amnesiatits asked: when you apply testosterone cream, do you have to measure/weigh it out, or do you just kind of guess, or is there a pump or something that gives you a certain amount, or what? I've been thinking about using cream for T and I am really curious about that. Thanks so much!

Product Review: Classix Strap-On
This was the first “strap-on” cock I ever used. The person I was with had bought it as a cheap all-in-one alternative to purchasing a harness and cock separately. The product is unique in that the cock is completely hollow on the inside, allowing people who have difficulty sustaining an erection to use this as an aid during sexual activities. The dual purpose aspect of it is neat and...

I got called “boss” again today. Explicitly gendered interactions with strangers are weird.

Anonymous asked: I don't know if this means anything, and I'm sure it's not intentional, but I found it funny/interesting that in the first picture of you and Kate, your head is slightly down and her head is slightly up, and in the second picture, her head is slightly down and your head is slightly up. Mirrored pictures!

Art of Transliness: On Partial Transition and/or... →
artoftransliness:
Recently we’ve received a lot of questions about partial transition and/or transitioning without identifying as male or transgender. Neither of us are medical doctors or have personal experience with partial transition, but we know of a few people who have undergone this experience and thought we’d share what we do know about it.
1. You CAN get top surgery without having...

when you go to the beach or to swim, what do you...
It depends. If I’m with people I feel comfortable with and at a beach (or any other body of water) that isn’t too crowded, I’ll just wear swimming trunks (like in this picture). If I’m with people I’m not very “out” to and in a populated area, I’ll wear swimming trunks and a rash guard shirt with a binder underneath (like in this picture).
Ask me...

Trans* Friends
I’ve known Kate since we were in Kindergarten. We befriended one another in high school, dated for 3 1/2 years, attended colleges in the Hudson Valley region of New York, and both came out as trans* during adulthood.
Kate usually prefers not to subscribe to any particular gender non-conforming labels, but has described herself as a “genderqueer trans lady” and uses...

Product Review: Hitachi Magic Wand
Revered as “the Cadillac of Vibrators”, this product certainly lives up to that title. The Hitachi Magic Wand has been a bedroom essential for MC and I since we first purchased it in 2008. The purpose of our acquisition was to assist MC in experiencing her first clitoral orgasm, as the other battery-operated vibrators we had tried just were not powerful enough. Well, the Hitachi was...
Anonymous asked: I just wanted to say you're a really big inspiration to me, being genderqueer and going on T and everything. I'm only 13, but experience lots of dysphoria, but when I come to your blog I get hope that one day I will be seen as the person I am. Thank you for that. :)

Farewell, Testosterone Patches
Today I spoke with Gal Meyer, the physician from Callen-Lorde who contacted me a week ago after reading about my difficulty in accessing my testosterone patch prescription. He explained to me that Androderm recently changed their dosing regimen, were on back order, and would only be available through Callen-Lorde’s pharmacy in the future for hundreds of dollars per month rather than the $12...

Goodbye/Hello Binder?
I’m going to be putting one of my binders into retirement after today. It’s very worn, a hand-me-down from my buddy who had top surgery, and no longer gives me a satisfactory profile. I want it to continue to serve a purpose for someone else, though. Since it’s so stretched out, maybe someone who usually wears a size “S” (it’s a size XS tri-top) in Underworks...

Sweet Dreams
Every now and then, I experience sexual dreams in which I get off in some way or another. These nocturnal climaxes always feel spectacular and very vivid. I often wake up wondering if my body physically had an orgasm while I was slumbering or whether my brain was able to fabricate the sensations of one.

One Month on Testosterone Patches
I have experienced some subtle changes since beginning testosterone patches a month ago. The majority of these changes have felt very internal, such as an increase in appetite, energy, and sex drive. The only visible, physical change that I have noticed is more pimples on my face. Perceptually, I don’t think my voice has changed much, though it has had some instances of cracking, usually...

Another Callen-Lorde Complication
For those of you who don’t know, Callen-Lorde is the clinic I go to in Manhattan to get testosterone. I am so grateful that this LGBT-friendly center exists at such a convenient proximity to me and will forever be appreciative of how they helped me access testosterone when I had no insurance and was making just above minimum wage to get by.
That being said, it’s unfortunate that...

Treeboi: PeeCock Review - Not very impressed. →
treeboi:
I’ve now tried out all the functions of my pee-cock, think a review is in order.
I had thought that the pee-cock was a good cheap alternative to a prosthetic. I really liked the idea of being able to just put a rod in and have a hard-on. I hoped that it would be the last cock I would buy. Sadly that is not the case.
Oh and I had the medium size, thought that is worth mentioning.

Ob-Gyns: Prepare to Treat Transgender Patients →
An article from the December issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
I’m really glad to see this put out there. Hopefully there will also be a movement toward allowing people with “male” markers on their health insurance to have their OB-GYN visits covered. I know for a fact that my current insurance will only reimburse for OB-GYN appointments if the patient is listed as female.

Just shaved the tops of my thighs so that I can have another location to put my T patches. That might have been the hairiest razor I’ve ever seen.

Treeboi: Turned my boxers into a harness! →
treeboi:
Thought I should share some pictures. I adapted a pair of boxers so that they could comfortably hold my pee-cock. For those that don’t know a pee-cock is a 3-in-1, you can pack, piss and play with it.
It only cost me a couple of quid to do, and works amazingly for peeing, I’ve not tried having sex using my boxer harness yet, but I am confident that it’s going to work just fine.
