I'm done with my grandmother's manipulation and abuse, I'm ready to fucking pack up my stuff and just leave and never look back, even if I still have a couple of months left on the lease and no idea of where to go that's safe.

I got lube! (The water-based gel kind to be precise.)

I think I'm ashamed about being so young and needing it.

I was going to buy lube tonight, but ultimately chickened out because I was ashamed about needing it, any suggestions on things to combat this shame?

I didn't use lube, I didn't have any on me.

About an hour of being on the edge of an orgasm, to be precise, and now the head of the ol' queen size/ penis has a raw spot, any recommendations on caring for it?

I want to pipe in here, but I'm on androgen blockers at the moment and only androgen blockers, but I'm still able to get erections and all that jazz. Now, it's dependent on which blocker she's on, however. If you have any other questions, just ask.

Yeah, probably, I have no problem with discussing with friends as it's not much different between talking about sex with them vs my sexual wants and needs in general.

I mean my first time, I wanna do some kinky stuff, but I don't think I want everything I'm interested in the first time. And I also would prefer to receive penetration and stuff, but I'm open to other things. I'd want a little bit of foreplay, and more likely than not, I'm going to require aftercare...

Hi KittyPink, It sounds like you're already thinking about what you are and are not ready for or interested in when it comes to sex, which is a great first step (it may also help to define for yourself what losing your virginity looks like, since that's an idea rather than a concrete thing, and can...

So, I've come along awhile and figured some stuff out. So, I'm good to have sex in my opinion. I know how to have it comfortably, now, with less gender dysphoria. But like I want to have sex for my first time, but I don't need to lose my virginity with someone who I'm in a committed relationship wit...

So, I have a chosen sister, who lives in Canada, but that's really all I have when everything's said and done, I haven't picked up "my mother's" phone calls in over several months, which I'm not proud of even though it's been a big relief. Although, should I move out, my grandmother I will...

So, I want to try thumbcuffs and toecuffs out, but I want to know if there are any risks I should be aware of?

It's mainly because I have bottom dysphoria, but like I can get away with not getting dysphoria when masturbating the way I figured out, and it feels like I went back on how I said I probably wouldn't have sex or masturbate because I have too much dysphoria. And I really can't think of any other tim...

So, like I found a way for me to masturbate where I can pleasure myself without dysphoria, but like I feel like I'm "essentially admitting that I don't have dysphoria", which I have dysphoria, just found a cheat around it in this instance. And like I guess like being okay with pleasuring m...

I'm just unsure sort of what label I feel is fitting, because like my sexuality's been a little weird lately and like I'm sort of attracted to guys more, I mean I'm still as my friend put it, "neon gay", and I still prefer girls, but like enbies are cool. But like also, like I guess other ...

Okay, I'm thinking I might be pansexual, but the problem I have a bit of an attachment to lesbian as a label, and like I've realized I'm attracted to enbies, women and men, but only trans men, because like I guess my one ex boyfriend may have been a more traumatic relationship than I thought. But, I...

I'm honestly not sure if it's possible to convince my grandmother because I've gotten mixed signals, and I've also had to argue a lot for certain things.

So, status update on my whole situation, so I'm living with my grandmother still, but it's just me and her, because our landlord kinda knocked our rent down because we always paid it early. My grandmother, however, despite the fact I might have to work part time to make some ends meet, won't let me ...

Additionally, a lot of the local housing resources aren't very trans friendly or friendly in general, and are mainly shelters and the other stuff is financial/work ability based and voucher based, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be able to do. The women's shelters aren't trans friendly at ...

Because of recent events, me and my grandmother can't live together because we can't afford to be on our own, and I'm not able to rent without a co-signer, I am currently unemployed, an unable to find a friend to stay with. My mother feels like I would expect her to pay for it, and she thinks I won'...

So, good news shot down by bad news, so I got approved for hormone blockers, but my mother who I might be living with is saying that she won't let me live with her because my "obsession" and "want" to medically transition is making me inherently irresponsible because I'm not taki...

Honestly, I hadn't really given that much thought... Maybe I'll think through a bit more, and think about how exactly I'm going about doing these sort of things.

Any suggestions for trans and lesbian/queer woman friendly dating apps? Since I'm coming up on 18 in like 11 days, I was considering making a Tinder when my birthday rolls around. But like any words of caution or tips?

I'm not sure how they would respond, and given the size of my house there really isn't any place besides my room where I have privacy. The only phone I have at the moment that has service, is one that my mother might snoop on, so taking a call outside isn't much of an option. And I'm not sure how my...
