Yes, I do.
I do this because urine is not sterile once it leaves the body and I like to make sure whatever I am sticking in my Wife’s junk is clean.
It also makes cleanup afterwards easier.

Make sure you use water based lube and condoms with water based lube only.

Haha, don’t sweat it. Happens to me all the time with medical professionals. And then I tend to have to convince them that yes, I am actually trans.

We’re well on our way to a house and land deposit. Going to buy something with a good chunk of land and a fixer-upper house. I just can’t see how I can pay it off without working within the system.
I dream of switching fields to a trade.

Keep on keeping on man.

I can’t speak for the majority of Doctors as I am not a medical professional.

But I seriously reccomend seeing a gyno or a GP for a lower exam prior to HRT especially for a pap, so you have a baseline for subsequent tests while on T.
It’s not easy, but it’s your health and it’s important.

I can’t help but feel I’m in the wrong industry.
I want to be outdoors and work with my hands, but that means retraining.

In other musings, I’ve been holding you all at a very deliberate arms length away for my own security. I don’t really feel that’s needed so I’m aiming to try and open up a bit more. Somehow.

what industry do you think you’d like to be in? anything in particular?

Over the past month or so I’ve been realizing how my brother and I ended up in different lives. We had really similar upbringings – I’m actually more educated than him from better institutions – yet he’s working a nice office job and I’m working a labor job. I’ve just developed a huge love/respect for the skilled trades over the years, I don’t see myself ever leaving them.

I’m really interested in welding, fabrication and mechanics in general. I’ve spent so much of my life immersed in academia and I feel like it’s a little too late.
My Father was a plumber and owned his own business, my Mother a hairdresser by trade. They wanted a “better” life for me by way of university education, and I’m damn thankful for what I’ve learned – but I still feel like it’s not really my thing.
There’s also the fact that I need to support my family and can’t really afford to go back to school. Maybe when K grows up and has his own life.

To be honest, this is something I struggle with every day.
I can’t say I’ve learned many useful techniques for dealing with this feeling, but my avoidance/supression skills are on point due to it.
You do forget occasionally though, and keeping busy with work/family helps a lot. It’s those days I try and hold on to.

Something happened today. Just now. And it’s blown me away.
All of a sudden I have a way of communicating with almost ALL of the dudes I used to converse with during early transition.
Right in the feels. So needed.

Medical transition may have an “end”, but transition is a life long process. I’m still mending some of those wounds almost a decade later. Dysphoria does not go anywhere, it merely morphs.
