Hey,

I'm Spencer and I'm a 22 year old FTM guy from Australia.

Joined this site to hopefully have a chat to some people in the same or similar situations and help others through thier life journey.

A little background info:

I've had chest surgery and I've been on T for four years, am having hysto soon and lower surgery is a distant thought as far as finances and satisfaction goes.

I've a wonderful fiance who has a Son, and we share parental responsibility. They're why I wake in the morning.

Would maybe like to chat to some guys about lower surgery options in the distant future, and general dysphoria issues etc.

Hope to have some good times here,

Spence.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

The guys will be here in force although some have already arrived. There is a lot of diversity here - and I see you are pretty far along in yoiur transition - it will be great to have you here because of your experience, but look around at everyone - we have a lot of fun. We also have a lot of people in crisis sometimes - it doesn't matter if you are MTF or FTM - it is a wonder how we help bring people away from the edge of self distruction.

So glad to meet ya! Evan is our really senior bad boy - so watch out - he has a sense of ha-ha that would make a desert look like a tropical forest! Grin!

And don't miss out on our moderators - we have several FTM and they are simply awesome!

welcome to the playground,

i'm not sure what good topics we have on lower surgeries, but i think there was one good one in the surgery forum that i read....

anyway...if you look around the guys room, i'm sure some of us can give you some advice, and we're always willing to hear about someone else's journey.

see you around.

peace&love

It is always nice to have another man around!

I'm a newbie too, but this place is really friendly and it doesn't take long at all to fit right in. It can be as comfortable and homey as you want it to be, and it doesn't matter what time of day you want to chat, there are ALWAYS people here to respond.

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Susan R · Posted

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      Transfeminine singing voice

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      Trans Woman Murdered In Washington State

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      What's for dinner?

      By KayC · Posted

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.

      Are you left or right handed?

      Right handed, but my left eye is dominant.   However left eye has cataract, So I've learned to hold my cup left-handed so I can see while drinking.
