Actually I don't mind the "bulge"  as it make me feel like I have another breast, (which girls cant have) & it makes me anxious when I can have 2 more of them up on my chest! I like wearing long skirts, so the bulge is for my private world.  Esther22

Being non-op I've never tucked, never had any reason or desire to.  And I used to wear tight skinny jeans and leggings (by themselves, no skirt); I'm sure some bulge was showing subtly (or not-so-subtly in leggings/yoga pants), but I didn't let it worry me too much.  It's my body, my natural anatomy that I'm fine with morphologically speaking, and I didn't think it was right to be pressured to go out of my way to tuck and conceal.  Most people aren't walking around glaring at women's crotches all day, anyway.  I never got ogled as far as I was aware, and nobody ever said anything to me about it (except my mom, lol, once early on before I explained).

Unless you're wearing super-tight bottoms or a swimsuit, I don't think it's the problem it's made out to be for most of us.  I truly don't have to give it a second thought anymore, because I dress modestly now--maxi skirts, and long coats that cover that area--so it's a moot point as nothing's visibly protruding regardless.  I fully understand why women with significant genital dysphoria would feel the need to tuck, but for the rest of us it's a non-issue IMHO.
"...what I seem to be is the monkey wrench in the machinery of everyone's sexual politics...it gets awfully frustrating at times.  What I really am is a paradox in that "transsexual" just doesn't fit into my identity, who I am to myself.  In other words, what I've been through is terribly interesting, but I have no interest in using it to say who I am."

"The transsexual experience, while a major survival issue, is not the central identity-defining factor in our lives, even though it is seen as what makes us different from other people. Despite its magnitude and intensity, it is, in the long run, merely a preliminary step to getting on with our lives."

Interesting conversation. I still present male so right now I don't worry about it but it's great to know that there are other less uncomfortable options.

My penis is very small, so thankfully not really obvious.

I'm totally comfortable with my bulge considering it's just average size anyway plus I have come to realise that considering I'm confident about myself, I'm fine with being open about my sex and gender. In other words, yes, although I'm sometimes insecure about what other people may think of me because I'm a transsexual female with male genitals, I'm easily confident and mature enough to not pay any mind to people that don't like me.

Barbie's got the right idea!

And Charlie Nicki, girl, why do you present as male still while looking that gorgeous?


This was a pretty interesting read through!  I don't understand where the pain or discomfort is supposed to come from, though.  I'm way more comfortable when I tuck, and occassionally it just feels like it vanishes completely, and that makes me very happy.

I'm not HRT yet, and no plans for surgery. I don't have a super small pecker(yet!) but I enjoy tucking so much that I basically never untuck, I sleep tucked, too.  I admit, I was nervous doing that at first(like I might hurt myself) but I haven't and I don't see any reason why I might at this point.
Looking to make and keep friends! Spreading the love, now that I can truly love myself!

But, sometimes I do take care of tucking, especially when I wear tight short pants. Fortunately I mostly wear skirts.

Just do it.

My genitals are above average. Do any of you just wear a bikini without tucking, like at the beach or hotel swimming pool. Isn't it easier to just say this is who I am, breasts and a penis, deal with it?

I have nothing left that requires any hiding, but I would not wear a bikini anyway.  manatees in bikinis never look good, and I can easily compete with a manatee looks wise!

Welcome aboard MPH,

I like your attitude.  Yes, people can learn to deal with the realities of diversity that are no longer staying in some dark quiet closet.  If someone is intent on checking out the camel toes, baskets and whatever lumps and bumps we all possess then that is on them.  I/we need not respond in kind or too kindly, if at all.

I am just back from a trip to the Olympic National Park and Lake Quinault Lodge where we luxuriated in the pool and sauna.  It is so fun to swim and I will not be excluded from the public sphere by little lumps or bumps.  How bout you?

I literally have to tuck. I simply cannot abide the feeling of something down there. While smoothness is preferred as for as aesthetics are concerned, the main drive to tuck for me is not being able to tell it's there. If I can feel it, I did it wrong.
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

Have you thought about an orchi Faith?  I have nothing left to feel anymore, they cleaned me up pretty much down there!
