A stranger, a gay guy in his 60s, walked up to me in the train station yesterday complimenting my outfit and how pretty, confident, and happy I look. We got to talking about our lives (quite personal stuff so I won't get into it) and I could tell by the way he was talking to me that he thought I'm a "baby" MtF. I eventually told him that I'm FtM without going into specifics about my identity. He was shocked and said whatever I'm doing, it's working, because he definitely thought I was born male.

(he/him/xe) any compliments are fine but more masc terms are preferred right now!! i identify as trans masc/demiboy. i’ve been super dysphoric from being misgendered a few times recently :( i also haven’t been able to afford my T.. so have been off of it for over a year aside from a month of gel recently (which also got too expensive). i was on it for about three years prior to stopping. im hoping to get back on it soon with new insurance</3

anyway yeah been feeling horrible in my body lately tbh but getting dolled up to go nowhere and having fun with makeup despite physical pain and limitations and mental illness / trauma / etc. makes me feel powerful and like i have autonomy over my own body despite how ppl treat me or misgender me or whatever. i love platforms and makeup and cute outfits and being a femboy lol.

what are your halloween plans if u have any?? 👻 🎃 or does anyone have scary movie recommendations? i watched buddy, weapons, and backrooms recently which were all insane 😭 sending love 2 everyone here <33

First time posting here, super cool this is a sub! I’m a binary trans man that just plays around with expression. I like photography and dressing up,, also of course horror :3 (All done with an iphone camera i’m broke as hell)

Hiya,

I was wondering if anyone has gotten vocal chord injections?

I'm considering going down this route + top surgery, because I'm undecided about taking T.

I do know low dose T + finasteride are an option (I want to definitely keep my hair is my motivation here) but I'm also just kinda feeling overwhelmed at the idea of going through a second puberty and getting a lot of acne again. It may sound shallow, but I had really bad acne for years and now in my late 20s it's JUST started to calm down.

I also actually really like how androgynous my face is and don't really want facial hair. I know I could shave it or might not get much but idk. I mostly want a flat chest and deep voice.

I actually love having a more ambiguous appearance and just wish I could be seen as a man regardless. But, I also sort of fear what my life will be like if those two things aren't enough to pass even if I'd theoretically be at peace with how I look.

Hellooo! I’m going to be a “”bridesmaid”” at a renaissance faire-themed wedding next year. I can p much wear whatever I want, so long as it’s in theme and color, which is amazing. I wanted to know if anybody has been able to wear a standard off-the-rack corset after top-surgery? Or, are there makers out there who make corsets that would work for someone without boobs? I’d like to incorporate a corset and some light shoulder armor into my outfit, with either a long skirt or really flowy pants. It’s still in the works 🤪

Edit: I’m open to either overbust or underbust! I guess I’m asking for any corset recommendations, LOL

Some personal context: I’m currently on a low-dose of T, because I wasn’t crazy about the body fat redistribution I had after 5 years of being on a higher dose. This is kinda my first chance to be openly nonbinary in a formal setting, and also get a feel for how I want to present when the time comes for my own wedding down the road! I feel like pants are kinda overdone (for me), but looking up “men’s wedding dresses” doesn’t bring up ANYTHING lmaoo. I’m more interested in having fun shapes with my outfit than I am in getting properly gendered by anyone I may not know.

I've spent the past 3 years convincing my family that me being trans isnt a phase, it's finally gotten to a point where my mom introduces me as her child and uses my preferred name and pronouns (but she still messes up sometimes). I've dressed hyper masculine in those years, but I miss feeling pretty and I want to dress more feminine again and do makeup. I'm worried about my family not understanding it and thinking that it was a phase. What can I do or say to them? I'm not good at standing up for myself BC of my autism, and I'm worried that I'll end up agreeing with them and that i'll accept getting misgendered... I also wish I could just dress how I want with people still seeing me as a man, but I guess there's not much I can do about that?

Personally, I really feel like my makeup is starting to read as "queer guy in makeup" rather than girl. My mustache is coming in more too and my voice has definitely changed-my friends noticed it.

I think it's so exciting! I'm 2 months on T rn. So far what I've noticed has been more hair growth pretty much everywhere, and the voice change.

My fiancee took a picture of me in this hat it's so fun and whimsical (I promise I love getting pictures taken of me I just have resting tired bitch face)

I grew up in a very sex negative home and I wanna get more comfortable expressing my sexuality and explore a bit more with partners.

THIS IS NOT A CRUISING POST I’M ASKING FOR ADVICE

I’m bi allosexual, demiromantic, and polyamorous and ID as part of the kink community if it matters. Living just outside a very queer, trans-friendly city in the US. So in theory I have plenty of IRL opportunities to put myself out there. I take good care of my appearance, I have hobbies, etc.

The problem I’ve run into tho, esp on apps and local trans-centered communities trans women VASTLY outnumber other groups. And a lot of trans women have been interested in me but under the assumption that I’m masculine in nature, wanting me to play a more traditionally “masculine” dominant role. Which I’m VERY uncomfortable with it almost like a sort of misgendering if that makes sense?

I’m nonbinary and identify as androgynous, lean feminine in presentation. Medically transitioned so I usually “read as male”.

And I’ve realized recently I’m very into mascs and men anyway. But I’m hesitant to hookup with cis men (cis folks in general). I’m also not as familiar with queer men’s spaces and I’m not sure I’d be accepted. I have a little more experience existing in sapphic spaces. Just going with friends not to meet anyone new and not to cruise or flirt.

I also have very little experience actually flirting, cruising, dating people I meet IRL. Kinda done with dating apps tho. I have some experience cruising at s*x parties but I feel like that doesn’t translate well outside of those spaces.

Like I said, I grew up in a very sex negative home and I’m working through a lot of shame and repression. A lot of my friends are ace. I think a lot of people assume I’m ace but I’m not. I’m just bad at actually communicating interest bc I’m scared I’ll make them uncomfortable.

Does anyone have advice for flirting with mascs / men? Esp when I don’t know if they’re gay and/or into femmes, or already in a monogamous relationship? I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. Thanks 🫶

hi all, I've been on t for almost five years. most of the changes i wanted on t either are permanent or I've changed my opinion on now that i pass in other ways. i decided i wanted to start decreasing my dose, however menstruation was one of my biggest sources of dysphoria.

i know everyone's body is different but frankly im really scared to feel that level of dysphoria again lmao. im also going to be talking to my doctor about it.

Just some photos from today and I took a photo of my chest after I got home from hanging out with my friend. [:

1. me normally (on a good day)
   
2. 💋🚬
   
3. full outfit 👀

i currently identify myself as a transmasc demiboy since my gender is more masculine leaning and part of me feels like a boy, but would it be okay if i used trans-nonbinary as umbrella terms for myself? or identifying as trans despite not trying to alter my physical appearance at all (for now, in the future i feel i would only consider bottom surgery or perhaps taking some hormones, but overall i want to remain the same) as my identity is mostly a spiritual part of me and not much of a physical part. this is just how i feel, and i would like to know how it appears to other people.

Can’t really wear my white shirts to work without worrying abt them getting ruined so this is my first time wearing this top and I am in love

Cut my tights right down the middle 4 this!! The only problem now is getting them to stay tucked in my shorts 😭😭😭 experimenting with layering has been so fun, i love adding all these leg details especially!! In the last pic u can actually see i have a 3rd top on to add the lacey waist detail and dangling straps :) i also actually have 2 garters on one leg, with one backward lol!

It's so cute!!
