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).

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....

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’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...

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....

I plan on bringing this up with my doctor at my next blood work visit, but was curious if anyone had experience with this....

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...

TW: Chest and surgery...

Heya guys. Do you know anywhere I could get binding tape in Europe. I do know about transtape and been looking to get it, but do you guys know any other brands? I’m not sure about any of the websites that I have seen and hearing about the transtape not being the greatest with some allergies, I was curious do you guys know any...

Just one more thing to point at when people tell you you’ll regret “destroying your beautiful body” or whatever.

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...

It’s the first time it’s happened throughout our entire extended family....

I’m not at all up to date on what’s out there in regards to websites or posts or videos or the like. (Medical gatekeeping put me back in the closet 20ish years ago so I never really collected resources, I was just mostly doing my own thinking on my own.)...

An early-stages collaborative and open source resource repository for trans people. Seems to be looking for community contribution. NOTE: I am not at all affiliated...

Hey gang,...

I’ve tried a bunch of binders over the years, and my current favorite is a gc2b tank binder, but it’s a little clammy in hot weather. I’ve mostly been getting by with cotton sports bras at a band size two inches smaller than my actual size, with a square-cut, loose overshirt to disguise the lumpiness. That’s good enough...

Hi all! I just wanted to celebrate the accidentally gender affirming surgery I’ll be having! So I have a giant dick bag fibroid (tumor, usually benign) as big as a softball growing on my internal shark week cavity. My doctor has recommended that we hack the whole dang apparatus out to avoid future tumor growth. And. I. Am So....

Hii I'm nonbinary but I do want to look more masc. But I recently found out I have PCOS (Its not 100% confirmed by my PCP still waiting to see gynecologist for more treatment + confirming for sure)....

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 just updated the sidebar with some more formalized rules and a couple of resources. Right now its The Trevor Project and Trans Lifeline, as well as the Gender Dysphoria Bible and a list of where to get binders/packers. Anything else I should add?...

Just noticed that the language of this instance was set only to English, which means if you had undetermined selected as your profile language you couldn’t see/post here. Updated the language to undetermined and English. Let me know if there’s any issues!

I don't really know what to talk about exactly, so I guess just... how are you guys holding up?

i got top surgery (double mastectomy) like 3.5 years ago now. i stuck to massaging my scars because i didn’t actually want to reduce the appearance of my scars (idk why i was worried about this, they’re fucking massive LOL). i was more concerned with blood flow / nerve functionality than appearance...
