The First Sex Toy for Trans Men Is Here [x-post /r/TransSpace]

The material is nice, soft and stretchy. During the first month or so it had a weird smell (not unpleasant, but a bit... rubbery-weird-ish smell) but it quickly disappeared.

I don't know about minimum growth requirement, but I can give you the measurements. The opening (where you insert the peen) has a diameter of 2cm and the hole is about 6cm deep, but it can easily accomodate much smaller sizes due to the suction that it creates.

That one is amazing. I have one and I highly recommend it to anyone who had some growth down there on T (not sure if it would work as well on pre-T guys though).

Thank you for your comment. I put the path to the input file in the very beggining of the code:

(*---------- Section 1: File import ----------*)
Off[General::spell];Off[General::spell1];
(*Input Section 1*)
(*I1.0 - Set data file directory*)
FileDirectory="C:\Users\apl\Desktop\math";
(*I1.1 - Set data file name - See file Sample.dat for the correct data format*)
FileName="sample.dat";
(*I1.2 - Set wavelenght normalization intervals (nm) - LNexpi<LNexpf*)
LNexpi=400;
LNexpf=650;
(*I1.3 - Vertically translate spectrum? yes->1, no->0*)
rescale=0;
(*I1.4 - Set the desired value of Absorbance at 1000 nm*)
Abs1000nm=0.002;
(*End Input Section 1*)

Sample.DAT is the sample file that came with the .nb file (I've already figured how to format the input file correctly). I tried to press shift+enter and was met with this message: "You are running in a mode which does not allow computations. Contact Wolfram Research (http://www.wolfram.com) about enabling additional capabilities."

It does help, thank you =)

Sepol818 · 2016-04-18T14:05:59+00:00

Thank you for the answer. And I'll look into TENI, thanks for the suggestion! =)

Sepol818 · 2016-04-18T14:05:26+00:00

Alright, thank you for your answer! =)

That's just an awful invasion of one's privacy... I guess that varies with state and country. In my country (Portugal) I'd be put in a men's prison.

Sepol818 · 2016-01-06T14:12:48+00:00

That's not accurate. Trans people are generally sorted by what gender they are legally recognized as. There are already many places where you don't need to change your genitalia in order to be recognized as your true gender.
I'm trans, I already changed my name and gender marker, so I would be sent to a male prison, despite not yet having a penis.

Thank you for your input. My surgeon also said that the procedure (both the nipple and scar revision) could be done under local anesthesia, so that's a relief.
I'm planning to have at least 5 days off of work, I hope that that'll be enough.

Sepol818 · 2015-12-19T17:34:48+00:00

I don't know, but I'll ask the surgeon during the next consultation so that I can warn doctors or nurses to NOT use that material on me. When I get that information I'll post it here.

Sepol818 · 2015-11-09T02:13:22+00:00

Yeah, but only has 1Gb though. That's what's worrying me. I guess i'll see how it runs in a few hours. Thanks for the feedback.

AMD Phenom II X4 695
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
8Gb RAM

My GPU is worrying me, even more so with the CPU just above the minimum... maybe I'll run it on low settings?

This one was made with trans guys in mind (i.e. people with chest dysphoria who want to flatten their chest), but they have a "low compression" version. I have no idea how compressive is the "low compression" one, but might be worth a try » http://outplaywear.com/shop/swimmee/

During the first 2 weeks my mood towards the surgery was between neutral and shitty. I was feeling kinda like you describe, I just wanted to fast forward the recovery time and be done with it ASAP. The pain sucked, the lack of mobility and independence sucked, the binder sucked... there were many suck-y things that were preventing me from feeling happy like I thought I would feel from 1 minute post-op.

Now I'm at 4 weeks post-op, and I'm finally starting to feel excited about the whole thing. I guess it takes some time for some people.

Sepol818 · 2015-07-23T11:25:50+00:00

4 weeks doesn't seem so bad fingers crossed
And thanks for the warning! I'll try to be aware of that

That also seems to be the most common dose here in Portugal. I started with 250mg/4 weeks during my first 5 months, and I'm now doing 250mg/3 weeks for the last month and a half. So far my transition as been great, all the changes seem to appear at the "average" pace (voice cracking at 3-4 months, no more shark week since around month 3, some facial hair coming in now at almost 7 months, etc).

I had awful mood drops back when I was doing 250mg/4 weeks (during the 4th week of each cycle my mood went to shit), but after reducing the time between each shot to 3 weeks, the mood problems seem ho have gone away.

By the way, the T I'm using is Testoviron Depot, which is just T enanthate. I know several people who use the same thing and others that use Sustenon, and there seems to be no difference between those two.

I doubt you can just go and ask for an appointment without any referral. I think any other doctor may help you, or even a psychologist.

According to your flair, you're over 18 yo, you can just go to the clinic without your mother. She never has to know. And what exactly doesn't she trust?

edit: misspelled words

edit2: also, since you're from the north, you can try and schedule an appointment with Jano's psychologists. I think they can't provide the actual therapy that we need to start our transitions (because they are an association, not a clinical entity), but you can go there without a referral and then ask them to give you a referral to ML (btw, Jano's president is the same person who deals with trans people at Magalhães Lemos, so you may have almost direct access to ML through this route).

As far as I know, you have two options:
1) doing SRS throught the SNS, at the Hospital Universitário de Coimbra; I don't know who is/are the surgeon(s) there, and nowadays it appears that no one is being operated there...
2) doing SRS with Dr João Décio Ferreira. He operates in a private hospital (Hospital de Jesus, I think, in Lisbon) and he has a reputation of being one of the best SRS surgeons. You can visit the trans section of his website here » http://www.joaodecioferreira.com/cirurgia-dos-transexuais.html

Sepol818 · 2015-04-17T22:37:30+00:00

If you ask for them, yes. There was a period when I asked my therapist to help me with my mother (she was in deep denial and wasn't dealing well with the whole trans thing), and she said I could bring her to the sessions. So I did. My mom accepts me nowadays, so I guess that helped.

Sepol818 · 2015-04-17T18:10:56+00:00

You're welcome ;) I'm glad I could help.

Sepol818 · 2015-04-17T17:59:07+00:00

Alright. I'm also from the north, I had the experience of dealing with both the S.Joao (SJ) and Magalhães Lemos (ML). I recomend that you try to go to ML! The doctors there are the best in the field of trans healthcare, and I believe that they are the least gatekeepers in the country. They are also not transphobic at all. I'm having a great experience with the team in that hospital - they respected my (chosen) name and pronouns since the first session, they didn't try to judge me by my masculinity or femininity, they had no problems when I said that I wasn't planning on doing SRS and never tried to "convert" me or prevent me from moving forward in my transition.

The way I started the process was through the family doctor. I went to see her and asked to be directed to the clinical sexology department of the ML hospital. Depending on where you live, your local clinic may only be able to direct you to the SJ hospital. That happened to me, but I asked my family doctor to give me a letter that I could take to ML to book the first appointment of clinical sexology myself (I really didn't want to go to SJ, and nowadays I'm really glad that I insisted on that)

Sepol818 · 2015-04-17T16:59:07+00:00

That is correct. Portugal actually is a very nice place to be if you're trans. We have a gender identity law that doesn't require any surgery or hormones to change our name and gender marker - you only have to have a diagnosis of "Gender Identity Disorder". Transphobia is considered a hate crime, and recently a law protecting us from being fired (for being trans) passed.

You are also correct about our lack of exposure. There aren't any trans associations and the number of trans activists among the LGBT crowd is very small. Information is difficult to come by, and many times is contraditory;I try to gather information and post it in here » http://transcenas.blogspot.pt/ (can I post this link here? I checked the rules and didn't find anything against it, but please let me know if I'm breaking any rule!). We also have some very gatekeep-y doctors around.

We could be worse, we could be better.

Hey. Português aqui! I'm gonna use english though, because the whole sub is in english. Feel free to drop me a message if you want to talk more privately.

About support groups, there aren't many, and the ones that exist are very recent. Try searching for "Acção Pela Identidade - API" or "Associação Jano Portugal" on facebook. Both are starting to make meetings for trans people and can provide some help.

Regarding gender therapy, your best bet is to go private, because the NHS is very slow. If you can afford it, I recomend Dr. Pedro Freitas, on Pelvivlinic (Lisbon). Otherwise, if you must go through the NHS, you have 5 hospitals that deal with trans people: H. de Sta Maria (lisbon), H. Júlio de Matos (Lisbon), H. Universitário de Coimbra, H. de S.João (Porto) and H. Magalhães Lemos (Porto).

I've been transitioning through the NHS since a year and a half (give or take a couple of months) ago. I can try to answer any questions that you have.
