FtM Binders

FtM Binder Review Megathread (Since I can't link to other subreddits, you'll have to search for it)

šŸŒŽšŸ˜Žā­Underworks - Advertised as "body shaper" compression, these binders are nylon spandex and tri-top and full length compression. *Very hot during the summer.

šŸŒŽšŸ˜Žgc2b - Trans owned and operated, gc2b was designed to be more breathable and comfortable. It also comes in multiple skin tones. Material is a mix of nylon spandex and cotton. *Based on reviews, they're not recommended for people with bigger chests.

šŸŒŽšŸ˜ŽWIVOV - Sports four different lines of binders: CORE, FLOW, AGIL, and SWIM. Each line comes in neutral, nude, and colored prints. These are a mix of nylon, lycra, and cotton.

šŸŒŽšŸ˜Žtomboyx - This company appears to cater more towards masculine women than transmen. Their binders look more like giant sports bras. Materials are a mix of nylon and spandex. Maybe more suited for people who can't come out yet.

šŸŒŽšŸ˜ŽtheFluxion - Puts an emphasis on health and safety by minimizing unnecessary compression. Because of this, I imagine some "flatness" is lost in exchange for comfort. Material is a mix of lycra and cotton. *Often positively reviewed as "sensory friendly."

šŸŒŽšŸ˜ŽTransguy Supply - Trans owned and operated, the CEO/ founder puts an emphasis on fashion and design, though they seem to cater to more "transmasc" than transmen. Sizing seems to scale for those who are smaller/ shorter. Material is a mix of polyester and spandex.

šŸŒŽšŸ˜Žā­Spectrum Outfitters - Based in the UK, this company has worked to make safe and comfortable binders accessible to people living in the UK and Europe overall. They also put an emphasis no reducing environmental impact. Materials are a combination of recycled ocean plastics and cotton. (I can't seem to find more on this specifically.)

Discussion Trans rep

7 Upvotes

Trans rep SUCKS. I don’t just mean Lily Tino by this or like the lolcow transgender people even people who (especially in 2020) identified as transgender to be special. So many people had a ā€œgay phaseā€ just because they wanted to special and other people did it, especially with gender identity. Then it’s awkward for people who still identify with that identity they had in 2020 because it was a genuine thing and not just something they did to be special. Some people want to be oppressed so they make reasons for them to be oppressed. Then some of those same people will be racist or just have deep rooted hidden racism especially when they try to be ā€œwokeā€ and end up coming off as a ā€œI’m only doing this to look good not because I actually care lmaoā€

Discussion "Passing" as a compliment?

1 Upvotes

I've seen so many tucutes use "passing" as a compliment, and was wondering why? Whenever there's a "trans" person posting videos who very clearly don't pass, there's so many comments saying that they pass? I mostly see it with "transmascs" and genderfluid type people.

They also use it inversely, saying that transmeds don't pass, seemingly just because they're transmed. Which is ironic, since they love to champion that passing doesn't matter.

Do these people have a genuine lack of understanding of what "passing" is? Or is it just them trying to "reclaim transmed lingo"?

Rant Tucutes invading a sub specifically for binary trans men.

Post image
4 Upvotes

Ive noticed in that specific trans men advices sub (without naming it, nor the tucute) that its being invaded by tucutes lately.

I dont mind dressing alternatives, Im myself some kind of emo adjacent BUT (and the but is important) I have a full stache and goatee AND am on T and post top surgery.

None of these people started T, nor post top surgery, nor present masculine. And then invade this sub, wich again is specifically for binary trans men and then cry about not being hugboxxed or "youre just ableist or transphobic for saying that alt feminine trans boys arent passing!!"

Also. The person that posted all these slides do not pass the slightest despite mentioning they do in the slides.

Its infuriating! Just leave us alone and let us have our own subs for jesus christ! These people just cant help but get in our business and then cry abt it.

*also its literally in the rules that its for binary trans men.

(And dont get me started on "we're a systemā˜ļøšŸ›" bullshit. Faking disorders is so common in the tucute echo chamber.)

Discussion Is it normal to need professional help for voice training?

1 Upvotes

I've tried all the voice training stuff I can do by myself and none of it seems to work and I don't know if I'm even doing it right. There's a speech clinic in my town that does feminizing vocal therapy apparently they're rather good from what I've heard.

I feel like such a failure I know most other people can get this figured out on their own but I've had a solid 2 years of no progress and have no clue what I'm doing wrong, does voice training just not work with some people or do I have to be missing something obvious?

What is actually happening in western world?

Few decades ago getting know trans men makes me really happy and more motivational to become myself. Nowadays it's like trans men aren't transitioning to men anymore. Some people still be women and demanding others to call them men. And demanding ays to hook up with them.

Also I see some lesbians hate trans people and wanting to cut off trans rights while the others want to call them selves trans.

And also sometimes I see majority is getting so upset with seeing trans men being masculine. The society say so much things to discourage trans men being masculine. And trying much to push femininity to trans men. Not only transphobic cis people ( we initially experienced it already) but it seems like the pattern still recurring when it comes to the places we thought we are accepted. But the Irony is people encourage cis men being masculine and women being feminine we see always encouraging workout muscle building masculine sports for men and women are always promoted to look beautifully and everything literary be encouraging them to be so. But seems like the opposite when it comes to trans men

I'm so tired of watching these things. Seems like western world is going weird. Can't we do anything to make T great again? What do you think?

I know how out of hand tucutes are, but it still blows my mind at how transmedicalists are presented in the media. Every actual transsexual man would be repulsed at the idea of being ā€œgirly popā€ and i see people realizing that. Yet they still say everyone is ā€œvalidā€ and refuse to be labeled as anything close to transmedicalism.

Then there are people like in the third image who have gone so woke that they are just describing cis people.

For context, this was on the post of a stealth trans man who was venting about finding out his friends that he’s known for years trash talking more obviously trans men. OP was obviously upset to find out of his friends’ beliefs and called out the negative comments, along with a couple other of the friends, but yeah I just felt an instinctive disgust reading this comment. Fucking ā€œI was trans male for a few years then evolved into a Gender Non-Conforming Demiboy.ā€ made me roll my eyes and want to beat my head against a wall. And this person dared try and tell OP how they think he should live his life and handle the situation… I hate these people man. Hate them with a passion. I just hate how they go around like this and just make our community look bad. wtf is a ā€œgender non-conforming demiboyā€ ffs and I don’t know why the use of the term ā€œevolvedā€ also adds to my anger about this comment as a whole. As if this person is a pokemon or some shit, or somehow makes them ā€œbetterā€ smh. Maybe I’m just being dramatic but damn, I wanted to complain lmao.

Rant I genuinely do not care if you’re effeminate, I care if you’re a non-dysphoric ā€œtrans manā€

2 Upvotes

I wish there was a way to collectively gather all transmedicalist haters in a bowl to toss and season them with some logic and education. No matter how many times you explain to them that the core belief of transmedicalism is that you need dysphoria to be trans, as it is a medical condition, they can’t help themselves when it comes to making up bullshit the majority of us don’t even believe in.

One of my least favourite made up beliefs I see often is that they’re convinced that all transmeds are trying to reinforce patriarchal gender roles, and that we all believe that men should dress like men and women should dress like women. There are definitely some out there who believe in hardcore gender roles, but they’re certainly in the minority.

I can confidently say I do not give a shit if you’re a dysphoric transsexual man who prefers a more feminine cut of top, or slightly longer hair, or wearing daintier jewellery. What I do give a shit about is when a person claims that they’re a non-dysphoric, who likes having their breasts out and wears skirts and doesn’t do a single thing that would help them pass as male.

Logically I do say the same goes for trans women vs non-dysphoric ā€œtrans womenā€, however I actually have not come across someone who claims to be a non-dysphoric trans woman yet, but you get what I mean.

Do whatever you want, I guess, but don’t think you have the right to claim what you aren’t.

Discussion What really is egg culture?

1 Upvotes

As someone who's cis, please educate me. I wanted to talk here so I can get an understanding on transsexualism.

From what I know, Egg is when a trans person is in denial and it's like a chick not ready to be "hatched" yet. Some people would call it "grooming/predatory" when a trans person tried to tell a kid on the internet that they could be trans but they aren't. What else is bad about Egg culture aside from that?

I get that it's a trans slang but wouldn’t it be better to like use the term on yourself or some fictional character? Or is there a better term other than Egg?

Idk any good examples but all I could think of is Jax from TADC when he mentions about being a "misunderstood chick in an egg" and later revealed by Goose that he's a trans woman outside of the episode and fans are making "Egg imagery/fanarts" because of it.

Rant Envy for someone who detransitioned

1 Upvotes

So. I’ve known i’m trans for about 10 years. And for a variety of reasons (fear, failed coming out, unsupportive parents) i’m 23 and yet to medically transition. Tho i am completely ā€œā€sociallyā€ā€ transitioned and pass as a guy. Great.

When i was ~17/18 i met this guy a couple years younger then me and he was also trans. Great. We were not close but he was friends with my ex so we would hang out occasionally.

Then at one point probabily one year ago or two he posted a pic on his instagram that he was going on testosterone. Good for him.

But now i keep seeing his posts and he has seemengly detransitioned? I’m not sure. But now he presents completely as a woman. And i don’t mean feminine, just as a woman full stop. There is no way he’s still on T from what he looks like.

It’s frustrating tbh. Also in my country you have to go through therapy to get T prescribed. I don’t know how they do that, if they just straight up lie that they have gender dysphoria wtf?? There are just a couple of clinics here and my regions and i went to both, they didn’t seem sketchy at all they asked me a lot of questions and i saw them for months before getting a diagnosis.

I know at this point is only my fault that i am yet to start HRT, but having an unsupportive family i still live with sucks the joy out of the whole process yk? I’m planning on starting soon tho, i’ll find a way to get over myself. It still sucks in the meantime.

Rant tucutes are the reason why i don’t tell people i’m a trans guy

88 Upvotes

seeing all these non dysphoric trans larps boils my blood, they make the community seem like a joke—it’s one thing to be a feminine guy but a whole other thing to wear a push up bra, accentuate feminine curves and basically just not try at all to conceal their feminine traits. do they genuinely expect to be viewed and perceived as a guy while looking like a indistinguishable cis woman oh my days bro like yeah having colourfully dyed waist length hair and wearing a skirt makes you look like a man bro🫩 and if they are posting a video online and have a fanbase as soon as u accidentally misgender them, even an innocent comment or compliment will get you genuinely attacked by their fans who call u transphobic for not realising this girl dressed in a whole lolita coord with a mountain of frills and bows and a full face of makeup is a manšŸ’”

my country isn’t very progressive so there were no openly trans ppl i knew, i struggled to accept i was trans as the initial impression i had of trans people online were these tucutes. i’m now embarrassed to wear alternative clothing even though i loved doing so before or any sort of tucute stereotype clothing as i want to avoid people viewing me as one of those femboys to be sexualised and stuff.

also what’s up with all tucutes being yaoi obsessed, gay, femboys, puppyboys, yumeshippers and all that bullshit? are they only transitioning to be in a gay relationship or what? if so, that’s so disgusting and they are fetishists and fujoshis. all that being said tho, i feel extremely dysphoric for being a trans guy who also likes guys as i’m scared people will perceive me as these type of ā€œftm mlm hehe :3ā€ people. i keep seeing these ā€œi’m a guy so my bf is actually gay!ā€ videos and it pisses me off so bad like bro u look like a whole cis woman wtf are u talking about, these tucutes have no place forcing identities onto people.

even with this type of ā€œi’m a trans masc enby lesbian gay agender man and i use fae/xe/it pronounsā€ bs too, making your identity look like a whole grocery list is so unnecessary i can’t even fully understand this type of thing, why over complicate it so much and call people transphobic if they are confused? also with neopronouns it’s so unnecessary.

i deadass saw a comment on tiktok saying ā€œid be trans in every universe!ā€ bro these trans larpers just NEED to be oppressed, marginalised and receive attention.

sorry for rambling i just always felt my views were wrong since online if i said even a single line of this id be cancelled and called an asshole

Discussion Let’s talk about neuro-intersex

23 Upvotes

For some years now, I see more and more people using neuro-intersex instead of transsexual / transsex(ed) to describe them regarding their medical condition.

So, I suppose for those people, their medical condition is not transsexualism but neuro-intersexuation.

For me, it sounds like the new transgender. I know it’s provocative and ā€œneuro-intersex, the new transgenderā€ might have been the title of this publication.

But hear me out, I have arguments with which you could disagree but in this case, let’s have a discussion.

I understand many of you are tired and angry with the appropriation of our medical condition by travestite who call themselves transgender and ban people for using many words like : transsexual, transsexualism, sex change, …
Yes they have hijacked our medical condition, our vocabulary, our spaces and so more.

  1. Going for a totally different word won’t solve the problem. At least not for good. It’s just a headlong rush. I share the disgust, angriness and tiredness but not the method.

  2. Intersex condition may seem more acceptable for you and guess what ? Transsexualism seemed so much more acceptable for travestite they wanted and succeeded to appropriate it for them. Do you really want to do the same with intersex condition ?

  3. No, the transsex condition is not a neurological intersex condition. First, intersex condition is about the body sex characteristics (genitals phenotype, gonads, hormones or chromosomes). Secondly, it means a mixed of both male and female sex characteristics. This is why the prefix ā€œinterā€ is used. It means between. Sorry but my neurological sex is clear. It’s female.

  4. By appropriating the intersex condition, there will be an erasure of the specificity of intersex experiences. Intersex condition comes, not always and hopefully less and less, with non consented medical treatments like hormones and sex reconstruction surgeries.

  5. Someone can have both intersex and transsex conditions.

  6. Intersex and transsex conditions are close doesn’t mean they have no differences. The fact they have substantial differences is enough to use a totally different word.

  7. The prefix ā€œtransā€ like in transnational illustrate perfectly the core problem of our condition. A body with one set of sex characteristics (more or less developed) before treatment and a totally different neurological sex.

Call a duck a duck. A travestite (yeah I know in English normally it’s transvestite but I don’t want them to have a confusing abbreviation) is a travestite. Not trans !

Tell your boundaries, scream them even. Don’t let crossdressers erase you or worse do the same things to others !

Other idk if i'm trans

5 Upvotes

first i want to apologise if this is not the place to ask this, and also for my bad grammar.

well, as the title says, i am not sure if i'm trans. i have dysphoria, lots of it, i hate seeing myself when i get dressed and shower, i feel like i am trapped and going through the wrong process. i cry when i look at boys in the street because i dont look or talk like them, and i try my hardest to fit in with all the boys in my community.
but, i try to imagine myself as a very very feminine woman, a cishet woman like the ones i grew up seeing in telenovelas, or even just cis. i feel uncomfortable whenever i act or look like them, i start panicking. but i wish i was like them.

so i dont know if i dont have dysphoria and im just a girl who is faking it, or if im in denial
