Hi all!

Super excited to debut my zine with @notaclevernamer on October 24! It comes with super cute lil stickers and talks about some of the following, all geared towards trans men!

- Safe sex and STIs

- healthy relationships

- prosthetics for trans men

- your body and boundaries!

And whatever else we could cram into 36 pages!

It’ll be debuting at Canzine this year for $15 CAD per copy (including stickers) and afterwards we will be making it available as a PDF if there is demand!

Thank you lovelies and have a great day!

Note: we made it “pay by donation” so that trans youth are able to access this information more easily, but if you are a person of means we would love it if you would kick us a couple of bucks. We both worked super hard on it and anything is helpful!

i love cis people cause when i say “when i used to be a girl…” they go “mhmm…. but also….. you’ve ALWAYS been a man” okay ur very sweet but actually i was a weird girl in middle school and you need to know that to understand my personality today

“Is it normal?” The binding edition

Yes:

Getting winded after walking quickly/upstairs with binder on, but able to catch breath

Chafing in the underarm areas

Soreness (during or after) in arms, shoulders, or back

Increased acne on chest or back

Mild anxiety about tightness

Chest sagging

No, take it off and rest, see a doctor if problem gets worse or doesn’t go away after taking the binder off (or after one week):

Nausea during or after binding, including nausea caused by pain

Bruising

Out of breath/can’t catch breath when not wearing binder

Skin rash

Sharp pains in ribs

Not able to cough or sneeze

Numbness in arms

Feeling too tired/sore to do everyday activities

Suddenly having any of the above symptoms even if you’ve been binding for years 

No, see a doctor ASAP, could be a sign of serious injury:

Anything from the above category if you can just tell/feel something is wrong, better safe than sorry

Extreme claustrophobia/panic attacks 

Sharp pain in chest/heart skipping beats or beating very fast

Not able to breathe  

Dizziness

Blueness in lips or fingertips

Change in shape of ribcage

Fainting

[twinkbugspray]

good stuff to know if you wear a binder, especially if you’re new to it. this is way more informative than the basic “don’t wear it for more than 8 hours uwu!!!111!!” - although that is also good advice. sometimes the time you keep it on will vary because of your schedule, and you don’t have to panic if that’s the case. just pay attention your body, know what’s safe, and crack your poor back as often as you can.

Never forget that the purpose of transitioning is to make you happier not to make you pass!! You may never end up being able to pass but don’t let that take from your happiness.

Create the you that feels good, not the you that makes others comfortable.

i love you black trans people. i love you asian trans people from all over asia (not just east asia). i love you hispanic trans people. i love you indigenous trans people. i love you poc trans people. you're doing great, i promise you, and i'm so fucking sorry the community erases you as much as it does.

this poem is about being nonbinary.

I love trans voices in audio dramas. I love when trans characters are voiced by trans actors and their voice isn't 100% passing. I love that said characters are never misgendered. I love how their voices sound beautiful and authentic. I love that their voces sound like mine our my friend's.

not the same but tangentially, i found a recording of an ftm meetup from the 90s and hearing the array of different trans men’s voices was so soothing and affirming. the subject of this panel was about safe sex and they talked about ftm sex with people across the gender spectrum. hearing the same kinds of jokes that we still make today. and transmasc laughter. it was really really beautiful. it was also the first time i ever heard lou sullivan’s voice after years of reading his work

[dunmertitty]

FOUND IT! here’s the post that links to the tumblr post i saw. and here’s a direct link to the internet archive recording.

a day late to my 6 years on t anniversary ✨🏳️‍⚧️ a short comic about looking back

[tboy-cock]

was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality
