      Really? Do you feel comfortable talking about it?

            like you know the little 'ring' around your dick where its circumcised? that entire bit is nerve damaged for me. like it hurts constantly. not as bad as some of my other nerve damage that i got from being a victim but it still hurts ambiently. its a very light tingling / burning pain, like a sunburn. but constantly.

              Yeah, that's basically a scar. How does that impact SRS?

                so if i go into srs, they basically invert your dick, widen your inguinal canal, and stuff it in there. to invert, theyd have to cut through the nerve damage. so that could potentially make it worse. also, not having foreskin can effect the results of srs. so being anti-circumcision is also a pro-trans position.

                    no prob. i explained to my family that we're probably genetically predisposed to nerve dmg down there due to a certain defect, and i have been successful at ceasing all new circumcisions in our family. so thats nice i guess

                  I just realized I was confusing SRS with HRT. That's wild. I hope it turns out for the best...

                      I used to follow Lynn Conway's blog back in the day and she had TONS of resources on it. I wish it was still up, she also talked about FFS. I was following her so early on that I was in the weird position of being able to tell other trans people about stuff that I was learning that they hadn't even heard about.

                          You just made me realize I had a trans mom when I was a baby gay, and two drag moms too.
