    I've been thinking about trans men a lot recently, for years most of the online spaces I've been in have been almost entirely trans women but not too long ago I stumbled into some places with a lot more trans masc people. It opened my eyes a lot hearing what they had to say and seeing the shit they get from inside the queer community. It's embarrassing but literally every single trans friend I have is trans fem or NB, I don't actually personally know any trans guys. I'd like to change that but the problem is that where I've been finding more trans men has been in primarily nsfw spaces so it'd feel weird reaching out and DMing someone there and I wouldn't want to come off as like I'm hitting on or being creepy/chasery to anyone so idk what to do. Plus trans men have so few communities as is I wouldn't want to be invading

      There's tons of trans men on tumblr. Since hexbear budded off from reddit and reddit mostly has dudes it isn't that surprising that most of us are MTF. I know a couple trans guys irl! They're both super cool.

      It is sad that trans men get such shit, when they start passing they don't feel as welcome either passively or overtly in LGBT spaces which is a total bummer. It's part of why male lesbian is a thing for the straight trans men.

      I know the trans men I know from trans support groups or from connections related to people from support groups. Meeting up in an irl trans or LGBT support group is probably the best way to connect with some cool guys!
