*whispers* More transguy representation please.

More transguys who don’t pass for cis, and who maybe don’t want to pass as cis.

More transguys who are proud of being effeminate and are still men.

More transguys that aren’t buff muscleheads or gamers, who don’t always enjoy stereotypically “male” things.

More transguys who like to wear dresses.

More transguys who don’t get hysterectomies/oophorectomies, and are proud to be men who can still bear children.

More transguys who don’t have full penises, because fuck, phalloplasties are expensive, and a very invasive medical procedure, and did you know you have to implant pumps in order to get an erection? Those things can potentially be a cause for infection, and require more invasive, expensive surgery a decade down the road to replace them because they start degrading. Plus there’s a risk that you won’t end up nerves growing into it, and there are just so many things that can still go wrong, even with our advancements in technology.

More transguys who aren’t on hormones, for various reasons. Either because they can’t take testosterone for medical reasons, or financial reasons, or because they just don’t want to.

More gay, bi, pan, asexual transguys, because men aren’t all sex-crazed machines, be they cis or trans.

More transguys getting their periods. More transguys being okay with that, and more transguys who are completely devastated by it, because it’s a personal reaction and each person can feel however they want about the reminder of what their body is doing and have their own reactions to the monthly fluctuations in hormones, no matter if their periods are painful or not.

More feminist transguys, because ladies have to put up with a lot of shit, and they know from firsthand experience, and damnit, we need to stop this.

More transguys with high voices and babyfaces.

More short transguys, and tansguys with small feet, who have a hard time finding clothes/shoes in their sizes, because no one makes them that small.

Basically, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any transguy in media, and therefore we have no role models to look up to. Or else we have to find our own. And even then, it’s so hard, and many that get media attention aren’t the ones that always look like we want to. Bodybuilders and stereotypically “hot” actors and porn stars are all good, but they aren’t variety. We need more transguys in media and the news, because it’s so hard to think anything positive about yourself when you’re stuck in the clutches of dysphoria and you can’t even find anyone to look up to who’s either going through your same problems, or has gotten past those problems and is proof that you can get where you want to be.

also,more curvy and fat trans guys who need to shop in women’s clothing sections because they don’t have clothes that can accomodate curvy men and short, fatter trans men.
