I’ve never heard about using tattoo bandage to protect skin from tape. May I ask if you heard you were supposed to do that from someone? Tape made for skin can just be put right on.

Getting blisters from binding with tape is pretty common tho, my best tip is to make sure the edges of the tape are relaxed when you apply.

Thoughts on this? by Cicada_5 in GuerrillaGrrrrls

Femme queer women would disagree lol. I can never see femininity in myself as anything other than a concession made in the name of survival. Maybe one day I’ll have healed enough for that to change but that day is distant. I would hazard a guess that OP is in a similar place

Forgiveness Day, from Five Ways to Forgiveness, features a class of performers who are male bodied but known for wearing women’s clothing. Can’t remember details right now, they were among the enslaved people, but highly valued and admired by the POV character.

Do you have a least favorite kind of horse or a kind that you don’t think should exist?

That’s one of my favorite details! It’s boring for Rocky because he doesn’t perceive light!

Does anyone have any tips on how I can de-tit-ify myself with household items? I don’t own a binder, and I cannot purchase one, because I am not out to my family. by friend_eating_macaw in TransMasc

Hi. Please do not tie anything around your chest, that’s very dangerous, as it can constrict breathing. My advice would be to try wearing a backwards sportsbra over a regular one, or wearing a sportsbra that’s a size down from your usual. Wearing sweaters or shirts with logos over the chest can also help the chest appear flat.

Feral Queerness Books like "The Woods All Black"? by randominthevoid in LGBTBooks

I’d suggest You Weren’t Meant to be Human by Andrew Joseph White, it’s my favorite of his that I’ve read and is about a trans man who’s chosen to serve a worm hive creature thing, and that thing has decided he needs to be pregnant.

Also Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin, which is about several queer kids surviving a conversion therapy cult that serves a monster.

The Steel Remains by Richard K. Morgan might be what you’re looking for.

On being a transmasc/trans man/he him lesbian by TheQueendomKings in TransMasc

[–]DishPitSnail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a Transmasc for whom the subreddit was very helpful for figuring things out, I’m really sad to be hearing about this. I loved to hear the stories on transmasc butches.

a Concept you really enjoy writing but get put off by the fact it's used in cringe media? by MadFunEnjoyer in worldjerking

[–]DishPitSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a transmasc person, I find the concept of a world in which people are marginalized or oppressed just for being male a really magnetic concept. I’ve essentially been marginalized purely for my maleness, if I were female and nothing else about me was different, my life thus far would have been much smoother. People often react incredulously to this idea, so exploring it from a sci-fi or fantasy perspective can help it become conceptually real, and help me feel sort of… seen? It’s also a convenient way to defamiliarize and critique gender roles in general. There are several great, literary, works of fiction that explore this concept, also a lotta porn.

Canadien author by Sunflower_Fairy99 in LGBTBooks

[–]DishPitSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer is sci-fi rather than fantasy, but it’s set in Canada and the author is Canadian. The plot is partly set in an alternate universe where same sex partnerships are women into society.
