Um, how much do you know about ftm transition? T makes the clitoris grow. A lot. They basically release the clitoral tissue from inside the vag (it goes pretty deep), wrap it in skin with the urethra, then make a nutsack out of the leftovers.

For sexual purposes it's a fully functioning weiner. They're not often as big as a cis man's, but most people having the surgery don't give a gently caress.

Don't know enough, evidently. I was under the impression that testosterone usually wasn't enough to get the clitoris to the right size/shape for penetration, and they had to use something else that wasn't erogenous to construct the dingdong. Guess it works better than I thought. My mistake!

needless to say, the size results vary wildly for different people on different medication regimes, and some dudes just aren't going to be happy with the sizes involved.

so surgery that involves building more stuff even if it's not so sensitive remains in demand

I'm the hot pink at the end of the second row.

Also, I decided to see if I could find a nice pair of flats my size to try out, see if they're more comfortable than my normal clomping shoes, and maybe keep them under my desk at work to pass off as a comfort thing.

It is amazingly difficult to find shoes my size. I shouldn't be shocked, because it's hard to find men's shoes my size, but drat.

my wife has the exact opposite problem, she's trying to estrange herself from her (highly conservative christian) relatives and especially her (alcoholic and abusive) father but he keeps finding her info about once every few months and begging her to talk to him in a creepy kinda unstable-sounding email screed

at least he literally lives on the other side of the world :sigh:

I haven't spoken with anyone since Christmas and earnestly since August. I've written them off for now and am in active counselling over it since I can handle the long term but holy hell the short term sucks.

I am well off and don't need any financial support but the lack of familial support has been awful.

I'd write about this in detail but I am not fully prepared yet. The only person who shares my last name who has been my ally is my ex spouse. She doesn't need to be and yet has; she will always remain family regardless of our relationship change.

They go up to a 15 (the size I wear). I just dropped like 800bux in shoes at an lts pop-up. If you're a brit they also have physical stores in the uk.

Blowfish is the most comfortable brand of flats ever so watch for those to show up at fashion season changes.

I'm a 15/4E width in shoes, and 6'6" in height. I think at this point the part that's going to be most difficult is just finding stuff that both fits my tastes and my freakishly tall/wide body.

Thanks for the tip on LTS. :)

i would never come out to family, but i've had many years to decide that before i started to really think about the gender stuff.

besides, the last thing i need is for my mother to have yet another reason to show up unannounced and unwelcome at my workplace. toxic family is hosed up

it's great to hear that HRT resolves that need for you (and a lot of other people in the thread it sounds like)

meanwhile HRT made my wife's depression significantly worse and she had to change antidepressants and add a second one just to get back to where she was :toot:

If you have a little more money, check out shoes of prey. They do custom sizing and can also take a cast of your foot and make the shoes bespoke to you.

I'm 6'4. You're not freakishly tall or wide. If transition ends up being your path, there's plenty to do to look and feel beautiful and height won't get in the way at all.

I will stop lurking this thread for a moment to say: thank you for mentioning them. The fact that they do impressions too is nice to know and it is honestly good to find a place with shoes I can fit into.
And I guess as I now posted, I should explicitly say where I fit in?

I lucked out on the trans woman lottery as I am 172 cm and my shoe size is a women's 11.

I think I am 5'8" in American measurements.
