Alright so I’m ordering my freetom prosthesis this coming Thursday, will take a while to make and ship so when it arrives I’ll do a review on my first impressions, then I’ll use it for a week and report back.
My wife marriedtoatransman also says she will report back on how she feels the use for sexual purposes is – without too much detail haha.

Reblog from the Wife
Sorry for the absence, I am not a very creative writer and have been unsure of what to write about so please, suggest topics!
Today in Australia it is RUOK? Day. This day is designed to encourage people to openly discuss mental health and to remind us to check in on our fellow humans.
In my experience people who are Trans or gender diverse have higher levels of mental health concerns, not because of their gender but because of societies push for the binary, to pigeon hole you into a gender role and to ensure you adhere to its stereotypes. This negatively impacts on society as a whole and is something I have witnessed with Little K and with TMD.
We live in rural Australia where men are men and the women obey…. well that’s definitely how it feels sometimes. I find it disturbing how in this town men are expected to be stereotypically masculine and have seen TMD struggle with his personal beliefs as a feminist and the pressure to conform to what locals expect of him. I too struggle with this as I’m a strong, proud woman who doesn’t like people doing things for me that I can do for myself and yet at the same time, I know that by allowing TMD to do “masculine” things for me, it gives him a sense of manly-ness and also impacts on how others view him.
Little K has been raised to know that gender is social construct and that what he likes does not have to be restricted by what is traditionally boys or girls. Unfortunately due to the stigma and real fears for his safety, we have had to tell Little K to not disclose his love of My Little Pony to his country friends. I do hope that Little K does not internalise this as we have told him it is because the culture of this town and the lack of social progression but still, as a parent, I worry.
I remember when I started at my local job, my boss insisted on having one blue chair for boys and a pink one for girls and I tried to open a dialogue about the social construction of gender and the horrendous pressure this puts on children to which she replied “please don’t liberate me today”. This to me is indicative of how locals see gender and enforce their views on my family.
I do have to giggle though, as to outsiders, I am such a “traditional” woman. I love to cook, sew, crochet, garden, dance, sing, create and genuinely love caring for and nurturing my family. It wasn’t until I let go of the construct of female with which I was raised that I was able to truly explore and enjoy these traditionally feminine past times without feeling like I was perpetuating a stereotype.
So on this RUOK? Day, I ask are you OK? Do you do the things you want because they make you happy or are you trying to fit an uncomfortable social construct that isn’t you?
Isolation.
It’s a funny thing when you finally get what you want. There’s always something more to aim for, something more to “get”.
That’s what I’m finding lately; besides lower surgery, which seems unobtainable until we buy a house and pay off the mortgage – I feel as though I’ve arrived at the state of simply male.
Yet I find myself yearning for contact with other guys like me, even though each and every single time I’ve been to a group or something specifically for the category of man in which I reside – something nags at me the entire time and I find myself leaving frustrated.
I don’t quite know how to articulate the feelings I’ve been having, but I can hear quiet echoes of my sentiments ebb and flow across tumblr. This is comforting, albeit sad.
In a town where even gay people go “stealth” – for thier literal saftey as much as piece of mind – this whole rigamarole feels wrong. Ungrateful somehow?
It was Father’s Day here yesterday (Sunday) and I had a fantastic day.
K made me an awesome card at school, and bought me a mug that says “Dad of the Year” on it. My Wife and K also got me a new axe, which was sorely needed seeing as when I split wood on Saturday I cut my hand on the splintered handle of the old axe. Alongside a metal Chevrolet sign for my garage and a new knife steel. My Wife joked that the knife steel is more a present for her, so I can hone her kitchen knives.
We had a lovely day doing not much – as per my request – and lazing about in the sunshine eating good food, telling stories and watching K play on our property.
Life as a transsexual rugby playing carpenter.
This article in the Australian news renews my hope for future conversations regarding men with transsexualism.
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.
Freetom Prosthetics.
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.
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.
is there any packer that you can have intercourse with?
Yes, the Peecock has the ability to insert a rod in order for use during intercourse.
I’m not too sure if there are others – any followers feel like chiming in?
