I stumbled into a rabbit hole of degeneracy and L after L when I was lurking Reddit 

I can’t fathom what could go wrong with telling your blue collar colleagues that you wanna be called Shirley now.

I looked up what a gaffe was and all I got was the term used for a stupid remark, not whatever tucking device he’s going on about.

It’s always a man that’s been married for over a decade with several children
We don’t face to wait for the blowup though, because it’s already happened.


Let’s look at the comments!

Ok so let’s see what our True and Honest Wahman looks like and what his profile contains!


On second thought, TTD 


Questions about coming out @ work
I had asked this on another’s post and someone responded that I should make my own, so here it is!
I’m an apprentice diesel mechanic. I’ve been at my shop for 2.5yrs, I feel like I have a prettybgood work-relationship with everyone here. However I know their views on trans issues, and they aren’t kind. In fact they’re outright hateful. I rely very heavily on other techs for help, questions, borrowing tools from time to time, etc. and I worry that when I start transitioning at best I’ll be ignored and avoided. At worst…well obviously there’s worse than being ignored…
This is a new career for me, I can’t afford to change jobs again at my age (37), and I have a wife and kids I support. Besides all that I’m pretty much an indentured servant here because the company has paid for my training and tools. If I leave for whatever reason I have to give/pay all that back.
I haven’t come out yet to anyone but ya’ll here on Reddit, but I plan to within the next 2 weeks, at least to my wife and kids. After that I want to immediately begin working on my transition because putting it off feels unsafe for my mental and physical health.
How do I navigate coming out at work and keeping my job? Any advice or experience would be invaluable to me! Especially anyone who has transitioned in a blue collar job!
Thank you all in advance!

Need gaff help…
Gals, I need help…I’ve been trying to work with a homemade gaff and I don’t know if I don’t have it positioned correctly or what, but it feels great for the first bit and then hurts so bad after about an hour or so…
I made it out of the tube part of a sock and an elastic waistband.
I was just going to post a picture of how I have it positioned, but the dysphoria is real, and I in no way shape or form pass…can any of you ladies help a sister out? Can I dm someone how I have it positioned and you tell me if I’m way off base?
Kinda weird request, I understand…if it’s too weird I’ll go to the corner and think about what I d, promise!

Coming out to my wife this week (help!!!)
Tagged NSFW just in case sh@t gets real…
Attempt #2, no one looked at previous post and I really need advice!!! I’m a trans woman, have a wife and 3 kids, we’ve been married for 15 years. For those of you who came out to your spouses, what did you say that was helpful, what do you wish you would have said? I’m so scared, but I need her to see all of me. Every bit of advice helps!! Thank you my lovelies!!

UPDATE: Came out to my wife today!!!
First I need to say a huge THANK YOU to all my trans sisters who helped me out on my first post!! You’re advice and support has been invaluable and really gave me the confidence to just do it! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
So…could have been better, could have been worse…
I won’t get into too many specifics, we have many many relationship issues that predate this conversation that ended up being referenced that obviously didn’t help. But suffice to say we went from yelling to sitting in silence, sobbing in each others arms to punching a wall…a couple times…
The worst was her screaming in the bedroom “I just want my HUSBAND!” Or referring to all this as my “choice to transition”…there were other things that just aren’t even mentioning. I know all of this is raw emotion, I just hope it changes from here…it can’t get much worse, right?
However, it ended in an ok place. I told her at the end the most important thing for me was that I needed her to eventually see me as her wife, not as her husband that looks like a girl now. EDIT: this was at a point in our conversation when we both were saying what we each needed in order to be fulfilled in our relationship, to make things work. I.E. she said “I really need this from you for this to work” and I would reply “Alright, I will work on that for you. This is something that would really help me…” and so on.
I feel peaceful! It was an altogether terrible morning, but I feel like I’m floating a bit! I know the worst isn’t over yet, but for the first time I really really feel like I can do this!!!
Again, thank you all for your support!! This community has been incredible for me, I truly would not be here without all of you wonderful gents and ladies!!

Let’s look at the comments!

You can't force her to see you as her wife.
Listen. As much as trans people will hate what I'm about to say, this isn't all about you. She is in pain too. It's scary for you and scary for her.
My best friend said to me: "I will never see you as a girl, for me you will always be <deadname>"
My response? "Dude, in 5 years you will feel extremely uncomfortable calling me anything EXCEPT a girl"
Him: "yeah, I could see that..."
Remember that cis people CANNOT fathom how powerful hormones are. They think you will put on makeup tomorrow and immediately want to be seen differently.
It's ALL about exposure, and cis people don't realize that the pretty cashier they talked to yesterday was trans. They don't realize that they are exposed to trans people much more than expected.
So, help your wife with realizing that this will be a long, slow process, nothing needs to change immediately, and your <deadname> isn't actually dead.

Flanges for Teeny Tiny Elastic Nipples? 
Hey, I did search as I'm sure this question comes up often. But I only see discussion from women with large elastic nipples.
My nipples are TINY. Like the width of a pencil eraser, and nearly no length. And they swell up huge if the flange is too large. Or, if I use "supple cups" (designed for inverted nipples) they swell to fill the space.
I want to get the right size flange because I hear it's a godsend, but how do I go about it when my tiny pencil-width nips fill the space of whatever I shove them into?
Also if it matters, my areolas are rather large and puffy... maybe the width of a golf ball.
(And yes I'm super jealous of those people with nips the width of a pinky finger)
Edit: I just measured and they are 10-13mm. Resources online say I would want a 17mm flange... But I already know they will fill that space. Is this normal? No, right??
