Los Angeles-based photographer Luke Allen has made a name for himself taking portraits of hot men from all walks of life. His latest book “FLOW” specifically features trans men.
“I feel that ‘trans’ was being talked a lot about recently, which is great, but trans men in particular weren’t being represented at all in the LGBTQ community,” Austin tells OUT. “I decided to take portraits of trans men all with unique stories.”

He continues, “I think the most surprising thing is how different all the men in the book are. No two are the same and all are navigating through the trans experience in their own way. I just wanted these men to be seen.”

Only 500 copies of “FLOW” are being printed. It is currently available for pre-order on Austin’s website. $5 from each book sale will go directly to two of the men featured in the book to help with surgery costs.

Very nice photos of all of these trans men, and the IG page has a lot more of Luke Austin’s photos too. (I was very sorry to read about Cayden’s experience, though. I hope his upcoming surgery goes well and that he’s on the road to healing.)

Although I’ve masturbated to trans male porn a few times and had one “experience” with a trans guy I’d probably rather try to be with a female or a trans woman. Trans dudes, no matter how goodlooking, are pretty low on the totem pole for me when it comes to romantic passion and sexual excitement/fulfillment. However, I do support.

What’s evident is the esteem, confidence, and joy of these young men!

Here we go with yet another piece of the F to M transgender agenda. And all I have to say about those “guys” is: NOPE!

And which “agenda piece” is that specifically (use logic and facts if possible)? And how does a project by a photographer with no connection manage to so arouse your ire? Perhaps you need professional help.
While i have no sexual interest in Trans men because they are unlikely to have real functioning male genitalia, I don’t get all bent out of shape by their existence as you seem to (clearly that is not healthy), and the men in the pictures seem interesting as individuals. Considering what some of these guys have gone through to be where they are now, there are likely lessons in strength and perseverance we can learn from them.

As I previous said, although I’ve had an experience with a trans guy and find some to be attractive I could never be romantically or sexually fulfilled with one. But as shallow, overly pc and agenda pushing as this site can be it is a site that celebrates all queerness. So, “celebrating” trans dudes and what they’ve been through shouldn’t be a issue. And as cynical as it is to say hyping trans men is the new “queer trend”.
