    My partner and I are going in to get our marriage license this week, so my name will be legally changed soon and I'll be able to get my ID and other information changed by November. Granted it's going to be a pain in the ass to have my case worker re-mail me my forms to bring to the DMV, but it's so worth it. I'm also hoping that because of the new state laws, I'll be able to get my birth certificate changed soon too and see if I can get top surgery covered.

    I tried the tucking thing I hear about. It'll take some time to get used to having it in that position, but OMG! it feels so much more "right" down there...I actually forgot I had a penis for a few minutes.

    it all depends on what you are wearing when you do. most panties from say la vie en rose or la senza, will help with that. they wont help with a full tuck but almost one. which is good most days.

    Glad some of you girls can do it. I can't stand it. Which is probably why I wear skirts a lot.

    Sports tape is what I used to keep it all "together," and it worked great. Didn't even hurt taking it off. I had on a pair of legging, though they're from the men's department, so they aren't so tight down there. I just pulled tight and rolled down a bit at the waist.

    Will look into those two places, cause I'm looking to get at least one pair of panties soon.


    It did start to get a bit uncomfortable after a couple hours, which I think is good for my first time.

    I think I'll wear skirts/dresses A LOT just so I can avoid it though. Not being able to pee is not fun. One of the reasons I can see it being an issue for long periods of time.

    Got told I'm built like a brick shithouse by a stranger, so that's good!

    I mean, I'm not that big....maybe I don't need tape?

    And I ordered some panties from Aerie!(7 for $27.50!)....does it count if I clicked "include gift receipt" so they don't judge me when they pick the order?

    Oh wow.....I'm in a state where I'm not sure whether to cut my hair into a pixie.

    I have really nice hair and I'm not a bad-looking girl... Truth be told, I'm probably trans, demiboy, or andro of some sort.

    It's really interesting to me that - while I wish I had no breasts and occasionally bind - trans ladies have the exact same problem, just somewhere else.

    I currently call myself a lesbian, though I guess if I am trans, that'd make me straight. Either way, I love women (yes, that includes you). Screw anyone who says you're not a real woman.

    Tucking with tape is not the only way to tuck. you can buy/make panties which will do a great job tucking, and when you need to go you just take em off and put em on again. i use them all the time, works great

    I've heard about those. The ones you buy are pricey, but I'll look into fashioning my own.

    And I know there's gaffs and stuff too. Like I said, I'm new to the tucking thing, so I'm going to try some different ways.

    Little advise though, don't wear them all night, in the day time it's no problem but if you wear them at night too it's going to hurt....

    Great feeling, isn't it?

    ---------- Post added 20th Oct 2016 at 12:13 AM ----------

    As for nice hair... f.. that. It's far more important to feel good in your own skin than to have "nice" hair. Do you know how much my family complained? About my hair.

    I never tuck over night, I know that's a terrible idea. The great part about being tucked is I never get a boner in that state, which is awesome.

    At a restaurant with my family, when the hostess gave my my menu, she said, "Here you go, sir." I didn't say anything bc I'm not out to anyone, but I couldn't help but grin.
