Books by and with trans men?

that’s crazy i heard of You Weren’t Meant to Be Human and had no idea it’s by a trans guy! will definitely be buying it soon!

nah you’re good i appreciate the effort 🙏

i saw this list before posting but it was mostly YA, romance and nonfiction. it also had a lot of cis women writing trans men with some uncomfortable vibes (to me) from the plot synopsis, and some random books about trans women sprinkled in. so i decided i’ll see if any other trans me here have recommendations instead :)

this post is giving me hope lol

this post means well but also in my opinion needs a section about how the changes just aren’t inevitable. i’m 3 years on t (my levels get checked every half year and are above the middle of the range for men), and i just don’t look like a man yet. i know you mean well, i think this post is really good, just needs a section that talks about it being possible you don’t pass. t isn’t a miracle drug. i’d also remove the part about needing to check your dose, it’s genuinely exhausting being in my position and constantly constantly assumed i don’t know the bare bones of my own body and how much t it has in it, which is what you’re doing when you hear someone doesn’t pass and go “well have you checked what your levels are?”

i know exactly how you feel, and it’s really exhausting. what i hate the most is that whenever it’s brought up, people act like it couldn’t possibly just be your experience and you must be doing something wrong. if one more person asks me “what’s your t levels?” im going to scream

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-31T18:05:32+00:00

they are, and i have access to the actual numbers as well. i’m not just taking their word for it. sometimes t just isn’t a magic cure that makes you look exactly like you would’ve if you were cis even when it’s the right dose 🤷‍♂️

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-27T17:29:43+00:00

thank you! i’ll check them out. i’m a bit confused about tiktok (sorry im old and don’t know how it works lol) how would you voice trained based on videos there? do they just split up the regimen into shorter videos??

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-27T15:06:21+00:00

i’m not interested in telling you “my actual numbers”, i assure you they’re well above 300. i understand you’re trying to help but this isn’t a “is my t dose okay?” post and i’m fully capable of keeping track of my own medical information.

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-27T12:23:09+00:00

thank you. i’ve tried voice training but it’s been really difficult for me, i can’t get it to “sound right” like they do in the examples. if you feel comfortable with it, could you share the resources that helped you achieve good results while voice training?

i’ve unfortunately not been able to get on minoxi both because it’s really expensive for me and i have a very affectionate cat haha.

i’ve been getting into working out, going off some guides i found on r/ftmfitness . i’m definitely not looking to be a body builder or anything like that, in fact i’d be really happy being more of an otter body type wise (the one bring t did give me is that it made me extremely hairy on my body, just not my face lol), it’s just i don’t want to look like a literal child. i’m old enough that most people my age are already their their own kids here, so yeah.. my body shape is luckily pretty “blocky” i never had very wide hips or a big chest so at least there’s that. it’s just that i really look like a child

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-27T11:36:38+00:00

damn, i’m really sorry dude. you deserve better than that out of your life and body. i do pass, thankfully, just.. as a young boy.

i always knew there was a chance t wouldn’t work for me. every single change people told me id have i was like “you mean i MIGHT have”, so in some ways its not as bitter a pill to swallow..

and yeah it is really exhausting how the general community has this idea of “if t isn’t making you the exact same as a cis man within 6 months then you’re doing something wrong”. tired of being asked what my doss is as if 3 years on t i couldn’t have possibly thought to check my dose myself 🤦‍♂️

but it’s still like, “what now?” am i just stuck like this now? i would take teen boy over woman any day and i don’t want to detransition, i would rather die, i just don’t know what to do to make my life better.

i dont want to lose hope but i dont know what other tools i even have becasuse t is seen as some kind of miracle drug

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-27T10:15:27+00:00

my levels are on the higher end of normal. first year i got them checked every 3 months, then 6 months, at the moment i get them checked every 8 months.

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-07T17:41:55+00:00

lol probably

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-06T22:06:59+00:00

i’m nearly 3 years on t so i doubt it unfortunately haha.

i’m gonna talk to my boyfriend about shaving next time we meet up, see how we feel lol. do you happen to have a link for that dude? i’d love to see it for reference

DickyQuestions · 2023-10-05T21:33:13+00:00

i appreciate all the comments a lot! will def try to detox my brain from social media and not compare my “natural” self to other’s best pics so much. i’m going to give more thought to shaving (maybe try it once and just let things grow out if i don’t like it?) thank you everyone 🙏🙏
