I haven't been able to keep up with the thread but I have to talk about this guy:
Meet Vikki Le (if you haven't already)
Ok the last one if kinda based I'll have to admit
I found him by simply searching "dilate" on Youtube, another user has already posted his video where he does a "follow-along" dilation session but in case you haven't seen it yet:
Highlighted quotes:
"I have my days where I wake up and I'm like, ugh I have to dilate" 10:54
"One time I was laughing so hard while I was dilating, the dilator shot out of my body, it was pretty aggressive" 13:38
Did you know he call his dilators boyfriends and gave them names? (timestamped)
His most watched video is of his recovery from "gender confirmation" surgery, complete with emotional turmoil, which was really eye opening to me. I had no idea of how actually painful the surgery was, even if it went 100% perfect. It documents his journey from male to botch female and it's pretty interesting, he says what was going through his head during and before recovery, very educational.
At 17:05 you can see him trying to stand up for the first time by himself after 3 days of recovery (IIRC) and if it wasn't for a nurse coming in at the right time I'm pretty sure he'd have collapsed or something. It made me feel his pain and I just wonder why do troons choose to do this to themselves. At 27:35 you can see his first dilation (there's also the nurses giving him lessons on how to do it if you're interested), apparently for the first six weeks there's so much bleeding you have to wear a pad in your underwear, All is going well until
After over a week after surgery he still can't walk and the ride home "was brutal, every bump on the road felt like a punch to the vagina to me." He made a reaction video to his vlog and a 5-hour long recap of everything before, during and after the surgery.
One of his most recent videos is him reading "mean" comments and responding to them with Bible quotes:
I was disappointed because I was expecting /pol/ levels of trolling, but it was still humorous.
I tried to look for his oldest video to see if he had any pre-hormone videos but unfortunately this is the oldest one
Right at the beginning you can see how ashamed his boyfriend is of being with him, I've never seen someone being introduced on video avoid looking at the camera like that, though maybe I'm just misinterpreting things.
In case you're wondering he looked the same before hormones, I couldn't tell any difference.
His videos are pretty educational and informative and I'd recommend them to anyone in this thread interested in what life of post-op troons are like.
