heyo just a psa: gc2b is not safe anymore. old binders from them are fine but new ones are way lower quality and will almost certainly mess up your ribs (think warping or breaks). don't get binders from amazon because they also tend to be dangerous. underworks seems to have maintained their good ratings, so if you need a binder consider going with them, and remember to always do your own research :D

Comic about trans men in the health care system I made for magazine Ottar last autumn! Please note that it presents a Swedish perspective unless stated otherwise, as it is mostly based on Swedish studies. I would however argue that it has implications on the state of healthcare for trans people in other places as well. Thank you so much Hedvig for translating this!

BREATHE: JOURNEYS TO HEALTHY BINDING by Maia Kobabe and Sarah Peitzmeier, with colors by Ashley R Guillory, is now available for pre-order :D
A graphic guide to chest binding with real-life stories and research-backed advice from bestselling Gender Queer author Maia Kobabe and University of Michigan professor Sarah Peitzmeier. Breathe arose from the need for an evidence-based resource for folks considering chest binding as gender-affirming care. Its original form was a 32-page digital-only 'zine, but Peitzmeier and Kobabe saw potential for reaching a wider audience with an expanded version with more art and more exploration of what the research really shows about binding, designed to be easily readable as a printed book. This is the result. To create Breathe, Peitzmeier and her research team interviewed many people of different ages and backgrounds about their journeys with binding, and then she and Kobabe combined excerpts from those interviews with evidence-based resources on binding into this extremely accessible book. The result is both a practical resource for trans and nonbinary folks and an engaging and perspective-broadening read for anyone interested in what it means to be on a journey of expressing one's gender in the ways that are joyful, healthy, and affirming.
64 pages, fully illustrated, single tone colors. Due out from Dutton Books for Young Readers May 2024.
Please order it anywhere except Amazon :)

An Alberta doctor says Premier Danielle Smith will struggle to attract trans specialists to the province if her other policies restricting health-care options for trans youth are made law. Dr. Kate Greenaway, a trans health-care specialist and medical director of the Foria Clinic, is part of a growing number of medical professionals calling on the UCP to scrap the proposed legislation. Greenaway said restricting health care for trans and non-binary youth will create a "culture of fear and discrimination" that will act as a barrier to attracting specialists or even keeping the few that already practise here.

For Trans folks and allies in Missouri
Oliver, a trans man in Missouri, put together this video to share resources and ideas for how to access or maintain access to gender affirming care as the Attorney General’s rule goes into effect:
youtube
Please share this as widely as possible as trans people in Missouri need to figure out how to get care ASAP before the rule is scheduled to go into effect on April 27th. There is still hope that the rule could be blocked, but we need to prepare in the very probable case that it is not.
Please share other resources for trans people in Missouri on this post as well.
Sending so much love to those of you in Missouri. This is awful. Just know that even if you haven’t found supportive people to be in your life, the trans and LGBTQ+ organizations in your area are made up of people who care, and who want you to thrive. Search for a local chapter of organizations like the Human Rights Campaign or GLAAD. Check out the National Center for Transgender Equality’s website; this has self-help guides and will be a hub of resources. Check out r/TransDIY on Reddit for community support and resources. 
Do what you can to take care of yourself and your community, and please ask for help. You deserve access to care, and there are people who can help you get it.

Introducing: The Guide to Bottom Growth
Quick warning as I will be using anatomical terms, and I will include anatomical diagrams.
What is bottom growth and what does it look like?
Bottom growth is a common term for the enlarged clitoris, after taking T.
When you take testosterone, it induces growth in the clitoris. The growth can be pretty significant. When it grows, it comes to resemble a cis penis, on a smaller scale. It has a shaft, retractable foreskin, and head.
The clitoris and the penis- how are they related?
So, when a fetus is growing, they all start out female. The clitoris is the same bit as the glans or "head" of a cis man's penis. The growth into a penis is influenced by testosterone.
Can I prevent bottom growth?
No. Whether it grows a lot or a little is dependant on genes and your dosage, but it will happen.
It is also irreversible. While some have claimed that it has shrunken after stopping T, this is unusual and may be dependant on your genes.
What are some other names for bottom growth?
This is all up to you, based on your personal preference. Some people stick to calling it their clit or clitoris, some call it a T-Dick, some call it their bottom growth and some refer to it as a cis man would, using terms like dick, cock, penis, etc.
How big does it get?
It varies, just like with penis size. On average, most people end up with around 1-2 inches. Some people can end up with more than 3 inches! Like cis penises, they get bigger when aroused.
Can I stand and pee from it?
No. Your bottom growth is located above the urethra. While some people have enough growth to guide the flow of urine along the bottom of the shaft, this is highly dependant on your personal anatomy and can be really messy!
A surgery like *metoidioplasty can be preformed in conjunction with a urethral lengthening, which would then allow you to stand to pee using your bottom growth.
*Metoidioplasty, or meta, is a type of bottom surgery that releases the bottom growth from the labia minora. It is typically preformed with urethral lengthening, scrotoplasty and a vaginectomy. However, not everyone chooses to have each of these surgeries.

Tumblr media
Can I use it for sex?
Yes. You can preform oral sex on bottom growth, just like with a cis penis. You can use toys on it- vibrators, fleshlights, strokers, etc. Whatever works for you.
Can I use it for penatrative sex?
Short answer: yes. If you have enough growth, you may be able to penetrate a vagina. However, to my knowledge, anal penetration is not possible with just bottom growth.
Do I need to clean it?
Yes. This can be done easily by pulling the foreskin back and cleaning any buildup out with a wet q-tip. This area may be sensitive- clean at your own pace.

As always please feel free to ask questions, I will answer to the best of my ability.

Have you had a bad experience with GC2B?
Hi! I’m Mayson, a non-binary trans masc freelance writer. I’ve seen a lot of concerns/complaints about GC2B’s recent products on here, trustpilot, and Reddit—but no official channels. As a queer person that works in safe and sustainable fashion, I find this concerning. If this is legitimate, everyone who binds needs to know about it, not just those on social media.
All of that to say: I would to hear about your experience with the brand and it’s binders, particularly the early ones versus the current ones. You can dm me on here, or if you’d like you can dm me and request my work email if you have a lot to say.
(Im not usually a please reblog this person, but this is a health and safety issue for our community, and I’d like to have as many first-hand experiences as possible. So if you wouldn’t mind, please reblog this so more people can see it.)
Thank you💛💛💛

The drug finasteride, already used to treat hair loss and enlarged prostates, could also help to cut the risk of heart disease. In an analysis of data from both male humans and mice, the drug was shown to improve health and reduce levels of cholesterol. Too much cholesterol in the body is well known to increase heart disease risk, as it encourages atherosclerosis: fatty deposits in blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood through the arteries. Eventually, that can lead to strokes or heart attacks.

hi not being called the name and pronouns you want to be called is a big fucking deal actually. yes, i know honey, you're used to it. you're so used to it, because you have to be. because if you realized how people don't see *you,* and instead see who they *want* you to be... it'd hurt too much. and i don't want to trigger that pain here.
but i do want you to know that just because it doesn't feel important on the surface, doesn't mean it isn't significant. doesn't mean you don't deserve better. doesn't mean you shouldn't fight for yourself. i want you to know your feelings and the pain they cause matter, no matter how repressed they are.
being queerly gendered is hard in this world, and it's even harder when people don't truly see you. whether they're passing strangers who make too many assumptions about you, or people meant to love you who refuse to see who you are. it's hard. it's tiring. and one day, when you get all the love and support you deserve, you'll know just how important you are.
until then... take care. be patient with yourself. give yourself a little grace. even seemingly unrelated things get exhausting or distressing when your identity is ignored. that's natural. it's not your fault. ever. it's theirs.
