@transcutiesprotection
Hello! I've recently made a blog at genderandsexualityhelp and am now accepting questions if anyone would like to check it out or ask something :) Could you please post this for others to see? Thank you!
yes of course! we only have a few followers, but i wish you the best!check out their blog!!
would you be open to writing a paragraph w ppls preferred names and pronouns? im trying to figure some stuff out and i know it helps some people with dysphoria
Anonymous said to transcutiesprotection: like (name) was walking when (pronoun) saw (pronoun)'s favorite flower. (pronoun) was excited. (this examples kinda bad but ye like tht)
Maybe! That sounds like it would definetly be fun. None of the mods have gotten back to me on some other things were working on right now (probably lots of business from school and work) but that would be fun to do! Actually I think theres a site right here for pronoun dressing up, and then another blog thats completely dedicated to doing that stuff!

Umm,, i am confused?? I mean do you not like cis people? Becauss i feel like i need to be trans to fir i to the world, because i feel like everyone hates me because i dont want to be another gender/hate my genitlia?? Im sorry i just..
What? of course not, we don't hate cis people. No trans person really does. If you are comfortable with your gender and sex, then being cis is just for you. Theres no problem with that at all. Please do not send anymore of these ask as they will be deleted because this is for trans issues, not cis. And trust me, it's downright disgusting to say being trans is "fitting in" its not funny. It's not a joke.It's not about "fitting in" at all. You have no clue the actual shit trans people go through daily.Getting abused, at home, at school, at your jobs, sometjmes both physically and mentally, just walking into school and getting told to die and that I'm an "it" and abomination and literally havin been physically beaten by adults and other students.. and it's nothing to use to try to fit in. If youre cis, embrace it, and support us. You can simply be a trans ally and thats perfectly fine too. Don't change yourself. If you turn out to be trans, then that will be okay too and just embrace whoever you are in anyway you can. -Mod Ekko
is it bad to bind while im sore from working out? putting the binder on and taking it off hurts a bit bc i have to lift my arms and stuff, but its just kinda uncomfy while im wearing it
Hey friend,I would take a break from wearing it if you can manage that because putting compression on sore muscles isn't always the best idea. I'd say give it a day or two if you can.Mod Kaiden
a post on some shit i’ve seen
“I have a male character, but they’re very feminine so I think they might be a trans woman.”
This is not how being trans works. Being gender non-conforming =/= trans. Here is a list of reasons why this is sexist and transphobic.
It implies that men and women must behave a certain way and that anyone who does not adhere to these gender roles must be a different gender.
It implies that gender non-conforming trans people do not exist.
It negates sex dyshoria.
It enforces gender roles.
It enforces stereotypes and misconceptions trans people have been fighting against for a long time.
Your male character can be feminine without being trans. They are still a man.
“It’s offensive to describe trans people as being ‘born in the wrong body’.”
No, it’s not.
This is a narrative that many trans people use because it is an easy and succinct way to describe sex dysphoria. Dysphoria is more complicated than this, but this narrative is not offensive.
Stop silencing dysphoric people. Your character can describe themselves like this if they so choose to.
“I have a male character, but I picture him as having little body hair and wide hips, so I think I might make him a trans man–”
This is offensive. If you make a character trans because they posses physical characteristics that are seen as “undesirable” or “not typical” on people of their sex, then you are sexist and transphobic.
Cis men can have wide hips and little body hair. Trans men can have narrow hips and a strong jaw. Cis women can have lots of body hair and a deep voice. Trans women can be short and curvy.
“My character is androgynous and it’s difficult to tell their gender so I’m making them non binary.”
Okay…
By claiming that non binary people are always androgynous appearing, you are creating a new set of gender roles and expectations while simultaneously doing everything in the first thing I talked about.
“Non binary” and “gender non-conforming” are not synonyms, but this doesn’t mean non binary people can’t be/aren’t gender non-conforming.
“Cis people are boring so my characters are all trans.”
This is the wrong mindset when talking about representation for trans people and when writing trans characters. When you equate “cis” to “boring” and “trans” to “cool” and “interesting,”, you are fetishizing and dehumanizing trans people.
We are not trendy accessories that will make your story better simply by being there.
BTW, boring trans people exist. Because, you know, we’re people and not this year’s most popular Christmas gift.
“Reveal that your character is trans by showing their scars/body.”
Allies and transphobes alike have a fascination with the bodies of trans people. It has gotten to the point where “allies” spread private information about the medical lives of trans people to the general public. This has turned into a “how to spot a trans person” game.
Your characters do not need to be half-naked to show that they are trans.
“Dysphoria is self-loathing and can end up bringing too much angst to your story.”
Dysphoria is not self-loathing. This is a huge misconception. Dysphoria is a disconnect between someone’s brain and their physical sex.
When people experience sex dysphoria, their sex characteristics feel foreign. It is not simply “hating your body.” That narrative should not be used in fiction. Ever. It is false. Body positive feminists (both lib and rad) use it to vilify sex dysphoric people.
Do not ignore dysphoria. A lot of people don’t know what it actually is and confuse it for internalized misogyny. Dysphoria needs to be a part of fiction featuring trans characters so that we can work to end the misconceptions about it.
Also, do not “cure” your character’s dypshoria with love or romance or sex or self-acceptance. That’s not how it works.
I Needed this because I’m writing a story that features a trans character
I know were a bit late but school and other things has been overwhelming the mods quite a bit, so this week + weekend will be set aside so we can finally choose. With 16 applicants, each of us has been assigned to four of you (seeing as theres currently only 4 active mods) we'll be contacting you over the week so do be patient! Thank you! -Mod Ekko
trans people taking testosterone need to drink orange juice cause testosterone weakens your immune system!! trans people taking estrogen need to drink milk cause estrogen causes calcium to be absorbed less
If you’re lactose intolerant you can eat nuts and if you’re allergic to oranges, most other fruits have vitamin c. If fruits aren’t an option, there’s also vitamin c supplements.
Good info. Pass it on.
Jazz Jennings is Finding Her Voice
At 6 years old, Jazz Jennings became one of the first openly transgender children ever to appear on television. Eight years later, she boasts a children’s book, YouTube fame, and a TLC reality show — but can she balance being the most famous transgender kid in America with just being a kid? Read more.
The Testosterone FAQ
Jay says:
We get so many questions about testosterone, but some of them repeat. A lot. And that’s okay, cos we want to give you all the info, but I’m gonna answer some frequent questions about T here. (Fun fact, these asks are going right back to the start of our testosterone tag, so some of these Qs are really really old!!)
I’m a singer. How will T affect my voice?
This was a huge question for me too, as a singer. I’m a solid soprano, and the idea of losing my (freaking huge) range. To echo Fox and Phoenix’s sentiments from a long time ago, you have options. First, you can take a lower dose, which will adjust your voice slower and allow you to have more control. Second, you can practise every single day, and if possible get a singing teacher who has experience with trans people or pubescent boys. Lastly, you can take T in pill form or gel form, which generally give slower changes, as in the first point.
Obviously, in regards to dose and to what kind of T you take, your doctor IS the final say in this.
I’m scared of needles. How can I take T?
T comes in needle form, pill form, dissolvable tablet form, pellet injection form, and gel form! Not all forms are availible everywhere, so be sure to ask your doctor.
What are the effects of T?
To quote Fox from a year ago:
facial hair
enlarged clitoris
voice deepens
possible growth spurt
skin roughens
features become more defined/squared
possible changes in energy/appetite/mood/etc.
growth in the hands and feet
fat redistribution
monthly cycle stops
There’s more, less prominent changes too.
Do I have to take T forever?
Yes and no. Some changes will stay, such as voice, facial hair, and clit growth, but others will just disappear - your monthly cycle will return, and metabolism will change.
Will I get taller?
Yes and no. If you’re still young and in puberty, then yes, maybe you will. But if you’re over the age of 20, more than likely, no.
Will T make me bald?
Check your maternal grandad, uncles, etc, cos that’s the side that male pattern balding runs in. If you want to counteract male pattern balding, there are treatments for it, both over the counter and more “intense”.
T Price?
It really varies based on location, type of T, insurance, etc. Most people pay less than $60 a month.
What about changes….down there?
There’s a few changes in the genital area that everyone should be aware of. First, clit growth. This is one of the first things most people notice on T, and it’s been dubbed the T-dick. Second, dryness. The bazinga (codeword for the genitals) is less naturally lubricated (as that’s the job of estrogen) so you might get really dry, so extra lube for sex situations. And monthly cycles stop!
How old do I need to be for T?
Most places will put you on at 16 with parental consent, and 18 without parental consent.
I will update this with more Qs!
Mod Applications are CLOSED
Me being forgetful, decided to finally call this off. The Mod Applications are now closed, and we will be reviewing them over this weekend and week. Thank you to everyone! -Mod Ekko
Is there anyway to take t without needles? I really really want it buuuutim deathly afraid of needles, like I ran away and hid from the school nurse when she administered my needed injections and I cry at the thought of needle. That's where my dilemma comes in
Hey friend,Yes there are ways you can take t without needles. There is a gel and there is also pills but the gel is more common. The changes with the gel are slower but it will help if you are afraid of needles.-Mod Kaiden
I keep getting stronger bursts of dysphoria but my subconscious keeps saying that I'm just faking it to myself, that I really don't have dysphoria and it's all in head. So can dysphoria develop later on after you figure out you're trans? I'm still stuck in the "you have to have known you were different" mentality sadly, especially when I get depressed. I feel like I'm just trying to be "special" even though I tell myself that's not the case
Dysphoria ment, genital mentionNah, dysphoria can happen at any time! For a while, I lived as a lesbian and I was didn't feel dysphoria. I remember being perfectly fine despite my presentation to the world, be it extremely feminine or masculine.I started feeling dysphoria though like half way in this relationship (not because of the relationship, so i was extremely confused why) and started iding as genderfluid at the time, with a very accepting girlfriend. It wasn't until recently I started feeling heavy heavy dysphoria (I'm still questioning between agender/trans man, but I know I'm not suppose to have the genitals I have at the moment) So yes, it's perfectly normal to feel dysphoria later, despite not showing it at an early age at all. I was just a weird mix between a somewhat tomboy but also a fairy lover but your interest at a young age or even now doesnt effect your gender because gender =/= gender roles. Also, it's also normal to not realize that you may have been dysphoric before, just didn't realize it until recently which is also okay. (Also, I feel like I'm faking a lot when I get depressed as well, but it's normal to doubt yourself when you're still young and learning yourself. Best of luck! You are 100% valid~)-Mod Ekko
whenever im in public i try to walk and sit "like a guy". trouble is, it gets fairly tiring after a while, and whats natural for me to do is seen as feminine. is there any way other than just practice to feel more comfortable?
I guess theres a few ways, but most require *some* practice, but not in the forcing yourself sense.I get it, always sitting with my legs crossed and walking femininely, well heres one thing you can do alone or in public: Wear like a packer. (If you dont have one, substitute with whateever at your disposal) and have it there. In an almost natural way, it'll help you feel like; "Hey, theres something there, I need to be more careful." and helps you subconciously and naturally walk in a more "guy like" way! Good luck! (input from others would be greatly appreciated)-Mod Ekko
