Anonymous asked: I noticed you haven't been updating as much are you planning to keep doing xxboy or are you gonna focus on autostraddle stuff?
You can find me on Autostraddle! →
I was approached a couple weeks ago by the editors at Autostraddle about writing for them.
As you may know Autostraddle is a lesbian-leaning queer site and this introduction post talks about how I as a man can still fit in that setting.
I’m SO excited to be writing for them - the site is full of hilarious articles and videos as well as some really well-thought-out posts. Definitely an...

Anonymous asked: Hey, man, love your blog. Men like you make me proud to be FtM.
I have a question, though:
How do you have the "starting the T" talk with your doc?
I'm planning on having it with mine at the end of the month, and I'd just like some advice on how to bring it up and stuff.

WatchI was never butch. Not when I lived as a girl and not as a man, either. And though I never bought into gender roles, I don’t think I fully embraced the concept of male femininity until I realized that I myself was male and feminine.
In order to accept myself as male, I had to accept that men could be feminine. So through my transition, I have become more and more aware of male femininity...

Anonymous asked: What percentage of your friends are male, female, str8, gay, etc. ? I've heard a lot of trans dudes who transition get stuck with a lot of lesbians as friends. Is that true?

Anonymous asked: about the question on double incision, from what i've read top surgeons tend to say if your pectorals are more developed it makes it easier to know where your male chest would be. that could cause someone with more developed pecs to have slightly better nipple placement, but it shouldn't really make much of a difference except making it easier for the surgeon.

Anonymous asked: I've heard that it makes a really huge difference for double incision if you have very well developed pectoral muscles. I also read that if they are big enough it will hide the scars completely. Do you know if this is true? Also is it even attainable within say 6 months?

FOLLOW MY REBLOG TUMBLR! →
I am shifting this blog so that it is almost entirely original content, original commentary, and Q&A.
If I ever want to reblog someone’s post without commentary or spread the word about events and elements within the trans community, I will use this new blog for that. It will be my sort of catch-all for trans and gender related stuff that I find cool/interesting/important but...

Tips for Binding

Binding is not comfortable. Well, binding is not always comfortable. But, for many, it has to be done. Especially for those who are big-chested, this can prove to be very difficult. A few tips on binding, for the bigger-chested folks:
You will probably have to layer, so you might as well accept it now. You can make this easier and more lightweight with plain, white...
