Hi Capablehippie, You've got it 100% right. Desire for sex varies from person to person (and even within a particular person from day to day), and gender isn't a great predictor of how much someone will be interested in sex. And someone can be attracted to their partner but not want to be sexual wi...

Also, hoodies of significant others are usually nice thing to have if you have issues being away from them during a bad week. (At least for me.)

What makes a movement feel masculine to you? Like, sometimes it's the stiffness, other times is the way I lean when I make said movement, that or it feels like sometimes it seems like it's a little overbearing, or something of the sort. Oh, and may I add how sometimes I don't care what clothes I'm ...

Anyone know of any?

Hi Kittypink, Popping in to say that this is something plenty of trans folks describe. They like parts of their bodies or personalities that are associated with the gender they were assigned at birth, because ultimately those things have no gender, but they're given a gendered meaning by the cultur...

It's not advisable, including one's own. There are lots of bacteria which live in the human gut - and which are very helpful and healthy in the gut - which can be harmful elsewhere, including in the mouth, and make us ill. There's a good reason why hand-washing is important after toileting and befo...

Like just being protective or more masculine in a relationship with another girl. Or, my foul mouth(emphasis on this), or the occasional low tone in my voice.

You don't miss a thing kitty! I wrote a reply but then deleted it. The topic was just a bit too much of a spiral of googling for me to say much useful. Well, generally, given basic biological knowledge and my luck with finding information, it's safe. (At least if it's your own, I'm not sure it's sa...

I got a notification for a reply? But, it's not here?

Is it safe, just out of sheer curiosity?

I think it's great for pretty much anyone with friends who menstruate to carry some menstrual supplies around with them! If you think that would help you feel better it seems like a good thing to try - plus, as you say, it would be useful if a friend ever needs a pad or tampon in an emergency. I'm ...

I apologize I didn't see your previous post before I posted and I didn't realize how much discontent you had in that regard. I thought your main concern was wanting it more out of curiosity like the person in the interview and I'm sorry my post may of come off as insensitive. Oh, you're fine, it's ...

Everybody's thoughts about their own bodies are different. Just because we have likes or dislikes about our bodies that may or may not align with others preferences of theirs or bodies in general doesn't mean that your thoughts are inherently bad. Scarleteen actually did a blog series about a non-f...

I mean it's VERY unlikely, but I still probably won't. But, seriously, it's really annoying. Not to mention, people who say that make me more dysphoric.

For what it's worth, I don't think it's unreasonable (and feelings don't have to be reasonable or logical to be legitimate, either!). On top of that, how someone else feels about their periods isn't any indication of how you should feel about not having periods. Can I ask why you feel weird that th...

Just because this is something I'm legitimately bothered about, but everyone's always said that they suck. (Well, no crap, that's like saying you have to have a surgery to save your life. But, the surgery will leave you in bed, in pain for three months.) I mean it also feels weird that this bothers ...

Avoiding them is relatively easy, so it just plain creepy and a little agitating, too.

So, I've heard and have had been hit on by guys, and it's creepy how since I'm trans and they know it, they'll do it just to pull my strings and make me feel uncomfortable.

Sam W wrote:Hi Kittypink,

It's not automatically unsafe, but you'd need to take extra care not to accidentally kick your partner with them on, and be careful of positions that require more balance (as it's easier to get unbalanced and fall/trip in heels).

Okie, thanks!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that.

Is it something that is safe? And also, this is something that just appeals to me a lot.

I've always had this kinda weird (note that I never use weird with a negative connotation, there's good and bad weird) fantasy where I do a striptease routine for a partner. I've thought about maybe bringing it outside my mind, if you know what i mean.However, there are quite a few complications wi...

Alongside this... I'm wondering if the context of where and with who you swim could help make things easier. Do you have any freaky geeky queer friends you can go swimming with? Or pools where there is a vibe you feel more comfortable with... that might make 'what to wear' feel a lot better. I have...

so an update: I went in, the guy at the register asked how old I was and knowing i couldn't fake it, I saw myself out and apologized for the inconvenience. but hey at least I know what to expect if i ever attempt it again, when I'm of age, and i have a story to tell The best stories to tell are the...
