Masculine Presentation

I'm going to be talking about trans gear and trans related topics in this post.  Including binders, fake penises, and stories about standing to pee.  If you don't want to hear about any of that I suggest you skip this post.

OMG!  Where did my boobs go? 
I got my binder six weeks ago from GC2B.  I got the black half tank and it cost $37 with shipping and it took three days to arrive.  I'd heard they were hard to get into the first few times until you get the hang of it and it stretches out a bit, the first time I tried to put it on I couldn't get it on all the way and I nearly killed myself by getting it caught around my neck when I tried to take it off.  I stretched it out over a pile of books overnight and also found it easier to put it on over a t-shirt.  Now I can throw it on and off really easily and it flattens my chest quite well.  It's way more comfortable than I thought it would be as well, a bit like a hug.

I've got a cock, bro.
I have currently have three packers that I ordered online.  One by Doc Johnson, PackerGear and, Mr. Limpy.  Here's a basic run down of the packers.

Brand	Type	Bought From	Price	Notes
Doc Johnson	Lite 4 inch Vanilla	Amazon	$14	Firmest of the three Smells like vanilla, it’s not unpleasant but will be noticeable if someone is close to your crotch Shortest overall length Sits well in pants, produces a small but noticeable bulge
PackerGear	4 inch Vanilla	Tranzwear	$9.50	Shortest shaft length of the three Most realistic shaft  I’ve not yet used this to pack as I turned it into an STP and I haven’t mastered it yet Squishiest of the three
Mr. Limpy	5.5 inch Vanilla	Tranzwear	$10.50	Hangs down better than the others Most realistic balls Creates a noticeable but not obscene bulge My current favorite to pack with

STP means Stand-to-Pee
If you don't want to hear about toileting accidents I suggest you skip this part.  A while ago I wanted to learn to STP so I made one.  I used the medicine spoon method which let me say was a complete disaster.  I tried for a week and just ended up covered with piss every time, it just didn't fucking work.  It's a good idea to practice in the shower and I'm quite happy I listened to that advice.  The spoon really wasn't working and after looking around online I came across a bottle nipple type contraption with tubing.  I didn't have tubing but I did manage to attach a nipple to the medicine spoon and use it far more successfully in both the shower and at the toilet.  So successfully in fact that I decided I was ready to try without removing all of my clothing which as you can imagine ended badly because why would I expect anything different?  There was urine everywhere and my mother was all pissed off because she had just replaced the rugs in the bathroom.   

It was at that point I decided to order a proper STP tubing and packer,  I got my STP tubing and nipple apparatus already assembled from Tranzwear for $12, you could buy them individually for cheaper and assemble them yourself but I figured since I didn't know what I was doing best to leave it to them.  You could also get an already assembled STP but it was a bit more expensive and I figured how hard could it be to shove a hole in a fake dick.  So it took about 3 weeks to arrive, there is a 7-10 business day processing time.  I saw some videos on how to do it and it didn't look that hard (but of course it was).  Basically you heat up a metal poker and then shove it through the packer so you can put the tubing in.  What could possibly go wrong?  Well the first time I shoved it through it went in crooked, came out the side and I burnt the fuck out of my fingertips.  It went in straight on the next try but it took forever to get the tubing through.  You're supposed to pull the stick out, spread the packer open and run water through it so the hole doesn't seal up.  I don't know if I was doing it wrong or what but it took fucking forever.  It actually turned out pretty well though and I can pee out of it way better than my medicine spoon contraption.  Still working on mastering it, so for now I've been doing it in the shower.  

I'll be right with you, sir.
Which is what the cashier at the dollar store said to me three weeks ago as I was waiting to check out.  First time anyone ever addressed me as a male and it made me super happy.  I'm sure I was smiling like an idiot.  Then over the past week a man at the Anderson's addressed me as 'young man' and when I took my grandmother to the casino the checker almost didn't let me in because I look nothing like my ID and he didn't believe I was the same person.  I don't generally use public bathrooms but yesterday I was sent to the store by my mother and ended up touching a gross thing and needed to wash my hands.  I went to the women's bathroom because I've only been out for a while and I don't pass as a man.  So I'm washing my hands and a woman comes out of the stall.  She looked at me for a second and told me I was in the wrong bathroom and I didn't belong in there.  lol.  I guess I pass better than I think.
