Jesus came out and so did we 🏳️‍⚧️💪

Alternate captions:
-What do Trans Day of Visibility and Easter have in common? A lot of guys lost their eggs
-He/Him is Risen

Happy Trans Day of Visibility from WNY Man-Made Men (and also Easter I guess), enjoy this recreation of the Last Supper from our potluck last night 💓💓💓

On a serious note, helping trans mascs form a community through our group has been very rewarding. We love seeing how everyone is so eager to connect and help each other. Going from not knowing any trans mascs to having this kind of network is so important and valuable. As it grows, subgroups like gym club, T3RPG, book clubs and more keep sprouting off and we can't wait to see where we are next TDOV.

Thanks everyone!

The gym can be intimidating, especially as trans people. Maybe you've never tried a certain machine before, or you don't know which exercises to do to achieve your goals, or you are anxious and more comfortable with company.
We started a little gym club so we can go and learn together and work out with friends! It is an IG group chat where we can plan small gym meet ups utilizing memberships and guest passes. As well as sharing helpful resources for those working out from home like apps or trainer profiles. Or even just to ask if anyone feels like going for a walk together to get moving a bit! Whoever would like to be added, feel free to DM us!
Excellent vibes all around and everyone did such a good job. Perfect gym club first session 💪🏳️‍⚧️💓
And HUGE thank you so much to the incomparable for building our routine, designed to help masculinize/achieve the triangle shape 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Thanks everyone for coming to see The Aggressives last night!!! One day we will actually be able to get a group photo with everyone who comes, we are always too busy having fun to remember 😅 Can't wait to watch the sequel with you all. Special thanks to BICA School for the leaning pisa tower of chairs to balance your projector on when we had too many people show up and had to 86 the table (lol) And another special thanks to Daniel Peddle for making this movie/piece of history in the first place, and for sponsoring two tickets! We LOVED the movie 🍿 See you all in February! Next meeting post coming soon!

Thanks for the great game party everyone!!! So happy to see returning faces and new ones as well :) We had so much fun getting to know more about you all with the ice breaker games and can't wait to hang again! There will be a bit of a longer gap until the next official event due to travelling but stay tuned for that announcement :) In the meantime, stay on the look out for posts about other LGBT events, we have some tabling coming up and we are thinking of heading to them as a group with anyone interested!

We had an amazing first meeting. Thank you to everyone who came through. We were too busy having fun to get a photo with everyone who came out but we wish we did!! It was such a pleasure to meet you all. We loved hearing about all the different ways people found out about our group and how excited they were that there would be a trans masc space. It was so special to be surrounded by trans mascs and experience the culmination of all of our planning! We hope you all made friends and had as much fun as we did. Thank you for letting us make a mess at your space (and clean it up after)! Stay tuned for what's next by signing up for the newsletter (link in bio) or following along here 🏳️‍⚧️🩷
