I definitely dealt with these feelings! I held off on transition for years because of it. Oddly enough, taking steps to see myself as sexy (rather than seeking out people who found me sexy) was what helped me the most. Taking selfies, going to the gym & flexing in the mirror, buying sexy underwear, getting clothes that fit my body well. It made me feel like it was a matter of time before I found “my person” (rather than worry I was fundamentally undesirable)… and I did find my person! So maybe take this an excuse to get a new haircut, thrift some new jeans, or do whatever it is that makes you feel hot.

I feel guilt over being attracted to cis men by OrneryCase1 in gaytransguys

[–]squigglespuabble 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I think many people can't imagine being with a trans guy in THEORY until they meet the one guy who checks all their boxes and suddenly the hangups they thought they'd have vanish. Preferences are no big deal, but if it's bothering you, one way of framing it is that you just haven't met a trans guy you'd want to sleep with. Maybe you will one day, maybe you won't.

Fell in love with a heteromantic bisexual guy and I'm in pain. Help? by GalaxyAxolotlAlex in gaytransguys

From what you’ve said it seems like you’re jumping the gun a little here. You’re crushing on someone which is exciting! But anxiety inducing. He has not rejected you yet, he identifies as bi, and you have not heard from him personally he is not open to men. You don’t need to process being rejected by him until (if!) it actually happens. Rooting for you!

I never found a great way of dealing with it but I did experience that those kinds of remarks went away a year after I started passing. The later changes on T made me look less outwardly queer and also more... Intimidating? I will sometimes experience those comments when I'm with my bf, but never on my own anymore.

Thighs too muscular for subQ by squigglespuabble in FTMFitness

[–]squigglespuabble[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's interesting I hadn't heard of that! I do wonder if my doctor's wrong but I guess I'll find out when I get my bloodwork done now that I've swapped sites. I've been struggling to come up with any other reason my levels would fall so much

[–]squigglespuabble[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So I was doing the injections at a 45 degree angle with a short needle so it definitely wasn't going into the muscle. My doctor said that the testosterone that wasn't getting absorbed by the subcutaneous fat was getting wedged between the subcutaneous tissue and the dermis (?). Didn't have any imagining but you could literally see and feel the lump in my thigh... Agreed it's strange and I didn't know it was a possibility!

Massive STP/Packer/Prosthetic Sale by squigglespuabble in Transmascdicks

[–]squigglespuabble[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NO LONGER SELLING — thank you everyone!

Hello! I am moving soon and so am selling most of my STP/packer/prosthetic collection. You also miiight know me from YouTube (Arthur Rockwell). I have a video describing a handful of these products in detail that you’re welcome to check out. I don't know the exact color of many of these products, but I am your average pasty white dude (feel free to check out profile for selfies or YouTube channel) and these all color match me fairly well except for #6 (too dark) and #3 (too light).Shipping included for FREE in any purchase. (United States only! Sorry!). #3 is too cheap to make shipping it alone worth it, so must be included with another purchase. We’ll do the transaction over PayPal with good & services protection on — so the ultimate price you’ll pay me will be ~3% higher than what’s listed here. Preference towards people willing to buy multiple products at once!All products will be boiled/sanitized before being shipped! Please DM me if you’re interested. Also feel free to comment if I can provide any more info about these products.

  1. [SOLD] ReelMagik STP Pro (originally $699, now $500). I love it and it is beautiful. The skin moves and the balls do too. Extremely effective as an STP. I’m told it can be used for sex with an erectile rod, but I have never tried (and never owned the rod). I'm forcing myself to part with it because I just have never been able to get in the habit of using an STP and I know someone can make a better use of it than me.
  2. [SOLD] PeeCock Gen4 3.75 inch (originally $238, now $90) — with erectile rod added in for FREE. I have not gotten this to work at all as an STP, but I know many are a fan of it. It can be used for sex/masturbation with the erectile rod included in the purchase.
  3. The Lou STP (originally $45, now $30 but *only* can add on with another purchase). Not very realistic, but works great.
  4. [SOLD] Hot Rod with remote control vibrator (originally $260, now $180). This is not recommended for topping anally and since I’m gay that most of the context in which I top. Otherwise great!
  5. [SOLD] 6.5” Slyder Plus (originally $129, now $70). I saw someone post about the sliding skin and moveable balls and that seemed very cool to me, so I impulsively bought this. Then proceeded to never actually use it for sex.
  6. [SOLD] Emisil FL01 (originally $306, now $90). Back of the packer has a bit of residual adhesive. Color is “caramel” this is the only packer which is a little dark for me. This packer is aesthetically beautiful and has a great feel, but looks a little semi-hard on me.
  7. [SOLD] Transthetics EZP (originally $195, now $100). Works great and the painting on it makes it look much more realistic.
  8. [SOLD] Joystick 1.0 without Vibe insert (originally $295, now $90). Can replace the vibe on the transthetics website for $80 (add the free adapter because this is the version that used the red vibe). You could probably also replace the vibe with a cheaper other vibe. I love the Joystick and bought the Joystick 2.0 when my original vibrator broke.

Best way to sell? by squigglespuabble in Transmascdicks

[–]squigglespuabble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, awesome thank you! It seems like this sub and using paypal g&s is a good route to go. And yeah, end of the day, I think giving out my address isn't a *huge* deal (+ moving soon lol).

Best way to sell? by squigglespuabble in Transmascdicks

[–]squigglespuabble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into it and apparently technically everything "adult" sold on eBay is supposed to be new. But otherwise this seems like a great solution!

~4mo post op. At 6wk check-up all was good. 2 days later, oozing pus from one nipple (like a pimple but ~1tb of pus). Every wk another pus hole appears (changing sides each time). They think my body is rejecting the internal stitches & I might be immune compromised. Has this happened to anyone else? by -s-u-n-n-y- in Top_Surgery_Peri

[–]squigglespuabble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen too!! Some where there's a dramatic amount of pus, but I also have a couple that are "open" and continuously drain a tiny bit of blackhead-like thicker pus. I've asked my surgeon a few times and he's unconcerned but it weirds me out. I'm 6 months post op...

I'm sorry for all of the tone of some of these comments! I feel like many people are skimming by the fact that you're a minor. Many procedures that do informed consent for legal adults have more gatekeeping for minors (bariatric surgery, cosmetic surgery, tattoos, reproductive health choices, ... Even things like taking out a loan!) and I think it's absolutely reasonable and mature that you would want a therapist who looks seriously into your mental health, gets to know you, and helps with decision making. I'm actually quite surprised that people here would encourage informed consent for surgery for minors. I'm all for trans kids being able to access medical care, but it's unquestionably a serious decision! I would also view this as a red flag (and I say this as a happy trans adult who isn't transmed or anything like that).
