One transman that comes to mind is a moderately famous and moderately infamous Russian former fujoshi and now erotic cosplayer who goes by Everybery (
SFW Twitter,
NSFW Twitter,
cosplay Insta,

Tumblr).
‘Fujoshi’ is a yaoi fangirl; a yaoi fanboy is called ‘fudanshi’. I think that this person likes feminine men so much they want to be a feminine man. Likewise, a big chunk of their audience is fujoshis and other women who also like feminine men but have few places to get such content from.
Forgot to mention when I posted that, but Everybery is or was in a relationship with another female, so they are at least bisexual. Being bisexual or homosexual does not stop a female from being a fujoshi, though.
On a related note, Everybery is easily in the top 1% of all transmen I have ever seen: good-looking, fit, has a good relationship with their family and many IRL friends, and earns money on their own. Perhaps it is thanks to this that they do not post deranged screeds on their Twitter accounts.
I think I'll do that. Have some TikToks as thread-content payment:

That does not look good. Head hair and facial hair are different, so this kind of transplant ends up looking uncanny and sparse. It would be better to come to terms with having no beard. Not all blokes have a beard either.
If you were the tenth member of a Minyan, it would invalidate all their prayers.
It would, indeed. Though what I had in mind was more like the meetings in the Jewish centre where they gather to celebrate their holidays and such. Nobody checks at the entrance whether visitors are really Jews or not, but there is no reason for gentiles to be there, unless somebody invites them as a friend.
This is what I'm going to say when anyone proclaimed that FtMs pass better. It is not just about testosterone having a stronger effects to the body - because anyone who learned to clock FtMs, will easily spot one if seeing one real life. Plenty of historical women assumed men's identity for a long time, even without exogenous hormones... Because they don't expect women to behave or dress in a way they deem only reserved for men. In our culture we have a strict standard what women should look like, and women who deviated from it quickly are not seen as women, or to be desired in that way.
To be fair, after her death a lot of colleagues did note that she had a high-pitched voice, mannerisms were off etc. They just couldn't put it together because a woman dressing and acting like a man weren't something they considered. I imagine this is in the past with "passing" MtFs too - people did notice, but they just didn't have the toolbox to put together exactly why these people were off.
Well, apparently, there was a court investigation over allegations of homosexual relations between James Barry and a governor of the Cape Colony, so at least one person figured the ruse out. A pretty comedic situation, all things considered.
Reminds me of the Arabian — maybe, my memory is hazy — fairy tales I read as a kid. For some reason, they had a motif of a woman pretending to be a man, befriending a noble, said noble falling in love with her, and coming to his mother to seek advice about falling in love with a man.
This is one reason I have a lot of sympathy for older trannies who have put effort into passing and leading relatively normal lives. Not only has their movement been taken over by creepy AGPs, they now have to deal with a general public that has been primed to look for and recognize them. A lot of them pass less than they used to, not because of physical changes but because so many people now observe anything unusual about a person's presenting gender and conclude 'TRANS!'
Ah, unfortunately, this works in the other direction too. Nowadays, when people see somebody androgynous, either in their looks or their dress, they assume that person is transgender or an ‘egg’. It is a rather common complaint from all kinds of androgynes, from femboys to butches, and even random people who happen to look ambiguous.
These kids are doomed.

What is this? Is this a special education class? Serious question. It does not resemble any classes I had in school.
