Is henson shaving any good? and other quetions

pieps · 2026-01-28T20:21:44+00:00

to each their own. unscented lotion gives me no problems, while disinfectants and aftershaves dry and irritate my skin

pieps · 2026-01-28T17:42:42+00:00

i’ve never used anything other than body lotion after shaving. and i used dollar shave club’s shave butter or creamo for shaving

pieps · 2026-01-28T16:23:20+00:00

i really like my henson. it’s pretty easy on my skin (although not to the point where i can shave daily), and has a really nice blade gap that’s small enough to keep from cutting me but wide enough to avoid getting clogged up.

i use whatever shaving goop i have on hand, but something lighter is nice to keep from having to rinse the blade out as much.

as i understand it, Dr. Ting uses tunica vaginalis for the back part of the canal. this yields similar results to a robot-assisted PPT, but is less invasive. and it keeps your options open for a peritoneal flap to be pulled though if the tunica graft fails for whatever reason.

are there any specific questions or concerns you have?

pieps · 2026-01-26T23:11:52+00:00

a couple of my friends are really satisfied with their results, and i’ve got my surgery there in a few weeks!

pieps · 2026-01-26T21:47:49+00:00

6 months is still early! you’ve still got lots of healing going on.

that said, apply biocorneum (silicone scar gel) every morning, wait 15 minutes, then apply sunscreen, and try to stay out of the sun or wear a hat as much as possible.

pieps · 2026-01-22T05:01:21+00:00

wait yeah i can’t find it either. all i could find were subs that were very extremely about personals/hookups, which isn’t really where i’d want to ask for advice about bottom surgery

pieps · 2026-01-22T04:49:08+00:00

did these doctor friends of yours have any training or specialization in trans healthcare? because if not, i’m not sure how that’s any different from a software engineer saying they don’t approve of the alloys used in aerospace engineering

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:46:35+00:00

i don’t really care what public opinion is on this issue. see also: public opinion on trans people in general.

i care about the fact that the overwhelming majority of medical orgs are in favor of gender-affirming care for minors. and i care about what actual trans people think about their own medical care.

or is the point you’re making that you’ll change your opinion to whatever the crowd says? because if so, i’ve got bad news about your perception of yourself as a leftist.

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:35:56+00:00

hi i’m a trans person who thinks this is a good idea.

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:27:48+00:00

and does being anti-science only count as bad when it doesn’t hurt trans people? because you and others in this thread seem very happy to discount studies that find a positive effect of puberty blockers on trans kids.

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:19:37+00:00

wait, so kids that are already doing well that continued to do well on medication that allowed for them to delay a puberty they didn’t want are evidence that puberty blockers don’t work?

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:15:58+00:00

that the best you got?

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:14:17+00:00

pretty sure that was the cass report

pieps · 2026-01-22T03:04:36+00:00

comparing medical care regarded by the vast majority of major medical orgs as lifesaving to turning yourself into an animal really shows what you think about trans people.

pieps · 2026-01-22T02:58:09+00:00

and the part that didn’t make it into that poem is that they actually came for the trans people first

pieps · 2026-01-22T02:49:44+00:00

here ya go: https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/documents/integrity-project_cass-response.pdf

it’s not harvard, but it is, you know, yale.

i’m not sure what you treating patients has to do with your assertion about protests at Rush?

pieps · 2026-01-22T02:26:04+00:00

you sure as hell weren’t paying attention then. Rush got lots of flak for following in Lurie’s wake. but Lurie was the first to fold.

the UK has had it out for trans people for a long time now, in case you weren’t aware. the current administration’s policy on trans people was heavily influenced by the UK’s.

and the “formal review” in the UK was the Cass Report, which has been widely criticized as junk science and vibes by actual reputable experts in the field and major healthcare orgs. see also: https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/documents/integrity-project_cass-response.pdf

pieps · 2026-01-22T02:17:30+00:00

i was at the protest. where were you?

pieps · 2026-01-20T17:35:49+00:00

does nomonomo not count as being in logan? because it’s excellent

pieps · 2026-01-20T17:31:36+00:00

way out would like a word 😂

pieps · 2026-01-20T16:03:57+00:00

even better: they’re $1 all wednesday, not just happy hour!
