Welcome to The MANual, your online guide to becoming a man. This website is aimed at those currently undergoing Female-to-Male (FtM) gender transition, but also contains material useful if you are:

• a natal male
• curious if gender transition is right for you
• desisting from testosterone treatment
• detransitioning (detrans females)

This is the comprehensive guide I wish I had when I first started taking testosterone. Currently, this guide is far from complete, and under heavy construction; still, I hope you find the material here both informative and entertaining.
