of horizontally across like the instructions say. It does a better job and keeping it flat...
I’m very averse to going to get haircuts, and typically only get one when my hair length starts getting me misgendered (or it starts to get in my face and drive me crazy). But I just recently got a haircut, the barber wasn’t weird about it and gave me the style I asked for, and now everything feels SO much nicer without hair...
I am not affiliated with this person. I have spoken to her in passing and she is a great gal in a tough spot....
I have heard a lot of contradictory things on this subject. "It'll happen in six months" or "You have to lose weight and gain it back for it to happen in a reasonable amount of time"...
With warm weather just around the corner, that means that the dysphoria hoodie must be retired. Any insight on styling and types of clothing that help with achieving a straight figure but won't overheat?
It’s the first time it’s happened throughout our entire extended family....
I'm a transguy who transitioned in the 2000s and have had top surgery. I toured a gym that has a beautiful sauna, steam room, and hot tub that I'd like to join, but clothes are not permitted in any of the above. I'm worried about running into trouble if I go naked....
Now a disclaimer; I’m not FtM, but non-binary and struggling with vocal dysphoria. I’ve had voice masculinization therapy on my mind for a long while now, but unfortunately gender-affirming vocal therapy is near-nonexistent in the conservative country I live in. (fuck this place tbh) Therefore, I’ve been thinking of having...
I'm contemplating trying to make my own binders because it seems like everything I can find is either made of materials that are hard on the skin or not very effective for larger chests, and it all tends to cause "monoboob" effect. Also trying to avoid buying more polyester/plastic fibers, which is extremely difficult when...
