    ❤ I love it!! Brings me to tears, I can feel the joy! And I remember the day my dr prescribed testosterone for me. I held the bottle in my hands, I was so excited!! And not a single second passes that I’m not grateful for being able to have it and my transition. My heart is fuller than it’s ever been now.

    I am like you: An older gay transman with a lesbian past. But because of my lesbian past my mother can't understand that I am actually a gay transman. I tried to explain this to her a 100 honderd times without any success unfortunately. It doesn't help either that I live in a very conservative town in the south of the Netherlands. People in general don't understand these subjects where I live. So I really think that your videos are usefull to educate people.

    I relate so strongly what you said about people perceiving you as young being uncomfortable. I was lucky to have been able to start t at 20 and I'm only 6 months in. But it when people treat you like a boy instead of a grown man, it feels like they're undermining your life experiences. I guess that's partially because I am still young, but I can't wait to look more my age

    I'm in a very similar situation (although i had my first crash at 16, i've been able to muddle through until the age of 37 before i got a diagnose and a disability pass) and am so glad to hear your thoughts about it. Sod relevance! Existence is enough! My biggest problem at the moment is that i love laughing about myself, but with me being disabled, i would be making fun of disabled people and thats wrong, right? I want to call my disability pass "premium cripple ID" so bad... I'll have to do some more thinking to do on that front, but luckily, i have a lot of time to think on my hand now that i lie around most of my day.

But yeah it's so hard to feel pride when we did nothing to get it. I've added that book to my list too xx

    Touching the flap may trigger sensation through your base 🍆 but unfortunately the sensation mapping is in your brain. It’s difficult to retrain your brain.

  • @Philfluffer
    @Philfluffer 9 дней назад

    I am a cis man that had ALT phalloplasty. I did get to choose my size. My surgeon said she’d have no problem with making the phallus the size I requested. No problems so now I have a very lovely size of 7" by 7". But yes, keeping the bulge in my pants less noticeable is an ongoing issue. But compared to what I had beforehand I’m willing to take the hit of my dong snaking down my pant leg. It’s been 6 months since I had the flap created and no sensation yet but I’m hoping soon it’ll begin happening.

    Hello Finn! You look just fine ☺Honestly you're more well put together than I am right now! 🫠 Thank you for this video, lately people have been giving me grief again by saying "You remind me of those bearded ladies in the circus back in the day!" I've been called "It" lately again, and I can honestly say I've been so burned out on defending myself that I just stopped hanging out with people as much as I used to around where I live. I've been going through dentist visits, stress tests and heart issues lately, so right now it's basic self care whenever I'm not out at appointments so I can stave off any flare-ups of fibro or autoimmune issues. I've definitely run into people thinking that just because I'm younger than them and have no outward disabilities that I'm just fine and can do anything. I've finally practiced boundaries enough to tell them all that I'm not available at all unless I'm outside and they need to ask first if I'm up for helping before just dumping their "I need you to help me with____" requests. I have a few support groups, but still not comfortable going out in public with them because they're loud when they're out, and I want to/can pass as stealth now. I just want to be seen as "The weird quiet guy"! 😁👍 Huge subscriber hugs of support from Minnesota, stay cool and give Pip and Chris some love from me!

At this moment I’m pretty much housebound, because of pain from walking and any new smell makes me cough uncontrollably. Yet I still have family ask me when I’m going back to work, when just a shower exhausts me! It’s tough
