Hey, I was a mod named Aiden on this blog before! I deleted my old tumblr but I was thinking, since I’m more active on twitter, could I maybe make a transboyslovegirls on twitter?

Ok

Hey y'all please don't forget to tag nsfw posts!!

We do not reblog NSFW content on this blog. NSFW content has been defined by the community policies of Tumblr and transgender content, including packers, is not included. I did tag the post as containing a packer. You should add the packer tag to your filters.

The death of the Sailor Softpack- l bought it in March 2017 for $20, and by 2019 it’s become unwearable.

It’s way too sticky to be fixed by corn starch, and parts start coming off and sticking on your hand or underwear like silly putty.

While the Sailor completely melted, my silicone packers that were kept in the same conditions are fine.

Help a disabled trans man

A few days ago, I reached out in the hopes that someone would give me $5 so I could afford to buy myself lunch. I was blessed with $10 instead.

Now I would once again like to reach out to Tumblr and ask instead for help being able to afford a walker. My cane is not cutting it, especially as a college student who needs to commute to campus, navigate around it and carry a heavy backpack. I am asking for at least $20 to cover the cost of this adult walker but since I have to travel to go pick it up, $30 would be much appreciated. Of course, I am not expecting any one person to donate an entire $30 or even $10. Just $1 helps.

I am also going to keep this open-ended because while my main goal is the walker, I also have major healthcare expenses. I need to go to a neurologist and get an electromyography. My doctor wants me to get a blood test before that though. I am transgender and see an endocrinologist and get blood tests for that. And I see a psychiatrist and take fluoxetine (an SSRI; I don’t take the brand name but if you wanna know, it’s called Prozac).

My insurance does not cover much when it does cover anything, so the costs are very high. I appreciate any help even if I just get a few bucks to go towards the walker.

Mostly doing good, I made my first two trans friends this month, I can be like "Man, dysphoria sucks, amirite?" and finally I get the response "F-CK I feel you man, I feel you." My romantic life pretty much consists of me watching romantic movies on netflix, but I'm positive it'll become better with the passing of the years. I hope the next few weeks will be easier on you, bud, thanks for the check in.

Yup! The Hot Rod will finally be available October 14th.

As the pimped up big brother of the Rod, the Hot Rod is a super fun toy for solo and partner play. It attaches directly to your natural anatomy without the need for adhesives or a harness. Like the Joystick, it features a lubrication/ejaculation reservoir and can also be used in conjunction with either a rechargeable remote control bullet vibe, or a more basic battery bullet vibe inserted into the shaft. The unique internal design allows you to feel the entire shaft, and the internal ridges, stimulate the wearer through both a squeeze and pull action.

Being a closeted trans guy, and shopping with your mom is a nightmare.

Me: *finds something I like in the men’s section* I like this

My mom: *finds the same shirt in the women’s section* :)

@ppl who are getting top surgery

I’m not going to make a long masterpost of dos and don'ts about post-op care for top surgery, there’s plenty of those, but I will say this:

BUY LIQUID VITAMIN E.

it’s not that expensive, you can find it bottled in the beauty department or in capsules by the vitamins.

What does it do? It softens your skin. After surgery, your skin is pulled extremely tight, painfully so, even a week after I couldn’t raise my arms very high because it pulled at the incisions. It prevents stretch marks, softens your skin, and helps reduce scarring

I finally got some today and it was instant relief, it’s just a thick oil and you can put on drops or puncture capsules to cover your skin in it, this is the most pain-free I’ve been since before the surgery

So just, if you’re getting that (or really any surgery that’ll result in really tight stitches or incisions), get some vitamin E

Mod Logan—Announcement

Hello my fine sirs, I’m extremely sorry but I’ll be leaving all social media on Thursday. To the best of my knowledge the other two officiators of this blog will maintain it.

In an act of self care, I’ve decided to leave Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr behind for at least a year, starting on my 23rd birthday. I hope that if I ever return, it will be with news that I’ve accomplished some of my goals.

If you’re trying to stay in touch with me, you may reach out between now and October 11th on my main blog (HardingL2017) and I’ll respond with contact info.

Thank you for helping to make this a great place!

👨🏽👩🏾❤️

Everyday you get closer to hormones

Hey, Logan here. It’s been a crazy few weeks but I’m back! I was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago due to some suicide/depression issues, but I got the help I needed and am back on the right track. I’ve also gotten my name officially changed!!

Mod Logan Here...

Just want to check in on all of you. See how you’re doing.

I’ve had a rough couple weeks but I’ve been hanging with some guys and now I’m a work-boot wearing, car-fixing, Mountain Dew-drinking, grizzly wintergreen-chewing MAN. It feels like such a big stereotype but I swear to god it also feels manly as fuck. Oh, and I’m fostering a coonhound named Truck.

I think all I need now is a Carhartt jacket and a signature baseball hat. Just saying.

How are you exploring and expressing yourself? Any luck with the ladies?

Not just pride either. I was roofied on NYE a couple years back at the gay club. I have a heart issue, I actually could have died. The only reason I didn’t was because a drag queen who saw me there alone checked on me right before I lost consciousness and carried me out with the assistance of another transguy so the paramedics could get to me. I wish it wasn’t phrased the way it is, but y’all have to remember to watch out for yourself and the people around you.

if you’re a baby gay and this is your first pride, watch your drinks! men are trash across all sexualities

The stigma around acne is one of the most pernicious parts of norms around appearance and there is just so little ANY media does to combat that and it. is. infuuuuriating

From basically age 15 through my early twenties I consistently had acne and the response was always that I shouldn’t let it get to me cause “It won’t last/you’ll grow out of it/there are treatments”. The message was never that acne was okay, it was always that it was bad but temporary. 

And it stopped me from doing so much! Skin “problems” are such a blow to your confidence. I remember sitting in the living room with my parents and hearing a knock on the door and running to hide cause I didn’t want anyone to see me cause I felt so ugly and EMBARRASSED that I had acne. I’d cancel plans, sit out birthday parties, skip trips, all sorts of things because of having acne.

It wasn’t just in my head either! It was all over the media and it was ingrained in the culture. Acne was unattractive and was associated with being young and gross and uncool and unlikable. That’s what every TV show said, that’s the joke every comedian made, that’s what commercials and movies would show and it’s what adults would say when they’d comment on your skin (SUPER weird that adults comment on the looks of kids at all, but that’s a whole other thing).

But HERE’S THE THING!

While I had acne I had this thought I didn’t feel confident expressing because I felt like I was just trying to cheer myself up by lying to myself, but now, having spent years not really dealing with acne, I feel super confident saying that the stigma is all complete bullshit!

I’m thirty. I’ve had dated, I’ve had sex, I’ve made new friends and left old groups half a dozen times, worked in a variety of fields, all through this my skin has been in various states of acne-ness and the people I’ve dated, had sex with, befriended, worked with have all had skin in various states of acne-ness. 

And it’s nothing. Acne is like the length of someone’s fingers or whether they have freckles or the size of someone’s feet. It isn’t inherently attractive or unattractive, it’s just one of the many random traits people have. There’s not a single person I have been less attracted to because they have acne, nor has there been a single person I’ve respected less or not trusted with a job because of acne. At no point as an adult have I had any experiences with ANYONE where someone having acne was a thing that negatively impacted how I perceived them.

It’s just utter bullshit. Acne doesn’t matter! It’s totally fine if you have acne! If it goes away, neat, and if it doesn’t, also neat! The stigma around it culturally is like the stigma around every other part of people’s looks: It’s either rooted in capitalist beauty exploitative industry norms or it’s rooted in arbitrary appearance standards set by randos with too much power. There aren’t objectively unattractive or attractive traits and that absolutely 2000000% includes acne.

No one should ever feel bad or ashamed or uncool or unsexy because of acne and it’s fucking criminal that it is still considered culturally acceptable to make jokes about it and treat people like less than for it. 

Acne is in no way a subtractive or negative feature - that is just propaganda and anyone that peddles that shit has a lot to answer for.

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM
