reblog or send me an ask
For those college-bound FTMs who are looking for somewhere to apply, Antioch College in Ohio is extremely trans*-friendly, and their application process is amazing.
They’re also giving out full-tuition scholarships for students applying for the next three school years(the last school year this applies to being 2014-2015), so it’s worth a try if you’re financially-burdened. c:

Hey guys, I’m Caro. I’m genderfluid, but lately I’ve been pretty much in the dudely end of the spectrum. Been pondering dudely names and such. If you want to come chat, my askbox is open! therapsida.tumblr.com
Untitled Poem by Matthew
In the city, you can only see a fraction of the stars in the sky.
Tiny lights of taxi cabs and street signs drown out most stars,
though they’re dying just the same.
This is my coming out letter,
my bread and butter, my morning coffee.
In this classroom,
I sit front row.
You can look for me on this week’s pop quiz,
bonus points if you can guess what’s between my legs.
I wish we were five, when we didn’t have to close our eyes to play in the same sandbox.
Born into a cage, this chamber is loaded, let this bird fly.
My skin does not fit well.
I am your thesis, hello, you’ve found me. Write me down.
If you struck a matchbox and your flam didn’t light,
would you try the other side?
If a semicolon were a street in a neighborhood of colons,
where would it be?
From ten stories up, the fifth floor doesn’t look so bad.
When I burn, I will burn bright,
and even the city lights won’t mask my star’s rebirth,
even if it takes lightyears to get there.
My name is Daniel and I’m from a small area around Louisville, Kentucky. I like hip-hop, and k-pop, and the occasional alternative rock, and my blog is just a whole bunch of random shit. Show me some love?

Meh and stuff.
I got my DHEA and Tribulus from amazon yesterday. Started taking 50mg DHEA and 1000mg Tribulus in the vain hope of something changing because I can’t be arsed to wait for ages for my appointment at CHX GIC in May because it’s basically just depressing me that it is ages away. Here is a picture of me in my slanket feeling all down in the dumps and lonely because I want to be wanted and loved and all that crap.
I’m Edward Adam K, 22, London, my tumblr. Be my friend?
Coming out at work?
Hey guys, I just recently got a job at Old Navy in Brentwood, Tennessee and the south isn’t notorious for being the most accepting place, but I know it depends on person to person. I’ve been out for a year, but this is my first job where I’ll be living as my true self. How do I go about asking everyone to use male pronouns and use my chosen name? Should I just tell my manager and when I introduce myself, introduce myself as Jude? I don’t want everyone knowing I’m trans and although I may be short and look like a 12 year old boy, I pass rather well. My voice is no where near being high pitched and girly and I have no female mannerisms or anything. I start work next Sunday so any advice would be much appreciated.

NEED A X-SMALL OR SMALL BINDER!
i’m looking for a binder asap. if you have one, please message me, ask me.. whatever. haha here »»> jaydondiamond.tumblr.com
So, Uh, Hi!
Hey, I’m Harvey and this is my first time posting. ^^; And uhm, yes, yes I do have a tumblr. http://bravestlittlesoldier.tumblr.com Feel free to drop me an ask or a message or something. I’m 14, so I kind of have to be pre-anything. I turn 15 in February. Uhm…what else to say. ><; Gosh, sorry, I’m nervous cause this is my first time on something like this. I’ve been binding since November when I figured this out, and I’ve stuck with it because it felt right. At first, the only way I was able to convince my mum to buy me a tighter sports bra for binding was for cosplay. I cosplay a lot of the male Homestuck characters, so I thought it worked pretty well. And then suddenly over Christmas I apparently grew a size.
Oh, uh, this is me, by the way, not in cosplay for once. A rare sight!
So, yeah, that’s me being all chill and everything. Well, uhm. Something else that I want to get off my chest is that I came out to JUST my mum on the 25th this week and practically all of my dad’s side of the family found out a month ago. Mum doesn’t know this. But, uhm, I told her and I do happen to have a recording of it, it’s just about half an hour long and a good 20 minutes of silence. In the end she gave me a good 10 reasons why I couldn’t possibly be trans and then finished with, “But know you who are and be who you are.” Since then, she’s switched calling me “babe,” “girly,” “that girl,” as playful family pet names. Instead it’s just “kiddo,” “this one,” “that one,” “it.” I’ve tried my best to get rid of pretty much all of my girly stuff and I was hoping to take my girl clothes out to GoodWill this weekend. I also have a boyfriend (he’s genderfluid currently identifying as male. female bodied and sweetest person ever) that she doesn’t know about.
blah. Her excuses for me not being trans were along the lines of; “You were always nurturing with your toys,” “A guy wouldn’t be caught dead listening to Glee,” “You have too many flowers in your room in bottles,” “You never used your toys as weapons.” My GSA at school was aware that I was coming out that day because I was texting my boyfriend because I was sick and our club meetings are always at lunch. So, uhm, yeah. So I posted to my GSA’s Facebook page saying, “Hey, this happened.” Someone that had been a previous member said, “Well, my good FTM friend is very nurturing and he loves Glee and he’s got lots of flowers in his room, too. So her arguments are invalid.” And since that, all the members of GSA have been coming up to me and saying, “Awww, are you okay, Harvey?”
I just wanted to drop by, say hi, and get y’alls opinions. ;o; I love you all for support and as support and good luck yourselves!
Pre/Post T photos?
Hey, if any guys have any Pre T vs any amount of time on T pictures they’d be willing to share with me so my boy and I can gage how much someone might change over how much time on T, that be great. You can just drop em in my submit or whatever http://spaz94.tumblr.com/

Orientation
This seems to be a huge concern with transitioning and although I’m only three and a half months on hormones I just wanted to explain my experience with sexual orientation so far.
Before I started testosterone I’d heard about other people’s experiences with their sexual orientation changing (at least a little) after starting T and ending up gay. So, naturally I had the same concern. I’ve pretty much been exclusively attracted to men or masculine identified people my entire life. What if testosterone turns me straight?! But I’m queer to the core and really proud to be a [insert possibly offensive derogatory term here – my personal favorites being ‘cocksucker’ or ‘shirtlifter’]. I couldn’t fathom it. See, vaginas and breasts and all things ‘female’ repulsed me. Not to mention that emotionally I didn’t know how to connect to girls and they mostly just bewildered me. I fit in better with guys, found them more aesthetically pleasing and they didn’t have any scary ‘girl parts’ I had to contend with. If testosterone turned me straight I knew I’d feel like a fish out of water (and a bit like a 27 year old virgin). But really, I didn’t take any of my little concerns seriously. Ultimately I “knew” I wouldn’t turn straight because, well, girls – Eew!!
I was wrong.
Sort of…
Testosterone did NOT ‘turn me straight’. Yes, I do find women sexually attractive now, more so than men actually, but testosterone has had no direct effect on my orientation. What it has affected is how I relate with my own body and my comfort level, which has in turn, altered the way I see other people. I realized what I had been doing all my life is projecting MY dysphoria onto girls. I hated my chest and basically everything ‘girl’ about me so I lumped it all into a general category of revulsion and got as far away as possible. Now that I’m getting more comfortable in my body and society is starting to perceive me the way I perceive myself, I’m a lot more secure in the understanding that I am not a girl, but some people are, and those people are HOT. I mean, I still prefer ‘gentlemen’ company, but that probably has a lot to do with habit and comfort zone. Also I really have yet to properly date anyone since beginning my transition. I’ve come to realize that liking women doesn’t jeopardize my ‘queerness’. Besides, I’m still just as attracted to guys as I always was – especially other transguys – I just get this new bonus on top of that. Also, now I get to honestly embrace that wonderful ‘pansexual’ identity that’s so popular with kids these days. If it’s good enough for Captain Jack, it’s good enough for me.
Much love,
- M (A)
