I have no other Aussie transman friends (Or however you like to identify yourself as). I feel isolated and secluded, so I'm just wandering how many Aussie guys are here, and are any of you interested in perhaps becoming friends elsewhere online, like Facebook etc? It would help to have guys that can relate to how things work here and so on. Thanks.
I'm in South Australia, Trez. :icon_wave:
I live around Brisbane and we are the same age :)
Hey! I was wondering where we are, I think I've seen a few in the Top Surgery forum. Whereabouts around Brisbane harlee? I live on the Gold Coast.
Im in NSW ;D
Cool. One question, I'm having troubles. Where on Earth do we get a binder from that doesn't have the whole shipping garbage. Shipping costs more than the binder in my case, which is just crap. I'm on DSP, and struggle to afford food yet alone much else. My current binder has started to lose it's compression, and is falling apart :/ I have enough trouble finding one small enough for my chest, but I can't find anywhere that doesn't have that shipping garbage. I have to use tape or some other equally harmful thing at the moment, and my GP asked me to stop because we're looking for a surgeon for my top surgery here. Thanks.
Hi Aussie guys, from an Aussie gal! ;D
Hey. Anyways, update. I got a *reasonably* OK shipping priced binder on Amazon, so the only negative is the 3-4 week wait until it arrives. And I'm hoping it's small enough for me :/ And that I haven't seen that surgeon my GP found beforehand. My next GP appointment isn't until the 23rd, and I doubt anything much will have occurred, so it shouldn't be any issue.
I always ordered my binders from Underworks. The binder itself was around $30 USD and the shipping was $19 USD. Not unreasonable at all.
For me it is. But I'm on DSP and only get a third of it given to me by my Public Trust person, so that makes a difference. My first ones got bought for me, I didn't need to bind until a couple years ago.

Cool :)

I'm in Victoria! Hello all~
I'm in Melbourne :)
I'm Sydney-ish :) If you message me your facebook link we can be friends. I'm also pretty isolated from the trans community.
There's a Facebook group called "FTM Trans Guys Australia". Closed private group, just request to join and someone will let you in.
Hello Aussies! I'm not Aussie, I'm a Canuck []*[], but I'm on the same "pond" as east coast Aussies! *waves across the water* (I'm a member of an Aussie based Star Trek fan club, so sort of "honorary"... hmmm, we've got a conference coming up this summer, I'd love to meet a few guys/gals while I'm over if I can!!!)
Aussie here from NSW. Not very active at all unfortunately.
I'm in S.E. Melbourne

No, but I have heard about it. I'm usually working when there are any meet ups with any groups.
Poppin' in to add my numbers to the ranks, hailing from the VIC/NSW border.
I was actually wondering about how many Melbourne guys there are on here, 'cause I've got some vague plans to move to Melbourne and I was hoping to set up some friends before stepping into such a lovely, lovely part of Australia.
I'm in Victoria too, but a way outside of Melbourne.
I've actually always found it so difficult to find other trans people in Australia. I only know of three other trans guys in my town, and I'm yet to meet a trans girl here. :s
I'm in Brisbane!

Hey guys- I'm a non-binary transdude from Adelaide.
Good to meet you all.
Seeing how many Aussie men and women there are on the site we could form government. Now that may be interesting in Canberra!
Lets just take over.
And we'll certainly do better than the government we have now
Transuy from Perth here :)

Not too bad. I'm so glad the weather is cooling down, but for some reason it's got from way to hot to freezing cold. Why, Australia, why do you hate your inhabitants.
Trez I live on the GC would like to connect via email or phone.

No kidding. I'm in QLD so I don't see relief from the heat coming anytime soon. Damn weather.

You'll be able to PM on the forums after about 14/15 posts.
It kinda sucks not being in a city area, I'm basically stranded out here where all yo's hiding.
Where abouts are you Trip?

Albury/Wodonga. There's a couple other guys around, and we know each other, but for some reason we don't talk, awks.

Apparently a person my age has discussed with Sarah (the woman I'm currently working with on various projects) about possible being FtM transgender, fingers crossed they're happy to meet me. :)
And we've got a meeting with headspace tomorrow regarding setting up a gender diversity youth group we got this.
Just want you to know I support y'all in your desire for trans world order. :)
