Welp. I ordered a new STP to try, STP-Fitz. So far, the experience has been stellar. I received a notification that it was to be sent out today (I had let him know I'm moving at the end of August and wanted to be sure I'd receive it before then).
The design is interesting and may be better for me. If this doesn't work, I may resort to the "coffee lid" option. I just cannot get the medicine spoon option to work for me. |

Linus, I got mine a few weeks back - wow what a difference - it's perfect. I'm still working on the best method to pack and use with ease. I'm modifying a packing strap that I think will work just fine - it'll make it easier to stand at a urinal and place the "nipple" without detection.

Hey guys I have a couple questions and knew this would be the place to ask.
I'm getting ready to invest in a pack and a binder-t-shirt. Ok...question #1...the soft-pack im looking at comes w a sack option..BUT...it says it's to be held onto your boxers with a safety pin.The thought unsettles me as I have this great talent to majickly unhook the saftey pins and stick myself.(It never fails.) And i really don't want a harness. Sould I just invest into more boxerbriefs? Second question...The binder shirts...Do I still need to wear a bra if I'm wearing the binder? I'm looking for ANY excuse to not have to wear those torture devices anymore. Thanks guys!!! Oh!!! And before I forget...I start therapy on August 11th. I could dance I'm so excited. |

Good news! You don't wear a bra with a binder. The binder replaces that. Bad news, sometimes binders can hurt and dig in if you have one that doesn't fit right. Be careful about getting the right fit. As for the packer, I would say sew the pouch into your boxers. Just buy several pouches, they can't be that expensive, and sew them to all your boxers. Hope this helps. :) Drew |

Atomic's right on about getting the sizing right. Are you going to be picking it up in a local store or online? If you can get into a local shop that sells them instead, that would be your best option in finding one that fits properly. Even with the sizing charts you can end up with one that doesn't fit over your shoulders or something, which is what happened the first time I bought one (apparently I suck at measuring my own shoulders), though luckily they let me try it on in the store so I didn't have to go home to find that out. Congrats on starting therapy, btw |

I wear briefs. Now picture the pouch/opening part of briefs. I use a piece of iron-on seaming tape to close off the inside opening. On the outside opening, I iron on a small piece of velcro Fabric Fusion. Put on your drawers, open the velcro closure, insert your packer, and close it up. The velcro closure keeps it from popping out the front, and the seaming tape closure keeps it from coming out inside your underwear. The whole thing keeps my packer off the bathroom floor (yes, this has happened more than once). Note: **Make sure you get IRON-ON......not sew-in kind. **Take your time and do it right, and they'll last for a long time. **I'm not a big fan of Fruit of the Loom briefs for this. The pouch part isn't quite wide enough. **Both iron-on products can be found at Walmart. Packing has become a lot less stressful for me since fixin' up my undies this way! Happy packing!! |

I had wonder how well the iron-on stuff would work for this, already have some. Just don't know why I hadn't even tried ... go figure. |
I usually use boxer briefs without a seam in front with my packy.. here is a link to a site with some picts of what I'm talking about: http://www.urbanbody.com/designer/Clever+Underwear
Not promotting that site, lol.. Just want to give an example.. I guess the best place to find this type of undies would be online or at a "gay boy" store. Most of these undies have a built in pouch so that someone's junk is all cushy and up front.. The cut in back also makes your butt look FANtastic.. lol I also found these combo athletic supporter/brief at wal-mart a few years back.. that works great.. Jocks with the opening for the cup.. This all helps keep your junk in place, although, the gay boy briefs should be snug and you are still on the loose when you have to use the bathroom.. Just my input :) -Tony |
I just love it. I had kind of given up on packing just because it was a pain to keep track of the damn thing......especially when going to the restroom.
I thought about jocks and specialty packer socks, but I really didn't want to add another layer.....even if it was just another waistband. Also, I don't have any sort of strong yearning to pee in a urinal; so this type of set up works well for me. That may change one day; but for now, I'm all set. Quote:

Hi again guys...
This is what I have goin on so far... The package has been packaged and is on its way. LMAO Luckily I have a seemtress for a GF and showed her the suggestion for the boxerbriefs and she said no problem. I have also made a mental note...junk on the bathroom floor isn't a good thing. :| The "urban" site was AWESOME!!! Thanks!!! And also a HUGE thanks to everyone for their suggestion, comments and support. I would be at a bit of a loss with out it. |

Well, for what it's worth, I just returned from a national union (AFGE...which is Federal Gov't) conference in Atlantic City. One of the great folks I met and am good friends with (she's also from my hometown of Savannah, GA) now is a union Steward for the TSA (Transportation Safety Administration). They're the folks who do the airport security.
I will email my friend and ask her about this. She is fully supportive of GLBTQ people and our issues in the Federal Government. I will ask her about this. If there's anything else anyone wants to know about this stuff, let me know by PM or post it here. I'd probably be more likely to see it if you PM me with it, though. Hopefully, I can help to find some answers for us. I'm seriously curious about this, too. :winky: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

Anyone here going to the LA LGTQ Center's Trans health group/center? I just contacted them about getting an appointment (I'll admit to being nervous about trying to educate a "regular" family physician on this stuff in Redondo) and got told it's a 4 month wait!!?!
Sigh. Someone explain to me again how this is an improvement on the Canadian system (wait time for new appointments is usually a month or two at most). For those that don't use doctors that aren't necessarily trans specialists, what challenges do you face? How much do you educate them? I'd really prefer to have a doctor in Redondo Beach but I'll admit I'm worried about what I'll face by using a local doc who isn't necessarily trans-aware in general. |

I've been pretty lucky with my drs here in la. Others haven't had as good of luck and they went to drs in west hollywood so go figure. I could have just gotten stuff through my regular physician who has dealt with hormones but not for transitional purposes but consdering i've had other health problems I definitely wanted someone who had experience with it. My obgyn ... i was nervous about and ended up he did his residency in san francisco and although he personally didn't have any transgender patients they had them at the clinic he was at, so you just never no. |

Hi everyone.
I ran into a great site and thought I would share with hopes that it may help someone out. Take care!! http://www.thetransitionalmale.com/BBUB.html |
Did anyone catch ABCNews 20/20 tonight? Sad story!

thank you for asking Linus. You can go to ABCnews web site to watch the story. Just check the 20/20 link for yesterday's show. A short synopsis though; a mtf transgendered person becomes a widow of a fireman who lost his life fighting a fire. His family found out that she was born a man and is now suing her for survivor's benefits totalling almost a million dollars citing their marriage was not legal in TX. The surgery was done before marriage, the husband was well aware of the circumstances and she had her name changed on DL and other legal papers. It was very touching and emphasizes how far we have to go.

I quite T. And there's a storm brewing. There are things in our past sometimes that can't be changed—things follow us. Wishing you well.

Sorry to hear that but sometimes we have to step back before we can move forward. Hopefully things will sort themselves out and allow you to move in the direction you want. |
question?
i have taken T is the past for about 9 mos. my personality changed for the worse and friends convinced me it was the T. ive been off T for about a year. i would like to start back on it. has anyone else had agressiveness, meanness issues with T? and now i know what to expect is it possiable to curb the issues? |
I have a question....
I'm presuming you are familiar with the stiry about Kye on the GWU NCAA basketball team. He said "I'm not a trans, I am a man." Is that a personal preference or is there a distinction that is made in the community? |

There are many who reject the "female at birth" notion and many who accept it without question. It's just self-identification. Just my opinion, of course... |

I agree as well that its a personal preference, as I've seen that with many people to be the case. I've known trans guys who compleely shun the notion that they were ever female even if only at birth, and I've known other guys who embrace who they were as they transition. I personally am the kind of guy who embraces My past and knows that I may have been born female, but I'm still a man and am matching My outside to My inside feelings. I'm not ashamed of any of My years as a female, no I dont like that but I embrace it and know that I had may good times in the past ~ times that I wouldn't trade for the world :)

Hey Guys,
A question about facial hair: How long should one give it until his facial hair is coming in as fully as it ever will? Might it take longer than 2.5 - 3 years? Just wondering... Thanks, |
Quote:
I wonder about that too. I've read in a few places where that type of growth is still changing for up to 5 years. I figure that at the 5-year mark, I will have as much as I'm gonna get. |
Well, I have been on T for 12 years now, and my beard started coming in much thicker just this year. I'm wondering when it stops. lol
