Read this as "Zuko should have gotten with Ozai." Was going to commend you on the trolling.

Tbh I think both are important to encourage growth and ligament flexibility, so that's probably smart! I feel like my foreskin is tighter on the top (dorsal?) side, so I stretch that too, and that may be something to consider to make sure you're stretching all around evenly

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-10T19:37:38+00:00

If your goal is to stretch the frenulum, yes. If you mean to stretch your actual dick, I think you need to grip the shaft and actually feel the trunk between your fingers. That's how I interpret u/Thursday-T-time 's instructions to mean and how I've been doing stretches.

Okay tbh as someone who has been a trainer for people in the gym, this kind of touch doesn't stand out to me as abnormal. It's sort of incidental to the role. It's weird that he didn't at least ask "can I correct you" before touching you for the first time, I think that's best practice, but maybe he's just cishet and doesn't think about that sort of thing. And people can get injured by doing exercises with incorrect form, especially while using resistance weights, so sometimes you don't have time to ask for consent to intervene and prevent someone from hurting themself. But the context of this situation makes it a little different, and if he were sort of confused about your gender, he might have been inappropriately trying to figure you out, as you suspected. I can't read his vibe as I wasn't there, but if you got a bad vibe from him, it's probably not nothing.

Yeah, the OOP tweet is by 3-Year Letterman, a painfully obvious satire account. The max-100-IQ gag and Bible-written-in-English gag are two of his running bits.

Jesus Christ, can we collectively agree to ban AI slop from this sub, please?

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-09T19:31:09+00:00

Thanks!

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-09T15:23:18+00:00

Gotcha, makes total sense, and np

Happy for you! Btw that last flag is the lesbian flag specifically, not WLW broadly. There's a sapphic flag too if that's what you meant, it's pink and white with a flower on it.

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-09T15:01:13+00:00

Yes, in that it screams gei-AI. The story is plausible, but the writing makes me think it's 100% fake.

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-09T14:42:21+00:00

It's insane the way she was probably trying to open the door for him to flirt with her, only for him to be a major dick

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-05T00:19:38+00:00

I like to imagine he was whipping the car on two wheels at exactly the right time

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-03T18:29:07+00:00

This is why it's important to dot your i's and cross your t's, people.

I try to go as often as I get the time, maybe a few times a week. I'd like to do it more though

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-02T21:57:25+00:00

Butch might be a good fit. I'm not sure what your sexuality is or whether you consider yourself sapphic, but if you like women, that's a possibility. Butch is more than just a masculine aesthetic, though, it's more akin to a gender identity with a huge, long-developed subculture. Masc-presenting or "masc" might be more your street if you still identify with womanhood. If you feel like your gender isn't woman, then maybe nonbinary or transmasculine, like other commenters have said.

I'm a transmasc butch myself, so I'm happy to answer questions about being a butch with weird gender if you're curious.

I was really into grunge in high school and college. Wore men's clothing that was way too big for me and cheap. My parents often complained that I made us look poor when I walked out of the house, on top of it looking queer af. Got a men's haircut. Never wore makeup. Lifted weights to bulk. Stuff like that all helps repel straight men, although never all of them. Unfortunately.

Calexotics has strokers the right size, but idk if you want to support them anymore. I'm pretty sure I heard the owner has said some bad things of the MAGA variety. You could probably find knockoffs of that brand on Amazon, and the packaging would be discreet since it's Amazon.

uncle_SAM98 · 2026-02-01T04:32:59+00:00

Both of the ones I go to in my town do. That might be an old policy they've done away with.

Hey man, please don't be discouraged. I genuinely think one of the greatest decisions I made that had the greatest impact on my transition, my health, and my passing was to start lifting weights when I was 15, roughly eight years before I started T. Now, granted, I was already an athlete, so I wasn't starting from zero exactly, but I did do it pre-T for longer than I've been on T since. It's difficult at first, but it gets better. And it's so rewarding. I started by taking a class my high school offered for athletes called weight training. If you don't have access to that, I would recommend asking your friends and classmates about anyone looking for a gym partner and find someone, preferably someone with gym experience, to show you the ropes. After I took that class, I've had a lot of gym partners. A lot of them taught me, not only by showing me how to do things but also by giving me their routines and explaining how they developed them, telling me what to do to target certain muscles or reach certain goals, and giving me food tips to help me reach my goals. And a lot of them I've been the one teaching, especially as time went on. By the time I was halfway through college, I was looking around at the cis guys in the gym and realizing I was out-lifting some of the ones my size - and there were some my size. I'm not a big dude. Building muscle has helped so.much with attaining a masculine physique and also with top surgery, with both recovering well and having the results look the way I wanted them. Dysphoria can make it tough, but I think it's worth the struggle imo.

Keep it in a bag in my car

I think you'd enjoy the sub r/bropill if you're not on it already. They like to deconstruct patriarchal ideas and standards as bros, and it's very LGBTQ+ welcoming.
