This is a pretty specific question but I figure maybe other trans guys have experienced this so if anyone could give advice, I'd appreciate it. I've been shaving my legs for the past 7 years. I only just started letting the hair grow out a few weeks ago. Since I've been shaving it for so long, it's prickly and feels bad to touch. I thought maybe it would be okay once it grew out all the way but it isn't. I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to make it softer?

Maybe use conditioner on it? I’m not sure. Any thoughts, followers?

I agree with you. Unfortunately people forget that transmisogyny is different from transphobia as a whole. Both are serious problems, but it's really, really important to know that when someone is talking about transmisogyny specifically, that isn't a time to say "but!!! trans men suffer too!!!" We (trans guys) definitely have every right to express our concerns about the transphobia we face, but not when someone is talking about transmisogyny. That's taking the focus away and it's not okay.

exactly! and its okay for us to talk abt transmisogyny as long as we arent speaking over trans women who are actually suffering

I just want to say I'm impressed that you're sticking up for trans women and you're in the right here. I'm sorry people have misinterpreted the post to say that trans men don't experience transphobia from TERFs. You've made it very clear that you know that isn't the case, but you're mature enough to recognize that trans women experience it more than trans men. As trans guys we have to support our trans sisters and not derail the issues they face to talk about ourselves. You're doing great 👍

thanks man! but yeah like it’s just really important that we make sure we can seperate ourselves from issues that are transmisogynistic-specific bc hate against trans men is not the same as hate against trans women and we gotta make sure we’re not putting ourselves into transmisogynistic issues

(also theres a difference between speaking up about transmisogynistic issues and making it seem like those issues are about us and we gotta be careful that we’re doing the former and not the latter)

do you have any links to resources for parents? I came out to mine and they weren't accepting at all. They don't believe me and don't understand what it's like to be trans and refuse to listen to me. I'd like to send them things that they can read through on their own, so they aren't just hearing everything from me

Currently, our only resource specifically for parents is the For Parents and Guardians button on the side of our page, which links to a Transgender Teen Survival Guide page answering questions a lot of parents have. I would also recommend checking out our resource tag, which has a lot of links with general info about being trans, which might help your parents understand better.

We’re always looking for more resources so, followers, if you know any resources specifically for parents, send them in!
