Professional photos

I forgot to post this when I first got access to my play photos. I worked as tech for my schools fall show. We did Midsummer night dream. We had to take company photos and I didn't really like the others so here's what I feel is my best.

Multiraciality and HRT?

This is such a stupid question. Please bear with me.

I'm biracial Dominican (father) and Korean (mother) and I've always looked like my mother, just darker skinned and hairier. Otherwise, I just look East Asian. Obviously my racial makeup is not going to change on HRT, but I know HRT tends to make you look like your same-gender parent.

I'm pretty much asking other multiracial guys on HRT how their journeys worked, and how much they ended up resembling that parent and so on. I don't really know where else to ask this question, because trans discussions are oftentimes white-dominated and multiraciality really never comes up. I know I won't get a concrete answer for my specific scenario, but I'd at least like to hear other anecdotes from guys in similar situations.

Does anybody else not pass to black dudes at all as a black trans dude

Idk if it's just me, but throughout my transition journey I have never not once passed to a fellow brotha. And it's so confusing to me? I pass (sometimes) fine and dandy with any other race/ethnicity, and even with black women, but black men immediately clock me as a lesbian or a "lost girl" and I'm just like 😧

Do y’all also feel like this?

I'm Afro Caribbean (🇯🇲🇹🇹) and sometime I feel as if I'm whitewashed for being a trans dude. Or because of how black women are so heavily masculinized I've internalized that somehow. I know that Being trans and black arent mutually exclusive but it's just this worm in the back of my head telling me that I shouldn't be like this and it really fucking sucks.

Facial changes, 2 years micro-dosing T!

I tend to avoid looking at ID pictures, but I had to have some taken yesterday. It struck me that I didn’t feel the usual urge to cringe. it felt like I was looking at Me.

I’ll be two years in 3 days and it’s euphoric to see changes side by side in what is usually an unflattering experience.

I'm AMAB(NB) but gosh I feel so empathetic to this sub

Average post in mainstream non-political sub that doesn't explicitly ban politics: VOOOOTE BLUE OR YOU'RE A LITERAL NAZI!!! IDGAF ABOUT GAZA!!!

Me: I'm not even American and 站着说话不腰疼的中产白人新目田可以去neoliberal的sub发帖别在这里逼逼もういいよってみんなアメリカ人だと思ってる? I'm bipolar, autistic, POC, working class, and transgender and live in some random 9th world shithole and here you are being white upper middle class neurotypical American cisgender neoliberal and crying about being the most oppressed righteous white saviour group in the world

IF YOU WANT TO PERSUADE VOTERS TO VOTE BLUE HOW ABOUT NOT INSULTING THEM AND BE LESS CONDESCENDING???

I feel so damn alienated by the mainstream white middle class progressive movement

This election has made me hate white people, white trans people specifically and I gotta let this shit out

I'm trying to work up the courage to go file this police statement. ANOTHER ONE. ANOTHER FUCKING POLICE REPORT!!!!!

TWICE. TWICE now I've had to deal with coming too close to death just because I'm trans. This crazy ass nigga was IN MY HOUSE. If it wasn't for my dog being my service dog we probably still didn't know this nigga was sneaking in my HOUSE while I'm SLEEPING. S L E E P I N G. Just eavesdropping in my utility room and shit acting like he knows we have a man cave down here and he just wanted to knock to ask a question. Okay 1) Okay nigga why not use the front door and 2) Why are not at THIS basement door then??? Why are you halfway down the wall with your ear to it? And now why are you just letting yourself into my house like you fucking live here?! The shit was fucking insane and I'm tired of people thinking they have to kill me in order to for them to feel safe and I'm tired of people telling me I'm overreacting or filing a police report is just gonna make it worse.

I can't take a piss, I can't take showers, I can't use my headphones, nothing....but I'm the bad person for wanting the prosecutor that held California's conference against the trans panic defense in 2004(6?) Man FUCK Y'ALL get outta here with all that I hate these motherfuckers SO FUCKING MUCH its wild.

I especially hate white queer people right now in general. They wanna march in women parades and post black lives matter filters all over their fucking facebook and plaster the progressive pride flags but will turn around and play in my face and be the most tone deaf racist and sexist motherfuckers I've EVER met because they don't want to listen to shit black people say just because they saw some shit on YouTube and it's pissing me off! Their moral high ground is airheaded bullshit and I don't care how many lefty groups I get banned from if I see it I'm calling it out every single time.

I've seen a white trans guy show the usual message you see from MOST trans charities "We prioritize trans women of colour, trans women, trans people of colour, and low income trans people" and EVERYONE was mad because white trans men are "isolated"....apparently it's because everyone hates men and they hate white people and that's racism...I'm...I'm sorry nigga what?! Ooohhh??? Since when did you get lynched for trying to vote -Oh shit I'm sorry I meant trying to apply to a charity? I didn't know they were doing that now someones really gotta do something about not giving y'all more visibility even though you get MOST of the representation already! I had no clue black trans people were taking all your rights to trans charities away! Man fuck y'all. Seriously. You know Black people are the reason why the homicide and suicide rates are so high. With black people you'd lose over half. Black trans women were 91% of the trans women murdered in 2019 please shut the fuck up and stop pretending like the shit is the same because "trans" its getting annoying as hell.

It's even worse any literally any and everything about the fucking election and it's tiring. Israel/Gaza? We did civics in 7th grade. She can't do shit about Palestine besides push for the no 500 lbs bombs and she got it. Biden started up the 250 lbs bombs again after Netanyahu wouldn't shut up about Israelis receiving no support and Trump started campaigning on it. That's why you've never seen a VP do an executive order. The president does that. You know what she HAS done? Talk about a humanitarian catastrophe in December, then again at her Selma Speech in March, then again at the DNC, the NABJ, on Oprah, and again and again and again so YES, I believe a black woman's decisions are not tied to an old white man's who gave her the literal job description of supporting his decisions. Especially when that black woman says to Netanyahu's FACE that she won't be silent on the issue about him taking too many innocent lives and committing war crimes (which the IDF is STILL feeding Trump talking points on and that's why all the Israel hate ads came out) "Ooooohhh were so shocked she was so critical compared to Biden!" but yeah, they totally have the same fucking views on Palestine when she says it's the American Peoples responsibility to rebuild everything Israel destroyed in Gaza, being Israel's ally or not, calling for a Palestinian state and not just the end of the war so we can stop 76 years of SUFFERING for Palestinians...like???

Her stance is pretty clear when you believe Black Women and vet your candidates. Her record is really clear when you believe Black women and vet your candidates (Which is why we stan D.L. Hughey for accepting he jumped the gun without vetting anything). When you stop playing into the trope that you can't believe Black women because you have to hold them to the same standards as everyone else even though they ALWAYS get their morals shat on to look bad and not go anywhere, shit gets real clear real fast. Vet your fucking candidates and stop just watching YouTube shorts and banning black people trying to tell you that you only got 1/10th of a story watching YouTube shorts and shit nigga damn it's not my fault you don't watch DOJ press releases so they can tell you Russia was focusing on Gaza SPECIFICALLY this election to keep younger liberals and progressives home to help Trump. Your doom scroll?! It's for a fucking reason we were already warned about!

Now it's somehow she's not supporting trans rights and only Jill Stein can save us...Nigga...Jill Stein, RFK Jr, AND Gary Johnson all got fucking roasted by John Oliver because they parrot progressive stances but have zero clue on any policies. You know who that sounds like??? Trump. You know who he personally thanked for taking votes away from Democrats??? Jill Stein. But sure. RFK who now is on Trump's team and Jill Stein who has no real policies is TOTALLY gonna protect trans rights. Not the fucking AG of San Francisco....the gayest city in our fucking country that held a conference AGAINST the use of the trans panic defense when men KILL trans people. That isn't for trans rights? The first person to create an LGBTQ hate crime unit and told them to go get them homophobic niggas and arrest them? No? No trans rights? Who supported the bill that BANS that defense in California when she finally got to be a Senator? No? No support?! Trans Equality uses her record when they endorse her saying it's true??? no??? nothing???!? Whose first campaign stop in July was PROVINCETOWN???? If anywhere is gayer than San Francisco it's fucking Provincetown??? No???

Man FUCK WHITE QUEERS SOOOOOOO FUCKING MUCH. We are fighting a national abortion ban. I'd LOVE to replace that with a ban on the trans panic defense it's still legal in like 40 states! At least if we had that if my best friend of over 10 years prior DID get his swing in and stabbed me in the fucking chest, he couldn't use that as an excuse. When the police found out this crazy ass nigga bought THIRTY!!! 30!!! FUCKING SWORDS after he met me and asked all these weird ass questions and started sneaking into my motherfucking HOUSE?!?! And then tried to KIDNAP HIS MOM!!! saying they have to move because they aren't safe after I ignored his texts and no I didn't wanna hang out only at times my boyfriend isn't home just to find out they only DETAINED a nigga in a psychosis episode over the scary black tranny next door he has his insanity plea, but at least he's not getting off on saying he's SCARED BECAUSE I'M TRANS.

OOOHHHH I wish they I could trade and get their lives. I fucking hate these goddamn moral high ground tone deaf racist and sexist ass nigga mans FUCK!!!

sleeping with a packer is so euphoric

I don’t have much bottom dysphoria and when it manifests it’s never from hating the anatomy I have, its more so because I just wish I had a peepee sometimes

just got my first realistic packer (axolom brand, I 100% recommend) and I’ve been wearing it while sleeping and it’s the best feeling ever. laying on my stomach and feeling a penis sticking against my leg fills me with so much comfort and a feeling of “ahh finally!”. I been wondering what it was like to have a peepee for so long it’s nice to finally be able to experience it :)

new Sade track dedicated to her trans son

i don't know about y'all but, i was raised listening to Sade religiously. this is her first song in 14 years. the song is called Young Lion and it's a part of a benefit album called Transa, which is dedicated to trans and nonbinary awareness and support.

the song is BEAUTIFUL - it's basically an acknowledgement of her son Izaak's struggles during his youth, and her saying how proud of him she is. as a man who comes from an unsupportive family, this track made me bawl like a baby.

the song and album haven't gotten much media attention, so i figured i'd post about it here in case any of you guys wanted to check it out. the song is under the name Sade Adu on streaming platforms.

Trying to choose the correct packer colour. Discussion/help

I have colour swatches from the company MoreMe to help me choose a packer accurately. But I also have a slight colour deficiency and so it's harder for me to discern the right shade for myself.

Could someone else lend me a hand/eye in recommending the right shade that would look natural for my skin type. I figured this community would also have some insights.

If it helps I'm south asian.

An apology about my costume post

Hi guys, so sometime yesterday i had made a post of me in my vampire princess costume where i did look feminine, i thought i would be able to post it here due to the description but i think i might've took it the wrong way, i thought i had gotten banned from the community for my post but i think it was just a glitch on my phone, either way i thought i should make this apology post, it was not my intention to break the rules or make anyone uncomfortable if i did, i once again do apologize for my post

i only pass as cis in trans spaces?

i try my hardest to be a stealth trans man in the state i currently live in (very small-minded close-knit midwestern town i literally hate where i live) and a couple of months ago i attended a zine fest a couple hours away from where i live (which i was super excited about). i've been on t for almost three and a half years now, i have a deep voice and very masculine mannerisms and i dress very cis man, but i only pass around 75-80% of the time in my town despite literally doing everything in my power to pass-- i only passed 10% of the time when i had long hair even though i loved my long hair i had to cut it sadly. i mask everywhere i go so i feel like that heavily contributes to me being consistently misgendered by the white people here. im central american/indigenous so i have a lot of stereotypically "feminine" features like long eyelashes and well-shaped eyebrows, but i feel like i carry myself in a masculine enough way that it shouldnt be this much of an issue. what was weird is that despite still being in the midwest and dressing/acting exactly the same as i always do, i was met with people being very rude to me at the zine fest, due to their assumption that i was a cis man intruding a trans space, i was shoulder-checked quite a bit and was ignored very often, if not all the time when i was asking questions to the artists, etc. it was a giant room full of white queer/trans people from the midwest, so one would assume since i was still in the midwest they would clock me? but i guess not? it was very affirming but also not, because i was misgendered the VERY SAME DAY when i was just minding my own business directly outside of the venue. very frustrated with living here >:(

cutting my dreads

i’m planning on cutting mine (they’re about half way down my back now) and the reason is it would be easier to pass since i’m pre t. What i’m think about now is it worth cutting three years of growth. Should i cut them?

Is "passing privilege" a thing?

I saw the tangential discussion in the ftm sub and I was wondering what this sub thinks... for trans men, is being cis male-passing a privilege (conditionally or otherwise)? I think this topic is similar to certain conversations that people of color have.

i had my first encounter with police it's still really getting to me

(context: i'm canadian and autistic, it will come up in my vent)

it was two days ago, and i got stopped by police. i was driving my sister's car, so the thing he stopped me for i had no clue about and i had a meltdown out of sheer stress. he was really abrasive with me until i started having said meltdown, and then and only then did he ask if i could call my sister so she could speak for me and to speak about the car.

today my sister asked if i was sure about transitioning (she's never asked that before) because, and i quote, "the only thing that saved you was because he thought you were a girl." which is true, the officer called me "she" even though my sister kept saying "my brother" and "he."

i have never once doubted my transition, even now i still don't. but what she said and how he acted towards me is getting to me. canadian police are no better, they're still police at the end of the day. i don't even want to think about what could've happened to me for such a minor thing.
