I’ve been eating Velveeta and scrambled eggs. Could be worse. lol.

Thanks. Today is day four and there’s a lot of pain and swelling but I’m getting there.

I’m from Alabama, not Texas.

Short for stand to pee

Got my wisdom teeth removed. Not the most pleasant thing in the world. On the bright side my STP packer came in the mail and it’s been euphoric to practice standing peeing. Still waiting for the harness to arrive.

A mouse ran over my feet over breakfast this morning 😬. Can’t state how anxious I am to leave here. Just one more month.

Sometimes I have worries that what if I wake up one day and decide I’m not trans and want to detransition and then I’ve ruined my body. I’ve realized that when I actually pay attention to how I feel, it feels so right. I feel happy or neutral when I think of how my body will be in the future and the changes I’ve seen presently. That’s how I know this was the right choice for me, despite all the doubts I and external people kept trying to bring up to deter me from it.

I’m curious if inserting a plastic straw down the shaft of the STP would have the same effect as it did with the water bottle

That’s quite interesting. I wonder how well it would cut into the soft silicone. Hoping for a more low tech solution that I don’t have to spend money on but I will keep this in mind if I can’t figure something else out.

Could you describe this in more detail and the tools I would need to do this? Having trouble visualizing it

Am not transfemme but I have a bunch of luck with Underworks and they do sell women’s shapewear. Very good quality products.

Thanks man. I really appreciate it. It feels a lot less daunting to find an STP now.

Transguy supply is out of all the dark colors for the cake bandit harnesses in my size. Do you know of any other resellers that carry cake bandit harnesses? Also, how many harnesses do you recommend owning?

I’m looking for some more stuff to post to c/ftm. You get extra brownie points if you find some transmasc resources. Note that this post allows for trans resources for any gender. This is a sub-request of a request.

Five months later and I’m finally ready to buy one. I’ve been checking transguysupply and they’re out of stock of both harnesses and STPs for my skin tone. Do you have recommendations for other sites I could try? $100 is my budget for an STP and harness combined. I just want something to pee with that I can take with me on week long wilderness trips and be comfortable/natural looking.

It’s been a long week.

Uhm actually I need a second private jet. It’s extremely necessary to my basic needs.

I don’t know the current mod of this community well enough to speak on that but I can most certainly tell you that Ada (the instance admin) is not actively trying to be hostile to anarchist and leftist politics.

Thank you SO much for posting this. This was very informative and helpful.

I’d imagine Link was generally tired and burnt out from being so active on lemmy and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I hope he’s doing okay.

I can’t believe I missed this post by accident. Congrats on the surgery! Do let us know how the consult went.

Fortunately I can speak Australian
