Over 10 years ago I stumbled across something that gave me a face to the diversity of trans men. Kael T Block's photography. I felt I identified and it allowed me to feel more comfortable with my own identity. Thank you brother.

Whatever you’re going through, LET IT GO!

Don’t create problems for yourself in a pointless effort to teach others.

pssssttttt you should block himmmmmm hes prolly only gna fuck with your mental health and your nice anf you do t deserve rhat

xxboi man id ont rember what im supposed to be shdndn

i'll hold off on actually blocking him for now (considering i haven't yet and now he's actually being. a respectable person) but if i get to the point where i'm considering it i'll definitely ask people to tell me to block him bc i dunno if i can do it by myself dshfbs

you should probably get some sleep or something, i'm not sure the safest course of action when high

Thanks for spreading the word about my research!! If you or your followers want to see what comes of it, check out my transpsychology tumblr or my fb page: BarrTransResearch. I'll update those when I analyze results. It's really important to me that participants can actually see what they contributed to.

I will post this so my followers can see :)

Being visible for me personally is more important now than ever. When coming out I got a lot of my strength and motivation to be my authentic self from watching some amazing Instagram and YouTube trans men. I thank @gorillashrimp , @skylarkergil , @viktorbelmont , @rufioandpack and @jessediamondfitness for their continuous braveness and visibility. I felt this closeness to you guys even though I didn't know you. I hope to do the same for my trans brothers, sisters and everyone in between. To form a brotherhood and/or bond to keep ya'll achieving your goals and dreams! I love ya'll, they cannot stop us! . . . . #TDOV2017 #trans #transgender #ftm #mtf #transman #transguy #guysliksus #girlslikeus #transisbeautiful #nonbinary #endgenderroles #selfmade #livelife #lovelife #loveyourself #bodypositivity #transandshirtless #transandinked #topsurgery #postop #xxboys #visibility #awareness #LGBTQ

"You're so out of shape." "You have so much potential; it's a pity you're just wasting it." ----things my father told me, growing up, coupled with forced workouts. 🔹🔹🔹 My relationship with fitness is a complicated one. Due to associating a lot of trauma with it, I have despised exercise for most of my life. ______ It wasn't until transition that I started exploring fitness options that I enjoyed vs. ones that I had grown up being forced to participate in. 🏋🏽🚶🏽💪🏽 This is a process; I still have a ton of self-confidence issues when it comes to working out. I actually am mostly unable to go to public gyms, due to anxiety. However, every time I work out, about halfway through what I'm doing, my mood improves. I feel more connected with my body, with the movements, with the rhythm, & with the fact that I am CHOOSING this. Slowly, it's helped me to develop a more positive perspective. I'm still working on things; I'm nowhere near as positive-minded in relation to fitness as I would like to be. However, many folks in this community have helped me. A LOT. ______ It's important to know that others are, more often than not, here to help you & support you....not compete with you, or beat you down. I'm glad for the friends I have made, and the improved mind-body connection I am developing. I hope, as I continue down this path, I am finally able to relax and have fun. 🐾💕👌🏽

Acho que gosto dessa foto apenas porque me traz toda a minha história e onde cheguei até agora.

Eu sou muito mais feliz do que sonhei.

Sçao agora 35 meses em t, bem perto dos tão esperados 3 anos. Sinto meu corpo cada vez mais e mais confortável [e bom e gostoso e legal]

Queria dizer muito obrigado a todos que deixam mensagens de carinho e gratidão. Eu não poderia resumir o quanto significa pra mim o apoio de vocês e como me sinto feliz por compartilhar experiências e sentimentos com vocês.

i created my tumblr account in september of 2008 when i was fourteen years old and i’ve been using it off and on for nearly a decade since that first log-in. 

tumblr had just been publically launched the year prior and was a new website with the idea of microblogging, like twitter, with a twist and it has expanded since then to hipster aesthetics, fandom, social activism, politics, and yes, the lgbtq+ community. 

as a baby gay who had just come out to myself in the summer of 2008 and who lived in a conservative southern town and state i found solace, understanding, and hope by venturing around tumblr. there were queer people everywhere and no, it was not all or even a sizable fraction about inappropriate sex or pornography. it was a community. 

it was not until a year and a few months later that i discovered @xxboy‘s blog and realized that i was a trans man. i was immediately linked to the trans community and found many useful resources, tips, guides, inspiration, and hope from friends and community members who opened me with open arms. 

i was fifteen years old and i don’t think i would’ve made it much longer with my rampant depression, dysphoria with my body, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and lack of a tunnel light pushing me closer and closer to leaving the world behind without the love and support i gained from tumblr. in those days i didn’t ever see myself getting to age twenty --- those next five years felt too distant and undefined for anything good to come from them. 

well, i’m twenty-three years old now. i’ve been on hormones for nearly five years now. i’ve had my name legally changed for awhile. i have a wonderful girlfriend who i hope to make my wife in the not-too-distant future and my life is miles and miles ahead of where i ever even thought it could be. hell, i even graduated from an actual college with a degree that i wanted. 

all of that is, at least partially, owed in part to tumblr and its ability to expose me to identities and experiences that i would have taken a long time to come across otherwise, if i came across them at all. 

so, it comes as a disappointment to me, @staff, that you would automatically and randomly censor lgbtq+ related posts from young teenagers that are on this website. after all, if you might recall lgbtq+ does not immediately regulate itself to “sexual content only” or “always inappropriate, never a potential learning experience that could change a young person’s life” content.

not to mention, so many of the censored posts are not representative of anything inappropriate that it makes me wonder how broad of a brush these tags, terms, and ideas are being stroked. 

young adults, teenagers, and even older children need access to lgbtq+ information and community now more than ever if the current sign of political movement is anything to go by (and believe me, it definitely is). 

I ask for tumblr staff to really considering their motivation behind this new “feature” on tumblr and not see if there is a better solution, or as i would have it, no solution needed as it’s not a problem that exists.
