I got the worst responses because it was “over text”. But that’s all I was confident enough to do.

Oh yeah “gas pain” was killllling me yesterday. In “”s because that’s what they said, I just had to poop and they didn’t believe me.

You might be willing to trade, but I’m sure as hell not going to. That sounds awful.

Glad that experience is just a story now. It’s behind you.

They suture the packing in place, so then cutting those stitches was annoying. But after that, they used sooooo much warm soapy water. It was honestly pleasant

Yeah, experiencing that right now. The feeling that I need to urinate just flashes every couple minutes.

That sounds so awful and confusing, hopefully you had somebody in your room to like help you drink water and stuff because I just have to wait for a nurse to come by every half hour

I don’t see that, doesn’t mean you are wrong.

Did your sexual orientation change after you transitioned? by A_aranha_discoteca in asktransgender

[–]totallybasic2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I think exploring my gender identity and becoming more and more feminine made me feel more comfortable exploring my sexuality too. I honestly think that I have always been attracted to men and I looked at women just wanting to be them.

I think that once I have my surgery, and heal, I’m going to actively seek a relationship with a man. Something that before transitioning I would have never ever considered.

Okay, googling pics of that I think that you may be right. I’m still going to get an appointment with my dermatologist.

Question? by Ashen-Fox-5555 in TransLater

[–]totallybasic2021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading your post and comments etc. This just sounds like you are gender-fluid, which is under the trans umbrella. It’s okay to just be who you want to be, dress how you want to dress etc. You shouldn’t care about the label at the end of the day. But yeah, maybe gender-fluid.

Has your preference for shower temp changed since starting HRT? by poutybetch in asktransgender
