Yo to any of you transmascs out there with voice dysphoria who can’t/don’t want to get on testosterone because of whatever circumstances:

Holy shit voice training works. Do not underestimate it.

For reference: the audio clips are of me saying the same thing at the age of 19 (before trying any voice training) and 23 (training my voice for three years using only free online tutorials. No professional training at all). I have the exact same amount of testosterone in my body in both (dear god not enough).

Is it perfect? No. Do I still want to claw my vocal cords out of my skin sometimes? Absolutely. But wow, I did not realize how much of a difference the little exercises I found on YouTube made until I heard this video of what my voice used to sound like. And with the way things are in the world right now, just that little bit of comfort does a lot for me. Would recommend giving it a shot!

Back in ye olden days before I knew I was trans, I used to have a running bit with this girl who has the same name as my deadname. She was born after me, so I always said that she stole it from me. In turn, she would come up with increasingly elaborate ways that I stole it from her. Time travel, fortune telling, reading the stars, you name it. We battled for the right to own that name for a literal decade, with no clear winner.

But today, I would like to finally surrender. Wherever you are, you were right. A fortune teller read the stars told me to time travel to steal that name from you. Biggest mistake ever. She was a scam artist. You can have it back forever and ever :)

(Also you were always way funnier than me. Well deserved name.)

Praying to any higher power that may exist that the trans people I stare down in public get my telepathic message of “Hey! Hi! You’re like me! Hi! Omg another cool trans person you’re so cool! Please speak to me, your fellow transgender!”

Praying even harder that should the telepathy be interrupted, the vibe does not come across as “I am a meanie transphobe and I will stare at you until you get out of my god-fearing midwestern grocery store.”

Hello this is me summoning everyone who either is trans masc or knows a trans masc.

A while ago, I made a playlist that’s all songs that make me, a certified trans guy, feel…

A. like a guy

B. Hot as fuck

I mainly listened to it on days where dysphoria was really bad, and I found that it helped a lot. It’s like a nice little reminder that I am a guy no matter what my body looks like, and that I’m rocking it too. So I figured, hey, it would be awesome if I got a bunch of other songs from other trans mascs that make them feel the same thing and then threw them into the playlist. Or inspired them to do a similar thing.

So this is my call to action. What songs make you feel like a whole dude? What songs make you feel like you’re a model about to reject all the agencies that are below you? What songs have 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 trans guy energy?

Any suggestions would be awesome, whether they’re from big or small artists! And if you’re not a trans masc but happen to know one or two, ask them as well! I’m trying to get as many songs as I can :D

(Here’s the playlist I have so far for reference in case you want to know what I have already.)

I Only Pass in Airports for Some Reason.

It’s such a grand time. I go through security, step into that tube scanner thing, it spins around, then I step out and inevitably there is a bunch of markers all over my chest because they put in “male” for the sex. Then one of three things happen.

1. The TSA agent stares at me for a second, terrified to ask if I’m trans. I just stare back.

2. They do a double take, quickly switch the sex, and ask me to step in again with no question.

3. The male agent pats me down, hits tit, and then start apologizing profusely as I try not to giggle like a fool.

Sometimes I consider going through TSA just for the affirmation alone at this point. It’s great for the ego.

Ay yo trans guys.

How do you feel about the fact that your spines all look like this?

Having a gender crisis at The Home Depot is not the vibe.

Every outfit I own would look infinitely better without boobs.
