It’s pretty crazy if you look on any porn site under the trans category. If there even is porn with a transmasc person (rare), it’s almost always with a cis man and the trans man is always on the bottom. Feels gross that that’s the only thing available most of the time.

I’m not a Christian but I go to church and have for a while. I recently came out to my church as well. It was a long time coming and I built up to that moment by transitioning in every other way that I could so that it wouldn’t be as much of a surprise. My pastor was supportive from the moment that I came out. I sent out a coming out letter to the whole church and got a lot of support. For reference, I live in the rural deep south. My church is a united Methodist church.

I highly recommend that you look around for different churches if this one isn’t fitting or you don’t feel accepted. Just go to a different one for a Sunday or two and see how the vibe is and how it makes you feel. I have heard that Episcopalians, united Methodists, united church of Christ, and Lutherans are affirming, but a lot of times it will depend on each individual church to what degree.

Another option is to visit a Unitarian Universalist church. Although it is not an explicitly christian church, they are welcoming of Christians and it’s kind of a “everyone has their own religious beliefs but we all believe in kindness, helping others, and respect towards each other” deal. They are explicitly affirming and one of the most progressive churches.

Also, if money allows please consider getting couple’s therapy with your wife. There are plenty of faith based and non faith based ones out there who can help y’all work through things.

It’s been a week that’s for sure

Nice

Hello,

This website has a ton of literature on every subject related to trans people. Take some of the stuff with a grain of salt, since there is some transphobic literature on there for educational purposes. You should be able to find what you’re looking for on here, though.

What’s the name of that comic series with the character on top. I’ve seen it before.

Edit: Found it.

I feel ya. If you ever need a support group DM me.

Even if you don’t have a deep voice pre T, vocal training will still be of great help. There are a lot of vocal habits and innotations that people read as male or female. Just having a deep voice will not make you sound like a man or masculine.

Also this is a good resource for styling:

Hello, Zeke,

Unfortunately I haven’t had top surgery yet due to monetary reasons so I can’t give you much anecdotal evidence, but there is another post on this community about silicone gel being effective.

I also recommend trying voice training and figuring out your vocal range. There’s a couple of videos on YouTube that really helped me out. I can get you those resources if you’d like.

I’m glad you chose to post on this community. Feel free to ask all the questions in the world.

Thought this was an interesting article. They only mention Underworks once which is a shame, though. Underworks is my personal favorite brand.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind when I get top surgery.

My week was annoying. The WiFi wasn’t working for eight days and the AC quit working as well. Not a pleasant expierence. Been pretty bored and aimless these days.

There are some projects in the works by members of this community to make a comprehensive voice training resource. I’ll ask around.

I would be much more concerned about domestic terrorists than foreign terrorists at this point.

Hey Emma, hope ya find someone. You’re a very cool person and it’s been nice knowing you online. Being isolated sucks.

My siblings have been pretty supportive from day one. I appreciate them. A good friend of mine is a trans man and it’s been nice to have someone who understands what I’m going through.

Corporate pride for the win…sigh

Ok

It worked. You fixed it.
