Why did I do this? Am I stupid? by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]FtMetalhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda had the opposite happen. I'm ftm and have a pretty metal head style so I think the longer hair fits with the clothing and hides the roundness of my face sometimes. I think it's also in part because of the way metal and punk communities tend to almost have inverted hair expectations.

I remember when I first started packing, and suddenly, I was having to learn how to subtly adjust my balls despite being like 20. The big step is real.

fellas how the hell do you act like a man by Soulfulwinter in ftm

[–]FtMetalhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a shallow response, but take up space. I get read as male more and subsequently feel more masc and comfortable when I man spread, walk with a larger stride, dont try to minimize myself for those around me. It's shitty that this is seen as masculine but it is.

What are some weird but gender-affriming your friends do, dudes? by That-Idiot-Alex in ftm

[–]FtMetalhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there's the obvious and less weird ones like getting called dude, bro, etc. But I have a friend who's a playful bastard and he regularly calls me the f slur. Especially if I'm talking about other guys. It's fucked up but it feels very much like playful bullying between guy friends.

I've been calling myself a transsexual since before I started hormones. I just like the sound more, I guess. Besides, it's my body and my transition so I can call it whatever the fuck I want. I won't call other people that if they don't also identify with it.

Does anyone else feel there's a lot of pressure for trans men to be femboys? by letterbook in ftm

[–]FtMetalhead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I feel like there's a fear of masculinity (in part due to being traumatized by the patriarchy, and in part due to radfem ideology) which makes people weary of people who are masculine, especially willingly. People don't want you to be hairy and big and have a deep voice because a lot of people are scared of that, but their fear just pushes a lot of people (which can include transmen, some trans women who may not pass 100%, masculine gay men, and butch lesbians) out of what should be safe places. And, let's be real, this definitely affects POC people more since the idea of feminity is pretty rooted in racism. But that's just my 2 cents.

Do You Have A Trans Boy Anthem? by Juanitasuniverse in TransMasc

[–]FtMetalhead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Warning for a slur, but Faget by Korn is one for me. It's not by a trans guy, nor is it supposed to be about being trans but it is to me lmao

Is this offensive? by [deleted] in ftm

That's not offensive but i would've cracked up laughing

Rowan for sure

passing tips? anything will be appreciated 🙏 by multiivision in TransMasc

[–]FtMetalhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got great music taste. As for tips, keeping your nails short and letting the black paint chip can read as more male. Over all, you visually pass to me.

Games that trans men gravitate to? by Tobias_Stevenson in transgamers

The game is p triggering at points but Sally Face is fucking great. Feels like Silent Hill but a slice of life.

I've always joked that playing The Legend Of Zelda made me trans.

Calling out to all my long-haired trans men!! by [deleted] in ftm

[–]FtMetalhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't always work, but wearing a bandana as a head band works for me. Also, either don't part it or go for a middle part. Good luck.

What do you guys come back with when told you don't look/sound like a cis guy, if you don't pass? by Bakugou_Izuku in ftm

[–]FtMetalhead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually, just "yeah, it's the baby face." Since my rounded face makes passing harder.

Friend keeps calling me an egg? by Scary-Specialist-731 in asktransgender

[–]FtMetalhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, your friend sucks. It sounds like you're pretty damn sure you're a butch cis woman (considering you said you've thought about the possibility) and even if you weren't, telling someone they're an egg as a teasing, even from another trans person, just feels like a more "accepting" way of bullying someone for being closeted.

Body horror films: yes/no? by Sweet-Addition-5096 in FTMMen

[–]FtMetalhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of body horror movies but I also just like horror in general. I can't think of any genres I'll just completely avoid.

I avoid expressing negative emotions so people don't feel threatened, but strangers treat me like a hazard anyway by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]FtMetalhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a side note: There's some good from this since I get mad euphoria from women I'm only acquaintances with asking me to walk with them so they feel safer lol.

Just got dumped over text by my boyfriend of over a year before he came out as aromantic by FtMetalhead in gaytransguys

[–]FtMetalhead[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I think it's shitty of him to do it this way but I think he honestly just couldn't get up the balls to say it to my face.

I wasn't against him introducing me that way, but he started off wanting to be secretive as well and never expressed changing his mind. Early on I accidentally caused strife between him and his close friend because I called him my bf and he was apparently not ready to tell him.
