I’m curious how many active transmascs there are on here and want to get to know people better. Introduce yourself in the comments below. You can include anything you want.
Questions if you can’t think of any:
-Name
-Gender identity
-How long you’ve been transitioned/if you’ve transitioned
-Things that give you gender euphoria
-Where you’re from
-What you’re looking for in this community
-Random fun fact
hello. i am fracture falcon. i am a transgender man who is about 30 years old and currently lives on the east coast of the US. i’ve known i’m trans for just over five years and i’ve changed my name, i’m on hormones, and i’ve had top surgery.
being trans affects both a lot and a little about my life, but i would say it doesn’t weigh on me a ton from day to day, and i recognize there’s privilege in that. i also had a strong feminist background (for better or worse), so i knew to do a lot of positive reinforcement work on myself (e.g. deconstruct what a man is, emphasize that men are not their bodily characteristics, tell myself that even if my experience is non-traditional for a man, it’s still valid and contributes to the sum of experiences of masculinity, etc etc etc)
it’s hard for me to say what gives me gender euphoria nowadays. i have done a lot of research on bottom growth and maximizing it, because i want to grow a big ole dick, i think we have the technology and it should be possible. but it’s more of a hobby i enjoy a lot (biology nerd) than gender euphoria. like… as i sit here thinking about it, i’m just like, yeah i need to sit down and compile all my notes about it. i pass visibly and my voice also passes and life is pretty much… normal about it (which again, i realize is a privilege)
i like lifting weights and getting bigger. it’s cool and satisfying, but i also get worried about scaring people as i get bigger. i don’t wanna do that. so it’s a bit of a mixed bag. it is satisfying when i hit strength thresholds to do new things though, and it feels a bit like gender euphoria. i did used to get it, but it’s been a while now and most of the stuff i got it from was short lived. being a man is complicated, i suppose
i’m not really looking for anything in particular in this community. to have a place to share my knowledge and listen to other transmasc people’s experiences, really. i just like reading and interacting in these communities
as an aside, i appreciate you, cowboycrustation, for the work you put in to try to keep this place active. it’s pretty small so it can probably be a bit disheartening, but i see it and appreciate it, for as long as you feel it’s worthwhile
Hi fracture. Definitely can relate to the fear of scaring people as you get bigger. I haven’t been lifting weights or anything but it’s been something to get used to that people are generally more afraid of men.
You definitely should make a post about it on here if you’ve got interesting findings from your maximizing your bottom growth research. I’d be interested in reading.
And thanks for the appreciation. I’m grateful that you’re in this community too.
