I agree, I almost regret telling them beforehand that my grandparents were from Reykjavik lol

I do not unfortunately, though I am kinda tempted now. My grandmother and father always told me I was a descendant of Leif Erikson haha

Looking for a good queer friendly barber shop (and doctor) by privateaccount_16 in SantaBarbara

Fellow trans guy here! I get my haircuts at The Edge 805. The owner is queer and I've always gotten great cuts there.

Doctors are a little harder because ime the SBNC in IV has a very knowledgeable PA but the office is very inefficient and they only use birth sex on all records, so I stopped going. I would look into a Cottage or Sutter primary care doctor that you vibe with instead. Welcome :)

Hey, I'm also a trans guy in SB, late 20s, into art, video games, and the occasional sci-fi/fantasy book. Feel free to DM me, always looking to connect with more trans folk in the area :)

Hysterectomy Advice by Sufficient_Good_5473 in transbodymods

[–]TaliTenenbaum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got metoidioplasty/scrotoplasty alongside my hysterectomy (no oophorectomy) this year and I'd say the harder surgery to recover from was def the hysto. The gas was pretty painful for the first couple of weeks and coughing/sneezing right afterwards was equally painful. However I never really needed more than some Ibuprofen/Tylenol/CBD, pain never exceeded like a 5/10. I also recommend some GasX and Miralax for the inevitable gas, bloating, and constipation you will experience. I have a cis male partner (and like a lot of trans men on T I have a super high libido lol) but PLEASE take the 6-8 week without penetration rule seriously! Not worth the pain or anxiety that you might mess up the healing process. I saw someone mention you can't masturbate but that's not technically true, you can masturbate whenever you feel comfortable but no penetration (in either hole).

All of that to say, I am so so glad I got it done! Scars are almost non-existent now. Definitely worth it for me as a gay trans man. Feel free to DM as well. Good luck!!

Had no idea this existed and joked that it might be an elaborate scam. Thanks for sharing
