Back when I was a youngin, but that was only bb and pellet guns. I'd actually love to get a chance to fire handguns at a firing range sometime, but haven't done much to make that happen.

The way I understand the word transmasculine and the way I use it is that to be transmasculine is to identify as masculine from the starting point of a assigned-female-at-birth body and sex marker. I've also heard people use transfeminine to describe the opposite situation.

People who are transmasculine include trans men, masculine identified genderqueers, butches, and others. Identifying and living in a masculine way does not necessarily mean a person identifies as male. Some males do not express themselves in a masculine way, in fact, even if they are straight identified.

I hope that helps. On this Gendercast episode, http://gendercast.libsyn.com/episode-29-gc-reflections-on-the-2012-philly-trans-health-conference, Sean and Jesse talk about some of the definitions for 'transmasculine' that came out of a workshop they led at the Philly Trans Health Conference this year. You might find that interesting.

Short answer: yes. I do not pack 24/7 because some of my activities are a bit awkward with a packer, and I don't usually pack while sleeping. That said, I always feel a little off balance without it. Packing helps me connect with, and express, my male identity. It is a visible reminder to me and others that there is more going on with my gender than my bio-body indicates. Packing effects my center of gravity as well. I tend to feel more centered around my hips when I'm packing, there's more swagger to my walk and I am more confident when packing.

When I started I was really unsure, nervous, worried I'd get called out for packing or get negative responses. I know people notice it, at some level, even if they don't understand what they're seeing. I go to work every day packing, I've been to interviews packing, I pack when I attend family gatherings. My attitude about it has changed from 'I hope no one gives me grief' to 'this is who I am, take it or leave it, but don't expect me to change based on your discomfort'.

I do throw out underwear when it's stained or the elastic is shot.. I enjoy getting new briefs, so tossing out the old is no hardship

sure, well, maybe not date per se -- but only because I already have multiple commitments -- but I wouldn't rule bisexuals out of the potential group of people I'd fuck

Down Under... ok, I shall add it to the list :-)

Saynine had it right. Any cool technology will first be exploited by spammers and then by idiots and assholes... for the rest of us, it will be a struggle to suppress the bullshit so that some semblance of the original goodness remains.

I'm sorry, I know I've been a bit off. I have written some for other venues: the Salacious magazine out this month has an original story in it. I agree that I need to write more erotica for y'all.

So, do you have a prompt for me? a word or phrase, verb/noun/adverb/adjective I can riff off?

Roxy, always. the second person varies depending on what's going on, but lately it's Bunny because I'm up at night with her while we night wean

I'm not very fancy with cupcakes, probably cuz we don't have a fancy cupcake store nearby, but I enjoy a good moist yellow cake topped with a rich coffee & chocolate type frosting

hmmmm.. so many options, but the first thing that came to mind, honestly was this....

"Stick it in!"

hmmmm.. OK, I'll jump over the notion of it being offensive (or not) and talk about going for less conspicuous.

I pack with a medium packy (mr. limpy style) and if I want to be less conspicuous, I can push it down in my briefs a bit farther than normal. If someone is hard-packing, it's almost impossible to be inconspicuous.

You can use a smaller packer, jeans/pants that fit less tightly, long shirts that hang over your crotch, etc. I'm mostly pretty conspicuous, even if I'm riding a little lower.

As to the offensiveness of a large bulge, that depends on context. If you're concerned, don't wear it on Easter Sunday, or around people who would be offended. My daily packer isn't terribly huge, but if I wanted to go for it and wear a hard-packer, I would... but not to work. For me, that's more of a going out on the town look. One of the benefits of having an 'after market' cock is you can choose the size, and change the size, to fit your mood of the moment.

I'd be with my lover, no question

I'd rather get that nasty flu I had last week

yes. I've played basketball and flag football on teams, and been a runner in track and cross country. Soccer is a sport I discovered in my mid 20s.. and I love it.

house on a beach, no question. I love being near the ocean, love walking on the beach, sitting, pondering life, hanging out with friends and loved ones. Beaches help me slow down and enjoy life.

Good question. I relate to some of the bad boy gone good characters, like Han Solo and some of Clint Eastwood's western genre characters.. guys who projected the bad guy vibe but were good guys on the inside.

Lloyd in the movie Say Anything is one I relate to a lot. He's got dreams and ambitions, but is an underdog in terms of accomplishing his goals. Once he finds the girl of his dreams, he does everything he can to get her to notice him, to fall in love with him. He doesn't mind playing the fool, displaying his heart on his sleeve... love is too important to him to be subtle about it. He doesn't have ego issues with the fact that her accomplishments and ambitions are in a strata far above his. He loves her and believes that love will find a way.

I use it, and when I hear it, especially in the proper context, it makes my cunt convulse quite happily .. I love to fuck cunts, spank cunts, lick them, suck them.. I love having my cunt fucked... any other questions?

Happy with myself. I want to finish out life knowing that I did my best, that I hurt as few people as possible, spread as much love and generosity and happiness as I could. I want to minimize regret, so that when the big light is about to go out, I can smile and go peacefully.

I want to be a full, responsible, consciously living person. I want to love myself unconditionally because I think it all starts there. I want to be the kind of person people can count on, the person my friends and family and community look to for support and courage. I want to be the kind of person who can ask for help and support and get it.
