My bf is FtM and for all intents and purposes, interested in just 100% being a regular boring dude. But so many online ftm spaces are full of anti-HRT hyperfeminine people that he has trouble finding relatable content. He’s ex-transmed too. Anyone relate?

i was gonna comment about smth like this on that post about people on hrt IDing as transsexual vs transgender but it’s already got a lot of discourse. i’m a femme trans guy but i’ve been on T for 3 years and i love all my masculine traits i’ve gotten from it. it is really frustrating hearing all the anti-hrt shit and i personally think it’s because a lot of people view masculinity and masculine traits as gross or undesirable. i love being hairy i love having a deeper voice

My bf is the exact same way! And I’m a trans woman on E. I found a lot of the anti-HRT postings to be absurd. My bf is an ex-transmed (thankfully he isn’t anymore) but stuff like this still bothers him because he feels like he doesn’t have “his people” who want to be masculine like he does

i love how i can build muscle now on T. i could yap about this for ages but just let him know he’s not alone in this and that it’s perfectly fine to just wanna be a regular guy. i would also recommend him getting involved in some in person transmasc spaces and groups if thats available in your area. it’s great to talk to other trans guys about your experiences and similarities. it’s mostly the online spaces that are riddled with these types of discourses.

The in-person ones in my area suck unfortunately 😭 so we connect with a lot of them online

i would also recommend trying to connect with older trans guys if you can. the ones i’ve met have been super chill and have a lot of insight on just presenting as a regular guy out in the world especially at work. in my experience is mostly younger trans people that start discourse and exclude conversations about more binary trans people.
