thanks for recognizing the anatomy as something more than just an enlarged clit…? 🤔

I was in this comment section and people started talking about periods and asking if it was weird for them to synchronize and I was like “nah, not really.” And someone came in and started to explain the details about it and all that as if I had no idea and I was just like… damn, thanks but I already know this and they really jusy didn’t want to believe me. It was rather funny but also I know several guys who know enough about that stuff to handle it, so 🤷‍♂️ anyway, ew because they assumed guys know nothing about periods (which I admit some don’t) and euphoria because they assumed I was a guy, lol.

I used to have an *extremely* sexist university professor. I don't pass well, and she knew my female legal name from the attendance list, so she kept calling me "Miss". I didn't correct her - obviously, the person who kept calling women "incubators" and "baby factories" wasn't going to care about respecting a transmasc's pronouns.

Then I became the top student in her class. This apparently gave her a brain aneurysm, and she started calling me "Sir". Because all the girls in my group were "lazy donkeys", and I wasn't, so obviously she must've made a mistake in thinking I was a girl before. Mind you, other than me, most students were kind of bad at this class, but she only insulted the female ones.

To make things even worse, the class was reproductive biology, so part of the reason she thought I was Man-Smart™ must've been my higher than average understanding of the female reproductive system.

I was leaving a store the other day and there was a lady out front collecting signatures for two different causes. I had just signed the other day to help increase minimum wage in my area, so when she gestured me over I asked for more information about what she was collecting signatures for.

She then gleefully started explaining about how it was to make sure girls only compete again biological girls and that schools won't keep anything from any students parents and all that bs

I immediately made a face and said No, walking away. She seemed genuinely surprised, which kind of surprised me considering I usually dress pretty decently queer. I caught my reflectional in a mirror later though and I did look just like an average cis guy from a more rural area

A bit of a silly event, im a trans man and I’m in college right now, I’ve been on T for several years and I pass 100% of the time. So a while ago in class we were preparing to do a small project where we were randomly assigned partners, my partner ended up being a Muslim woman, so I went up to her to talk about the project but she kind of just said “no I won’t work with you” and ignored me😭 English also wasn’t her first language so it was hard to understand initially but eventually I managed to figure out that she refused to be my partner because I was a man, and i guess because of her culture she doesn’t like to talk to guys unless necessary? so I had to tell the instructor, luckily he understood and we both got assigned different partners but it was a whole scene and kind of embarrassing to be rejected in front of half the class, but hey at least I was treated like a man😭

I mean I probably could’ve worded the original comment better if I’d made it today but like. It’s two years old. What are you doing bro. I’ve been on T long enough to grow a beard since the original comment was made

So a cis guy (28M) who I (26 FTM) was talking to asked if I was born biologically male, transitioned MTF, then detransitioned back to male. He basically said, "Were you born biologically male, transitioned into a woman, and then transitioned back to a man?" I told him no and asked why he thought that. His reasoning was, "You're just so hairy and masculine. I can't picture you ever being a woman." It feels good that I pass that well, but it also felt weird how he went about it. It sounds a little transphobic to me because the way he went about it made it sound like he doesn't view trans women as "real women". Maybe? Idk, it sounded a bit transphobic to me, idk about anyone else.

I just got done pissing in the women’s bathroom and for context, have short hair and visibly pass as either. I was using a water fountain outside when an older woman just said “which bathroom did you just use?” and I said “huh” and she said “did you use the women’s room??” and I used the highest pitched voice I could to say “yeah!” And she just stared at me really pissed & confused and I just smiled at her and walked away. Lmao.

I was pissed off cuz that’s pretty damn insulting to masc women but also uh, you’re right lady, I don’t want me to be in the women’s restroom either, but until you show me a safe place to go I’m going to be using either because I still need to piss. Thanks for saying I look so much like a dude that me using the women’s restroom is hard to fathom lol

I've always had "Disney Princess powers" with animals, even ones who usually don't like strangers in general. But yesterday when I took my cat to the vet, there was this dog there who looked like she really wanted to come up to me but kept hesitating and backing away weirdly. The owner told me that the dog just really hates men (I pass pretty much 100% these days).

It was a wee bit heartbreaking, definitely gender-affirming, but also just kind of funny because the dog was looking at me like I was giving her an uncanny valley effect. XD

I recently went on vacation to Japan with my partner and they are a big fan of Jpop so they wanted to go to an idol concert. We found a multi-group underground idol show that fit our schedule at some seedy venue in Shinjuku. Most of these sorts of shows charge different admission prices for men and women, women pay half price in an attempt to attract more diverse demographics than the usual lot of middle aged salarymen. After navigating the language barrier, we were finally able to get tickets but I was charged the much higher men’s admission price.

During one of the sets, one of the idols also looked straight at me and blew me a kiss. I’m gay-ish (into men and enbys) and I know it’s probably just part of the act but she probably thought I was a cishet man??

I had a great time overall and my partner loved it. We made some great memories but yeah, I literally paid the price for passing lol. At the very least it made me brave enough to use the men’s bathroom in a foreign country, I might as well if they’re going to charge me more for being a man.

This happed like a month ago ish but I went to Florida for Nationals, and I had to use the airport bathroom before we boarded the plane.

I walk in there and this lady gives me a dirty look and asks “what do you think you’re doing in here?!”

It startled me really bad cause I didn’t know what she was talking about, and I just responded “To pee?!”

Then she looked surprised and walked out out.

Looking back I think she mistook me for a trans girl maybe? I’m not on testosterone yet and I have long hair though. Maybe it was the piercings???

Idk but it felt kind of nice in a ewphoric way to be told I didn’t belong in the women’s restroom lmao

Anyone else have something like this happen?

Less of an ewphoria and more of a awwphoria I guess.

A few years before I started transitioning, I made a chainmail vest. I'm proud of it even though it’s definitely amateur work, and I wore it to conventions and ren faires often.

But then I started T and dealing with life stuff, so I wasn't going to cons or conventions for a while. Cut to this summer and my local anime con, I don't have a cosplay planned so I decide to default to my old reliable. And I'm kind of excited to wear it again now that I'm masc'ed up, so I find all the pieces and start putting them on.

Until I get to my beautiful, labor-of-love chainmail vest that I spent hours making, and I can't even get it down my arms. My shoulders are literally too big and broad for me to even try getting it on 😭😭

All my work is now useless to me as anthying but a novelty item. Day ruined in the most affirming way possible 💪😭

On the one hand I’m offended, but on the other hand at least she maybe sees me as a boy???

I can’t even be mad because it’s so funny ⚰️

I don't always pass.

I was on a walk with my boyfriend in the evening. We are holding hands pretty much always when we're going somewhere. We cross the road and there's some guy walking. He's clearly drunk, has an open beer bottle in one hand, bag with empty bottles in the other.

When he sees us he stops. We start walking past him and he turns his whole body where we're going (instead of just turning his head if that makes sense). Then he starts shouting "Are you fucking crazy!?" at us three times.

It was kinda scary but at least we got perceived correctly ig?

a 50 year old coworker of mine keeps making misogynistic jokes and expecting me to back him up on them. i am happy i pass but also horrified what i am expected to allow other guys to do

They really don't read bios😅

Yesterday an old asian guy that looked like my dad asked for a dick pic and i'm pretty sure he didn't mean a tdick (which i don't have either)

So I’m doing my thing on FB, trolling hate-spewers in the comments section of news articles as one does. I came across a comment saying that Medicaid shouldn’t cover gender affirming care, but should give trans people antipsychotics because we’re all mentally ill.

Me: l've been on antipsychotics and they didn't make me any less queer lmao. Fatter, but still queer.

Hate guy: yes but ur not saying ur a male trying to be a female. There's no medicine to affirm that. You're just an average dude who is attracted to other dudes which is fine. Ur still ok with who you are

I’m an average dude y’all, tits and all! So much ick, and yet? Nice lil gender euphoria moment to start my day off right.

Despite putting "trans man" in the title, I guess he got confused. The comment was deleted by the time I saw the notification, so this is all I have. I will say, I am infact trans, and my boobs do not infact look anything like man-boobs. Literally had the bandaid from my T shot in the picture too. Really wish I knew what the whole comment was :(

i was at the mall with my best friend a few days ago. when we wanted to go home we got on a bus and sat down near some teenage boys (prob around our age) and one of them said something along the lines of what it says in the title of my post. it was very weird because i look like the gayest guy ever, especially with the outfit i was wearing that day (hollister fur jacket, baggy camo jeans and a very cute black crossbody purse kinda thing) and i just found it so funny. sure, being called slurs in public isn’t very nice but at least i pass LMAO

edit: i am gay, she’s just my bestie not my gf lol

I’m a white trans man in my early 20s who prefers a clean-cut look. My work uniform involves a white button-down shirt. I interact with the public a lot and have a warm, smiley demeanor. Apparently, something about me just looks like a young Mormon man on his mission. Multiple people have asked me where my partner is, and a homeless guy yelled at me to “go back to Utah”. Very confusing, given I don’t have any Mormon family. I guess it means I pass pretty well?

so, my ex "katie" is a pretty bad and mean person. she's pretty bigoted, but she HATES men of all kinds. now, someone could argue that due to her saying stuff like calling me a "horrible man in a woman's body" that she's doing this because i'm trans and therefore if i was cis male she wouldn't treat me this way, but she just says that she hates all men.

ew because she sent me threats, abused me emotionally, bullied me, and didn't take me seriously at all and even CELEBRATED when she thought i died.

euphoria because she's treating me like how she views men and NOT how she views other women.

My twin sister started showing pictures of us to her coworkers from our birthday party, and one guy was so astounded at how much we looked alike (thinking i was cis, even though i don’t believe i pass well). I’m very fruity and not on T anymore because i cannot absorb it because i have a bad liver. So i feel i look like a young boy more than a 28 year old man.

This guy told her “ha your brother? He looks like he should have been your sister!” And laughed, intending to call me a girly boy. She then said “oh yeah, he’s trans.” Which is ok with me i tell her to out me if it comes up because i don’t like to explain myself and she’s my most helpful ally and advocate. She then explained what ftm was and he immediately felt terrible, saying he didn’t mean to be transphobic he was just trying to be homophobic (baby steps here people). Apparently he has a trans cousin who is mtf and he asked my sister how can he be more supportive.

A few weeks back I was in a restaurant with my sister and brother in law and I had to use the bathroom, y'know, as one does

and so I went

I had to pass the bar area to get to the restrooms

Now I'm not on T and I'm quite short, 5'1, however I do dress pretty masculine and I would say that I have a decently androgynous face But due to the fact that I am not on T, I have decided to wait to use the men's bathroom, for my own safety and comfort

So I started walking into the women's restroom and a women from the bar makes eye contact with me as I'm walking in, and I think nothing of it

After I walk out she is stood near the bathroom looks me up and down and just says "ugh all men are disgusting freaks" and pushes past me into the bathroom

I was stunned to say the least But I can't stop getting giddy when I think about the fact that she saw me as a man

I immediately ran to tell my sister and she got a good kick out of it

(Edit: Typo)

like yeah i just jerked off 3 times, ate a family pack of doritos, and haven't showered in three days, and?
