If you’re feeling dysphoric try yelling at the women in your life

As a reminder for me and any of my trans brothers and siblings. Enjoy this lovely recipe for binder soup.

How To Wash Your Binder!

Hey everyone, just wanted to make this is show y’all how I wash my binder and as a reminder to wash your binder!

So first off, I like to wash my binders every third day (unless it was really hot that day or if I spilled something on it, then I wash it that day)

So first I fill the sink up with warm water and put my binders in the water. Then I like to let them just soak in the water for a few minutes!

So next I use a Landry cleaner and softener

I keep them in small tubs cause I don’t need the whole bottle.

Now I leave them to soak for a couple minutes

Now I’m using dove body wash to make it smell nice and feel a lot softer

Now I let that soak for a moment

After I scrub them I drain the warm water

And then rinse them off with cold water

If any of your water turns a weird color do not worry! It’s not because it dirty, it’s just the dye!

Then I squeeze them out the best I can by hand and then I leave them to hang like this for the night!

Hope this was helpful!?

happy men's day everyoneeeee

For any other trans people (or people who can’t shower some days for any other reason) here is my “if I take of these underwear/clothes I will literally have a meltdown” hygiene routine

1- wet hair completely with spray bottle: I have very curly hair so it’s easiest to style when wet. I wet my hair using a spray bottle and brush it out

2- style hair: once my hair is wet I like to put my product in. On days like this it’s not feasible for me to wash my hair so I go straight to styling

3- wash body: I use a two face cloth method. One with soap which is to clean any sweat producing areas (armpits, underboob, behind knees, etc.) then one with cold water to wipe off the soap and clean the rest of my body

4- deodorant: I already use deodorant at night and in the morning but when I don’t shower it’s extremely important. Try to find one that says like “72 hour protection” our “long lasting” for at night.

5- wash feet: I tend to walk bear foot as often as possible so my feet get pretty dirty so I like to wash them as well with soap

6- moisturizer: I use various moisturizers in order to help my skin and body after such rough treatment. Vaseline anywhere that was already dry before and lips, Nivea cream on hands (and my knees if they feel dry), a facial moisturizer on my face, hand lotion on any other part of my body that I feel needs it

7- dental hygiene: I have worked my dental hygiene into my routine with my showers so I do it after I’m done cleaning my body.

There's a few things you can do

1. Put it under a beanie or hoodie cover, jut out only some of the hair

2. Cut it yourself if you can, and you know it's safe to

3. Look at inspiration of men with ponytails and man buns to shift your dysphoria into euphoria, try men long hair hairstyles on youtube

hello!!! as a trans male i want some advice—

about a year ago my mom let me cut my hair to whatever length i wanted because i let her get me therapy or soemtjing and j got it to an awesome pixie cut!! but it’s grown out to my shoulders now and its givin me some major dysphoria and i’m too scared to convince my parents to get it cut again. and no, i haven’t come out to them. i’ve been giving them hints, though.

anyways, basically want i wanted to ask is should i cut it myself? or should i just like— suck it up??? putting it in ponytails doesn’t help with the dysphoria
