    I'm curious how cis girls relate to peeing standing up. For me, it seemed like such a good idea, that I just had to. Why? No idea. It doesn't seem so attractive to cis women, does it?

    Yeah, idk...I've talked to my fiancee about it and told her how when I was a kid I used to try to do it, and still do sometimes. She thinks most cis girls are curious about it and think it would be convenient, but she has never actually tried and thinks my obsession with it is pretty abnormal for a cis woman. I have always been so pissed I can't piss on a tree or write my name in the snow XD

    I was definitely trying pee standing up as well, don't remember how old I was though.
    Btw you're so lucky that purchasing these things, I mean packers, binders, stps, etc. is so easy where you live. When we order from outside the EU it's freakin' expensive and it takes ages to arrive. :dry:

    I will have to admit having male genetalia makes it easier to pee...

    One big idk. Maybe they feel fascinated, and would find it fun, but don't automatically do it just because? The friends of mine who found out I stand peeing, and mom, were just confused.

    CONGRATS!!! Absolutely a reason to celebrate!


    My victory today was when I was in the checkout line at Wal-Mart and the checkout girl (early 20's) said just as I was leaving, "I just wanted to tell you... you're very pretty." I could have died right then because my heart was so full. :icon_bigg

    Yeah, it was one of the big signs for me too. Like, cis women would find it convenient but they wouldn't necessarily feel like there was something wrong with them if they couldn't do it, you know? And if you need a cheap STP or whatever, I personally swear by the P-style.

    It's probably not the most passable but it's really one of the only ones I've had the best luck with. If I can't use an STP when I'm slightly drunk and my bladder's exploding and I don't want to have to careful train myself to even use it, it fails as an STP. The P-Style actually passes my personal test and I've been able to use it at urinals and outside.

    --

    My small victory- I feel like I'm starting to pass better. My voice hasn't actually dropped yet but for the first time ever, I apparently passed on the phone (but I was kind of congested)

    Come out of the opticians after being misgendered and dead named to hell and a drunk guy outside the pub comes up to me for a fist bump saying "bring it here brother, you're the man you're the man". Just the boost I needed.

    I love how that can happen sometimes. It is like divine intervention, sending in an angel to save your self esteem right when you need it.

    I got my stp/packer this morning! Haven't actually peed with it yet cuz I had just gone before it got here. I am wearing it at work, no harness or anything. It is pretty small and my undies are tight enough it is staying in place. I don't actually want a visible bulge at this job so I just kinda folded it in half. It is comfy though, I am already used to it. Perhaps the best thing about it is that it seems to really help me walk more masculine. I read somewhere guys walk with their legs a bit further apart, and I've been trying to do that but sometimes I forget. Now it is almost difficult not to do that!

    Yeah, after a while you don't even notice it. I felt like a penguin when I first started packing and now it's just normal. Really does make a huge difference with dysphoria.

    Dude that's big, congrats!

    I recently bought my first binder. I live in an area with a sex shop that sells actual gender expression products in store, and people were surprisingly supportive. It was a great experience I was not expecting.

    Therefore banana dance: (!)

    Went to a professional function last night - the Colorado LGBT Bar Association's Judicial Reception. Tons of fellow attorney's and lots of judges, including the Chief Justice of the CO Supreme Court. Had a blast! Here's a picture of me and some friends:

    Posted my first selfie, which probably isn't even with mentioning, but my anxiety is pretty much keeping me from posting things because I'm afraid I might say something that could get me to offend or annoy someone accidently.

    I cut a few inches off my hair. So now it is a little more bearable.
