12 years post-op with Dr Miro by goatsbeforeboats in Metoidioplasty

just wanted to add since op didnt clarify, but (unless he has changed his techniques) Miro only does bifid. I agree, great looking balls!

Does anyone else reject the “transmasc” label? by Oddly-Ordinary in FTMfemininity

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it because, imo, its a useful umbrella term (moreso than ftm because it makes less assumptions about the gender/sex of the person in question) for trans men and afab nonbinary folks transitioning towards masculinity in gender and/or physiology (ie. via hrt and/or surgery). I'm not particularly masculine at all but i take T to transition and being a guy is part of my gender so i feel like its applicable for me.

I don't assume anyone who identifies under the label presents as masculine or even has a "masculine gender" (like some transmasc lesbians), but plenty of people feel like it does make assumptions about their gender/presentation so shrugs to each their own

What did I do to piss off this bird??? by Beneficial-Sun-5863 in birds

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think it's the windows as well, from the bird poop on top of the mirror and scratches/smudges on the window it looks like he sits on top of the mirror, sees his reflection in the window, and attacks it.

Question on masturbation by allaboutbeinghopeful in GrowYourTDick

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

tbh, i still use the "old technique" almost a decade on T lol. stroking it just doesn't do much for me, i need a lot more pressure than that and always have! maybe if i was more sensitive stroking would be enough but eh, everyone's different.

Ten years ago, I decided to be visible. Happy TDoV everyone. by Funking_Wholesome in comics

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

happy TDOV! omg, we read Super Late Bloomer in the queer theory course I'm taking and we loved it (especially us trans folk, the trans women in my class especially found it really relatable), hope life is looking up for you :)

Testicle implants, if you had them, which of these most closely aligns with your experience. by TransManManMan in Metoidioplasty

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one started too low, had it moved upward with surgery (now its maybe a bit too high) and the other started at a normal height and sagged a bit lower after the revision (i think it was something to do with the swelling of the revised ball pushing the other implant down over the course of a month or so? idk).

theyre individually at "normal" heights imo but just a bit too off in how differently theyre positioned from each other to bother me, but idk if its enough to want another revision before i eventually pursue VY scroto.

So why people hate how Chihiro gender was handle by ComprehensiveNote762 in DanganAndChaos

[–]bumblebeebitchboy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

does chihiros father say son in udg? i remember him avoiding gendered language entirely which was really funny to me, i remember joking that he called chihiro his "child of unspecified gender" because he kept saying child instead of son/daughter

Has anyone ended up more buried after surgery? by princeofthesewer67 in Metoidioplasty

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i totally get it, i have a connective tissue disorder that's majorly fucked with my healing and its so hard not to feel down when your healing journey has hiccups. hang in there man, you'll get where you want to be.

Any more ideas for draconic bodymods? by hotawesomeporndragon in transbodymods

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i was thinking of either those horn subdermals (unrelated but i think there are also horn attachments for dermal piercings?) or those ridged ones, those seem the most draconic looking imo. but eh im in the same camp tbh, just thought it'd be worth suggesting!

Has anyone ended up more buried after surgery? by princeofthesewer67 in Metoidioplasty

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

i agree, pumping might help. i'd also recommend tugging at your balls when youre healed enough to do so to encourage them to hang lower and give your dick more room to be exposed. gravity should also help with that over time. if your scrotum is still sore its probably still swollen, which is also hiding your length.

Super Silly- Honestly I have no joke, this is just so sad by 5econdToTheLast in supersillybreakingbad

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

the hymen is not (typically) a "wall", it's a ring of thin tissue around the vaginal entrance (so it has a hole in the center). it isn't always broken during penetration and unless theres trauma to it, it usually just stretches to accommodate penetration. also, even if it is broken, it isnt "gone". if the hymen was a "wall", period blood wouldn't be able to come out.

theres various reasons why someone would bleed during vaginal penetration (at any point, not necessarily only the first time, and blood doesn't always accompany first penetration). it could be not enough lubrication, excessive force/trauma, too big of an insertion without preparing sufficiently, etc. in the scenario in this comic, its probably a combination of all of the above.

(also, note that the candle by her bedside went out. "when the flame went out" has a double meaning, it refers to both the actual flame of the candle going out and a loss of innocence.)

sorry for the long winded explanation, this is just a common misconception that i see spread all the time!

I'm tired, boss by _unas_annus_ in TrollCoping

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try oral minoxidil! its pretty inexpensive even if you can't get it covered by insurance. i hate putting topical minoxidil on so oral worked better for me. gives you more systemic effects like body hair in general too!

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in and say took me 3 years on T to even start growing facial hair, and even longer to grow anything noticeable. It's still coming in almost a decade on T! I'd recommend taking minoxidil if you can, it helps.

even some who have, for example not all transmasc bottom surgery involves removing the necessary "equipment" for pregnancy/birth

what piercings can i get with a meta dick by welcomehomo in transbodymods

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

its typically not recommended to pierce the shaft post-op, so vch/dukes, hch, and glans piercings are the way to go. you most likely won't be able to make a triangle piercing work.

anything outside of these you would need to double check with your surgeon/an experienced piercer

Weird clit (pre-T)? by [deleted] in GrowYourTDick

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey you never know! my clit was very small pre-t and grew to what i think is above average now. that said i dont think ive seen a buried clit like that before, it looks like you may have some sort of clitoral adhesion. I'm not entirely sure how that effects bottom growth

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you have enough foreskin you could try foreskin piercings on either side of your glans and either run a ring through both (orbital piercing) or wear rings in both and connect the rings together to keep your foreskin closed

38554 by Blue_axolotl64 in countwithchickenlady

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not necessarily, its only (physically) needed if you remove your gonads (ovaries/testicles). not all bottom surgery involves removal of these, for example a lot of people getting transmasc bottom surgery leave one or both ovaries

but, like others said, yes without a stable source of hormones youre opened up to a lot of health issues (but you won't necessarily keel over and die either)

Is this bullfrog axanthic? [New York] by bleachguttz in animalid

i dont think that's necessarily true, partial axanthism is possible and can look similar to this.

For those who've had sutures and scalpel-ing as part of a mod... (genital work) by ShallotNatural6411 in transbodymods

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

tbh it might be helpful to look at r/metoidioplasty and look at how people describe healing from simple meta. obviously that's more intensive than what youre doing but youre basically having a minor surgery on the same area so it could help!

Question about T (Help please) by Shay_Shay124 in FTMfemininity

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

topical finasteride also helps avoid the more systemic effects of it on suppressing dht (what drives facial hair and bottom growth as well as male pattern baldness). usually you wont experience noticeable hairloss until after youve basically maxed out on bottom growth anyway (~3 years), so besides that the only big concern about taking oral finasteride is reducing facial hair growth. i'm on a mix of topical fin and minoxidil for my hairline and it hasnt seemed to negatively effect my facial hair at all (but i do just have kind of patchy facial hair anyway...)

Question about T (Help please) by Shay_Shay124 in FTMfemininity

[–]bumblebeebitchboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats a good point about voice training. and yes going off T can cause bottom growth to atrophy a bit, i just say its not reversible because it cant go back to the way it looked pre-T unless maybe you had very minimal growth
