  1. Trans Men: Identity, Sexuality and Community

  2. “how can we make a sexual health resource dealing explicitly with fucking, Sexually Transmitted Infections, Hepatitis and HIV while at the same time, using language that is clear and respectful to the wide range of trans men who will read it”? - Primed: A Back Pocket Guide, Ontario, 2010

  3. Identity • Gender identity and beyond the binary. • Trans refers to transgender, transsexual, FTM/MTF and more. • Trans men are assigned female at birth. • Trans men may identity as male, trans or a combination • Transitioning is not exclusively a medicalised process. • The diverse spectrum of gender expression and bodies. • Visibility / Invisibility and the concept of ‘passing’.

  4. “I’d say passing to me isn’t essential, the piece that’s essential to me is, if I come outto you and you continue to treat me as male. Can I play in my body as a guy and be perceived and responded to as a guy? That matters. If someone is going to make me into a girl in their mind with their behaviour, it’s not happening.”- Primed: A Back Pocket Guide, Ontario, 2010

  5. “I don’t view my transition as rebellious or revolutionary. But there is something potentially edgy about being a stealth trans man in the bowels of a heaving, roving orgy of cocks and ass and mouths.”- The Oral Cub, Dude Magazine #1, 2010

  6. Sexuality • Diverse sexual identities of trans men. • Sexuality is not about gender identity • Multiple partners/relationships with various genders. • Body image. • Disclosure. • Negotiating play. • Rejection. • Sexual health knowledge

  7. Community • The number of transgender people can range anywhere from 0.03% to about 5% of the population. • Issues with data collection. • Lack of sexual health education specific to TMSM. • Lack of dedicated funded peer led services.
