Trans tips #4!
Reframing how you talk to/about yourself!
I talk to myself alot! Okay maybe not TO myself but I have a weird habit of narrating everything I am doing in my head to myself.
One thing I have to make a conscious effort to do is to use my preferred name in my head. Often I'll have my narration going on and I'll have to interrupt it to use my preferred name
Same goes for my Pronouns!
Example from today: "(Deadname) turned the ignition off, grabbing her keys and taking a deep breath before opening the door- no, wait, LI grabbed his keys, and reached for the handle of his door, ready to go to work..."
It's okay to make mistakes, and to have hiccups, it doesn't make you any less Trans!
Maybe I should stop taking to myself but I digress!!!
The other thing i do is i reword how I refer to myself, my body, my clothes, ect.
I started referring to my bras, which I use as binders, as harnesses. Idk why but this makes me feel much better about myself.
I don't own boxers as of right now as an obligatory Broke Collage Student BUT I stopped calling my undies Panties and call them Undies. I hated the word panties anyway so whatever! I also wear alot of loose horror t-shirts and cargo pants with docs (in case you wanna know how I dress for some reason!) So no renaming there!
Onto my body, right now I sit at a C cup, so no flat chest here, but I still call it my chest and my pecks, and I try to avoid saying Tits, Boobs, ect. They are my pecks and bitches be jealous of my big soft pecs!
Reframing how you refer to yourself can help a little bit with dysphoria! Remember that you got this and do what works for you, this is just what works for me!
trans men and transmascs do not deserve to be misgendered for any reason. don't let people do that you to. it's still transphobia no matter how much someone hates men. stop thinking about filming catty tiktoks and instagram reels and writing rude, exclusionist and violent text posts about how it's okay to misgender trans men to farm likes, engagement and comments on social media.
don't care if this rhetoric is popular right now. that doesn't make it right.
reblog this if you believe trans men are real men like this if you dont
In our house there are 4 light switches by the front door. All are in a line, together.
1 light switch turns on the light in the kichen
1 light switch turns on the light in the livingroom
1 light switch controls literally nothing, as far as we know it is not connected to anything
And 1 light switch will shut off power to the entire house, air conditioners, fridge/stove/microwave, wifi box, literally anything you thing might have some sort of electrical current to it will turn off and take a full minute to reboot
This sucks because WE (those who live in the house) know which switchs turn off the lights before we leave, but others will never know when they've just turned off our refrigerator...
(Also we have 2 fuse boxes. One outside the house that is not grounded and WILL electrocute you if you so much as brush against it, and one in mine and my fiancé bedroom)

Hehehe I’m a demiboy <3
I realize this may not be common knowledge so; If you are on injectable estradiol and/or you're on testosterone you can buy your own syringes and needles!!!!!!! It will likely be far cheaper than the syringes you're made to pay for at the pharmacy, and you can buy in bulk! I have saved SO much money.
Just make sure you've got the same sizes as were prescribed by your doctor, and you're getting needles that are intended for medical use, be sure to check reviews, vet online stores, all of that!
Happy transing your genders!
Trans tips #2!
To help with voice dismorphia, practice voice training!
I heard of voice training from a Trans woman on tiktok whom I only know as ellierellie. She brings up thr point that when people first transition, have can have a very unnatural and soft voice, almost like a stage voice.
Her tip is to project your voice to make it sound more natural! My favorite way to do this is to blast my music and sing in the deepest voice i can manage as loud as I can.
The volume of the music helps to cover the sound of your voice to make it more comfortable to talk louder. My favorite music to do this with is 70s/80s/90s rock! Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, ect. I also like to throw in some Hoizer, Arctic Monkeys, Cigarettes after Sex, and The Neighborhood!
I have my personal favorite songs for voice training, but I recommend avoiding songs where the singers voice pitches up or becomes whiney (i don't know how else to describe it, most sad music will have a cord or two where the singer cries out in a higher pitch voice)
I also recommend listening to music by singers of your preferred gender for this! I still enjoy my girly-pop early 2000s music but I often sing it in a mock-high pitched voice to make me feel better about my own voice...also, it's just fun!
You can look up good tutorials for voice training on YouTube! My method is just one of many, but it's the one that works best for me!
I hope 2025 is the year we finally stop tolerating exorsexism in the trans community
