Go one size higher than you technically fit.

If you need to alter the height, hem before you cut, no matter how long! It's a lot easier to cut too much off than you think. This WILL take some practice though! (I'm learning the hard way)

your life is worth living.

dear trans kids,

I know it's hard right now. It's scary. The world feels like it's closing around you and trying to push you out. We all feel it. And we've been in your shoes. I want you to know that your community is here for you. We will help you anyway we can. We need you here more than you could possibly know. You are our future. Whatever you need to do, just stay alive. Not just physically. Keep your truth alive however you can. Even if it can only exist in a diary under your mattress, that version of you is needed and valuable in the world.

We will get through this. Just stay present, stay here, and stay hopeful.

With love, your trans big brother/sibling

I've seen a lot of ftm tips that are basically just be an emotionaless nonchalant asshole and. What. That's just playing into gender stereotypes and is probably not gonna help you pass it's gonna help you come across as a fuckinf jerk

Transmasc (or just bushy) Eyebrow Tutorial.

Hello! I am an artist and a trans man with small eyebrows. So you want your eyebrows to go from this…

To this?

Side by side before and after like

This? In not much time with practice?

Well, welcome to this post!

First of all, tools!

I use (1) one product and it is this:

L’Oréal Faux Brow. It’s a drugstore product and my first one lasted me about six-eight months?

It has this very cool dual-brush-tip thing. That is very good at making small, hair-like strokes. BE WARNED, YOU MUST BE LIGHT WITH THE STOKES HERE! (lol). If you press hard, you won't get the effect.

Before we start, let’s look at that before pic again and talk about eyebrow hair growth.

There are hairs that grow from the bottom of the brow (indicated with pink in the image)

Ones from the top (indicated with green)

And ones in the middle (indicated with blue here)

When we draw on the hair, we want to follow these lines in our minds a bit.

The goal shape we are going for is to widen the brows, mostly downward.

STEP ONE: filling space

I usually start with hair from the bottom:

I am trying to dull my arch a bit by making hairs that fill the circled space. I follow the hairs growing up toward the middle.

STEP TWO: bulking the front

I like to bulk the front of my brows and make them a little longer. The front of our brows grows up and forward. Everyone's brows are different, so you might not even want to bulk this part.

I am adding height here to blend with the next step, adding bulk to the top of the brow.

STEP THREE: down from the top

I am adding a bit of bulk to the top, but I would recommend adding most of the width on the bottom of the brow to avoid looking like you're always raising your eyebrows.

STEP FOUR: finishing touches

I like to add some short lines near the front to mimic the hairs there that grow forward and appear shorter. I also like to add shorter hairs near the tail of the brow. Also, to blend, I add hairs throughout that flow with the blue arrows, so that the center of my brows isn't a different color.

And you're done! And you have huge, bushy brows! I have never had these clocked as fake. I have more often had people express how they can tell T is making my eyebrows grow. They look more fake in the photos, but from a couple of feet away, they're really great, I think.

Enjoy!

I have a question about binders as a guy who has never worn one. I've seen people say that when you put on a binder you move your breasts to that they're going towards your arms? and to me it always seems like the breasts are going towards, or under, the armpits almost. I have a rather big chest (G cup I'm pretty sure) and I want to know, from anyone but especially those with my chest size or bigger, do you end up feeling the flesh of your breasts with your arms often with the binder on? Because I think a sensation like that would just give me more dysphoria than anything, in addition to sensory issues, but I really hope this isn't the case because my chest dysphoria is so bad and I am many years away from any kind of surgery.
