I'm a cis male, and I was laughing my ass off. Crossing your legs and crushing it is why manspreading is a thing. It is so funny to hear you describe all the things that cis boys have just dealt with. Good Luck and thanks for the laughs.
Manspreading is when it's really excessive, especially when the guy is taking up too much space on public transportation because he's pretending he needs enough crotch room for two footballs to fit between his thighs.
@@fozziebean I’ve seen people complain that a man has his feet apart. Unless you have the bits you don’t realize that sitting with your legs tightly together can become uncomfortable.
yup, that was my impression. as a CIS dude, I was like "that is what it was like" that said, I got an adult circumcision and I noticed things more than normal, even though I was CIS. so... yeah... welcome to the club bruh.
Hey anyone who goes through that much hassle for what is a mostly annoying floppy mess that has the constant intention of hurting it's human I say welcome...
Haha! I can crazy relate to the "talking about it too much" part. I had vaginoplasty 5 months ago and it seems that I've been talking about my vagina non-stop for the past 5 months.
congratulations!! I am 3 months and 22 days Post op first stage Phalloplasty and I talk about my dick alot and I also been feeling it alot to especially to have sensation early post op I'm so happy and I never felt more comfortable in my body in my whole life
Dont ever shut up...ur helping so many people whether trans or not. Ur voice speaks for many, many who r afraid to ask. And gives answers to those who don't understand. Keep preaching MISTER! LOL. LOVE U.
I'm a cis guy, I don't know if you have or will developed this but I, and other guys, have a sixth sense of things about to hit our genitals. I remember getting hit in the balls more often as a kid but I think some time around puberty I developed ninja-like reflexes for avoid testicular injury. Like a spider sense but only for my crotch. I'm interested if this is genetic or learned so maybe you'll develop that sense and that would be pretty cool!
@@sofialaya596 I'm a female who has really small boobs, so I only have to worry about my boobs hurting when someone squishes them at wrestling practice. Otherwise, my boobs don't really get in the way of doing stuff.
Girls develop this when they get boobs. You learn a whole new way of moving your arms when walking, when reaching across your body and a new way of calculating how far away things are from your chest. It only takes a few excruciating boob smacks and squishes to develop this. Pain is a cruel but efficient teacher.
StormEyes1991 apparently I skipped that ‘pain is a teacher’ gene. Don’t know how many times I’ve managed to shut a tit in the kitchen cupboard while leaning over and I still forget to be careful while not wearing a bra...
I feel like every mother of a male child should watch this, just to learn about what it's like to be a person with a penis, whether cis or trans. This actually gave me insights to male behaviour (like manspreading) that I had no real understanding of before. Thanks!
You have transitioned so well that I can't even imagine you as feminine. I'm so happy that you're no longer feeling dysphoric about your body, that's so important :D
As a cis female, this is really interesting to watch, because..well, I don't think any cis guy could explain so well what it's like to live with a penis xD and it's interesting to find out about the small everyday struggles! I feel I can understand men a little better now! Thanks for sharing!;D
Same, clicked this out of curiosity and it's really interesting to hear about all these things. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us and congrats on your new bodypart, I feel happy for you. :)
I remember in 5th grade before sex education class, I always wondered: Why do boys hurt when their kicked down there? Why don’t they sit like me? Lol 😂 I am a freshmen in High School and I am like: “Man, I know cis girls (me) have their own struggles, but I’m glad I’m not a guy. 😂
Hey can I ask a personal question I am ftm and gay and my boyfriend and I are ecstatic about my transition does everything down there work well enough for u 2
I'm 33 cis male, and I still do some of those things. Heeling myself or sitting on it especially. And though this is the first time I've ever seen one of your videos, I am very glad to hear you've gotten comfortable after the surgery. No one should hate anything about themselves like that.
I was born and male and identify as a male. I could only imagine how challenging things would have been for you. Congrats on now being able to identify yourself as a man and for getting the surgery. On the flip side, your video made me laugh as you listed all those male issues. Not that I've been in your position, but I'm fairly sure you will get used to having a ding dong and a tackle box, just give it some time, I'm sure it will start to feel natural.
As a cis man, above all other things I have to say: Thank you very much for this enlightening video, and welcome to the club. I'm just guessing here because I don't remember my first three years on earth, but I'm pretty sure that what you have lived through since your surgery is basically what male babys feel; with the difference being that you as an adult person are more aware of these things, and you have the comparison to a life without it. Other things, like the uncomfy underwear, sitting positions etc. are well known to all men. Growing up with a penis definitely helps in some cases, like accidentally hitting one's crown jewels, but in other cases it's just awkward to all of us. I had some good laughs when you talked about stuff that's so familiar to me I wouldn't even considered talking about it. Hope some women watch this, might lead to a better understanding of some of our disturbing attitudes.
@Thats not how you make porridge well, for me it doesnt only if its SUFFOCATING tight underwear which i dont like... i dont like either too baggy underwear neither too tight like a perfect mix but still stuff goes everywhere
I'm a cis female as well but I always want to learn more about the trans community. I also watch stef sanjati (spelling?) A MTF transgender. Theres so much people can learn about others.
Don't say cis. It's a made up gen x imposed distinction. Let trans people say it, but straight up regular heteros don't need to say that when describing themselves. All that said, I enjoyed this video. I'm just a person, but thank you, Jaimie for sharing your journey.
May I add that, yes sitting with our legs spread a little is more comfortable for us, but also man spreading is literally not needed. Like, far apart. We, you, can sit without crossing our legs but also without spreading to all seats next to us.
I'm glad this is a normal thing in the community. I used to talk about my vaginoplasty all the time. And now that I'm comfortable with myself I make a lot of peen jokes and my partner keeps telling me that no longer applies to me. Love it.
As an AMAB person, I would like to say that it's more of an instinct to avoid getting hit in/hitting your nuts, but at the same time, you develop a great talent to avoid that protective instinct, more often than not, hitting yourself while trying not to hit yourself. Or maybe that's just me...
You literally got new genitals constructed, it's not in any way odd that you have a need to talk about it! I love your brand of being this really shy and innocent person and at the same time just always talking about your penis XD
@Bonidee Lee Dr. John Money also worked at Johns Hopkins University and conducted the Reimer experiment. I've read a lot about both of them and they both lie in journals and to the people about the research they do. These two men are only part of a small fraction of scientists who believe that gender dysphoria doesn't exist. There have been many studies which concluded that it does.
The amount of love and support (especially from Cis men) is astonishing and I am beyond happy for you! I really love your videos, you are always kindly educating people about things and generally seem very patient. I wish you best of luck in your life
Cis female from the US again. Don't think I mentioned it before but I am a nurse and find your videos very educational. It helps me broaden my knowledge of trans issues. I've been doing a lot of additional research on metoidioplasty. Considering ALL you went through, I am surprised that you didn't go for lengthening the urethra. They can also use the labia minora tissue instead of buccal tissue to form the longer urethra. There is a very low incidence of complications from this and are repaired quite easily if they do occur. Just saying you were so sore "down there" I doubt you would have been in any more pain and you had a catheter in place anyway. Are you ever going to consider a hystero-oophorectomy in the future? I have read that long term use of testosterone can lead to uterine prolapse. Also by removing the ovaries the level of testosterone can be reduced. Enjoy your new penis! Be proud and talk about it. You are getting used to a new body part. Think about how when a baby boy discovers his penis for the first time he is very curious about it and regularly checks to see if it is still there. I am not saying you are infantile, by any means, but as a mother if two men and a woman I am very used to a male's love of his penis, as he should be, through all stages of growth. Oh yes, some of the numbness will fade after time. I had three c-sections in 4 years all using the same incision line and was incredibly numb in the general area for several years. Peripheral nerves can and do regenerate.
@cockstrong3333 - Really no need to thank me, but you are most welcome. In my opinion, bigotry is founded in not being educated and fear. I choose to educate myself as much as possible, the day I stop learning will be the day I die. As far as fear goes, I am only fearful of that which can truly harm me and the LGBTI community isn't one of those things. People are just people, love is love, and bodies come in all shapes and sizes.
Tami Corwin I think I remember him saying he didn’t want the lengthening because of the extra surgery and healing, he had a rough time with the original surgery as it is.
@@EarthAirFireWaterSpirit - Yes, he still has ovaries, uterus, and a vagina. He still gets a period from time to time as well. He did a video about the relatively new "period underpants".
As several others have already said, welcome to the club, dude! They're strange and wonderful things to have. I can relate a little bit, I think, as I remember puberty when mine and its accoutrements decided they wanted to grow about 4-5x bigger. There was very rapidly much more to manage and it was the little things you mentioned. Sitting became more of a controlled descent. Walking revealed independent motion going on. More mass meant more heat which meant more sweat. Tighter underwear becomes restrictive and that can cause an anxious near-panic until you adjust. It has a mind of its own and can go exploring (within limits). Wait till you find your little guy poking out your boxers (if you ever wear them). They're escape artists. Take care of your little guy and enjoy your time together. I think you'll find you have a lot in common. And hopefully you never learn what it feels like to unexpectedly dip your balls in toilet water.
I am just going to say, not to be rude or anything, that he gets an erection a bit different than you. As in, he can control it. Like only he can make himself have one and he makes it go away too. I'm not going to go into details, but you can look it up if you want.
This video just popped up in my suggestions but even though im a "cis female", i actually always wanted to know how others who have had this surgery feel about it and the whole process, because i feel like it must be pretty hard to get used to the change. I really enjoyed your video and you seem like such a genuine friendly person, im so glad that you are happy and that you shared this story. I never even thought about half of these things since i dont have a p3nis, but this was so interesting to hear. So thank you for sharing this with us :)
I'm a cis guy who had surgery as a 13-year-old to correct testicular torsion, and a circumcision at 20, so, can relate to uncomfortable recoveries and weird stiches/swelling! Your leg crossing etc. experiences sound typical. Thank you for sharing your experiences :)
I really appreciate your honesty about all your surgeries and how it's affected you. I've never thought about how it would actually feel to have a penis or be without breasts so this video has really given me an appreciation for all bodies. I quite enjoy these videos and you! Thank you for being so open when you don't have to be. ❤️
I'm not trans and I don't think I actually know someone who is but I love watching your videos. It's very educational. Thank you for openly talking about it and sharing all this with us :) (is "educational" a word ? I'm not sure anymore. I'm not english, sorry ^^)
All this reminded me of was one of my trans male friends back in high school. He started his transition when I was a senior, so as I went through the year with him he would always come to me being all excited about the next step (binders, hormones, etc.) because even though it was annoying to him, it was a step closer to being who he was. My favorite was the day after he ordered his packer and he just ran up to me yelling "Rebecca look at my penis oh my god It's coming. Becca my penis is coming." Which was admittedly kind of funny to hear. Proud of him though, he's such a sweet soul.
This is so helpful, I'm at the beginning of my transition and I'm planning to fully transition and I can't wait. Thanks for making this video dude! Trans to trans :)
Now this transition, is phenomenal. This gives me so much hope for my trans partner and him becoming the best man he could be; seeing how well your transition went puts a lot of my fears of something going wrong for him out.
Thanks for telling us about your *pEEner* In all seriousness, though, I appreciate these videos. They're super informative and make me less nervous and more excited about the future. I wish you and Shaaba the best!!
I love that your sharing how comfortable you are with the discomfort of your penis. And it's so informative to understand how my boyfriend feels all the time. Thanks for the awkward but refreshing lesson!
At first i thought you were a gender reassigning surgeon, not someone who had gone under it. I hope its not offensive, but i really never would have known you were transgender. Even after you said you were i was a bit confused. Your voice sounds great and your a very attractive man! Im glad your feeling alot better about things and your getting used to everything after!
@@nephyxutune well, it depends on the trans person. a lot of trans people want to pass, and others just want to exist however they're comfortable with e.g some trans men like wearing makeup/ some trans women like having a beard. every trans person has an individual journey/goal.
As a straight woman I found this video fascinating! The fact that you can be so candid about something that is quiet awkward & uncomfortable is fantastic!
I love how the basic idea of this video is "Dicks get in the way". xD it's a normal thing bro, welcome to the penis club. Here's a question from a cis guy with no transgender friends to ask IRL... do you handle yours all the time? Because I handle my junk constantly, without realizing it. Haha. Anyways, ignore the question if it's asking TMI. Subbed, I look forward to the next video!
This video popped up and as a straight female I just clicked on it outta pure curiosity.. My comment tho is as follows: dude your chair is f'in awesome! Where u get it? Congrats on ur new worm btw.
Fascinating to hear your perspective! As a cisgender male, I can see how I've adapted over decades and I'm sure you've heard it before, but experimenting with a wide range of underwear choices is NOT frivolous. I find that I like a softer-fabric version of some of the anatomical pouch-type briefs and boxers from Andrew Christian (and many others) keeps my equipment safely but not restrictively secured. I'm fond of Andrew Christian's "Almost Naked" line, favoring a stretchy all-cotton fabric to their many space-age, sleeker fabrics. And it makes total sense that having external genitalia for the first time in your life is going to present all kinds of inconveniences just for the daily unfamiliarity of its presence. I'd encourage you to not take it for granted, to recognize that it's (now) a part of you-your body-and that it can be damaged just like any other part of you. I'm interested in hearing about the financial part of the journey. A few years ago, I was on a discussion panel with a trans guy and he was very clear that, at the time, bottom surgery was "incredibly expensive and a lot to pay for something that doesn't work." Without asking you about the functionality of your penis, I'm specifically curious about how money played into the decision to get it, if you did get insurance coverage of any kind and if the expense initially dissuaded you from taking this step. Thank you for sharing your story!
I haven't had any surgeries yet, just a tiny bit of bottom growth from T (almost 5 months now) and I'm experiencing some of what you're talking about already - definitely the feeling of squishing things that weren't there to be squished before. It's weird but also kind of awesome.
The worst is when you shaved a few days ago and its growing back. And its poking u cause you no longer have the protection of the hood (if you've got one. I think some dont?) 🤣💀
@@Kleineganz what's your dose? I started mine really small cause I was 17 and went up really slow to better mimic puberty and I dont think mine has grown as much as most and I'm almost 21 a few months ago I was upped to .6 a week after learning my body fights it off more than others.
@@dlcdaniel705 I'm getting an injection of 200 mg/mL (or 1mL) every 2 weeks. I'm much older (47), and on the cusp of menopause, so my body's reactions will be different.
@@Kleineganz ah, we take the same amount now (half a mL every week for me) I'm hoping it's the right dose for my body. I've had very slow results but my doctors think going slower and having slower results can lead to better end results so I'm hoping that my end results blow my mind! Lol. I've had my dose changed I think 4 or 5 times since I started T just trying to find the right dose. And I think that also might have halted some changed for a few small weeks maybe even months. My facial hair is still soft and my voice isnt as low as I think itll be. And i think it's a result of my dose changing so much in the last 3 years and being on like .1-.2 for the first year. I'm hoping I grow a bit more down there so I dont have to deal with the itchiness lmao.
Holy cow... I googled how this surgery is performed cause I'm a curious potential med student, and its kinda fascinating! Amazing how we've found such innovative ways to make people's lives that much better. Good luck! You're brave and amazing and valid and I hope your journey from here on out is amazing.
Congratulations. You are learning how to handle something that comes naturally to cis guys. It's all part of growing up for boys - what to do with your penis. The most important advice is that if you go without underpants, PLEASE be aware of the zipper.
I'm a FTM as well and this video actually has helped me understand what someone like me as gone through to get bottom surgery. Thank you so much for easing some of my fears about it
I absolutely love the way you talk about the process of sitting down at around 5:45 😂 I don‘t think I have ever heard anyone phrase it like that and it makes my heart go whoooosh for you 🥰
You're still in the process of healing...give time !!! dont use tight underwear until you feel confortable with ...crossing legs, feeling the "thing" when driving, it moves...thats a good sign (lol) : well... WELCOME TO MENS WORLD...you are a very BRAVE dude !!
Honestly I'm glad you're talking about it so much because it's something that's mostly just in the dark for a lot of folks since I guess people are embarrassed or whatever. So thank you. I've learned more from you than literally anywhere else
This video randomly showed up in my feed, you rock dude. Props to you for being so open about it! Wish you all the best on your journey with your newfound peen
I think the way you talk about your post surgery, and getting used to your "new body" is hilarious and you are very open about evereything, which I am sure helps others, who have no one to ask questions about what they are thinking or feeling. So just keep being YOU ! And if you you want to talk about your penis, well why wouldn't you, it's all brand new to you. You didn't have yours as long as those born with one. I have to admit before watching a few of your videos how much was involved, emotionally, and the amount of pain involved, so after all you have gone through, I personally feel you have earned the right to talk about your penis if you want to. Now all that being said, I am a straight woman, and I just happened upon your surgery video, and also being a nurse, who knew almost nothing about " bottom surgery" I found you to be funny, and very real about your feelings, sharing the good as well as the sad, and always VERY INFORMATIVE. You, explaining things in your own way, really gives me an insight I wouldn't have gotten otherwise, so I am happy you shared such an intimate part of your life, and I love that you are so open and honest, with a dash of your humour, about all of the changes of your expereience. And I will be watching your videos, I love your personality, so thanks for giving me insight in a way that I wouldn't otherwise have. You have helped me understand what it is truly like to do this. So I thank You , and it WILL help others understand better also. I wish you and your penis a long and happy life !
As a cis guy, most of these are totally relatable. I’ve been taken down by brushing crumbs off my leg before. There will be a day (if you haven’t had it yet) where you nail yourself and think “there’s no way any other guy has balltapped himself like this”. I can assure you, most of us probably have.
And i will say you are spot on with the having to get used to the "added mass" thing. As a trans woman now having been on E for more than 5 years now I still have times where I run my chest into something and have that reaction of oh yeah there is something there now. I actually naturally grew to somethere between a B and a C so yeah they can get in the way and suprise me from time to time. Doesn't affect me as much as it did when the girls were new but yeah "added mass" takes getting used to and really can suprise you from time to time. TTFN! ❤️
Cis male here... I full on punched myself in the junk once trying to block the cat from jumping in my lap. My wife laughed her ass off and texted her friend about it while I rolled on the floor in pain. Just wait until you get it caught in a zipper. It happens sometimes and it's the worst pain there is.
You are amazing, and I'm glad you are happy! I agree with your comments, it can be uncomfortable! I remember all the items you are discussing when I was a teenager. I'm so happy for you and support you in all ways! We are all human and all deserve to have a happy and enjoyable life! Congrats on all of your progress! You are an inspiration, even to me, a cis male person! :) Have a great day!
The funny thing is the vast majority of these points could've come out of a Cis person! As a Cis man I can say that all of these points are completely natural. Congrats on a successful surgery!!
Boxer briefs ftw. If your underwear is too tight, get the right size. Boxers are just shorts you wear underneath other pants? Whyyy. And they're usually made from the coarsest material. They just bunch up unless you wear pants that are hella baggy (which would explain why that style took off). Could you imagine if people's solution to overlarge socks was to wear even more overly large socks underneath those ones?
Great series! I've been waffling about getting lower surgery because I'm afraid of the pain. I see my doctor in a few days and I'm going to talk about it with him. I want it, but its scary! Top surgery wasn't scary at all since I'd had a breast reduction before, but this is totally new, and I'm working so I have to take a lot of time off as well. Thanks again for this great series!
Everytime I watch your videos I get ridiculously jealous of you and how far you are in your transition and yet I'm constantly doubting myself. :-/ ... Well, anyway, I love your videos they're helping me a lot.
@@herpline269 If you've had balls your entire life, I'm sure you can find a comfortable position to sit without making the ones sit next to you uncomfortable. If you can't, then you should't be sit next to other people.
Aesthetic Unicorn The way men are built makes it uncomfortable for more than just their balls, their hips aren't as wide as women's which also makes it more uncomfortable for them to push their legs together even if they didn't have balls. Besides women take up a whole seat with their purse. I really don't see how men spreading their legs to be comfortable is a problem
@@herpline269 like I said, it IS a problem when you make OTHER PEOPLE uncomfortable. And also like I said, they had their bodies for their entire lifes, I'm sure they can find a comfortable position to sit and not invade other people's personal space. I have taken buses and trains literally all my life, and I've sit next to men who spread their legs like they are in their couch at home watching TV. Other men just sit nornally occupying their own seat. I understand when people (men and women) are bigger so clearly they need more space. But if you are not, and you realize that there's another human being next to you, then you are just being a dick.
Honestly, I think a lot of transphobia could be helped if there were more informative resources about being transgender, if people could learn and grow instead of being afraid to ask questions and taught which questions are okay to ask and which aren't. I love the informative vibe of this video and I hope you make more like this!! Much love xoxo
The science of it all seriously fascinates me. like what a time to be alive where we can change a person this much and construct freakin genitals. incredible. Im curious, is it constructed completely from flesh? or does it include foreign object inserts and implants?
With the procedure I had (metoidioplasty), it is all created from what genitals you already have, so it's just a reconfiguration. The penis (testosterone enlarged clit that now resembles a small penis) is released from a ligament that allows it to sit freely and in the same position a cis penis would, and the scrotum is created from the outer labia (then the testicles are implants). With the other type of lower surgery, phalloplasty, the penis is created from a grafted piece of skin that is taken from the arm, thigh, or abdomen. It created a larger penis, but also leaves large scarring and requires an erectile device to have erections. The same process is used for a scrotum and testicles. That is just a super brief overview, but gives you the basics!
@@Jammidodger Wow, that sounds damn complicated for doctors to be able to do. I'm so glad it's possible now, trans people like you don't have to suffer as much if they can afford it
@@Jammidodger Thank you so much for this distinction! I was not even aware of how much I didn't know. May I ask (feel no pressure to answer) if you are able to get an erection with the type of surgery that you chose? A clitoris does become erect, so that causes my curiosity. Thanks again for this video, it is so appreciated!
@Angry White Guy Nah, that's a phalloplasty penis, he has had metoidioplasty. Metoidioplasty is the one that doesn't have implants anywhere other than testicular implants and they can get natural erections.
talking about it is totally normal, developmentally. Like, parents of little boys can attest that their sons go through this weird stage where they're very aware/proud of their penis. And having lived so long with your body one way and then going through a lot to make it the way it is, makes sense that you talk about it a lot. It's part of understanding the reality for a brain that didn't evolve to have something like that happen.
you are awesome - as a 72 yr old cis guy, I think you're incredible and what you've done astounding. Don't put yourself down about talking about your transition. It's phenomenal for us to hear about it and to travel through the process with you. I guess I grew up in a different world all those years ago, but I feel privileged to be able to follow your transformation and to hear and see your speak with such openness and candour. Love.
Being a biological man, I can tell you it's always kind of weird to have a penis, especially depending on your size and grooming habits. For instance, last week or so I groomed and when I do that, I shave certain parts so that they're completely hairless. This includes the inside of my thighs, close to my balls. So I went out wearing some tight briefs but due to my size, they don't keep everything inside well enough. As a result, I had to deal with my shaved balls touching my shaved inner thighs all day long and that was hella uncomfortable. The heel thing also happens to me, but that happens far less often. Sometimes, even sitting can be uncomfortable, especially if I'm wearing loose boxer briefs (I'm so skinny that none of my boxer briefs are tight even though they're supposed to be), cuz then the dong escapes to one side or the other and fixing that in public is neither easy or comfortable. So make sure your tight undies actually keep everything in place. That's my advice anyway.
I have had one of these things my whole life and let me say that I have personally felt every single point you discussed here... Sounds like you're getting the full experience and I hope that all goes very well for you!
It's amazing to me, as a pre-opp trans girl. I've lived as a female for about 25 years and I started when I was 17. I am blown away and what has changed in the past 20 years ! You look fantastic and I've seen some amazing transformations thru the years🙂 I have considered and expected to eventually have the full surgery but in the past 10 years I've become comfortable with where I am but I truly admire those who take that extra step to be complete. I only imagine what the future will allow 💛💛💛
You were inspirational for me!! I am not trans but I was experiencing dysphoria with my chest, I went into surgery a few weeks after you so it felt comforting seeing someone else heal as I was also healing.
dude. if i was born without arms and then got arms i would never shut up about it.
//an odd metaphor but you get it//
I was born with Legs, recently got them amputated - And I never shut up about all the little things I never thought about ahaha
I was born without an lightsaber arm, an now I have a lightsaber arm. You'll here me stop talking about it when you slit my throat.

Dont ever shut up...ur helping so many people whether trans or not. Ur voice speaks for many, many who r afraid to ask. And gives answers to those who don't understand. Keep preaching MISTER! LOL. LOVE U.
All the cis males being sweet in the comments is amazing ☺️
I think because the experiences are almost the same? They are taking about "(private) mans things" lol
As a cis man, for whom one of my closest friends is a Trans man, I'm also grateful for all the cis men who are cool
They are men not cis what's that term
what lol
I'm a cis guy, I don't know if you have or will developed this but I, and other guys, have a sixth sense of things about to hit our genitals. I remember getting hit in the balls more often as a kid but I think some time around puberty I developed ninja-like reflexes for avoid testicular injury. Like a spider sense but only for my crotch. I'm interested if this is genetic or learned so maybe you'll develop that sense and that would be pretty cool!
I think it's less with tits, but it's kind of similar haha. It's not a thing people tend to talk about much so it's good to be able to understand more
@@sofialaya596 I'm a female who has really small boobs, so I only have to worry about my boobs hurting when someone squishes them at wrestling practice. Otherwise, my boobs don't really get in the way of doing stuff.
I have that and I don't have a dick.
Girls develop this when they get boobs. You learn a whole new way of moving your arms when walking, when reaching across your body and a new way of calculating how far away things are from your chest. It only takes a few excruciating boob smacks and squishes to develop this. Pain is a cruel but efficient teacher.
StormEyes1991 apparently I skipped that ‘pain is a teacher’ gene. Don’t know how many times I’ve managed to shut a tit in the kitchen cupboard while leaning over and I still forget to be careful while not wearing a bra...
no please make more bottom surgery videos! no one on youtube really talks about it and it's super helpful information
I feel like every mother of a male child should watch this, just to learn about what it's like to be a person with a penis, whether cis or trans. This actually gave me insights to male behaviour (like manspreading) that I had no real understanding of before. Thanks!
Or just talk to an actual man
You have transitioned so well that I can't even imagine you as feminine. I'm so happy that you're no longer feeling dysphoric about your body, that's so important :D
As a cis female, this is really interesting to watch, because..well, I don't think any cis guy could explain so well what it's like to live with a penis xD and it's interesting to find out about the small everyday struggles! I feel I can understand men a little better now! Thanks for sharing!;D
Same, clicked this out of curiosity and it's really interesting to hear about all these things. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us and congrats on your new bodypart, I feel happy for you. :)
I remember in 5th grade before sex education class, I always wondered: Why do boys hurt when their kicked down there? Why don’t they sit like me? Lol 😂 I am a freshmen in High School and I am like: “Man, I know cis girls (me) have their own struggles, but I’m glad I’m not a guy. 😂
Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking
Yes. The struggle to sit down is real 😂😂
(Yes I'm trans)
My boyfriend tends to just tease me always saying "Aw why don't you sit down Connor??"
😂😂😂
at least you can use and i oop correctly
Hey can I ask a personal question I am ftm and gay and my boyfriend and I are ecstatic about my transition does everything down there work well enough for u 2

Welcome to the dingus club. Have fun with your dingus!
I stopped watching the try guys for this. No regrets, this is very educational and I'm excited for bottom surgery
I'm also a Try Guys fan so I can relate
That’s a huge sacrifice
hey saaame
I watched the try guys first than I watched this
I was studying when it popped up on my screen :D
I'm 33 cis male, and I still do some of those things. Heeling myself or sitting on it especially. And though this is the first time I've ever seen one of your videos, I am very glad to hear you've gotten comfortable after the surgery. No one should hate anything about themselves like that.
This old lady thinks you are wonderful and you can talk about your Mr Happy as much as you want :) I find your videos very informative
Mr Happy!! Too cute!!!
Lmao you seem sweet
bless !! have a nice day, lovely lady.
r/Wholesome
I love the doggy on your profile pic let them know they're very good
I was born and male and identify as a male. I could only imagine how challenging things would have been for you. Congrats on now being able to identify yourself as a man and for getting the surgery. On the flip side, your video made me laugh as you listed all those male issues. Not that I've been in your position, but I'm fairly sure you will get used to having a ding dong and a tackle box, just give it some time, I'm sure it will start to feel natural.
"it moves" ok this got me laughing
As a cis man, above all other things I have to say: Thank you very much for this enlightening video, and welcome to the club.
I'm just guessing here because I don't remember my first three years on earth, but I'm pretty sure that what you have lived through since your surgery is basically what male babys feel; with the difference being that you as an adult person are more aware of these things, and you have the comparison to a life without it. Other things, like the uncomfy underwear, sitting positions etc. are well known to all men. Growing up with a penis definitely helps in some cases, like accidentally hitting one's crown jewels, but in other cases it's just awkward to all of us. I had some good laughs when you talked about stuff that's so familiar to me I wouldn't even considered talking about it. Hope some women watch this, might lead to a better understanding of some of our disturbing attitudes.
“Please don’t call me gross.” Aww. Jamie, all humans are kind of gross. It’s just part of being human. No shame. 😝
Your pfp is so cute🥺😍
Running is literally the worse like it goes EVERYWHERE
@Thats not how you make porridge well, for me it doesnt only if its SUFFOCATING tight underwear which i dont like... i dont like either too baggy underwear neither too tight like a perfect mix but still stuff goes everywhere
@Thats not how you make porridge AJKS no problem ig
Same with boobs
its even harder to run or jump with boobs..😐 it feels so uncomfortable
@Thats not how you make porridge The ancient Greeks ran naked. And in New Zealand they have a naked rugby match every year.
Love you videos jamie !! I'm a cis female but still find your videos very interesting and informative. I'm also British yay x x x x
I think it's just so cool to hear about what it actually feels like! I also enjoy being educated on the subject
I'm a cis female as well but I always want to learn more about the trans community. I also watch stef sanjati (spelling?) A MTF transgender. Theres so much people can learn about others.
Kendra Stromsness I love Stef as well !
Don't say cis. It's a made up gen x imposed distinction. Let trans people say it, but straight up regular heteros don't need to say that when describing themselves. All that said, I enjoyed this video. I'm just a person, but thank you, Jaimie for sharing your journey.
@@TheMattJacks cis is not made up. If you are taking about butter and margarine you have trans fats and cis fats
"The way I sit has changed" - manspreading DOES come from something.
IKR
May I add that, yes sitting with our legs spread a little is more comfortable for us, but also man spreading is literally not needed. Like, far apart. We, you, can sit without crossing our legs but also without spreading to all seats next to us.
I'm glad this is a normal thing in the community. I used to talk about my vaginoplasty all the time. And now that I'm comfortable with myself I make a lot of peen jokes and my partner keeps telling me that no longer applies to me. Love it.
As a gay cis woman, I might say 'suck my d***' wayy too much 😅 I can relate, very much relate xd
"Hitting yourself in the junk" that's an instinct born men develop after years and years, you'll get it.
As an AMAB person, I would like to say that it's more of an instinct to avoid getting hit in/hitting your nuts, but at the same time, you develop a great talent to avoid that protective instinct, more often than not, hitting yourself while trying not to hit yourself. Or maybe that's just me...
You literally got new genitals constructed, it's not in any way odd that you have a need to talk about it! I love your brand of being this really shy and innocent person and at the same time just always talking about your penis XD
Bonidee Lee Terfism is ableism. Jamie, on the other hand, is doing what’s best for him while educating others! Well done Jamie!
SushiRoll Speaks just report the terf trash.
@Bonidee Lee Dr. John Money also worked at Johns Hopkins University and conducted the Reimer experiment. I've read a lot about both of them and they both lie in journals and to the people about the research they do. These two men are only part of a small fraction of scientists who believe that gender dysphoria doesn't exist. There have been many studies which concluded that it does.
@Bonidee Lee How about you stop with your garbage, you think the medical professional are PC because they dont adhered to your confirmation bias
I love it too. He comes off as so genuine and such a real guy
The amount of love and support (especially from Cis men) is astonishing and I am beyond happy for you!
I really love your videos, you are always kindly educating people about things and generally seem very patient. I wish you best of luck in your life
Cis female from the US again. Don't think I mentioned it before but I am a nurse and find your videos very educational. It helps me broaden my knowledge of trans issues. I've been doing a lot of additional research on metoidioplasty. Considering ALL you went through, I am surprised that you didn't go for lengthening the urethra. They can also use the labia minora tissue instead of buccal tissue to form the longer urethra. There is a very low incidence of complications from this and are repaired quite easily if they do occur. Just saying you were so sore "down there" I doubt you would have been in any more pain and you had a catheter in place anyway.
Are you ever going to consider a hystero-oophorectomy in the future? I have read that long term use of testosterone can lead to uterine prolapse. Also by removing the ovaries the level of testosterone can be reduced.
Enjoy your new penis! Be proud and talk about it. You are getting used to a new body part. Think about how when a baby boy discovers his penis for the first time he is very curious about it and regularly checks to see if it is still there. I am not saying you are infantile, by any means, but as a mother if two men and a woman I am very used to a male's love of his penis, as he should be, through all stages of growth.
Oh yes, some of the numbness will fade after time. I had three c-sections in 4 years all using the same incision line and was incredibly numb in the general area for several years. Peripheral nerves can and do regenerate.
@cockstrong3333 - Really no need to thank me, but you are most welcome. In my opinion, bigotry is founded in not being educated and fear. I choose to educate myself as much as possible, the day I stop learning will be the day I die. As far as fear goes, I am only fearful of that which can truly harm me and the LGBTI community isn't one of those things. People are just people, love is love, and bodies come in all shapes and sizes.
Tami Corwin I think I remember him saying he didn’t want the lengthening because of the extra surgery and healing, he had a rough time with the original surgery as it is.
Tami Corwin jammi didn’t have his ovaries removed???? Why?
@@EarthAirFireWaterSpirit - Yes, he still has ovaries, uterus, and a vagina. He still gets a period from time to time as well. He did a video about the relatively new "period underpants".
Tami Corwin oh wow. I wonder why he wouldn’t want them removed as the ovaries produce female hormones.
As several others have already said, welcome to the club, dude!
They're strange and wonderful things to have.
I can relate a little bit, I think, as I remember puberty when mine and its accoutrements decided they wanted to grow about 4-5x bigger.
There was very rapidly much more to manage and it was the little things you mentioned.
Sitting became more of a controlled descent. Walking revealed independent motion going on. More mass meant more heat which meant more sweat. Tighter underwear becomes restrictive and that can cause an anxious near-panic until you adjust. It has a mind of its own and can go exploring (within limits). Wait till you find your little guy poking out your boxers (if you ever wear them). They're escape artists.
Take care of your little guy and enjoy your time together. I think you'll find you have a lot in common.
And hopefully you never learn what it feels like to unexpectedly dip your balls in toilet water.

I’m laughing, shocked, amazed, and proud.
This is the best comment, I’ve ever read.
I am just going to say, not to be rude or anything, that he gets an erection a bit different than you. As in, he can control it. Like only he can make himself have one and he makes it go away too. I'm not going to go into details, but you can look it up if you want.
oddly wholesome, my favorite comment💞

The most wholesome casual way to say it. Im glad the cis guys are all like that
LOL
This video just popped up in my suggestions but even though im a "cis female", i actually always wanted to know how others who have had this surgery feel about it and the whole process, because i feel like it must be pretty hard to get used to the change. I really enjoyed your video and you seem like such a genuine friendly person, im so glad that you are happy and that you shared this story. I never even thought about half of these things since i dont have a p3nis, but this was so interesting to hear. So thank you for sharing this with us :)
I'm a cis guy who had surgery as a 13-year-old to correct testicular torsion, and a circumcision at 20, so, can relate to uncomfortable recoveries and weird stiches/swelling! Your leg crossing etc. experiences sound typical. Thank you for sharing your experiences :)
YOU'RE JUST SO CUTE PLS STOP
I really appreciate your honesty about all your surgeries and how it's affected you. I've never thought about how it would actually feel to have a penis or be without breasts so this video has really given me an appreciation for all bodies. I quite enjoy these videos and you! Thank you for being so open when you don't have to be. ❤️
This hair color is awesome.
I'm not trans and I don't think I actually know someone who is but I love watching your videos. It's very educational. Thank you for openly talking about it and sharing all this with us :)

Yes, educational is a proper English word.
I wish more people were like you tbh
Thank you so much for being open minded and nice! People like you are amazing
All this reminded me of was one of my trans male friends back in high school. He started his transition when I was a senior, so as I went through the year with him he would always come to me being all excited about the next step (binders, hormones, etc.) because even though it was annoying to him, it was a step closer to being who he was. My favorite was the day after he ordered his packer and he just ran up to me yelling "Rebecca look at my penis oh my god It's coming. Becca my penis is coming." Which was admittedly kind of funny to hear. Proud of him though, he's such a sweet soul.
I just got top surgery, and I can’t stop talking about it 😊 so I definitely understand what you mean with the new found peace with yourself
Alex Moriarty Congrats i’m getting surgery! Glad you’re taking it easy with youtube watbhing

Now this transition, is phenomenal. This gives me so much hope for my trans partner and him becoming the best man he could be; seeing how well your transition went puts a lot of my fears of something going wrong for him out.
Thanks for telling us about your *pEEner*
In all seriousness, though, I appreciate these videos. They're super informative and make me less nervous and more excited about the future. I wish you and Shaaba the best!!
I love that your sharing how comfortable you are with the discomfort of your penis. And it's so informative to understand how my boyfriend feels all the time. Thanks for the awkward but refreshing lesson!
At first i thought you were a gender reassigning surgeon, not someone who had gone under it. I hope its not offensive, but i really never would have known you were transgender. Even after you said you were i was a bit confused. Your voice sounds great and your a very attractive man! Im glad your feeling alot better about things and your getting used to everything after!
Nope, not offensive at all. The goal of transgender folk is to appear totally cis, or biologically female/male.
@@nephyxutune well, it depends on the trans person. a lot of trans people want to pass, and others just want to exist however they're comfortable with e.g some trans men like wearing makeup/ some trans women like having a beard. every trans person has an individual journey/goal.
Same i cant tell i think thats amazing
As a straight woman I found this video fascinating! The fact that you can be so candid about something that is quiet awkward & uncomfortable is fantastic!
I love how the basic idea of this video is "Dicks get in the way". xD it's a normal thing bro, welcome to the penis club. Here's a question from a cis guy with no transgender friends to ask IRL... do you handle yours all the time? Because I handle my junk constantly, without realizing it. Haha. Anyways, ignore the question if it's asking TMI. Subbed, I look forward to the next video!
Thank you :P Haha, I do! It's weird. I never used to, and then all of a sudden I do without realising it too.
Thanks for subbing :)
This video popped up and as a straight female I just clicked on it outta pure curiosity.. My comment tho is as follows: dude your chair is f'in awesome! Where u get it? Congrats on ur new worm btw.
Fascinating to hear your perspective! As a cisgender male, I can see how I've adapted over decades and I'm sure you've heard it before, but experimenting with a wide range of underwear choices is NOT frivolous. I find that I like a softer-fabric version of some of the anatomical pouch-type briefs and boxers from Andrew Christian (and many others) keeps my equipment safely but not restrictively secured. I'm fond of Andrew Christian's "Almost Naked" line, favoring a stretchy all-cotton fabric to their many space-age, sleeker fabrics.
And it makes total sense that having external genitalia for the first time in your life is going to present all kinds of inconveniences just for the daily unfamiliarity of its presence. I'd encourage you to not take it for granted, to recognize that it's (now) a part of you-your body-and that it can be damaged just like any other part of you.
I'm interested in hearing about the financial part of the journey. A few years ago, I was on a discussion panel with a trans guy and he was very clear that, at the time, bottom surgery was "incredibly expensive and a lot to pay for something that doesn't work." Without asking you about the functionality of your penis, I'm specifically curious about how money played into the decision to get it, if you did get insurance coverage of any kind and if the expense initially dissuaded you from taking this step.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Wait
He's trans
His face/body gives me (trans*) hope
I haven't had any surgeries yet, just a tiny bit of bottom growth from T (almost 5 months now) and I'm experiencing some of what you're talking about already - definitely the feeling of squishing things that weren't there to be squished before. It's weird but also kind of awesome.
The worst is when you shaved a few days ago and its growing back. And its poking u cause you no longer have the protection of the hood (if you've got one. I think some dont?) 🤣💀
@@dlcdaniel705 Hmm, I do still shave and I haven't experienced that. But my little cocklet has grown beyond where the hair is ... so maybe that's why?
@@Kleineganz what's your dose? I started mine really small cause I was 17 and went up really slow to better mimic puberty and I dont think mine has grown as much as most and I'm almost 21 a few months ago I was upped to .6 a week after learning my body fights it off more than others.
@@dlcdaniel705 I'm getting an injection of 200 mg/mL (or 1mL) every 2 weeks. I'm much older (47), and on the cusp of menopause, so my body's reactions will be different.
@@Kleineganz ah, we take the same amount now (half a mL every week for me) I'm hoping it's the right dose for my body. I've had very slow results but my doctors think going slower and having slower results can lead to better end results so I'm hoping that my end results blow my mind! Lol. I've had my dose changed I think 4 or 5 times since I started T just trying to find the right dose. And I think that also might have halted some changed for a few small weeks maybe even months. My facial hair is still soft and my voice isnt as low as I think itll be. And i think it's a result of my dose changing so much in the last 3 years and being on like .1-.2 for the first year. I'm hoping I grow a bit more down there so I dont have to deal with the itchiness lmao.
Holy cow... I googled how this surgery is performed cause I'm a curious potential med student, and its kinda fascinating! Amazing how we've found such innovative ways to make people's lives that much better. Good luck! You're brave and amazing and valid and I hope your journey from here on out is amazing.
You’re so likable 😊

Congratulations. You are learning how to handle something that comes naturally to cis guys. It's all part of growing up for boys - what to do with your penis. The most important advice is that if you go without underpants, PLEASE be aware of the zipper.
"i'm going to try and be my most mature throughout"
*laughs a bit*
I love getting the ad for gender confirmation surgery before your videos
wow I never seen a ad like that I just been getting the keg ads :p
I'm a FTM as well and this video actually has helped me understand what someone like me as gone through to get bottom surgery. Thank you so much for easing some of my fears about it
8 minutes of talking about squished peen 👌
I absolutely love the way you talk about the process of sitting down at around 5:45 😂 I don‘t think I have ever heard anyone phrase it like that and it makes my heart go whoooosh for you 🥰
You're still in the process of healing...give time !!! dont use tight underwear until you feel confortable with ...crossing legs, feeling the "thing" when driving, it moves...thats a good sign (lol) : well... WELCOME TO MENS WORLD...you are a very BRAVE dude !!
Honestly I'm glad you're talking about it so much because it's something that's mostly just in the dark for a lot of folks since I guess people are embarrassed or whatever. So thank you. I've learned more from you than literally anywhere else
This video randomly showed up in my feed, you rock dude. Props to you for being so open about it! Wish you all the best on your journey with your newfound peen
I think the way you talk about your post surgery, and getting used to your "new body" is hilarious and you are very open about evereything, which I am sure helps others, who have no one to ask questions about what they are thinking or feeling. So just keep being YOU ! And if you you want to talk about your penis, well why wouldn't you, it's all brand new to you. You didn't have yours as long as those born with one. I have to admit before watching a few of your videos how much was involved, emotionally, and the amount of pain involved, so after all you have gone through, I personally feel you have earned the right to talk about your penis if you want to. Now all that being said, I am a straight woman, and I just happened upon your surgery video, and also being a nurse, who knew almost nothing about " bottom surgery" I found you to be funny, and very real about your feelings, sharing the good as well as the sad, and always VERY INFORMATIVE. You, explaining things in your own way, really gives me an insight I wouldn't have gotten otherwise, so I am happy you shared such an intimate part of your life, and I love that you are so open and honest, with a dash of your humour, about all of the changes of your expereience. And I will be watching your videos, I love your personality, so thanks for giving me insight in a way that I wouldn't otherwise have. You have helped me understand what it is truly like to do this. So I thank You , and it WILL help others understand better also. I wish you and your penis a long and happy life !
As a cis guy, most of these are totally relatable. I’ve been taken down by brushing crumbs off my leg before. There will be a day (if you haven’t had it yet) where you nail yourself and think “there’s no way any other guy has balltapped himself like this”. I can assure you, most of us probably have.
It's great how open you are. Education is so important. Thank you for your candor.
And i will say you are spot on with the having to get used to the "added mass" thing. As a trans woman now having been on E for more than 5 years now I still have times where I run my chest into something and have that reaction of oh yeah there is something there now. I actually naturally grew to somethere between a B and a C so yeah they can get in the way and suprise me from time to time. Doesn't affect me as much as it did when the girls were new but yeah "added mass" takes getting used to and really can suprise you from time to time. TTFN! ❤️
Cis male here... I full on punched myself in the junk once trying to block the cat from jumping in my lap. My wife laughed her ass off and texted her friend about it while I rolled on the floor in pain.
Just wait until you get it caught in a zipper. It happens sometimes and it's the worst pain there is.
You are amazing, and I'm glad you are happy! I agree with your comments, it can be uncomfortable! I remember all the items you are discussing when I was a teenager. I'm so happy for you and support you in all ways! We are all human and all deserve to have a happy and enjoyable life! Congrats on all of your progress! You are an inspiration, even to me, a cis male person! :) Have a great day!
The funny thing is the vast majority of these points could've come out of a Cis person! As a Cis man I can say that all of these points are completely natural. Congrats on a successful surgery!!
Wear briefs?? Im cis and i cannot and never wear boxers cause all that motion is not comfortable for me
I like boxers more because of all that moving and it gets more air with boxers. when its packed tightly its very uncomfortable.
I'm a woman, so I wouldn't know, but I heard that boxer briefs are a nice, happy medium between the two.
Boxer briefs ftw. If your underwear is too tight, get the right size. Boxers are just shorts you wear underneath other pants? Whyyy. And they're usually made from the coarsest material. They just bunch up unless you wear pants that are hella baggy (which would explain why that style took off).
Could you imagine if people's solution to overlarge socks was to wear even more overly large socks underneath those ones?
Great series! I've been waffling about getting lower surgery because I'm afraid of the pain. I see my doctor in a few days and I'm going to talk about it with him. I want it, but its scary! Top surgery wasn't scary at all since I'd had a breast reduction before, but this is totally new, and I'm working so I have to take a lot of time off as well. Thanks again for this great series!
Everytime I watch your videos I get ridiculously jealous of you and how far you are in your transition and yet I'm constantly doubting myself. :-/
... Well, anyway, I love your videos they're helping me a lot.
You'll get there. Stay strong
So happy for you, love your openness and straightforwardness!
And they say manspreading shouldn't be a thing.
It shouldn't when you are invading another person's personal space
Aesthetic Unicorn And have them squish their balls in the process?
@@herpline269 If you've had balls your entire life, I'm sure you can find a comfortable position to sit without making the ones sit next to you uncomfortable. If you can't, then you should't be sit next to other people.
Aesthetic Unicorn The way men are built makes it uncomfortable for more than just their balls, their hips aren't as wide as women's which also makes it more uncomfortable for them to push their legs together even if they didn't have balls. Besides women take up a whole seat with their purse. I really don't see how men spreading their legs to be comfortable is a problem
@@herpline269 like I said, it IS a problem when you make OTHER PEOPLE uncomfortable. And also like I said, they had their bodies for their entire lifes, I'm sure they can find a comfortable position to sit and not invade other people's personal space. I have taken buses and trains literally all my life, and I've sit next to men who spread their legs like they are in their couch at home watching TV. Other men just sit nornally occupying their own seat. I understand when people (men and women) are bigger so clearly they need more space. But if you are not, and you realize that there's another human being next to you, then you are just being a dick.
Honestly, I think a lot of transphobia could be helped if there were more informative resources about being transgender, if people could learn and grow instead of being afraid to ask questions and taught which questions are okay to ask and which aren't. I love the informative vibe of this video and I hope you make more like this!! Much love xoxo
The science of it all seriously fascinates me. like what a time to be alive where we can change a person this much and construct freakin genitals. incredible. Im curious, is it constructed completely from flesh? or does it include foreign object inserts and implants?
With the procedure I had (metoidioplasty), it is all created from what genitals you already have, so it's just a reconfiguration. The penis (testosterone enlarged clit that now resembles a small penis) is released from a ligament that allows it to sit freely and in the same position a cis penis would, and the scrotum is created from the outer labia (then the testicles are implants).
With the other type of lower surgery, phalloplasty, the penis is created from a grafted piece of skin that is taken from the arm, thigh, or abdomen. It created a larger penis, but also leaves large scarring and requires an erectile device to have erections. The same process is used for a scrotum and testicles.
That is just a super brief overview, but gives you the basics!
@@Jammidodger Wow, that sounds damn complicated for doctors to be able to do. I'm so glad it's possible now, trans people like you don't have to suffer as much if they can afford it
@@Jammidodger Thank you so much for this distinction! I was not even aware of how much I didn't know.
May I ask (feel no pressure to answer) if you are able to get an erection with the type of surgery that you chose? A clitoris does become erect, so that causes my curiosity.
Thanks again for this video, it is so appreciated!
@@jessah2469 I think he answers this in his video about metoidioplasty :)
@Angry White Guy Nah, that's a phalloplasty penis, he has had metoidioplasty. Metoidioplasty is the one that doesn't have implants anywhere other than testicular implants and they can get natural erections.
TMI is great! You are very good to talk about it. It is very well appreciated and understood. Thanks for sharing.
I am getting facial hair and I talk about it all the time. Thanks for being that face of reality for us Transguys.
Its very refreshing to see some one so happy :) even when u complain you look happy :)
Cheers man 👊🏼
talking about it is totally normal, developmentally. Like, parents of little boys can attest that their sons go through this weird stage where they're very aware/proud of their penis. And having lived so long with your body one way and then going through a lot to make it the way it is, makes sense that you talk about it a lot. It's part of understanding the reality for a brain that didn't evolve to have something like that happen.
you are awesome - as a 72 yr old cis guy, I think you're incredible and what you've done astounding. Don't put yourself down about talking about your transition. It's phenomenal for us to hear about it and to travel through the process with you. I guess I grew up in a different world all those years ago, but I feel privileged to be able to follow your transformation and to hear and see your speak with such openness and candour. Love.
Thank You for the info Jamie!! It's actually nice to hear stuff before & after, that way you know what to expect!!! Much Love!!
Being a biological man, I can tell you it's always kind of weird to have a penis, especially depending on your size and grooming habits. For instance, last week or so I groomed and when I do that, I shave certain parts so that they're completely hairless. This includes the inside of my thighs, close to my balls. So I went out wearing some tight briefs but due to my size, they don't keep everything inside well enough. As a result, I had to deal with my shaved balls touching my shaved inner thighs all day long and that was hella uncomfortable. The heel thing also happens to me, but that happens far less often. Sometimes, even sitting can be uncomfortable, especially if I'm wearing loose boxer briefs (I'm so skinny that none of my boxer briefs are tight even though they're supposed to be), cuz then the dong escapes to one side or the other and fixing that in public is neither easy or comfortable.
So make sure your tight undies actually keep everything in place. That's my advice anyway.
Completely unrelated but, where did you get those glasses?
Thank you for "over sharing", many of us appreciate these type of sincere videos.
You literally made me choce in my water like 5 times being too funny.
I really appreciate you being open about this stuff
I have had one of these things my whole life and let me say that I have personally felt every single point you discussed here... Sounds like you're getting the full experience and I hope that all goes very well for you!
For whatever reason the weirdest part of this video was the mental image of you driving, I have no idea why though
It's amazing to me, as a pre-opp trans girl. I've lived as a female for about 25 years and I started when I was 17.
I am blown away and what has changed in the past 20 years ! You look fantastic and I've seen some amazing transformations thru the years🙂 I have considered and expected to eventually have the full surgery but in the past 10 years I've become comfortable with where I am but I truly admire those who take that extra step to be complete.
I only imagine what the future will allow 💛💛💛
Since you managed to be adult throughout the whole video, I laughed my ass off for the both of us. Your welcome. ❤❤
Thanks for sharing it helps those of us that don't know about stuff like this so don't stop
I'm TRANS and I'm proud
SUGARMY25 x hell yeah!

You were inspirational for me!! I am not trans but I was experiencing dysphoria with my chest, I went into surgery a few weeks after you so it felt comforting seeing someone else heal as I was also healing.
There is a unspoken brotherhood among us men...
Number 6 was hilarious
