I have my first OFFICIAL appointment with a therapist next week and the introductory lady asked if I had told anyone about my transition other than family. I said no. I told her it really isn't anyone's business and that I keep school and my personal life seperate. I'm not a loner, I just like keeping to myself but I'm friendly with everyone and anyone.

Like I really don't want this to be an issue.

OH! And I just got my paper that shows how much I should be getting from taxes and I have enough to buy myself a binder, packer and some men's underwear!!!!

Now, I know it's silly. I have underwear. But it's female underwear...panties -_- I have some that are black and don't look feminine but I still. It's just not the same you know? I don't want my family to think it's stupid but I have always wanted men's underwear. My mom got me boy shorts once but they were frekin girly as hell lol

I'm thinking of getting these!!!!!  Do you think I will need a harness for the Packy in this?

hi nick i would just get some clear elastic and make my own harness if i were you its super cheap and it works really well. if you want something for using while running around or playing sports i suggest a jock strap the type that has a pocket thing for a cup.

i think it's your own business and you shouldn't tell anyone you don't feel comfortable outing yourself to. and about the underwear i'd suggest going with some basic hanes boxer briefs. they're cheap and extremely comfortable. i've found having a big random design or whatever printed on the side of my underoos alters the fit and made them uncomfortable. and those seem to have too loose of leg openings so you'd need a harness. i personally wear american eagles trunk and boxer briefs but they're 2 for $20 so it's a splurge. you might want a harness regardless, even a homemade one, to keep the packer against your body. it looks and feels the most real that way. and won't shift all over the place lol.

Like the others have remarked, it may be best to use a harness with the packer - especially in the beginning.  The last thing you need is to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about your penis wandering all over your undies.  Be especially careful that you order the correct size binder.  As for telling people, it's up to you.  Being stealth has it's risks, but I also agree that it's no one's concern.
