Hey folks, hoping to have a semi-permanent thread for compiling resources to make finding really cool posts easier. Please suggest links and info in the comments below. I consider this necessary because there's a lot of things we would like pinned but obviously things get very crowded quickly. This thread will start sparse and I will edit new things in as people suggest them.


Transgender Mutual Aid

These posts are done by a transgender mutual aid group looking to help people in unusual circumstances.

Trans Chemist Series

These posts are done by a Hexbear user that I have verified as legit, offering unique information about trans DIY hrt, including quality sources, sanitation, storage recommendations. Verified by very expensive industrial chemistry equipment.


DIY Electrolysis Series

There posts are also done by a Hexbear user that is making an open source DIY electrolysis setup.

  • https://www.transacademy.org/ - Trans Academy is a VRChat group that provides help/community for trans people. Among other things, they do free bi-weekly voice training seminars (in VRChat but also streamed on Discord and Twitch) and make-up tutorials (on Discord), and the classes include content for transmasc, enby, transfem peeps. VRChat is free and doesn't require VR (using the desktop or android app), but you can also participate in most of the class stuff through the Discord.

I kind of hate that I don't. I almost wish the site didn't also have decent information so it would be easier to dismiss.

I'm just sharing in the hopes that it might save some trans person from being thrust back in denial by this site like I was the first time I encountered it

Maybe try to get in contact with them to edit the problematic bits out? They seem amenable. Report back if successful

I cracked my egg a little over a month ago. Took four decades.

I read the Gender Dysphoria Bible from beginning to end pretty much. When I got to 15, my takeaway was the sense of joy I feel being femme and the despair I have felt my whole life trying to be masc, is gender euphoria/dysphoria. And that I should call the clinic and set up an appointment.

So, it helped me break through a lot of denial. And I do see how the part you mentioned could be problematic, especially if someone didn't read the document as thoroughly as I did. But I am immensely grateful that I came across it when I did.

I did find it useful the second time around, but I wasn't ready for it the first time when I couldn't even recognize those feelings as being gender-related at all. I was so close though... I could tell it was dysphoria :wail:
