Successful trans men

Part 2 Part 3

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

My silly design for AM. He doesn't know how to make human teeth and the teeth he stole from his 5 friends were too small, so unfortunately he has no mouth. He probably hates it. Just a thought.
