[SCENE: driving back from my appointment]

dad: ...am I going to have to teach you how to shave?

me: uh yeah! at some point, lol

dad: hm. well I can show you the way I prefer, with mug soap and a brush, because the aerosol cans are just no. I showed your brother my way and he likes it a lot better too...

dad: [rambles for a bit]

dad: ...it's really just another chore, you look in the mirror and go 'ugh I have to shave soon' so it's just one of those things you do every once in a while

me, externally: haha yeah, I can't wait :]

me, internally: he's talking about this like it's no big deal, it's not weird at all,,, he doesn't mind the idea of teaching me despite the fact that he never expected to be doing this with me,,,, he's my dad and he supports me even if he doesn't completely get it,,,

i never see art with positive and whimsical depictions of trans men post bottom surgery so i did it myself 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[intersexfairy]

"T makes you a mansplainer" so true! i never shut up about how much i love men and being a man. like have you seen men? especially trans and intersex men? they're literally the meaning of life. some of the most beautiful beings on this planet. i could listen to them talk forever. what? you meant to insult me? oh well haha that sounds like a you problem. anyway i love testosterone. poison? more like self love potion. i love me.

[unionize-aromantically]

a word of positivity for my fellow men (and nonbinary ftnbs) who want bottom surgery

you don't have to live with bottom dysphoria all your life. go get that surgery. post-op dick is so cool. don't feel like you aren't allowed to get it, it's your body.

some media recommendations

I haven't read it myself, but I saw this recommended here: Hung Jury by Trystan T. Cotten. It’s a collection of testimonials from FtMs who have had bottom surgery, including their reasons, details about some of their procedures, and individual satisfaction ratings, and it includes testimonials from several trans men of color!

on Tumblr I know the user virgo-cocks posts about their bottom surgery.

on YouTube I know Jammidoger posts about his bottom surgery (and other trans stuff)

subreddits: r/EverythingPhallo and r/ftm_phallo

if anyone has any other recommendations please add on

(not verified by me), suggestions:

@ Answersfromtheshadows, dedicated to answering questions about their phallo

FinnThelnfinncible (Finlaygames) has a series of videos about his experience with phallo over the years

edit 2: another suggestion

finlay games wrote a book about his experience getting phallo titled "top to bottom"

edit 3:

r/Metoidioplasty is another great subreddit about bottom surgery!

edit 4:

tumblr user nyo-hoho is also post-op and accepting questions

edit 5:

r/phallo is apparently back up!

edit 6:

I just remembered phallo dot net and metoidioplasty dot net exist

"yeah I get it your trans, why do you have to make it your whole personality ??"

because i finally accepted who i am and had the courage to come out so yes i am gonna make it my whole personality, suck it.

Being a trans guy is mastering the DIY haircut

For other transmascs who have long hair:

Do y'all also think of it as a lions mane? Or am I just weird? Not sure where I got it from actually, but I just kinda vibe with it
