Do you guys feel invisible in trans content across social media? PLEASE ENGAGE SO I CAN HELP⚠️
I’m a 26 yr old transman 8 yrs on T and was wondering, do you guys see black transmen visible on social media or is it I just haven’t found them? Most of us I think aren’t as open on social media. The same scrutiny cis black men face for being anything other than tough or straight I think we face and alot of times self impos. For me, I used to be visible but it got annoying being the main topic of my existence and also the trump scare last year made me be more careful. Do you guys wish you had representation for black trans men on social media or somewhere even private like our own app or something? If so, how would you want to see it? In business, music, fitness, helping newer transmen with learning how to be real men since it can be hard and sometimes toxic trying to learn it from the wrong ones? I ask because I dont want to just be hidden, I want to help and I create music, I transformed my body to 195lb of lean muscle, I am in business, and I also have learned what it is to be a man, how not to undermine yourself, learn to be confident, direct, etc all as a black transman without losing who I am.
First Post, What’s up?
What’s up everyone?! I’ve been out as my authentic self since 2019 when I started taking my HRT on March 11, 2019. How is everyone feeling? I just wanted to make an initial post about myself. I hope everyone has an awesome and enjoyable holiday weekend! ✌🏽🫶🏽

How should I explain to my niece and nephew that I’m trans?
For context, I’ve been taking T for about 2.5 years and have had top surgery for 1.5 years; I would say I pass about 70% of the time and my niece and nephew are 10 and 11.
My nephew has started to notice my facial hair and my flat chest but nonetheless still said he loves me and often pairs it with a hug.
My conundrum is, we’re all going to a water park soon and I don’t exactly know if/how I should have this convo with them? Naturally I asked my mom what I should do and she said to just put a shirt on, but truthfully, I’m not sure if I want to. I worked really hard to get where I’m at and for some reason it just doesn’t feel fair? Idk…are they too young for a convo like this? Should I just continue to hide this side of me to avoid questions they may have? I’m really unsure rn so any opinions are welcomed and many thanks.
Am I passing?
I was recommended to post here instead of other trans servers and thought it would be a good idea to ask here
Am I passing or am I still in that clocky stage? what are some things I can work on to reach my goal?
For context im starting paramedic school in August i gotta take my piercings out but I don’t mind. Im post top surgery have been on t for a good minute and im post hysterectomy also. Im also working on my diet, weight loss and have been strength training also. I have a pretty basic style when it comes to clothes and don’t know what to do with my hair much but I like keeping it longer with a taper on the sides
Took my first T shot today
I jus want 2 respectfully say fuck yu 2 all of yall dat kinda fear mongered me into not doin shots nd respectfully yall all a bunch of pussies cus its not even dat bad 🤣
Beard coming in and painful pimples coming in as well! How to solve?
I'm still veery early in the beard process. I barely have anything but the few hairs I have seem to attract more pimples to my neck and jaw area, and they're PAINFUL! Any tips on this?
The locs are gone!
Yurrrr let’s go just my lil update. I ended not getting a line up I like not crispy hahah
My mom doesn't like my name choice
So, kind of like the post says. I chose the name Emmett because I really liked it and it was the first name I wanted and even though I went through a lot of names it's the name I stuck with. It also goes really well with my middle and last name which I'm not changing. Though, my mom doesn't like it because of the connotation with Emmett Till. I'm not changing Emmett but I need some ideas to bring her around to it.
I mean..
My hair has been a tough part for me since transitioning—I’ve had long, thick hair forever. Fro, waves, locs, whatever. Now, I really love it. Now I know my luck is in my hair. Very me and I’m proud.
