Well that didn't work. Let's try again

you have more muscle than i do haha. keep working at it im sure you will get even better muscles but even now you look just amazing

[ty.to.the.man]

Haha thanks man, appreciate it

[Calder Smith]

I can't get over how great your chest looks, man. Who was your surgeon and what procedure did you get if you don't mind me asking? Your muscles look really good too.

[Kaylee]

Well that didn't work. Let's try again

Well that definitely does work!  I'm suddenly quite flustered all of a sudden 

[ty.to.the.man]

Haha thanks everyone 
Calder; My surgeon was Dr. Melissa Johnson in Springfield MA and I got keyhole surgery (they cut all the way around the nipple to downsize it)

I'll have to consider her for top surgery. MA isn't that far away.

Wow, Ty, looking seriously good man! You say you have no muscles, but you should see ME, lol! (hint; no you shouldn't)
I'm not on T yet, and given the fact that the diagnostic process over here tends to take AGES and that the 'gender team' which gives green light for hormones and such was temporarily shut down for no-one-knows-how-long :s
But sometimes I like playing a bit with fake hair. Mostly when I'm having bad days and just want to look in the mirror and see myself for a change, lol.



^ the most of a 'full body shot' I could manage in our mirror. It's too short for proper body shots :/

Sorry for looking so angry, lol I just always look terribly awkward when I laugh at photo's

Even though I'm not on T, I think the hair makes my face look naturally masculine (it's pretty androgynous normally I think). My main dysphoria points are my butt/hips (not that they are REALLY big or curvy, but too big and curvy for a guy of my length and weight), my voice (quite some people said I had a beautiful, sexy, womanly voice, and I was like "Srsly? Okaaayyy... great *sigh*" :s), my lack of male genitals, and lack of muscle/soft contours of my face/arms/etc. (the amount of muscle Ty has is enough for me. No bodybuilder ambitions, lol)
But I seriously HATE HATE HATE my voice, because it always outs me, even when I seem to be passing. I say something, and *BAM!* they think I'm female.

[Mr.X]

Ty, I think you look amazing. You say you have no muscles, which makes me wonder if you need glasses. I can definitely see them! And your top surgery results are fantastic too. Surely something to aspire to.

Erik, I think you look great. I know the facial hair is fake, but it looks very real on you. If I'd see you on the streets, I wouldn't think twice. You're a full on dude to me. For a dude not on T, you already have a full pass, which is something a lot of us can't say. You barely need T, man But yeah, you're right about our genderteam closing its doors. I really fear for our fellow brothers and sisters who just came out of the closet and need help. Where can they go? Did you manage to get signed up before they closed? 

[Erik Ezrin]

Mr. X, thanks Yeah, you understand I have fairly little body dysphoria as well, cause I just have a more 'square' and male physique. It's just my voice which ALWAYS outs me, and is the reason why I haven't gone out of the door with this hair on my face. I really want to try it tho', just see if people notice
And yeah, it's really a terrible thing! I couldn't believe it at first, and some foreign trans friends couldn't either. It's crazy! I really hope the VU gets enough funding soon, so they can open the gender clinic again asap! And nope, I've only just come out, and I'm not even on the waiting list or anything yet. So my only option is to go abroad, or wait till they open their doors again. It's really frustrating! I could of course self med, but I'm concerned for the risks, I won't even consider that unless as an absolute last measure.

[Calder Smith]

Erik, I like your hair. I've always wanted a hair style like yours, you know all slicked back, but my hair is so curly.
Nice facial hair too, bro.

[Erik Ezrin]

Haha, thanks It just grows naturally like this. No products or styling involved. I am going to get it cut a bit shorter tho', as without the stubble on my face I feel like it makes me look just a bit too feminine. Once I'm on T I'd definitely like to sport a long hairstyle though. Maybe super-rocker-long, shoulder-long or mid-back length dreadlocks. Who knows... I'd be glad once I can get away with it without giving up my passing ability!

[jussmoi4nao]

you have more muscle than i do haha. keep working at it im sure you will get even better muscles but even now you look just amazing

Disagree. I think his muscles are 100% perfffect as they are and anymore would be overkill, imo (I don't personally go for the insanely ripped guys).

I bet you already have to beat girls off, or guys, or both, whichever is the case.

You look amazing, dude! How'd you do the fake facial hair? I can use tips, because it looks very convincing

[Erik Ezrin]

Jason, thanks It's actually really easy, just cut off a small strand of your own hair and cut it into tiny pieces. Then just smear some mastix skin glue (if you want it on for a longer time) or vaseline (if you want it just for a short time) on the area where you want your beard. Then just grab the hair and dab it onto your face. It'll only stick where you put the adhesive. Then if necessary do some touch-ups like removing too long hairs or fixing 'bald spots'.
It's nearly impossible to create a real, thick beard with this technique, but as you see, it can create a very nice stubble look.

You have a very male appearance!

Ty looks amazing! Wish I had those muscles, instead I'm stuck with fat.

Wow, I thought you were on T at first! You look stunning!

[Erik Ezrin]

Thanks guys. My face is really odd, because with the "right" treatment it can look very, very female as well. (I know because I went to a christmas prom in 5th grade in full dress and makeup. At the time I just wanted to see whether I'd like it or not (I thought I might hate makeup/dresses/feminine stuff because I just never TRIED it). It was nice to be complimented, and see everybody drop their jaws like "WOWWW IS THAT YOU!?", but in the end I felt like playing a role, like a drag queen or crossdresser and decided never to do it again) I guess I just have a genderbender face, LOL!

I should try this sometime.

[Adam (birkin)]

I'm so jealous of your features, Erik. Every now and again I still wonder why in the world you cut off the dreads, lol, but you look good this way too.
