Picture 1: left is me 1 month pre T. Right is 2 years on testosterone. Picture 2: left is me 3 weeks post op just a couple days ago. Right is 2 months pre T and 2 years pre op. This last weekend I burned my binder. It was the most internally relieving monumental moment of my journey. I got to share it with some of my closest people and the love of my life. Don't let anything hold you back from your own success and true passion. Most importantly don't hold back from achieving your best true self. But also. Don't let yourself achieve anything by keeping another down. I count my blessings and remind myself of all that I have to be grateful for every single day. Additionally. I have another I'd like to give away if anyone wants to claim it themselves. Large G2b never worn. Black. It's a double panel and the one I symbolically burned served me well for a long time. First person to comment claims it. #transman #transandinked #thisiswhattranslookslike #transisbeautiful #ftm #transguy #transgender #transandproud #transformationtuesday #ftmtransgender #queerasfuck #queer #bealight #transisnotaburden #blessed #newchapter #thisisme

Dinner ready to cook when I get home from getting my beautiful lady from work. Let me tell you this is sooooo delicious already I can't wait! And I was able to have a ton of left over ingredients, quinoa, chicken, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, for dinners for the rest of the week. Most all of the ingredients besides the chicken itself was bought for $50, that includes all the stuff for my lunch meal prep, and this dinner and the rest for the week. That means I am spending less than $10 a day for 7 days for two people to eat both lunch and dinner. Not only healthy for our bodies, but for our bank accounts too. 👌🤙💪 #fresh #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #healthydiet #budgeteating101 #dontbreakthebank #bekindtoyou

Tape is off completely. And nips are looking less like lil pepps and more natural. Today is 16 days post op. This coming Friday is 3 weeks and I can start massaging the scars and need to start moisturizing them. Massaging you want to press down and spread your fingers and the pressure side to side and do it as often as you think about it to help keep scarring minimal in the long run. Then make sure to keep it moist always. Silicone strips are highly recommended but oils like vitamin E and coconut works too. So far, I've found that scar away strips are the best. They're silicone infused tape that helps trap moisture within the scars, the more moist the scars are helps how visible and intense the scar will be in the end. These are expensive tho, cheapest I've found is $27.50 for 6 strips on amazon. I've tried reaching out to some other trans men on insta with no success and no help offered. Which is rather sad to me. If you post up on here stating you're here to help others then follow thru or stop posing as an advocate. If anyone has questions for me, dm or comment and I promise to offer an answer or advice. #transman #transandinked #transguy #ftm #ftmtransgender #transgender #transandproud #selfmade #thisiswhattranslookslike #topless #topsurgery #recovery #happy #proud

Feeling the button up style lately. Love that everything is fitting so nicely. Just gotta lose the weight from being inactive for so long and I'll be completely content with my body for the first time in my entire life 😁 #fresh #clean #transman #transandinked #transguy #transgender #transandproud #thisiswhattranslookslike #ftm #ftmtransgender #ftmnation #selfmade #realmenwearpink #hipster

Hello, my name is Nicolas

This is my first thought and first post on here.

I have been wanting to get my name out there on social media so that I can reach as many people as possible.

Let me start with a little background.

My name is Nicolas, I am 27 years old, and I am a trans man living in Portland, OR. I have been on HRT for 2 years, and I just had my reconstructive surgery this month. I am currently in school studying psychology and sociology with an end goal of being a therapist, specifically for the LGBTQ community, with a heavy focus on trans youth.

Which leads to into the reasoning for why I want to get my name out there. I have a strong passion to advocate and hope to be an information resource for my community and fellow brothers and sisters.

My page is going to consist of my journey, including photos of my transformation on Testosterone, and the reconstructive surgery process I just had. I will also be providing videos that talk to hot topics, hopefully some suggested topics from the public, and relationship Q & A’s with my amazing partner.

I understand that this is not only a controversial “topic” but a sensitive one and so I ask that if you don’t like or agree with who I am, that you kindly move off my page and go about your business. No hate is needed, and your salty remarks will go unheard, so it is rather pointless.

So cheers. Lets get started. :)
