Last night wasn’t what I planned but at least I was surrounded by people who care about me
& the night just kept goin
A question to those who have come out to young children:
My niece and nephew are visiting me, they are almost 6 and 4. But I haven’t really come out to them. They both call me my androgynous name that everyone in my family calls me. But now that I’m on hormones, it may be a while before they see me and I’m suddenly very masculine to them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about speaking to them about this? Should I just be forward with them or should I make it as simple as possible.
I to would like to know. Also the parents of my cousins don’t really want them to know. So I feel obligated not to say anything. But kids ask questions. All I’ve been doing is avoiding them but then my changes increase with time & they’ll see a more dramatic change vs small changes if I see them often so I know that isn’t a solution.
Advice?
The Self Made Men is proud to announce our new 18+ site. We have been working on it for several weeks now and really like the way that it’s headed. The idea behind it is sort of a Cosmo for Transmen and the people who love them. There is no reason we can’t include healthy, sexual behavior into our community and culture. We added an adult store, full of penis prosthetics, harnesses, pumps, lotions, lube, anal kits, masturbation devices and more. Myth busters… Partner tips… Some awesome features.
Please take a look! - Also, if you’d like to help out and write for us, contact us at theselfmademen@gmail.com
I don’t want to hide that I have a boyfriend from my grandparents or parents. But I’m afraid they really won’t take my gender identity seriously. I don’t want them thinking I’ve magically become a straight woman now. Because I’m not. But I don’t think they will see me and him as a gay couple, only a straight one.
But then I think.:
They’ve already put me through a lot.
Fuck what they think about my relationship.
I’m happy and they can’t take that away.
My rule still stands though that they can’t meet him until they can address me correctly in front of him. I refuse to be disrespected in front of him.
I’ll tell them. Probably after he meets my sisters..

Are you fucking kidding me. How the fuck is this for trans people in general if it’s a top surgery benefit? Really disappointed in the lack of commentary.
yeah what
how come it doesn’t also maybe benefit hormones for any/all, bottom surgeries, or like…education? Advocation? Better policies to protect trans women? Gender neutral spaces? Like if it’s trans-in-general prom and it’s only for the benefit of trans dudes then that’s a problem jesus christ
What is this from?
I want to have a “take my breasts away” party. to specifically benifit my top surgery fund.
&it’s from The L Word. that’s Jenny in the pictures hanging the posters up.
it’s just a raise money for someone’s surgery party i don’t see why there’s so much anger. should the poster have read transman party instead of trans prom? is that where the fault lies? it does specify that it’s a top surgery benefit party. because that’s what they were aiming for. to benefit a top surgery.

FS magazine are looking for a gay trans man / gay man with transsexual history for an article on role models - aspirational people that other gay men can look up to, eschewing celebrity.
The participant would need to be comfortable identifying themselves as…
if i were gay identified instead of queer identified i’d do it
