  • Maybe look into hormone treatments to induce lactation? There are methods to induce lactation in trans women and cis women who have never given birth. I think it’s partly hormone supplementation (prolactin is the big one) and some mechanical stimulation (sucking on the nipples in some fashion), but I couldn’t tell you specifics.

    I’ve wanted to be a parent for as long as I can remember, but I didn’t really realize what that meant to me until I realized I’m trans (also trans femme). One of the things I look forward to if/when I finally have children of my own is being able to breastfeed them. I start tearing up a little just thinking about sharing that bond with my children.



  • Not all of it was exactly because I went to therapy, but therapy opened the door to examining myself in a non-judgemental way. I started going because I thought I had adhd and wanted help with it, along with crippling social anxiety. When I started I thought I was a cishet man with adhd. After a while I realized I’m actually a bi trans woman with adhd and autism. Somewhat recently I’ve started to think I might also be aromantic, but I’m not really sure. On a more therapy note I also discovered just how profound the damage from my parents/upbringing was. I sometimes wish I could make them really understand how much they hurt me and how much it has held me back in life.

    It’s been difficult for me to find info on it. Do they leave the penis completely intact or do something with it internally? It seems like there wouldn’t be a lot of room down there, especially when with an erection.

    So I can only speak to my own experience and I’m still a baby trans woman, so I’ve only gotten a small part of the experience. It’s hard to explain, but I literally have never felt better about myself in my entire life than I do right now, by such a wide margin it makes me believe I’ve probably never actually felt good about myself before at all, I was just experiencing various degrees and flavors of self loathing. Yet to most people almost nothing is different about me yet. It’s profound and subtle and life changing. There was and is a lot of fear but that’s more about other people than me. I would still transition if I was the last person on earth.



  • Just out of curiosity what’s your technique? I’ve been doing the same location alternating sides. I have a hard time causing myself pain with needles so I usually end up pushing it in super slowly and gradually. I find it helps reduce the pain and minimize bleeding after I’m done but idk how anyone else does it.

    Can they run 24 hours too? I can’t tell you how fucking annoying it is doing something fun with friends that goes late and have to leave at god damn 11pm or some shit so I can catch the last fucking train for the night or have to sleep over. Also cars specifically for people who need to move large objects or all their worldly possessions or something.
