The front and back of the packaging of the Buck-OFF Buck Angel FTM Stroker, with the toy itself in the middle, shown from two different angles

The Buck-OFF Buck Angel FTM Stroker is the first sex toy designed especially for transmen. I tried it out and found it to be a lot of fun, so here is my review of this interesting new product. Until I found the Buck-OFF, I never even thought of the idea of sex toys made especially for transmen/FTMs. Once I started thinking about it, it seemed like a brilliant idea. After … [Read more...]

Men at work – Being a Transman at Work

I solved this problem by getting a new job. Being treated as just "one of the guys" is indescribably wonderful for me. It gives me joy every day to just be one of the guys - rather than treated as a freak

January 5, 2016 by Thomas Underwood 3 Comments

I found recovering from my hysterectomy very, very hard - although I was lucky enough to have good medical and personal support

Based on my own experience, here are some tips for recovering from a hysterectomy for transmen Hysterectomy is a common FTM gender-confirming surgery. However, it can be a lot harder to recover from than you might expect - even if it is a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Recovering from a hysterectomy also holds special challenges for transmen, as it is considered a "female … [Read more...]
