Meet Chris, aka islandofmisfits on the tube. He's been on T for four years and had chest surgery last year, and in this video he recounts swimming in a public place for the first time since his chest surgery.

Variations in Bodies [trans people aren't the only ones who struggle!]

As trans people we often get so caught up in our body dysphoria and trans plight that we forget cisgender people struggle with body image issues as well. This video beautifully illustrates the variations found in all bodies.

happy with myself & comfortable in my body (finally).

obviously since moving to california a little over a year ago in november of 2008, i really have come into my own and feel far better about my body and rarely suffer from lower dysphoria anymore. here is a collection of several videos i filmed throughout the year talking about being happy with myself and finally being comfortable with my body. the first video is the most recent one, posted to day, while it ends with a video taken in late march, just months after permanently settling here in january of 2009.









it's amazing how far i've come since say, this moment more than three years ago, when i saw my chest for the first time.

guys have their body issues, too. (male body issues)
