I also found myself watching pornographic videos of trans men. The Advocate's senior editor Savas Abadsidis (who's cisgender and gay) spoke with contributor Cole Hayes and actor Ethan Remillard ( aka Luke Hudson) - both Hayes and Remillard are trans and gay - on the positive effects Tumblr had for many FTM guys.Ĭole Hayes: Before and during the early stages of my transition from female to male, I used Tumblr to connect with others in the trans community and followed many blogs that documented transitions.

That truth is bumping up against Tumblr's new ban on adult content. Besides serving as a melting pot for creativity and self-love, Tumblr and has been the go-to place for many in the LGBTQ community to express their sexuality and their gender identity - in particular trans masculine bodies.Ī large part of celebrating one’s identity involves sex and not feeling shamed for enjoying sexual experiences with other consenting adults.
