So, thanks for all the really useful feedback regarding my concerns sourounding creating a youtube channel.

I think when I get my hands on a freetom prosthesis, I’ll make a video utilizing a lot of the ideas you all gave me. I won’t show my face, I’ll obscure my voice using software and I’ll basically just do a straight review.

Alongside this, I’ll also do a written and pictoral review here.

My Wife has also offered to do a small write up regarding the sexual functions of said prosthetic when it’s been used accordingly.

Loving Someone with Dysphoria

journeyintomanhood:

Whether it be a partner, child, friend, or parent watching any loved one suffer is difficult. Watching someone you love struggle with dysphoria can be extremely heart-wrenching and you may find yourself wondering what you can do or say to make it better. Here are some tips I’ve compiled based on my own experiences. 

Know you cannot fix it or make it go away 
As great at it would be there is nothing a person can say to make dysphoria simply go away. You might be able to help temporarily relieve it but it will not go away. 

Listen 
Listen to your loved one. Listen to them rant. To them cry. To them be angry. Listen. Be a safe place to listen to them. You don’t need to offer advice or solutions or reply with profound words of wisdom. You can simply be there to listen. 

Do What They Ask 
If they have asked you to use certain pronouns or a chosen name or avoid certain words to describe them, etc. then do it. It might be hard for you to adjust but you need to do it. Remember it’s not about you but it is about them. Do what they need you to do. 

Treat them as People 
Just because they are suffering from dysphoria does not mean they are not people with a variety of emotions, experiences, and personality traits. Make sure you treat as the person they are. Pay attention to all parts of their life and don’t treat them as fragile all the time. They are not their dysphoria. That is simply part of their experience.

Now all I can think about is getting my hands on (ha!) one of these prosthetics.

I wish I were getting paid sooner so I could order right now, but unfortunately you’ll all have to wait a few weeks + shipping time for the review due to my funds already being allocated for boring things such as rent, food and bills.

However I will say that I have made a few inquiries already and the customer service is not only rapid, but fantastic.

In the mean time, check out http://www.freetomprosthetics.com/ and oogle over the apparent awesomeness.

Pictoral breakdown of the “World Simplest Packy Harness”

I used a couple of shoelaces because I didn’t want to take off the harness I was wearing.

If you recognize me, please uphold my confidentiality.

I’m not even sure if this is remotely understandable.

Little K has been going really well. His tenth birthday was a short while back, and it absolutely boggles my mind.

On his birthday, he looked at me and said “Dad – In 8 years I’ll legally be an adult!”. I just about lost my mind, hah.

He’s doing well in school, and recently they learned about different types of family structures. He came home from school and announced to his Mother (I wasn’t home from work yet) that I was actually his Step-Father, and that didn’t matter because I’m still his Dad. We’d had this conversation before, but obviously the whole step-dad thing didn’t sink in. My Wife had a bit of a chat to him about it, but he was more interested in describing the types of family structures that his friends had, he found single parent families and blended families much more interesting and unique than ours.

He’s also been asking a lot of puberty related questions, which have been easily answered. Again, we’ve spoken about this prior with him however he’s much more interested in the answers this time around.

My Wife and I had our second wedding anniversary recently, and although we were both working I still managed to make it special by bringing her breakfast in bed, garden picked flowers and a card. I also got chocolates delivered to her work place.

This weekend is Father’s Day in the country I reside, and I’m very much looking forward to spending the day with my family. Hopefully there won’t be too much on in terms of planned activities and we can just take the day as it comes.

Our savings are coming along well for our house deposit, and it seems like it will all happen much faster than we anticipated. We’re in absolutely no rush though – the rental we are in is gorgeous and very reasonably priced, so the longer we save the more of a deposit we will have, thus less of a mortgage, Scary adult stuff is scary, but exciting.

K is most excited about the prospect of being able to paint his room any colour he desires.

Apologies for being so absent; I still check in occasionally, but unless there’s a question I don’t post very frequently.

I was wondering If you had a youtube page I could follow? topic idea, id you have to “come out” to your kids? Im a ftm transman thinking about taking a leap and diving into my true identity, but I have a 6mo old daughter and Im scared about how this will effect her throughout her life. thanks.

Hahaha, this kind of defeats the purpose of being completely and utterly stealth. I don’t have a youtube – nor will I ever.

I have answered your question already, though – in my FAQ which can be accessed on the side of my page.

Long story short: My Son was so not phased by it at all – he hardly brings it up and often doesn’t even remember.
