Transcoded: FTM Disclosure, Sex, and the Internet

Upon hearing the word 'disclosure' when hooking up online for sex, most guys think of HIV. But Internet ads and profiles include sharing other aspects of who we are, including gender. Join us for a discussion about giving up the 'T' in a predominantly 'M4M' world of Manhunt-ing.

• Learn why non-disclosure is not the same as dishonesty.
• Discuss how trans guys choose to disclose information and in what contexts.
• Share tips for dealing with online harassment, abusive language, "chasers," and trans stigmatization in traditional M4M cyber-spaces.
• Think through the opportunities and benefits that accompany disclosure, as well as the risks.
• Find out about trans-welcoming web sites where you can pursue sex, love and friendship.
• Explore new ways to use the Internet for negotiating safer sex as it applies to trans bodies and desires.
