tip for swimming with a binder in the sea/lakes

victory for me today. 

when swimming, if you are able, pull your binder up to under your shoulders.

this is what i did today when in the sea. i also wear a rash top, and no one could see me. I could finally swim for over an hour without feeling bad compression, or getting stressed about wearing a binder while swimming. i then pulled it back down before exiting the water. this was annoying but not extremely hard. 

notes: my binder has a significant length cut off the bottom, because that part does not help with any binding and i dont like it rolling up/squeezing me when it does not need to I use an underworks tritop OR ultimate tank (again with a lot of length cut off)

might not work for everyone, but it means i can now go swimming for hours and hours for exercise without fucking my ribs up.

this site is extremely helpful, for posture/back stuff, which is crucial when you’ve spent hours and hours binding, and still have many hours of binding to come.

dysphoria:

this came into my head when i was putting my togs on the line and im sure my neighbours think im nuts for always laughing to myself. this happens all the  time

I’m feeling really good. 

Since coming back from uni I’ve lost a lot of weight in fat but also gained a lot of muscle, since I’ve been working out 3-4 times a week. 

Clothes fit me now, and it feels really good to be able to wear what I want. I probably would’ve seen this progress sooner but at uni I am not comfortable working out at the gym since I don’t like exercising and binding, but at home I can do weights in my room and swim at the beach in an old binder. 

I can’t wait until top surgery is done too, so I am truly free from restrictions, like white t shirts

christmas shark,, to put on cards for my friends this christmas. 

[transitionelements]

so i don’t usually like christmas because of family & stress, but this year i sent a photocopy of this dopey shark with a santa hat on his snout to all my friends i made at university, and getting messages back from them on messenger saying thanks and merry christmas has really made me happy these past few days

I DID IT

I got my dick in a box, and without my parents intercepting the parcel and getting curious about a “silicone prosthetic”

He is soft and squashy. Light skin snoop STP.

And obviously, now I can’t post photos because they’ll be flagged..

Anyway: The tone matches the underside (less-tanned) part of my arm in colour, which is good. The shaft folds nicely and can go either side of the testicles.  The testicles are very realistic too, with folds etc. This is coming from someone who has never seen male genitals in real life btw, only picures/video.

I’m not so sure how to pack so far, in my undies hanging free to the front the bulge is pretty significant, and up/to the side I’m not so sure. 

It cost me $110NZD and arrived in nine days

i was working with my dad and this kid biked past, probably a 12-13 year old boy.

barefoot, wearing a shirt and shorts, winding moving through his shirt. 

i felt really jealous then. I wish that was me six years ago, cycling around the neighbourhood in the sun with no binder, no “training bra”, no impending doom of female puberty.

Bought my first STP/packer and it has been shipped!  Just gotta wait for the USA-NZ post which I believe takes around two weeks. 

I bought the freetom snoop 3.5″ STP, and the colour is “light skin”.

I want my packer right now. Five years since I started my transition and this is my first one, so I’m really looking forwards to getting it.
