Anonymous asked: I'm a transmale, junior at the same college you went to and I'm currently experiencing a lot of trouble with my parents. They just set conditions of continuing to help me pay for school, which are that I do not go on testosterone or legally change my name before I graduate. The ugly situation with them is its own problem; what I am actually looking to ask is if 1. I can have my name...

pshsx1-jgaston asked: Hey! You're awesome! I'm glad that I stumbled onto your blog whenever I did... (I think it's b/c you started following me for some crazy reason). Anyway, following you allows me to step into a different pair of shoes for once. I dated someone who will be going through the opposite of what you're going through and I never quite knew what to say, what advice to give, nor did I...

Anonymous asked: Do you ever wish you had facial hair? I'm finding this to be a frustrating part of my transition. Being on T yet not growing much facial hair. Is there anything that can be done?

ancora-imparo:
And if he hasn’t fought for anything…if he’s always just rolled over and accepted what others dole out as his fate then he will never fight for you.
RUN!
Far.
And fast.
You’ll thank me later but you’re welcome now.
An interesting twist to put on the scars some of us trans men wear.

Hilary: It's one of those giant churches with the big LCD screen and everything
Mom: Also they are not okay with anything gay or not like them... But their Christmas Eve service probably comes with a lot of "Christmas Miracles"

Dad: Hallelujah, he's been SAVED!

I recently found my old copy of Invisible Man. It was my favorite book in high school. I wrote my college essay on it. This paragraph was underlined in my book. It’s funny, because I think this was my favorite quote before I really even had the courage to follow...

This is a link to a story that has been floating around Tumblr. It’s one of those “Christmas Shoes” type of stories that is supposed to melt yr heart.
In it, a young boy is seen trying to buy a doll. The speaker of the story approaches the boy and asks “who he wished to give the doll to.”
It is automatically assumed that the boy does not want to buy the doll for...
ohaijey asked: I am so glad I came across your blog. I took a social phycology class in high school, and fell in love with how the brain works. And after looking at myself, I realized I was pansexual. I loved not only socially accepted men and women, but transgender as well :) I think classes and books dealing with sexuality really open up your perspective on people. I am so thrilled to see your progress, and I...

ASK. TELL.
canyoubesure:
We still have work to do, as this legislation does not protect transgender service members. Apparently, you can be court-martialed for cross dressing, etc.
Grace is referring to the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”! Which finally passed the senate (after passing the house) today.

My first exposure to trans blogs was through reading a friend's tumblr, and that friend happened to reblog your posts pretty frequently.

And the fact that transphobia isn’t even addressed in this (and many other articles and posts on the topic) illustrates how much it is treated like a valid opinion.

The long awaited post on bottom surgery and the...
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion online (largely on tumblr) amongst trans men about bottom surgery. This discourse, unfortunately, has been neither factual/informative nor sensitive. Instead, there were a handful of young men publicly stating their personal (but offensive) opinions on surgical options and results for FTM genitalia.
This is not, however, the first time I’ve seen...
