• I am a trans boy, or just a boy in general. • I am sometimes a man and sometimes uncomfortable calling myself or being referred to as such. • I will accept "guy" as a pretty accurate descriptor. • I will sometimes accept "dudely" as an accurate descriptor, as well. • I'm primarily male. • I'm also primarily binary-identified. • I am never a woman. • I am never mostly or completely female. I am also not "female-bodied." • I dislike the terms "transgender" and "transsexual." • I am also not an "FtM." • If you must refer to the fact that I am not cis, I am "trans." Please note that it is also an adjective, not a prefix or noun. • My gender expression tends to waver between masculine and androgynous. I am never feminine. • My pronouns are currently he / him / his / himself. These are the only pronouns which are correct and acceptable for me. • I have a chest. Though it is sometimes slightly more complicated than that. • I have a c**k or d**k. • I ask that you don't nonconsensually call the area below my c**k anything, especially traditionally female or feminine terms. I will occasionally call it my "boycunt," but you do not get that privilege unless explicitly told so. • For that matter, why the ******** do you need to describe my naked body, anyway? • I like being penetrated, a lot of the time, especially when submissive. I still get uncomfortable with it sometimes, though, and it still does not make me female or a woman. • I also feel most strongly male and masculine when submissive, even when receptive to penetration. • For the record, I also like penetrating others, though it's really only when I'm Dominant or otherwise not submissive. • I do not plan to start HRT or get top surgery anytime soon, though they both remain future possibilities. • As of right now, I don't plan on getting bottom surgery at all. • Even if I never do any of these things, it will not change how I identify or expect others to see me. • Most of the time, I'm not very dysphoric. But when dysphoria does strike me, it hits like a semi truck. • I'm a hell of a lot more dysphoric about my bits than I am about my chest, most of the time. I am also very dysphoric about my voice. • But the rest of the time, I actually tend to like my body, as a general rule. This does not change how I identify, and it doesn't mean I don't still sometimes get utterly disgusted with it. • You may sometimes see me post self-doubting things on here. This does not mean my identity has changed. It means I'm struggling with the transphobia society keeps throwing at me, which I have internalized, to some degree. • My "real name" is Brynn. My birth name is none of your ******** business. • I am "real," "biological," "genetic," and "genuine." • I sometimes enjoy confusing the cis. • I also sometimes just want to fly under the radar and pass as cis, to avoid the bullshit. • Sometimes, I even like going along with heteronormativity and gender norms. • Basically, this means that my gender is not inherently a political statement, and it is not my responsibility to break down or challenge gender norms, even if I generally have no problem with doing so. • I consider lesbians and straight men who hit on trans men to be erasing their identities, and lesbians and straight men who hit on me will be met with a likely mixture of bewilderment and hostility. • You may not hear me talk about it very often, but I've experienced my fair share of abuse in my life, and continue to experience some level of abuse from some sources, and I bear the mental and emotional scars to prove it. But none of it made me trans. • None of the above has any bearing on the gender identities or expressions of others and applies only to my own. • You may also want to read this to learn more about my sexuality.
