shatteredtealights asked: I'm not sure if I'm genderqueer or a f2m trans. Regardless, telling my parents is out of the question. Bringing up the fact that I wanted to change my name made my mom flip, and asking for sports bras and chest surgery made her laugh and yell because "smooshing boobs is unhealthy". She was fine when I came out as a lesbian, but if I came out as a boy, I have no idea what...

Anonymous asked: I have a question. I have been self-harming/cutting on and off again since I hit puberty. I never told any of my therapists because it never seemed like a big issue as I would go for months, years even, at a time between phases of self-harm. I thought as I got farther in my transition (still pre-op, pre-hormones) that I would begin to feel the need less and less. But, its not. So now my...

Anonymous asked: I've been considering getting bottom surgery for a while now (FTM Bottom surgery) but I'm wondering what it'll do to libido. Like, will I still be able to feel everything during intercourse, etc?

Anonymous asked: Does anyone know if Dr. Beverly Fischer will accept CareCredit(it's not exactly insurance, rather it's a type of loan placed onto a credit card)? I know she doesn't really deal with insurance companies, but I'd really like to just take out a loan for a good portion of the top surgery price and because I live close to her and like her results, I'd like to go to her. If not,...

Anonymous asked: How common is it for a trans person to also have a romantic partner that is also trans? I'm curious because I saw several posts meant specifically for this group and was wondering if it's something that just tends to happen often
Anonymous asked: Is packing with socks effective?
undeadts asked: Is it wrong to start transition later in your life than others?
thefrillyqueer asked: Hello! I am looking to conduct a very short interview on mastectomy with any post-top-surgery men. This is for an essay and I am hoping to have the interview conducted within the next few days. Anybody interested can get ahold of me through my ask box or my submit box leaving me their email or skype name.
thegreatzeldini asked: I know that the proper spelling is 'transgender' but I was wondering if you guys (or your followers) knew why it's not 'trans-gender' and/or why the hyphenation is incorrect. I also wanted to know your opinion on the '-ed' suffix, as in 'transgendered.' I'm just curious.
digitalmeteor asked: hey it would be awesome if you guys could promote my tumblr to your followers. the reason i feel its important is cause a lot of my followers aren't aware of trans people and are very closed minded.i feel it would be awesome for trans people to ask me questions regarding transition and anything of that sort. i want a more diverse set of followers(:
Anonymous asked: I'm only thirteen, but I already know that I am pansexual. However, ever since I was little I have taken the role of a man, even going so far as to create a different 'person' for my male side and my female side is who I am from birth. I don't want to change my gender because I DO like being a girl at times. Would it be the equivalent of dressing up as a boy? (Because...
flight-maybe asked: I want to start hormones sometime within the next year or two [I'm fifteen], but my father doesn't know I'm trans. He's pretty much the only one who doesn't know. My mom and my brother and a large majority of my friends know. I don't think I ever want my father to know even when I get surgery [If I can ever afford it]. How can I ask my mom about it [she's touchy...
Anonymous asked: Hey so I've been going through this blog for a while, and I see you guys say how being masculine doesn't necessarily mean you're a man and stuff. I was just wondering how exactly do you know if you're a guy or a girl inside? Because I've been very confused about myself for the past couple of months and I don't really know how to figure myself out.
Anonymous asked: I need some binder help. In a few days I am going to order my first binder. I'm super excited, but kind of nervous about ordering the wrong size. So, I measured the way the site told me to and for the binder I want, it says my size would be a small. Now, I haven't been a small in anything for quite some time so should I trust the site or get a medium for good measure? Any advice or...

slightmayhem asked: the retail-worker could suggest to greet their customers "hello, we're glad to have you at X" and leave it at that, or depending on where they work, could comment on something unique about the customers' outfit, possibly helping to assist at that time. it's a delicate line between friendly and pushy, but i don't feel like it's ever okay to misgender someone, and...

katmw asked: Need help on paper about Gender identity :) I am writing an English paper on how society makes life difficult for nonconformists, and stifles individualism. I choose to write about gender expression and identity so if you have any followers who are Transgender, or do not fit society’s definition of “normal” as far as gender goes or do not conform to traditional gender roles I...
goodiecornbread asked: I adore this blog. My boyfriend is FTM, out but pre-op/pre-T. Reading through this just makes me fall that much more in love with him. All of you are beautiful and strong and wonderful. <3
Anonymous asked: I currently work in retail and am told I must greet my customers with a personal greeting akin to "Hello, miss/ma'am/sir." They are really pushing the use of pronouns to make them feel familiar- how can I abide by my work standards without possibly triggering a customer? I know how much it hurts to be misgendered and I do not want to be the cause of that pain for someone else, but I...
amandamockingjaye asked: For those of us who aren't a part of the trans community, but support it and are a bit naive to certain terms, what does dysphoria mean? I'm sorry for asking :x
Voice Lowering
I haven’t checked it out yet, but I recently came across a link on my dash to a site with tips for voice training for all trans*people- http://www.transgendervoice.net/.
Also, my FTM friend once told me that he coarsens his voice every day by screaming into a pillow until he can’t scream any more.
Mod note: Please remember that screaming to that extent is probably not going to do...
