This is a pretty specific question but I figure maybe other trans guys have experienced this so if anyone could give advice, I'd appreciate it. I've been shaving my legs for the past 7 years. I only just started letting the hair grow out a few weeks ago. Since I've been shaving it for so long, it's prickly and feels bad to touch. I thought maybe it would be okay once it grew out all the way but it isn't. I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to make it softer?

I agree with you. Unfortunately people forget that transmisogyny is different from transphobia as a whole. Both are serious problems, but it's really, really important to know that when someone is talking about transmisogyny specifically, that isn't a time to say "but!!! trans men suffer too!!!" We (trans guys) definitely have every right to express our concerns about the transphobia we face, but not when someone is talking about transmisogyny. That's taking the focus away and it's not okay.

I just want to say I'm impressed that you're sticking up for trans women and you're in the right here. I'm sorry people have misinterpreted the post to say that trans men don't experience transphobia from TERFs. You've made it very clear that you know that isn't the case, but you're mature enough to recognize that trans women experience it more than trans men. As trans guys we have to support our trans sisters and not derail the issues they face to talk about ourselves. You're doing great 👍

do you have any links to resources for parents? I came out to mine and they weren't accepting at all. They don't believe me and don't understand what it's like to be trans and refuse to listen to me. I'd like to send them things that they can read through on their own, so they aren't just hearing everything from me

for the guy asking about tips for wearing a binder, I made a post about safety tips because people so often bind dangerously and get hurt so if you want to reblog this or just copy the link into the ask so guys can click on it and go to the post, go for it alexkingdom*tumblr*com/post/146871175584/important-safety-tips-for-anyone-using-a-binder-or

I associate you with kindness, cuteness, and dance moms
