If you are a trans man (or enby), remember that T does not prevent pregnancy. While it can reduce fertility, people have and you can still get pregnant while on T. Do not play around with that shit if you don’t want to get pregnant.

T IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL.

Hormonal birth control also has the added benefit of ceasing menstruation.

I read that trans men are just as likely as cis women to get pregnant, and way less of them use condoms or birth control. Figured some of y’all need this info. Have SAFER and RESPONSIBLE sex.

    That’s not a universal thing for all of us. I am not sexually attracted to penises, and a cis woman or a post-op trans woman is not going to necessitate my using birth control.

      correct. that’s why i said straight trans mascs who play with trans women (probably should have been trans femmes). and therefore the original wording of the post stating gay or bi trans mascs is incorrect (whereas it’s important to be inclusive to straight transmascs because some of them have sex with transfemmes, and maybe they think they don’t need to worry about it because they’re on estrogen or w/e)

      straight trans mascs who play with trans femmes are still straight. you may also note that this does not apply universally to trans mascs who play with other trans mascs, but listing every exception for what is a broadly applicable PSA is rather silly
