It’s annoying that my recent realizations about my gender issues being hugely about childhood standards, not really about my gender, is *another* thing like “I have a penis and like touch there” “I hate my beard and body hair,” “I definitely like presenting/being referred to as female sometimes” which places me as some variety of trans, but *doesn’t* tell me if I should try HRT, etc to transition further. If that makes sense?

@Leucrotta Yeah! That makes sense.

And if you decide you like being female you absolutely do /not/ have to ditch the penis to be More Female! Heck, one of my headmates is female with a penis (presenting with one in-head, I mean, our dirtspace body having a penis is kinda irrelevant). There's lots of ways to be any gender! :3

(There are penis-preserving vaginoplasties too, which apparently no one talks about because Gender Norms.)

@frost I've met someone with one. I've been thinking if I ever wind up going as far as GRS that's the direction I want to go, because I'm getting OLD, and about the last thing I really want to do is fuck with my urinary tract when older.
