The Trans Guy Archive is a collaborative historical archive documenting transmasculine history and culture! Trans Guy Archive FOR ALL THE SELF-MADE MEN. Welcome, dudes! Welcome to the Trans Guy Archive! This is a collaborative archive for all the self-made men in the LGBTQ+ community. We strive to make transmasculine history and culture freely and readily available. In the fight for trans* justice and liberation, trans men/mascs have been largely ignored, both in society at large and within the LGBTQ+ community. Trans history largely skews in favor of trans women/femmes -- for better or for worse -- leaving many along the masculine spectrum feeling lost and alienated, even in their own community. This archive aims to serve as an informational and social space for all to learn about the beauty, vitality, and strength of trans men/masculine figures throughout the centuries. This is for all transsexual and transgender men, demiboys, butches, those who are "kinda guys", lesboys, transmascs, multigender, and anyone who falls along the masculine spectrum. "[M]y work is not solely devoted to chronicling the past, but is a component of my organizing to help shape the future.” - Leslie Feinberg, from Transgender Warriors This site is best viewed on a computer. You may encounter visual glitches on mobile. FAQs General Trans related Why was this archive made? As a historian currently pursuing my Masters degree in History and a transsexual man myself, I often found it really frustrating at the lack of trans guys to relate to in queer studies. Much of queer studies revolves around cis gay men and trans women, and while this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can create a lot of disconnect. Over the years, I've come across bits and snippets of articles, newspaper clippings, photos, and other sources detailing the rich lives of trans men/masc people, and I wanted to share my findings with the rest of the world. Similarly, pages like the Event calendar may inspire people browsing this site to go out and meet more friends (and lovers) like themselves. I sincerely hope this site can help somebody. What can I send into the transguyarchive? If you are a trans guy (or are uploading on behalf of someone who is), you can send in... photos of yourself (if you are a trans guy) photos of trans events you went to (everyone in the photo must consent to being uploaded) places and spaces safe for our community resources surrounding HRT, surgeries, updating legal paperwork, etc. transmasculine historical figures you've found (newspaper clippings, interviews, articles, etc.) your own testimonies (section TBD) upcoming events safe for our community important trans male/masculine artists/content creators queer/trans theory sources, articles, essays, etc. If you're looking to submit writing and/or photographs, head to "THE ARCHIVE" section and fill out our submission form. If you're looking to submit anything else, head to the Contact page. Why are you using Wix to host the archive? To be transparent, it is mainly because other website builders are really terrible and complicated to use. I've tested out quite a few others (Squarespace, GoDaddy, neocities, etc.) but they're all either expensive and/or require coding skills that I simply do not have nor am willing to learn at this point in time. I used Wix to create my own personal art website, so I was already familiar with the interface. There definitely have been some struggles, but for now (until I can hire someone to remake this site perhaps in Java or HTML) I make do with what's available. Does the Trans Guy Archive host events? As of now (March '26) not very frequently. We had a collaboration with the Trans Visibility Club of NYC in January but this is currently a one-man-operation. I'd love to hold events in the future but for now there's already a LOT on my plate. Is this place a digital equivalent of a children's treehouse with a "NO GIRLZ ALLOWED" sign? No, obviously not lol. Throughout history there have been many male-only clubs and groups that have excluded women on a sexist basis, and understandably there may be some apprehension seeing a website like this. Women and other genders are absolutely welcome to explore the archive and contribute the works of their comrades, friends, and lovers! Trans women/femmes absolutely deserve their own archive, and as a transsexual man, I felt the most comfortable writing about my own people. Can I volunteer for the Trans Guy Archive? Yes! As this is a collaborative archive, I'm always looking for submissions and assistance from others in the transmasculine community! Check out this page for detailed information on how you can help grow the archive. Sign the guestbook! Name (optional) I'm visiting the TGA from... (country, city, etc.) Doodle us something?
