I have a mrimin packer for sale. It's brand new, never worn. It came with some defects (small tears and bubbles on the back of the scrotum), i contacted the company and of course they wouldnt let me return it or anything. Selling because i dont like that the tab isn't big enough to use adhesive on and it needs powdered regularly. Its super soft and the look of it is great. It has floating testicles. I paid $199, so that's what Im asking but price is negotiable. Message for pictures since when I try to add them the post gets flagged

Id like to hear people's experiences with the gendercat 4rlz slim. Ive had the original gendermender for nearly 3 years and need a new one so im considering the 4rlz slim. Im just worried that its going to make the bulge too big and the balls will be too big for my comfort. I love the aesthetics of it, it looks so real and i like the idea of having bigger balls. Ive loved my original gendermender and i love that thats more of what im likely to have with phallo but i love the way the 4rlz looks too

Every time I bring up something to my dad about how I feel like my transition has gone all wrong he’s like “Oh no that happens to cis men too” and this is why there needs to be more realistic expectations in media

Im 3 days post op top and hysto. I feel good overall. Today im more sore than i have been but thats to be expected for day 3. But seriously if youre near indiana and need either of these surgeries the entire eskenazi hospital team is phenomenal. Dr locke (ob) specializes in trans care so she is amazing. Dr hadad (top) is so kind and has amazing results. Both doctors truly listen to your needs and plans for everything without judgement. Every person i encountered on surgery day was so nice, including the nurses. You meet basically everyone thats going to be in the OR before you go in. Literally the last thing i remember is the anesthesia team listening to good for you by olivia rodrigo and then hours later im in recovery with a super nice guy. He kept getting me drinks and making sure i was okay and even helped me find all my incisions from the hysto lol. And he didnt bat an eye when i bled on the bed (didnt have a pad on post op because im allergic to normal ones so i brought cloth ones). Im bruised from lipo but the pain hasnt been bad. Ive only needed the oxycodone once since coming home and thats because my alarm for.more tylenol scared me so i tensed up and that hurt really bad

Missing my sister a lot today. Today would've been her 28th birthday. I find myself often wishing we had been closer and i knew you better. Im just glad that you no longer have to fight your demons and you no longer hurt. I know youre watching over us, especially your boys. I hope it was a good birthday for you wherever you are. Its been 3 months and 13 days and most of the time it still doesn't feel real. The few times it does feel real it hurts so much and i miss you. I know you visit and that helps so much. I hope to see you again one day and maybe live another life together where we're closer and happier.

To my oldest sister

I hope you knew how proud i was of you for getting sober and handling all of the challenges with lukas and jace's problems. You were a damn good mom, better than i ever expected you to be. I hope you knew that i love you so much and how sorry i am for never telling you that. I should've been nicer. Your babies miss you so much, as do i. I took your presence for granted. It's funny my second.memory ever is of you and i roller skating around a white card table in the garage at the house on grey road. I remember you taught me to ride a bike without training wheels. I fucking miss you. You deserved a better way out than this. I hope you weren't scared or in pain for even a second. I don't understand how it couldve been your time to go when your babies still need you so much. I love you sissy. I just keep telling myself you don't hurt anymore and youre with joe and ryan now

You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again

I'm really missing my sister tonight. It's been just over a month since losing her. She missed so much this past weekend that she should've been here for; my little sister's graduation party and family pictures. She would've been so happy to finally get pictures done with both of her boys. Starting the process of putting flowers into resin for her has really picked at the scabs it's so hard accepting that she's gone, that her youngest will never know her and that her oldest is hurting so much. She deserved a better way out not such a horrific accident. I hope she wasn't scared for a single second. We know she saw the truck right before but it was too late. She didnt deserve to have her body go through so much. I know she's still around but it's not the same. I have access to the pictures of her car but I'm terrified of seeing them and the gore of what happened to her in that wreck. I wonder if she knew that something was going to happen to her that day because she was wearing a special necklace she normally kept on her rearview mirror because she was afraid it'd break or get lost if she wore it

Interview With Jamison Green. Originally posted on Youtube, by Dr. Lindsey Doe.

TRANSCRIPT: [Jamison Green sitting on a couch, being interviewed by Dr. Doe. He is wearing a suit shirt and a black jacket, and has a grey beard.] JAMISON: When I first transitioned, I thought I was going to go get a sex change, then go home and mow my lawn. I did not ever imagine that my life would change at all, because already people- at least half the time, sometimes more- thought I was male. And so, I figured nothing was going to change, I would just feel more comfortable in my body. I realised that there were all these other people out there who were living in fear and shame, because of their differences. And I thought, that is not right. And so I said to them, I’m going to start using my full name in public, and I’m going to start talking about who we are. Don’t be afraid to change in all kinds of ways. Your self can change. [Jamison and the interviewer high-five.] INTERVIEWER: I’m impressed by what you’ve done. JAMISON: Thank you. END TRANSCRIPT.

Jamison Green was born in 1948. He came out as a trans man the late 1980s and made his transition public, for the benefit of others. He has been an activist since then, and led the FTM community after Lou Sullivan's death.

His contributions to trans rights have been largely erased by mainstream narratives around trans history.

Mr. Green wrote the book Becoming a Visible Man, exploring his experiences as a bisexual trans guy, his relationships with lovers and family, and his struggle to transition. He was involved in the 2012 documentary TRANS, where he advocated on behalf of trans people, and discussed his experiences with being s*xually assaulted.

I hate to talk about something so extremely severe but I just need to say it. I know the whole “why is nobody talking about this” thing is annoying but I really am starting to feel like I’m going insane over the fact that Tennessee recently passed a law (PASSED IT, not suggested it, not considering it, it’s FINALIZED) stating that businesses have to put up a WARNING SIGN if they are supportive of transgender people. A public warning sign stating that they allow trans people to use their facilities. And I’ve seen almost basically mainstream acknowledgment of it at all, anywhere. Just other trans people expressing their fear and anger. Can we maybe acknowledge that for like, how deeply horrifying that actually is.

I lost my sister 8 days ago. Her burial was yesterday. I had to go back to work today and it's just now beginning to register as real because it was such a sudden and tragic accident. Her youngest (8 months) came home from riley last night he has 3 brain bleeds that have caused seizures, bilateral fractures in his legs, a fractured wrist. His dad now has custody. It breaks my heart having to properly make plans to see him now instead of just showing up at my mom's and him being there because it just reinforces the fact that my sister is gone. My oldest nephew (7 years) is honestly suicidal and angry and that baby has every right to be mad, in the span of a year he has lost both parents. It breaks my heart to see him hurting too. I spoke to someone else who has lost a sibling and he said life continuing is the hardest and he was so right about that
