That feeling when your lesbian friend asks you to come over and help fix her boiler because she needs "a man" 😍💪

This blog is apparently a year old, so that must mean...

One whole year on T 🥳🤯

They say the clothes make the man...

For the record, I don't think the above is true, but they can certainly help us feel more comfortable with how we're perceived.

The pansexual transmasc experience is swinging between "butch lesbian" and "camp twink" and never knowing which is about to come out 🫣

Help a Trans Sex Worker Take Parental Leave

One of the major difficulties that comes with being a sex worker is that we have no entitlement to sick pay or parental leave. I had to sell sex much further into my pregnancy than I wanted so that I could get by, but I'm now about to give birth and it's not safe or viable for me to keep selling sex to clients while 9 months pregnant.

This fundraiser will allow me to take 8 weeks for my body to heal before I go back to selling sex and working part-time as a bookseller.

Donate to Help a Trans Sex Worker Take Parental Leave, organized by Jack Parker

Hi, I'm Jack (he/they) and I'm a 27 year old non-binary trans man who became p… Jack Parker needs your support for Help a Trans Sex Worker T

I went out of my way to find a traditional job that would hire me despite my involvement in sex work before I conceived, but when the bookshop was shut due to union-busting I ended up made redundant whilst already heavily pregnant. Myself and my co-workers are in the process of opening a new bookshop platforming sex worker authors and creatives, however our current finances can't cover parental leave for me.

I'm still planning to continue creating community projects for sex workers from home during the post-partum period, as well as other kinds of activism, but I don't make an income from it. It's paid work outside the home that is an impossibility right now and I'm already prepared to go right back to selling sex after a couple of months.

I hate that after a decade being a sex worker and an advocate that I am still in the position to need this kind of help, but I can't be quiet out of embarrassment because there's a baby I'm about to have who needs stability and who I cannot let down. If you have something to spare, I would really appreciate it. If you don't, a share would be hugely appreciated.

Dysphoria hit HARD this morning 😖

So here's a selfie of me having finally found a look that feels OK! Binder on, new men's shirt from a trans femme friend who was having a clear out (thanks G!) and jeans finally starting to sit in the right place.

Panic attack averted 😅

(Also IDK, 9 months on T or something??)

[jaystjourney]

Okay, time for some more Important Gender Research:

Do you tuck your shirt in?

Yes - I'm a cis man

Yes - I'm a trans man/trans masc

No - I'm a cis woman

No - I'm a trans woman/trans femme

Yes - I'm non-binary/agender

No - I'm non-binary/agender

Yes - My gender is not listed

No - My gender is not listed

Inspired by the fact that I never used to, but now I find it helps me look more masc so I prefer it but also always forget 😅

[jaystjourney]

Well, this feels like a pretty cool milestone...

[jaystjourney]

Nothing says "My testosterone is working!" like the urge to build an enormous, unnecessarily overengineered and ornamental sandcastle with the kids 😅

[jaystjourney]

I have a recently hatched trans girl who I've known since she was an egg coming over later. Her question:

"Oh god, are we straight now?!"

Oh hell nooooo!!

[jaystjourney]

For clarity (in case anyone else is feeling the urge to leave idiotic comments) this post is obviously using the word "girl", in its capacity as a common colloquialism, to refer to an adult woman who is more than capable of consenting to any adult activities we may or may not be engaging in.

I will also take this opportunity to state that any use of derogatory language or terms (whether referring to trans folks or anyone else) will be deleted and likely get you blocked. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences, and if you choose to speak in a manner designed to upset or provoke others then there *will* be consequences.

This is first and foremost an educational blog and is designed to be a safe space for anyone who wants to learn. Hateful language or harmful behaviour of any kind is not appropriate and will not be tolerated.

Hi gang, sorry its been a minute! 😅 Full on chaos, but I'm still here and still transitioning (despite the government telling us we shouldn't exist), so let's see how it's going!

Changes include:

Voice deepening - I now sing baritone and can hit a bottom G. I've lost the top of my range - I can't get higher than a top E (although for a while it was top C max) where I used to be able to hit a high A. My speaking voice is consistently much lower and it cracks when I go too high - I'm essentially learning how to talk again.

Body hair

Muscle growth - I'm stronger than I've ever been without even trying!

BODY HAIR

A few hairs on my chinny chin chin

SO MUCH BODY HAIR 😂 My leg hair is darker and thicker, the areas covered in pubic hair and armpit hair are extending, I now have a hairy butt crack and a "happy trail" of hair running from my belly button to my pubic hair 😳 Which brings me on to...

Belly button fluff! This is a weirdly fun one, but I'm getting this more when the fluff from my boxers climbs up the trail 😄 (sometimes it's the weirdest thing that give you gender euphoria!)

Body temperature - I am constantly boiling and I frequently wake up sweating

Sex drive - I am waaaaaay more horny, waaaaaay more often 😅

Bottom growth - My clit is still growing, though at a slower rate than it started. The hood is also getting larger and thicker, though, so it's actually less sensitive than it used to be and needs more pressure to react.

Let me know if there's anything you want more detail on, I'm hoping to post another video soon but in the meantime stay strong and stay safe ❤️

I accidentally added a poll trying to find the bulletpoints and can't work out how to delete it. Has this happened to you?

Yes

No

OMG you're an idiot 😂

I like clicking buttons

Why am I here?

Technically I am a cis male. As in "male" is on my birth certificate. But I have a DSD; I'm intersex. So I grew up being perceived socially as female ever since I was in kindergarten, which caused me heavy bouts of dysphoria. Nobody told me I was intersex and I went most of my childhood thinking I was just like any other cis woman. And since I'll have to essentially transition from "female" (my developed female characteristics, being seen socially as female, etc) to male, I consider myself a trans man.

Trans people do not like this. They often say that it doesn't count for me because its "easier" (since people with DSDs and intersex people are binary trans' people's scapegoat, ie "cis people get gender affirming care" "lie about being intersex to avoid transphobia" etc etc my fellow intersex people know what I'm talking about, they don't want to admit that it really isn't easier for us).

They want their trans labels to be in neat little boxes with no variation; its easier to sympathize with someone that's more alike to yourself, and they want to be able to sympathize with all trans people because it makes them feel better about themselves, to be a self ally with no internalized transphobia whatsoever.

I've been called multiple things, transtrender, baedel, herm, chaser, wannabe, appropriator, futa, only ever by trans people. In fact I think I've met more cis people that are understanding and willing to learn about intersexuality and DSDs than trans people. For trans people a lot of the time it means they have to deconstruct gender binaries in their mind again, and they'd rather just stick to the current beliefs they feel safe in.

All of this to say that trans people are not immune to putting themselves in binary boxes, and that for a large amount of trans people, they treat transness as a better version of the pre-existing gender binary, one that makes them more palatable to leftist spaces, instead of a beautifully diverse area of human existence and culture.
