  • MTF here, so I don’t have full context/wisdom. I’ll try to articulate what I’ve gathered from my trans masc friends that aren’t on this platform.

    I think it depends a bit on your chest size? If you’re on the smaller side and need something incognito you could probably get away with KT tape or other skin/body safe tape. Generally be a bit careful with tape. Pulling at skin too hard can cause irritation and even tears/splits. Skin can react to adhesives if left on for too long, things like that. A quick web search can go a long way here for checking out what works well.

    For bigger chest sizes my understanding is that a good full coverage sports bra is the best option. Maybe shop a size down if you can stand it. Please do be careful though, too tight and you can hurt yourself. I know someone who would sometimes tape and use a sports bra to help position things so the sports bra did more flattening than holding up.

    In my own itty bitty titty experience I have a bra from girlfriend collective that is fairly low stretch and I bought a size down in case I feel the need to be REALLY stealth mode.

    Sorry to invade y’all’s space a bit, just an area I happen to have a bit of knowledge in! Best of luck! Stay safe! 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ ✊



  • Ahhh! I thought I recognized it! What a fun exhibit! If you like this sort of thing check out “Otherworld” if you can find one. Similar sort of project, but they also include a hidden story/mystery/puzzle you can solve that does a good job getting you to peek into every corner and really observe the installation not just see it.


  • The ceiling makes me like it! At first my eye struggles to parse the image then as I dive in I can begin to see it’s a street or intersection, and I have the brief moment of understanding. Then I dig further into it and that clarity crumbles. Why…how, is there a ceiling? If this is indoors what is the street? It leaves me with a lot of questions while still being visually appealing with the colors and haphazardness. At first I thought it was a video game render until I started to explore more.

    EDIT: is this from a Meow Wolf installation?

    I started transition at 27 and while I do feel a lot of my childhood was essentially robbed from me, I also feel I was far better equipped to navigate all the decisions needed around transitioning. You’ll get there. If your primary goal is to move and eventually get a job, you could look into a trade school. You’ll come out the other side with a very employable skill set. The one tricky part would be finding a trade that is slightly less dominated by men, or just full send it and be the token femme that shatters their understanding of gender norms. Besides, trans girl mechanics and carpenters are hot af
