I'm Lane, a white, AFAB non-binary transmasculine person. I'm currently on Testosterone, specifically androgel. I'm going to be using this blog to sort of track for myself (and anyone else who is interested) the changes I experience because of T as well as just...

Oooooh I wish I had had this list of questions when I had my top surgery consultation (seems like this list is general enough that it could work for multiple different procedures for trans folks)

At the height of his career, the architect Adolf Loos burned all his drawings, letters, diaries, fetish objects. He burned everything. With fire, he built an archive made of smoke, a dense mass of forgetfulness from which it would be possible to begin to live again.

“No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us. Portrait of Marsha "Pay It no Mind” Johnson, a mother of the trans* and queer liberation movement. She fought at Stonewall and dedicated her life to helping trans* youth, sex workers and poor and incarcerated queers. We honor her legacy by supporting trans women of color to Live + Lead.“

Feeling a deep connection between the complex simplicity of taking my shirt off at the beach yesterday and the layers upon layers of work and struggle that has come before me, continues now, and will come after me, to make this experience possible. I’m so grateful to bask in the glow of this labor. Thank you. I’m hopeful that I can add fuel to these hearty flames. #TransStrength #Connected #Nonbinary #Trans #Grateful

Ohio Bill Would Charge Therapists With a Felony if They Don't Out Trans Kids to Their Parents

The new legislation would harm LGBTQ+ youth in the state and turn school employees into spies.

Hello, hi. This is wrong. Nothing. Good. Will. Come. Of. This. LET TRANS PEOPLE CONTROL WHEN AND HOW AND IF THEY TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THEMSELVES. K thx bye.

Wanted to post a chest comparison since it’s been a little over a year since my surgery! Sorry about the lighting and angle discrepancies, this was the best I could do. But I believe each of these is just with the natural lighting, no filters. Upper Left - 6/6/2018 (one year post-op) Upper Right - 1/5/2018 Lower Left - 9/5/2017 Lower Right - 7/6/2017 (one month post-op)

“Genders can neither be true nor false, neither real nor apparent, neither original nor derived. As credible bearers of those attributes, however, genders can also be rendered thoroughly and radically incredible.”

Trump's Latest Transgender Rights Move Could Be Devastating For Trans People's Health

Transgender people face significant barriers to medical care, and a proposed rule from the Trump administration may make things even more difficult for them. The administration may soon allow health care workers to object to treating transgender pati…

For folks that have a choice of where they can seek medical care (are not in an emergency) do a search for trans-knowledgable providers in your area. Keep in mind, even if your provider is trans-knowledgable, it doesn’t mean every person you come into contact with at that healthcare facility is. We will keep fighting while the courts are continually plugged with lawsuits against this unethical POS administration.

“I’m not taking testosterone to change myself into a man or as a physical strategy of transsexualism; I take it to foil what society wanted to make of me, so that I can write, fuck, feel a form of pleasure that is postpornographic, add a molecular prostheses to my low-tech transgender identity composed of dildos, texts, and moving images; I do it to avenge your death.”
