  • If it makes you feel any better, it’s not fuck EVERYONE, just anybody that would infringe on your right to your own body.

    I get it, though. My orchiectomy was very symbolic for me, taking control of my own existence. Before that, I constantly felt like any major life decision I would have to run by everyone in my life to make sure I was being sensible by their standards. But my friends don’t really want to make my decisions for me, and they don’t feel the dysphoria that I feel. It’s been really freeing to TELL my friends what I’m doing instead of asking for some awkward social permission.


  • I’ve only gotten an orchi and don’t plan to get a vaginoplasty, but I’m also not really in the dating scene. No one treats me any differently except for myself. I’m a lot more comfortable in my body and thus more comfortable expressing myself and my gender. There are definitely people who desire me carnally, and anyone who cares whether or not I have balls is really too cooked to be with me anyway.




  • I’ve been gravitating towards two brands for skin care: The Ordinary and Prequel. They’re both relatively inexpensive and fairly straightforward. I wash my face with a gentle cleanser (right now it’s Prequel Gleanser) and apply moisturizer (The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Phytoceramides) and sunscreen (Prequel’s physical sunscreen, I forget the name). Swap those out as you see fit, but that’s a basic routine. If your skin is dry, maybe apply twice a day.

    If you want to grow from there, find a toner you like and apply it before the moisturizer. Finding a good one takes time, because it takes a while to make a difference. That gows on at night, ideally.

    As for body, the basics are very similar, but people usually find different products for their body. Because face skin is more sensitive, face prodicts are usually more expensive.

    There is a lot of variety in products, so you might try a few products before you find what you like, but it’s so nice when you find it.
