Vanguys is a local BRITISH COLUMBIA list for FTMs and FTM-questioning, only. To join, you MUST send a brief comment saying why you'd like to join, and indicate your location (please note that we may need you to re-send this because for some reason it doesnt come through. IF YOU DON'T SEND THIS INFO, YOU WILL NOT BE APPROVED). Please note that while we love you, this list is not for non-FTM/questioning partners, friends, allies, care providers, researchers etc. There are many lists out there for folks interested in learning more about us and who don't identify as FTM or FTM-questioning, so we've chosen to keep this list just for us.

This list is for anybody who self identifies as an FTM (Female to Male) or is exploring whether this identity is right for them. The definition of an FTM is open-ended and can mean many things. There are some folks who wish to take hormones and have surgery. Others are perfectly fine in their bodies but prefer wearing "male" clothing. Others want hormones. Others prefer surgery without the hormones. Not all of us identify as male all the time. It is whatever makes you comfortable. It is whatever you feel defines you as FTM...of whatever variety! If any of this fits you, then welcome!


More Info: We all come from different experiences, and one thing i hope we can agree on is that racism, sexism, fatphobia, transphobia or non-binary phobia, queerphobia, ableism, anti s*x worker bias, classism, etc. will not be tolerated in this group. We're free to say what we like here, just know that if it crosses these lines you will be warned or removed outright. Listen when folks tell you something you've said is hurting them. Let's keep it supportive!
