Hey, hey- I would love other trans friends as well. Please feel free to add me!

I am friend-able. Please commence with the friending.

Transmasculine Friend away!

FTM here! New to the group. Need to get back on this weight loss. These girl hips weight distribution play with my dysphoria. I am up for friends on here so add me if you would like.

Off topic, but to your point about girl hips.

My gf is not trans, but very butch and masculine presenting. With her weight loss she struggles more with her hips showing then they did when she was bigger. So interesting to me how we carry it differently.

Also, Love my trans brothers and sisters, always up for friends to encourage.

I am queer and a lifelong supporter of all trangendered people. My biological parent is a female to male transgendered individual. I am proud to be a part of a multi orientation family. Please feel free to add me!

ty cm and im curous about this also

Genderfluid here, feel free to add

Ok so a question (brought on by a good convo w/ Andy): what pronouns do people prefer?

"She" or "They" pronouns are good with me c:

Ok so a question (brought on by a good convo w/ Andy): what pronouns do people prefer?

Thank you for that reminder! How about you?

I use she/her. I fall under the trans umbrella because I am female with a masculine gender identity: I do not identity as "male" or a "man". I found this definition useful, because I struggled to put my finger on my situation for some time (not "trans" in the typical sense of FTM, yet not typically female/woman):

"Those who identify as transmasculine, as opposed to simply as FTM or a man, trans or otherwise, often place themselves masculine of center- that is, they identify more closely with maleness than femaleness, and generally desire a physical appearance that reflects this identification, but do not identify as wholly male or as a man". (from GenderWiki)

That said, "they" is fine and I'm pretty tickled when I get "he/him" by people who don't know me (except in public gendered washrooms - that gets awkward :grumble:) or when people use typically masculine terms to describe my appearance (I don't want to be "pretty"; I'd rather be "handsome" :blushing: ). I get "sir"-d and "buddy"-d often and that makes me :happy: .

The way my body has changed in the last year or so (especially the last 4 months) has REALLY helped me feel more comfortable about my appearance/gender presentation. Not all that long ago, I ordered a binder online (chest dysphoria was creating a lot of anxiety in public). It took a long time to get made and shipped...and to my surprise I found that by the time it got here I didn't really feel like I wanted/needed to wear it any more. I see threads on the main boards all the time that are like O NOES MY BOOBZ R GONE and sometimes I think I must be the only person who is THRILLED that they're gone :laugh: (they could keep on going, tbh, wouldn't miss them a bit). Now if my body would just start letting go of these hips....:grumble:

Thank you for sharing this! I have a thriving community of trans friends here, but don't know that I've ever heard the "transmasculine" term used before. I think your description fits the experience of many of my loved ones, who generally prefer all the trappings that are assigned to the male gender but don't have the desire to "be" male or transition. Our diversity is fascinating, and the language we develop as times and options change...

All of my partners have been masculine of center and have experienced similar body anxiety, specifically related to the chest and hips. Every person doing fitness has to deal with the balance of self-love and self-"improvement" but these factors add a whole new level of complexity.

I'm a she/her. I also perform as a drag king. Another lover/supporter/ally here, always open to feedback if anything I say is triggering or not inclusive. Thanks for being open!

Hi everyone, my name is Cam, I'm 18 years old and genderqueer. Some days I bind and present as male, and other days as female. So glad there's a community within this website for people like us!
