Transmasc tip (or just for anyone who wants to look taller, but I find it very gender affirming personally)

But heelys. Trust me.

A) They’re fun

B) (and more importantly) if you take the wheels out and just wear them as sneakers, they add an inch or two onto your height while still looking like just everyday sneakers (because the heel is lifted to make room for the wheels)

hi! in case anyone was curious, spectrum boxers seem to compress your hips somewhat & do genuinely seem to make them more typically masculine, along with having general contruction that's better suited to transmascs. do what you will with this information.

#spectrum outfitters #for context: i got a large and they still compressed my hips somewhat #i as a multigender person did not like this so i am going to donate mine to value village but i know a lot of trans guys esp are looking #for smth w an effect such as this so #(or i wore them once for less than half an hour if anyone would like them donated dm me like i get that sounds weird but spectrum is $$$) #trans guy #trans man #ftm #trans #transmasc #transgender #nonbinary #transmasc tips #but yeah. gonna stick to boyshorts & tighter fitting guy boxers personally #& this isn't me trying to talk shit abt spectrum. i literally love my binder from them. #HOWEVER i will say internationally the boxers take way longer to arrive than their binders (ordered on the same day) & mine came with a #small hole in the waistband but it had been over a month & i didn't notice until after i took the tag off post inital try on. #(inital try on was w very thin clothes underneath) #so be aware of that if you aren't in the uk. #*over a month as in over a month since ordering #the closet #lgbt+

Tip of the day! (mostly transmasc)

Zinc helps increase testosterone levels!!

For those of you with transphobic parents or even if you can't get HRT yet, zinc tablets and gummies should be useful.

Why do voice training when you can just make your voice unnaturally deep on command and go from sounding like a 12 year old to sounding like an eldritch abomination

I transtape my chest up pretty regularly, bc I have an issue with breathing in binders. but today is the first day it has actually flattened my chest well, to the point that I am totally comfortable wearing a tight t shirt.

so my advice for today is don't give up, and keep experimenting with different methods. everyone's tissue is different, and there's different places that sit more comfortably on different bodies.

heres the method that works for me: I do one large piece pushing them sideways and down, like they tell you to. then I apply a smaller piece pulling the tissue upwards and to the side. the tape ends up looking like a X shape.

just experiment by pushing your chest down with your hands, and see where the best place to hold them down with one palm is. then tape it down there. then reanalyze what is still not laying/hanging right, and find where else would mold it into a final shape. you might need more pieces than that!! and it'll take awhile.

I think it took me about 15 tries to get here. but I think this might be my new binding method!!

#its not PERFECTLY flat but #neither is my binder #and this is slightly flatter than my binder i think #so im VERY impressed #plus you can wear tight or sheer or low cut shirts #without worrying about the binder!!! #absolutely a lifesave #trans tape #transtape #transmasc tips #rowan talks

Hi! This ask is asking for tips relating to trans stuff so you can ignore if you don’t have any! thanks

Basically, I’m a genderqueer person who might be a trans man. I cut my hair recently but unfortunately it wasn’t short enough. I was wondering if you had any tips to make hair look more stereotypically masculine?

Secondly, do you have any tips for weeding out who are Allie’s and who aren’t? I’m not exactly sure who I can be open with and studd

thanks! Have a good day

This question make me smile so much, I’m more than happy to help!

Keep in mind, this is all from my own experience, but I’ll try to include some things in here that I have heard from other people too.

To me, the most important tip is to experiment a little bit. There are always gonna be lots of different people telling you lots of different things, don’t be afraid to try a few of them. I can tell you what ended up working for me, but don’t limit yourself to just that, everyone finds their gender euphoria in different ways.

For me, it was when I started wearing dark clothes and neutral colors that really helped. Baggy clothes have helped a lot too with my body dysphoria, especially with the added help of layering. I have a couple long sleeve tees I like throwing under short sleeved ones, and button ups and jackets that can go on top, anything to help hide my form and give a darker, more masculine appearance.

I’ve talked about it a little bit before on here, but tall shoes are a good way to add a little height, and I like ones that do so subtly, like heelys (you can take out the wheel and they just look like normal sneakers, but add about two inches). I like wearing eye liner and dark eye makeup especially on the under eye, as men tend to have more defined eyebags. There’s a lot of other masc makeup tutorials out there, but as someone who is not good at makeup, that was the option I went with. More subtle things that no one really noticed, but helped me, were switching to men’s deodorant and soaps.

As for hair, it definitely depends on the texture. I kept my hair short for a long time though in fear that longer hair would make me less of a trans man. My hair isn’t too long, but it’s around shoulder length, which I was very worried about dysphoria wise, and it was hard for a moment, until I figured out how to style it. Obviously, this comes down to texture. I have very fine straighter hair, and so for me, adding a little volume, layering, and curl helped it become less of a bob, and more masculine. I don’t know the science behind that, but it helped. Layering really helped so it wasn’t just flat longer hair, it looked messier, and it also helped me to get just some medium hold pomade and slick it back slightly.

As for allies, that is honestly one of the hardest parts. I got pretty lucky in having family that I knew was open, like my siblings and cousins, and I didn’t really have many friends as a whole at the time, so I was mostly starting on a blank slate, but I did have one pretty religious friend that I was terrified about. It starts with trying to observe small things about them. Have they ever said anything about the trans community? What would their other beliefs do they that that may sway their opinion in one way or another? Have they ever talked about pronouns or gender expression? Then try bringing up transgender topics in popular news and media and see their response. With a lot of people, there may not be a definitive way to say, and a really scary jump has to be made. Just remember, that if anyone does respond poorly, it reflects on them, not you. It’s not worth keeping a secret from someone in a friendship and not living happily as yourself. The friendships you are meant to keep, will stay through this change, or they’ll come around. And yeah, losing people hurts like hell, but knowing who you can then trust to be yourself makes those good relationships all the better.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, don’t be afraid to ask or reach out, cause I am more than happy to help on this amazing journey of yours. Being trans and being able to find yourself in that way is a beautiful experience, even through the heartbreak and pain. More than anything, do not give up on this journey. You are so strong for taking all this on, and if you ever feel isolated, know that you are never alone, and there are always those of us out there that will support you.

Edit: Elaborating on the hair thing below the line

These are both pictures of me, a few years apart, but both pre medical transition. My hair is about the same length, only the second is a lot “messier” with more layers and using volumizing mouse and gel. Some people will also use hair irons in a certain way, it just takes a little more time.

hey I need a little advice

As a big chested individual I get dysphoria pretty bad, and I can't get a binder, so I was wondering if anyone has any advice for transtape?

I see people say that it's not good/effective, and others say that it works fine. I had transtape before, and it worked as well as trying to kiss a hornet, but after I ran out, I've seen people say I was doing it wrong?

I was just wondering if the trans elders have any advice, and if there are cheaper (but safe!) Alternatives of the transtape (bc it is expensive and I've heard that the actual company isn't that great)? Thank you in advance!

Hello there! I've updated The Transgender Dictionary so that instead of a lowly carrd, it is instead a HTML website of my own creation. Feel free to share it around as you like.

Some sections are a bit barren, though I must admit that I am only one person. Research is tedious and I get busy and distracted quite often. If anyone has anything to be added or updated, please send me a message or an ask. Thank you!

hii i saw ya post about binding with ace bandages and i was wondering if, like, the elastic kind is ok? i've been using them, you know the kind, like this:

anyway have a nice day

Ohhhh boy I think this ask is like a year old or something

They do work but they roll really easily so it can rub your skin raw plus give an uneven feel + look to ur binding and the layers traps sweat a lot easier so is stinky at best and could cause an infection at worst

Honestly my advice is to double sports bra bind till you can get an actual binder or if it’s really causing you unbearable dysphoria do it just not for long periods of time and make sure to disinfect them and change them often

DONT USE DUCK TAPE you can rip your skin or ur nips off :((

My biggest tip to ppl who are the beginning of their gender self-discovery is to let it marinate. You don't know which label fits you the most? Don't worry about that. It will come with time. You might change your labels multiple times, and it's completely normal.

Start with pronouns and words that feel comfortable to you. They should give you gender euphoria. If you feel uncomfortable with certain pronouns, etc, it might be a sign that you should drop them. You don't need to change your name at first. You don't need to do that at all!

Ask your friends or family that you know will support you to use different pronouns/names. Even if you can do that only online for safety reasons.

Don't rush things. There is no pressure. You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
