Why “TransMascStories”?

When I first started exploring the idea of transitioning, I didn’t immediately see myself as a binary trans man. The term “trans masculine” felt more approachable at the time, as the gap between how I looked and how I felt inside was too wide to fully embrace being a man. This is why I chose the name “TransMascStories” to create a bridge for others who are just beginning their transition journey.

Ultimately, the goal of this project is to showcase the full spectrum of trans masculine journeys, regardless of whether someone identifies strictly as a man. By using “trans masc,” I hope to invite stories from anyone who has taken steps to feel more at home in their body, embracing the many ways trans masculine identities can exist.

No label fits all, however, I am trying to be as inclusive as I can. Read more about the project here.
