i got married at twenty one with reactions being more innocently questionary than negative - how could i be sure?

it’s always been very simple to me, i’ve never been made to feel like a cylinder in a square whole

i come from being hidden, the partner your parents couldn’t know about, the boyfriend who can’t come to thanksgiving due to being black or trans or poor, the guy no one’s folks were keen on

i moved across the ocean to be with my wife, welcomed by non-english speaking family waiting just as eagerly as my lover

it’s strange to find solace and understanding in a place so foreign, a place you wouldn’t otherwise choose to be, with people you never would’ve met

my identity has never been treated as something to forcefully gulp and stomach

for so long i was convinced i wanted too much - but my wife excitedly coming home with cocoa butter body oil, something we’ve struggled to find in southern france, and using an eyebrow razor to fix my lineup when the barber does me dirty, was all i ever needed

to be cared for like it’s second nature

yes, i’m sure

since my chest is making rounds again. reference pics + FAQ

i’ve been tape binding for seven years

all of these pics are from 2024 - 2026 to show the differences in application while both my body weight and chest size fluctuate

taping is not one size fits all, there’s a learning curve to the process, but this is the only way i’ve bound my chest since 2022

even with the skill i’ve developed i still itch, blister and rash on occasion. it’s worth it to me but may not be worth it to you, the same way i can never wear a binder again but other mascs can

i change the way i apply my tape based on the season or even situationally, using less in the summer or unnatural colors during the winter

i’m considering making some videos or diagrams eventually to show my process as there’s a lot of curiosity, but i feel like visually seeing different applications is enough in the meantime

feel free to send specific asks if you have a query for yours truly

and while excitement / appreciation is flattering please keep in mind i’m married and be respectful

thanks for da luv

y’all ever see cis mfs perform gender so hard it feels transsexual in spirit

can’t stop thinking about this couple i saw today consisting of this ridiculously roided out but perfectly primped dude and his filler queen of a wife

like this archetype exists in some t4t gray area to me

some insolent fuck calling me a body mutilator for taping

i didn’t even get the surgery yet you stupid fucking bitch

i’m from (one of) the homicide capital of the united states

today is my twenty second fourth of july being alive and for the first time woke up naturally

no fireworks for the days surrounding the holiday with gunshots sprinkled in and thinly veiled as other explosives

i woke up next to my lover sleeping soundly while the french sun and subsequent heat fills our room

i hear birds and only birds and i bask in this quiet for awhile

a quiet it takes twenty years to hear

france is no utopia but i’m still experiencing weekly moments of wow :) thank you france :)
