Movember and trans health
What started in 2003 as a few mates growing a moustache to raise money for men's health, Movember has become an international phenomenon that raises money and promotes discussions about men's general health and mental health.
AFAB masc health can fall under the men's health banner, also AMAB can still have some male related health issues. I have noted there isnt much information for health issues related to the specific health issues facing trans-masc individuals or amab trans or how women can still experience masc related health problems.
Im not sure if im making sense. But I often see how trans have to be excluded from gender specific spaces assigned with their gender because of sex at birth or how trans are often ostracised in society and being made to very mentally ill because of gender dysphoria or are predators or other evil things.
I guess I wanted to make an inclusive space and celebrate the pros about being trans masc and having a space open for everyone to be able to open up about health issues facing them. This place is here for support and awareness. And to celebrate our similarities, not differences, and have a place for people with any gender identity to celebrate their masculinity and or talk about ways we can be trans inclusive in health rather than exclusive of trans individuals.
Anyways, this movember I grow a moustache to make a stand with those whose gender identity might not align with the sex at birth, and hope they know arent alone, and together we can make a stand and a difference.
