I’m Coda, 26, and I’m from the USA. I play a lot of co-op games, especially things like Big Walk, and I’m currently trying to put together a group if anyone wants to join. We have two people so far, and I think it’d be really fun to bring a few strangers together for a hiking game and get to know each dynamic & personality along the way.
My favorite game isn’t co-op, though. It’s an RPG called End Roll. I really love horror RPGs in general. Outside of gaming, I like hiking and I’m also into fish keeping. I’m hoping to set up a shrimp tank soon.
I’m a huge Better Call Saul fan, and honestly, I think it’s better than Breaking Bad, so please don’t come for me for that opinion lol. My favorite movie is hard to pick, but recently its Look Back. I’m also kind of a huge anime nerd.
For work, I do technical support. I’m Hispanic but pretty whitewashed. I’m not religious, and I’d rather not really talk about religion.
I’m also a trans guy and I’m almost a year on T. I’m currently in that masc leaning androgynous stage where people gender me correctly most of the time, but not always. Get called pretty boy a lot which I don't mind. I try pretty hard to look masculine, but I guess I just have a softer face. I suck at fashion so I end up wearing a lot of black tshirts and hoodies with straight leg jeans lol. Would be great to get a friend that knows a thing or two about fashion. I’m hoping to get top surgery next year and eventually bottom surgery too.
I’d really love to have close trans guy friends. It’d be awesome to get a little group going and make new friends :)

(26 FTM) I'm in the US near Denver, CO. Married for over 4 years to another trans man.
I'm currently trying to get back into some of my more outdoorsy hobbies on a regular basis including hiking, camping, and snowboarding once winter comes around. I really enjoy off-road dirtbiking. I'm also working on getting back into the gym in general as I used to be really into weight lifting and swimming.
I play a fair amount of video games, mostly open world single-player like RDR2, FO4, GTA, and Starfield. I also enjoy reading primarily non-fiction.
I'm currently working as a paramedic in a rural area in the mountains, and very interested in medicine and search and rescue stuff. I've also done urban EMS for several years.
I've been on T for around 11 years and had top surgery around 8 years ago. I'm interested in possibly having phallo and a top surgery revision at some point, but no concrete plans yet.

What do you like to be called?
"orio" or "orion" (note the lowercase 'o').
How old are you?
33.
What country do you live in?
I'm from Ukraine originally, currently live in Lithuania.
What are some hobbies you have?
Working out, writing, gaming, special FX makeup, and cosplay are my main interests.
List some favorite movies, TV shows, games, or other things?
I absolutely love westerns (the old spaghetti westerns, Desperados, Red Dead Redemption), PvP & arena shooters, non-isometric MOBAs, old-school RPGs, VNs, Vampire the Masquerade tabletop, vampires as a trope, Rammstein, Powerwolf, and a lot of other things.
Do you have any cultural or religious ties that are important to you?
I practice Haitian Vodou. It's one of the few LGBTQIA+ friendly religions and it focuses on spiritual healing and ancestor worship.
Do you have any pets?
I've got two same-litter cats whom I love to bits.
What's an interesting fact about you?
I'm a late-bloomer (I understood that I'm trans at 31). A trans man headcanon for a fictional character was the catalyst for my epiphany and I initially joined this sub to research this headcanon, lol.
What are your transition goals?
T + hysto + top surgery are on my to-do list. I'm aroace, so I don't care that much about a meto/phallo – I just want someone to cut the baby-maker out of me.
Where are you in your transition?
Currently I am in a queue to obtain T. I've transitioned fully online, but I've yet to do it in real-life to avoid drawing unnecessary (transphobic) attention to myself – even though I've got the height and a very masculine haircut. Having 112cm-wide hips on a 85cm-waist is kind of making it hard to pass without T, especially in the summer.

Hi, you sound really cool ! Haitia Vodou seems interesting.

u/CepheiHR8938 Vive la Trans 3d ago
Thank you! Yes, Vodou has helped me a lot in the past year – it has brought me peace.

Hiya :3
You can call me Zero. I'm in my mid 20s and I live in the UK unfortunately.
I enjoy working on my novel (high fantasy), playing D&D, and reading about history (especially early imperial Rome, and late 19th-mid 20th century Russia) and politics. I speak Latin and plan on teaching myself some modern languages in the future, most likely Russian, Italian, or Irish/Gaeilge. I am also very interested in the history of medicine/plagues, and ocean life (especially squid and sharks).
Games: Sonic the Hedgehog (especially ShTH05, SA2, Sonic 06, Sonic Forces, and Sonic Frontiers), Jak and Daxter, Baldurs Gate 3, Cult of the Lamb, Sims 4, Sunless Sea, Vampyr.
Films/TV: Dead Poets Society, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Death Note, Bridgerton, Sonic X, Sonic Prime, Succession. Also Secret Sleepover Society and Jillyeon on YouTube.
I am from northern England and I love being northern. I also have some Irish heritage which I am proud of and would like to learn more about. I'm not religious at all, but I had a semi-religious upbringing and I'm not a fan of it.
My transition goals are to be quite muscular, maybe some facial hair but not a long beard or anything. In an ideal universe I'd look like Diluc from Genshin Impact but I don't have much in the way of real life transition goals. I just want to grow my hair and bulk up and get more tattoos.
I am 2.5 years on T, 2 years post top surgery. I'm not planning on any further surgeries but we'll see I guess.

hi! my name is Baskerville (he/him), I'm a 19yo Brazilian 🇧🇷, closeted and pre everything.
I like games, animals and mysteries. My hobbies are: playing games, drawing and learning more about computers. There's something fantastic about abandonware and not-so-old internet (like the Frutiger Aero aesthetic) that draws me to it. I also study bird psychology to become a bird whisperer (I'm friends with some pigeons by now lol).
If you like cool random facts about animals and nerd stuff, I'm your man. Im serious, I'll spam your inbox with fun facts. You were warned.
my fav games are: RDR2, Undertale/Deltarune, DBH, Rusty Lake Series and my most recent beloved one: About Fishing.
My fav tv shows: Our Flag Means Death, Smiling Friends and BBC Sherlock.
My fav musicians/bands: Micah Dailey-White, Men I Trust, Metallica, Pitty (Brazilian rock singer), Hawaiian Engineers (Brazilian rock band)

Hey, I’m Marco, 28, and I’m in the Inland Empire area of SoCal. I’m looking to meet other trans men/transmasc people nearby, ideally people around my age who’d be down to hang out in person and become actual friends
I’m into concerts/raves, hiking, bouldering, lifting, gaming, movies, and trying new things. I’d especially love to meet people in the Inland Empire, but I’m open to nearby parts of SoCal too

u/AlternativeOwn1248 Aug 20 '26
(19 FTM) near st paul MN in the USA. I love animals especially dogs and horses, I have ridden horses since I was 7. I also like to crochet and do crafts like diamond art projects in my free time. Some shows I love: solar opposites, the walking dead, rick and morty, breaking bad, orange is the new black (I’m not quite finished but like it a lot so far!) I prefer reading over watching shows and honestly only enjoy watching shows with friends or when I’m doing a craft at the same time. My favorite book genre is romantacy and I’m currently rereading ACOTAR to prepare for the new book release :) I have a dog named Jake and he is my child spawn. (I know I’m a man and he is a dog who is 70 in dog years, don’t get caught up in the details..) I started T a little over a month ago! I’m loving it, I’m on the lowest dose ever it’s .1 because I just started but I hope to raise it in October! I’m pre everything surgery-wise, I hope to get top surgery soon I just have to pick a surgeon and find the balls to make an appointment

u/Lanky-Track8643 Sep 08 '26

Brief intro:
i’m a trans man, 24, married to my wife of 3 years, together for 10. Im in the US, Tx (unfortunately) i enjoy video games, reading, music, watching shows, movies.
i currently do merchandising, but figuring out what i really want. im ok with discord/ig. i never really put myself out there, but i haven’t had friends in a while. i’ve been wanting to make some connections now, but i was hurt before by my past friendship of 10+ years. that old friend is now friends with my wife, and it’s just not the same and i have no interest of becoming close with her again, just want to be respectful.
i’m open to talk about anything.
i would talk on reddit but i honestly don’t hop much on here and don’t have notifs on sometimes. i was on t for a while then i couldn’t afford it, but im back on again. happy 1 week. pre surgery, but wanting to get top in the next 2 years, just to save up. anyway, hope this reaches the right crowd:)

Hello! I’m Sam, 19, from the DWF area of the US!
I’m an art student currently pursing concept design work but I’ll take what I can get lol.
I don’t actually watch a lot of movies or tv (despite working in a movie theater) but I have a lot of love for the Hadestown proshot!
I’m into rpgs (current fave is the KCD franchise) but not against figuring out a fps if you don’t mind playing with someone who sucks (used to play a LOT of apex though. Shoutout bloodhound)
Uhh I love birds, am a casual ancient history fan, and I rollerskate when it’s not 100 something degrees Fahrenheit!
I’m pre everything, currently living at home and commuting to school n my folks are NOT super into the idea of having another son so. God at least took a little pity on me blessed me with mild pmos.
Im a lover! But I was sort of a floater in high school so I don’t really have a lot of friends I’d call close and things have been very strange with my partner? Lately, so I’m hoping to change that first part. Let’s play video games! I got insta, discord, and twt if you’d rather chat there 🙂↕️

u/YEEHAWSTILE Sep 03 '26
Always a tough pick, but I usually tell people the kea when I get asked lol, very fun guys! You seem cool, we should play something together :]
1
u/Shot-Candidate-6228 Sep 03 '26
The kea is so pretty! My fav is the vogelkop bowerbird:
- they build manors
- they build the walls around a stick (like a column) and tow the inner walls with mud
- they decorate the yard with flowers and colorful seeds
- they imitate other birds
- they have a cute face
thanks! unfortunately I can't play coop games (family and timezone). But we could chat if that's okay! I got discord

u/YEEHAWSTILE Sep 03 '26
No worries, my discord is birdmyrmidon hmu
