Packing?

I've looked it up on the internet and I think I've gotten the general Idea but I'm not sure. My question is What is the point of packing?

The same reason I stuff my bra! To look more like your target gender. Or I guess it's also to get used to the feeling of something external down there, like when you start using a portable STP?

Many FTMs feel that it helps them be more confident in their presentation and therefore they pass better and feel better mentally.

Some FTMs like to use an STP packer so they can use the urinal.

Some just feel like there should be something there and even if its apacker they feel more 'noraml' with it

Some FTMs feel foolish.

There are many reasons why, but it's basically a personal decision that depends on personal tastes and feelings.

All I can say is my whole life I've known that I've been missing an important piece of my identity. When I first started transitioning, another guy told me about the soft packys. I never knew they existed before!!! I had been sitting at home with a hard huge dildo but had to hide in my room.

When it came in the mail, I've been wearing it 24/7 ever since. It's like I'm 'complete' in that I know it's there, it feels real when I touch it, etc. No, it doesn't work like the real thing, but it's become a part of me totally.

I agree with the above reasons - also, packing can help 'fill out' your jeans for a more male presentation. It's not neccessary, but for some guys in certain clothes it's useful to create a realistic bulge and feel of the male anatomy. Here's a good website with a guide on packing - why you would do it, suggestions on what to use to create a realistic bulge, and where to find packers, etc. Please note that while this is an informative site, it is a how-to guide on packing, and some external links on the site (namely, links leading to where to buy packers) may lead to websites which contain realistic images of packers/dildos.

Soft packers generally create the bulge of a flaccid phallus. This is generally the look you aim for when using packers for the everyday.

I have to pack, and just don't feel right if I'm not. When I discovered packing it really helped me to feel more comfortable and confident with who I am. For me it's not even about passing, I could do that anyway. I pack with an STP during the day, and use the urinal, and then I just use a straight forward packer at night when I'm asleep. It's something I do for me, it just helps me to feel right. I don't think it makes anybody more or less of a man though. It's a completely personal thing for all transguys.

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm not sure the time frame.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.
