Top of page Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT, for short) is a method many trans guys undertake to alleviate gender dysphoria. Typically, HRT is comprised of taking synthetic testosterone (colloquially known as "T") in either injections or a topical gel. There are many effects that happen to the body when taking synthetic testosterone, though medical research about T is still in its infancy. There is no one or "correct" way to take T. The dosage and application method are entirely up to the individual and their care provider. Below is information consolidated from medical professionals and real trans guys on their experiences taking testosterone. No one at the Trans Guy Archive is a medical professional and nothing on this page should be interpreted as explicit medical advice. If you have serious medical questions, contact your doctor or care provider.

"Basic" information anyone interested in a FTM-style transition should know. Trans Resources; The Basics "The Basics" is a page for resources that the majority of trans guys will need at some point in their transition journey. Feel free to take whatever information you deem relevant to yourself. Remember - there is no one single way to transition! These resources are being constantly updated! If you have new information to contribute, please head to the Contact page and reach out! Most of these pages are works-in-progress! Fashion & Makeup Some say clothes make the man. In some cases, it's more literal. Learning how to dress is hard for anyone, regardless of gender -- so is learning how to make the face up to appear more masculine. Below are different ways to help build a more masculine look. Usually, clothes, makeup, hair, etc, are the first steps in every trans person's journey, so it's a good idea to start here. This page includes information/resources on binders, stand-to-pee devices, packers, and so on. Click here for more... Legal Paperwork Okay, you've overhauled your wardrobe and cut your hair. What's next? Many trans guys opt to have their name, gender marker, and birth certificate changed to more accurately represent their identity. Navigating legal paperwork can be a hassle and a half. Depending on where you live, it can be as easy as finding the right forms and attaching a couple stamps. If you have resources for your state/country, let us know! Click here for more... Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) While obviously not mandatory nor a "requirement", many trans guys take testosterone hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to physically align their body to their identity. There is no right or wrong way to take "T" (testosterone). Click here for more... Surgery For some, surgery is the last step in their transition. Others never pursue it. Surgery is an intimate decision that should always be given a heavy amount of consideration. Navigating the ups and downs of surgery can be scary for many people. A lot of misinformation about FTM (female-to-male) surgery exists on the internet, spread by TERFs and other bigots alike. It remains the duty of this page to alleviate those fears through education.

Profiles on transmasculine historical figures with proper research and citations. Trans Profiles This section is dedicated to documenting the many trans men/mascs throughout history. Everyone is sorted by the date they were born (i.e. Elliot Page, born in 1987, is in Modern, not Contemporary). Dates on this page are approximations. Important note: "Transgender/Transsexual" is a remarkably new term. Most of these people before the 20th century likely wouldn't have referred to themselves as Trans. In this archive, many times "trans" is used as a verb; idea courtesy of historian Jen Manion in their book Female Husbands . Regardless of whether or not these individuals identified as male or trans*, all of them are trans-ing gender to a masculine state. Antiquity (??? - 500 CE) Antiquity, part of the pre-modern world, encompasses the stretch of history typically up until the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century CE (Common Era). Includes Biblical and mythological history. Medieval (500 CE - 1450) Not quite all fantasy and valiant knights, what is commonly referred to as the Middle Ages (at least in Europe) overlooks notable events such as the Black Death, the Islamic Golden Age, and inventions such as the printing press. Early Modern (1500 - 1800) Following the Middle Ages, the Early Modern period saw the beginning of the Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, Enlightenment, and other notable events such as the Protestant Reformation and rise of global colonialism. Victorian (1800s) The reign of Queen Victoria in England, though this time period also saw the rise of the 'Wild West', harsher moral standards; as well as popular art forms, such as the Gothic movement and the birth of science fiction. Modern (1900s) The modern era saw two World Wars, unprecedented speeds toward technological improvement, and the rise of several civil rights movements. Also, art radically changed, as artists challenged the notion that art must be made realistically. Contemporary (2000 - now) Technically a subset of modern history. This period of history covers the history after World War II, including the Cold War, space race, civil rights movement, and more leading all the way up to the present day.

The Trans Guy Archive is a collaborative historical archive documenting transmasculine history and culture! Trans Guy Archive FOR ALL THE SELF-MADE MEN. (slogan subject to change) Welcome to the Trans Guy Archive! This is a collaborative history archive for one of the most forgotten groups in the LGBTQ+ community. 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. Trans guys have always been here, and we're not going anywhere. As historians, it's important to try and not retroactively apply modern-day labels to historical figures. Terms like "transgender " or even "transsexual " are remarkably new phrases in the vast scheme of history, and people have used a wide variety of phrases to try and define their existence. For people who lived before the coining of these terms, this archive uses "trans" as a verb, rather than a noun/adjective. Regardless of how an individual may have identified, they are still trans-ing (transitioning) their gender to a more masculine state. The identities explored on this archive will largely not fit neatly into modern-day expectations of identity and gender. Everyone is invited to keep an open mind. Furthermore, it is the goal of the Trans Guy Archive to present topics and theory that is oftentimes dense and hard to understand in an engaging and easier to understand context -- but without erasing the nuance present in topics by oversimplifying them. Too often, professional academics purposefully write in over-complicated ways that make higher education inaccessible to the average person who does not have an engaged background in historical subjects. By using a blend of formal and informal language throughout the archive, the TGA hopes to ease the fear of studying complex topics and provide the average person a casual look into the workings of historians. TLDR -- You have no excuse to say "I ain't reading all that" ;-) On top of the archive, this space also aims to act as a sort of "one stop shop" for trans guys around the country and world to find educational and academic content about themselves, written by people just like them. In the Event Calendar, you may find a party in your city to make friends; in the Trans Guy Glossary, you can learn the definition of that word you've been seeing everywhere, and so on. The primary focus of the TGA will continue to be a record of trans guy history, but given how difficult it is for trans guys to find community and information - even within the wider queer community - we thought it'd be a good idea to have a single, organized space for everything you wanted to know. Welcome, dudes! Note: TGA is still very new and there are still a lot of placeholder photos and text! Please allow us some time to spruce it up and update with more info and images! 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 Articles section and fill out our submission form. If you're looking to submit anything else, head to the Contact page. Why doesn't the site search function work for the Trans Profiles section? To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure. Wix gives users a maximum of 100 static pages, and given the scope of this site as an archive, that may not be enough for the profiles plus everything else. To rectify this, the Profiles section uses dynamic pages, a built-in program from Wix. Thankfully, this solves the page limit issue, but for some unknown reason, prevents each page from being searched by Wix. I genuinely don't have a solution to this. I've tried to search for an answer and have come up dry every time. If you know a working solution, please feel free to reach out! Otherwise, once you click on your desired era (medieval, early modern, etc), simply use the hyperlinks at the top of the page to jump to whomever you want to read about. 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. Why do you say "trans guys" everywhere? Why not say just men or just mascs? While both terms are equally valid to use, there's a definite distinction between them. "Transmasc(uline)" generally refers to people along the masculine gender spectrum who may or may not identify as Male (i.e. nonbinary people, butch lesbians, etc.). "Trans man" refers to an individual who does identify as Male. Some trans men may not want to be referred to as 'just masculine', and many transmasc individuals do not wish to be referred to as male. "Trans guys" is used as an easy fix, since it covers just about everyone in our community; including in the site name. The "trans male/masc archive" would've been too wordy. Why do you call yourself a "transsexual" man? Isn't that word outdated and offensive? Like many things, this requires a degree of nuance. For those unaware, at it's core definition, transsexual is an adjective that refers to a person who is transitioning their biological sex (typically with HRT and surgery) to align with their gender identity; transgender is an adjective that refers to a person transitioning their gender (by whatever means they deem necessary) to align with their identity. I identify as transsexual as opposed to transgender because before I came out at 13, I didn't have a strong conception of gender, and definitely not one for myself. As I half-jokingly tell my friends, "I was only a girl because they told me to be." Transsexual fits me better because there's really no gender to transition here, just my sex, since I've really always been a guy, just one that was unaware for a long time. To answer the last part, yes, transsexual has historically sometimes been used as a catch-all term and a slur to describe all trans people. But given the ever-changing nature of language and context, many have decided to reclaim it, just as the larger LGBTQ+ community has gone about with the word "queer". What's the difference between this site and the Digital Transgender Archive? Well, for one, that site is better made and this one has only been around for a fraction of the time DTA has. To be frank, this archive is a personal project of mine as a semi-professional historian, and I wanted to make a place for all my research. I also want to be more active in my community, and I thought this would be a good place to start. Maybe one day this archive will be able to rival DTA. You should definitely check out the Digital Transgender Archive in all its glory, it's truly a great resource and has been referenced on here many times. Will you ever add information about DIY testosterone? As of now, probably not. The FDA controls and regulates testosterone (in all it's forms) extremely tightly compared to estrogen/spironolactone, and naturally DIY testosterone is illegal. I'm simply not comfortable putting my archive at risk of being taken down. If you're 'academically' interested in the topic, I invite you to do your own research. This website isn't the only place for these sorts of things. So you think the history of trans women/femmes doesn't matter??? If you looked at "the majority of trans history has been focused on trans women/femmes, for better or for worse, so I made my own space to talk about the history of trans men/mascs" and came to that conclusion*, take a moment and think about why you believe another minority group advocating for equal visibility and inclusion is an infringement on your space. There is more than enough room for us all in annals of history. *If you are not Chronically Online, please know this does not apply to you.

For many, clothes (and maybe makeup) are the first step in transitioning to your desired gender and gender presentation. There is no one right way to look/present as a trans guy, so feel free to pick and choose from this page what you believe will best benefit you! As always, make sure to do your own research to determine what's best for you! This page serves as a stepping stone so you know where to start! Fashion and Makeup Top of Page Clothing & Fashion Binders Makeup Packers Stand-to-pee devices Clothing and Fashion At some point, you may have found yourself searching up "pants that make my hips look flat" or "how to dress masc" for tips on how to pass better in your day-to-day life. Fashion is a difficult topic to write about when it comes to passing because everyone has their own unique style. Some people prefer to dress casually, others suit up. Some dress like a 2000s Adam Sandler movie, others prefer frills and bows. A lot of fashion rules are completely arbitrary. The information provided below should serve as an inspiration for you in choosing what to wear, not a "you MUST wear [X] to pass". The same pair of jeans that makes one guy look flat as a pole may accentuate the hips of another. Work with your body and spend some time cultivating what looks and feels right for you. What do you like? First and foremost, what styles do you like wearing? Preppy? Punk? Casual? Most people won't have clothes that only fit one specific aesthetic. It's also totally normal to not know what style you want. Finding your style takes time. Where do you live? Clothing tips change depending on where you live. A trans guy living in a warmer climate like in South East Asia that regularly sees high temps and high humidity won't be able to layer clothing like a trans guy in Canada can. Layering can help with flattening some curves, but do remember to dress for the weather. So... what helps? You may be thinking "that's all cool and fine, but what do I wear to pass?" That's the tricky part. In doing research to write this article, do you know what the number one tip I found for passing as a guy was? "Do what makes you comfortable." Yes, really. There is no silver bullet to passing as a man. Sure, some people on the internet say that round glasses frames make you look more feminine or that baggy clothes may help hide your curves, but everyone has such different styles that it becomes difficult to consolidate all the information out there and also not make all trans guys into a monolith. However, there are a few eternally relevant tips for trans guys to help us pass. Avoiding tight-fitting clothing, layering shirts, wearing sweaters, and getting masculine haircuts are all great ways to start your clothing journey. Secondly, look at the men in your life (or celebrities) who you admire. What kind of clothes do they wear? Can you find versions of those clothing articles that you like and - most importantly - fit you? Copy styles and trends from men you like and eventually over time you'll build a style that is masculine, and, most importantly, yours. Go on testosterone? While this is not the section to go into depth on the benefits of taking testosterone HRT, many trans guys report that they started to pass consistently after they began taking T (testosterone). Having facial hair and a deep voice can almost give you a "pass" to style yourself in unconventional or less-masculine ways. When in doubt, dress like Adam Sandler. Seriously. Note from Aidrian: I have been out since 2014, so I've had some time to work on my personal style. I lean heavy into "dad" looks, so I wear a LOT of Hawaiian and printed/patterned button down shirts. Sometimes a color blocked polo. Pants are typically blue/brown jeans or black slacks. In the summer I swap those out for earth tone shorts so I can show my calves off. For shoes I wear a lot of tall boots or black sneakers - sandals or breathable sneakers in the summer. I also have a pair of brown cowboy-ish cut boots that I wear to more professional events. I don't really wear noticeable makeup but I'll typically use some concealer, a bit of blush, and a dark blond eyebrow pencil on my mustache.

Always make sure to get a binder that is comfortable and fits well. There are many places online that sell binder or binder-equivalent items. NEVER bind with Ace bandages or duct tape - both of these will cause harm to your chest and may cause complications if you ever pursue top surgery. Similarly, binders with clasps on the side cause uneven pressure and may result in the aforementioned negative side effects. Binders with clasps in general are not recommended. Zippers on the front or back are fine, but a good binder should look and act like a very tight shirt with no zippers or clasps. If you go onto a site like Amazon and see a binder labelled something like "FTM binder breast roleplay bra for tomboy elastic woman binder" - do not buy it. Paying a little extra to a reputable company will be worth it in the long term! Amor Sensory Who: Amor Sensory is a company run primarily by Andy Amor, an autistic nonbinary artist and designer.

Binders are compression tank shirts aimed at flattening and compressing the breasts to form a flat chest shape. Binders come in a wide variety of colors and nudes. Binders typically either look like half tanks (similar to a sports bra) or a full tank shirt. It is incredibly important to get a binder that fits you well! A binder that is too small can cause long-term damage to your ribs and lungs, and a binder that is too big won't compress your chest effectively! Each binder supplier has their own chart for determining which size you should purchase, but Spectrum Binders has a handy conversion method for your general reference. Use a measuring tape or a cord of string to take your measurements. In between measurements? Go up a size! For reference: "Rib" measurement refers to the circumference of your torso underneath the breast tissue. "Chest (Bust)" measurement refers to the measurement around your torso over the largest part of the breast, typically over the nipple. How long can I bind for? Experts recommend not binding for more than eight (8) hours per day. We realize that sometimes dysphoria may get bad on some days and you may fall asleep in your binder. Don't worry, a day or two of doing that won't negatively effect you - but it will if this becomes a repeated habit. If you feel any aches or pains in your chest, take a break for one or a few days! Is binding dangerous? Binding is not inherently dangerous, when done safely. If you have a binder in the correct size, you don't wear it for much longer than eight hours a day, and you're not regularly being winded while wearing it, it'll be no different on your body than simply wearing an especially tight sports bra. Though if you do feel any prolonged pain, take a short break. Are you *sure* binding with tape/bandages is unsafe? Yes, we are very sure. Doing it one time, like sleeping in a binder, will not damage you in the long term, but doing it repeatedly will. Improper binding can lead to bruised and warped ribs, compression of the lungs, fluid buildup in the lungs, skin irritation, and muscle pain. Still unsure about binding with tape/bandages? Check out this Quora chain for more info. Can I swim/exercise in a binder? Generally, it is recommended that you do NOT exercise in a binder. Working out in a binder that compresses your chest and lungs during physical activity may lead to shortness of breath, an elevated heart rate, and chest pain. We recommend that during your workouts you wear a tight sports bra or wear a very baggy shirt, if applicable. For swimming, many binders are built to go in water. As long as you're not swimming intensely, binding while swimming can be safe. Listen to your body! Should I get a binder or tape? Binder pros: Looks like an undershirt/sports bra, technically waterproof, can last for many years, provides extra chest support Binder cons: Need to wash it sometimes, can fray over time, can become loose with wear Tape pros: Wearable for multiple days, waterproof, don't need to clean them, good for hot/humid climates, good for temporary use Tape cons: You have to keep buying more, application can be difficult, may be more difficult for larger chests Believe it or not, you can actually bind with tape - BUT - it has to be the correct kind of tape. As mentioned before, binding with material like duct tape or ace bandages will cause harm to your chest. Companies such as TransTape have solved the issue of not wanting to wear a binder by making strong adhesive tape that is safe for your body and provides the same amount of compression that any regular binder would give.

The vast majority of men - cis or trans - that you see in movies/TV are caked in it to make them look more presentable/ masculine! Makeup can be a great tool for pre-transition trans guys to contour their face to a more masculine appearance and experiment to see what works best for them! Trans guys who are already transitioning can use makeup to highlight and accentuate the features they've developed while transitioning! For reference - "darker contour" here refers to any contour makeup item that is darker than your natural skin tone (such as bronzers). "Lighter contour" here refers to any contour makeup item that is lighter than your natural skin tone (such as highlighters). Remember! You know your face the best! Buy makeup in shades/colors that work best for you! Step One - creating a base layer Start by washing and moisturizing your face. Doing makeup on dry skin will make it look less natural and will lead to your face feeling cakey later. You can shave your facial hair, if you desire, to make a smooth surface to work with. Primer creates a smooth surface to place the rest of your makeup on. You can apply the primer with a soft brush or your hands. Then, apply a thin layer of foundation or a tinted moisturizer to your face. A tinted moisturizer will help prevent that cakey feeling later. Use a beauty blender sponge or any flat foundation brush to apply the layer across your face and neck evenly. Use a stippling (dotted) motion to achieve the most even coverage. Once you have a good base, you can go in again on any "problem spots", like acne or blemishes, if you desire. Leave your base layer on for around 10-15 minutes so it can dry properly before you apply the rest of your makeup. Step Two - the Jaw Typically, masculinity is associated with strong, sharp, angular features. This can be a little difficult for those with a round face to accomplish - but it's not impossible. The first step is applying a natural-looking contour to your jaw. Apply a dark powder along the edge of your jaw from the bottom of the earlobe down to your chin. If you want to affect the shape of your face even more, you can continue your contour up to the temple. If you have thick facial hair (specifically a beard), you may want to skip this step. Step Three - the Cheekbones As with the jaw, high, angular cheekbones will give a person a more masculine appearance. Begin by applying a contour line from your temple to outside the corner of your mouth, following the natural shape of your face. If you have noticeable facial hair, follow the natural line of the hair. If you are clean-shaven, suck your cheeks in and follow the definition of the exposed cheekbone. Be careful not to over-accentuate your cheekbones if you're going for a more natural look. Apply some contour going down from your cheekbone to the chin in an L-shape to create a stronger outline of your face. cred: Landon Cider, drag king; in exaggerated masculine makeup Step Four - the Chin You can use a good contour stick to make your chin more defined, square, and angular. For those of us who have rounder faces, contouring the chin (and jaw) can help your face appear less fat, if that's something you're going for. Apply some lighter contour to the point of your chin and some darker contour around it to make your chin look pointier. You can apply a horizontal line of lighter contour across the bottom of your chin to make it look slightly wider. Step Five - the (Eye)Brow To achieve a more masculine look, you'll want to accentuate the brows and bring them down and forward. To do so, you can use mascara or an eyebrow brush/pencil to apply thin, vertical strokes in the shape of your eyebrow. Use these to outline the brow in a thicker, squared shape. Once you've completed the outline to your desired thickness and length, fill it in with the pencil/brush/mascara. The benefit of using mascara on the existing hairs will be that you're bolstering the brows you already have, rather than always drawing them on. Both tactics can be combined. Furthermore, you can accentuate the brow bone itself. Apply some darker contour along the sides of your forehead along the hairline down to your temple. Apply a little bit of lighter contour just under your eyebrow to give the illusion of a deeper-set brow. Step Six - the Nose As with the rest of the face, you'll want to make your nose look more angular and larger. Though for Black people and other folk with naturally larger/wider noses, making the nose more angular may make it look unnatural. Follow your body's guidelines when applying any makeup! You can apply darker contour down the sides of your nose from the brow bone until you reach the tip. Add some more darker contour to the inner crease of your eye between the nose bridge and brow bone. Apply lighter contour down the straight middle of your nose as highlighter. The wider apart your lines are, the wider your nose will appear. Masculine contour; cred to u/SSaxonLane on Reddit . Let the makeup rest on your face for a little while before blending it into the rest of your makeup. Be sure to use a light hand when applying and blending nose makeup - the shape of a nose can really change a face! Continue to apply and blend until you've reached your desired level of nose definition. Step Seven - Facial Hair For older teens and adults, facial hair can be a great way to look older and more masculine. Without the use of testosterone, faux facial hair can be achieved in a variety of ways. Use an eyebrow pencil or eyeliner to create small, thin strokes in a natural facial hair pattern. Layer until you have the desired thickness. A dark gray or brown powder , like eye shadow or other contour, can be used to recreate a five-o-clock shadow look along your chin and jaw. Use eyebrow mascara in the shade of your hair to accentuate and define any existing peach fuzz or facial hair you may already have. You can also use a stippling sponge with some grease paint or powder to apply in the shape of natural facial hair. You can also purchase fake facial hair , though this requires repeated upkeep and application. "Drag King" look by Tynea T. There are many different ways to do facial hair!

Every few wears - or whenever you notice it starting to smell a little - run it under some warm water with your favorite brand of hand or dish soap. At some point, you will likely feel a little silly while cleaning... all of it. After the packer has been cleaned, pat dry. Then, grab a little cornstarch in your hand and gently pat it all over the packer. This is to prevent it becoming sticky and attracting lint and dust. It also helps speed the drying process. You only need a very light dusting, you're not trying to fry chicken. Once that's done, you can wear it again or put it away for later use! How do I wear a packer? Wearing a packer can be quite easy!

Stand-to-pee (STP) devices Stand-to-pee devices (STPs for short) are very similar to packers, but they have a faux urethra running down the middle out the tip and a cup where the scrotum is. Very simply, they're used to help someone who normally would not be able to pee standing up, pee standing up. Even outside of trans* contexts, they're very useful for camping trips or any time you don't want to sit on the porcelain throne. Not every STP can be used as a regularly wearable packer, but there are many that can be built that way. How to use a STP Pull your pants and underwear down. If you're flexible enough, you can shimmy the shaft through the hole in your underwear. Cup the opening of the STP against your vulva so that there's a firm seal. You're going to want to make sure as much urine goes into the hole as possible and not down your leg. Release the flood. Rinse the STP with a little warm water and soap. Pat dry. If you're in a public restroom and can't wash the STP at the sink, it's okay to just stick it in a Ziploc bag or wrap it in some toilet paper in your bag. Your safety is more important than some germs you can clean later. Want to buy a STP? Most of the sites linked above sell them!
