Uncomfortable is a good nickname for me - I tend to ask all the uncomfortable questions on first meeting just cos I'm curious. If you're the type to be offended, you're going to be offended and I'll probably just smile and walk away. They're just questions and no one is forcing anyone to answer.
That being said - I appreciate your post and your opinions. :) Thank you for sharing this, hopefully people can use it to better overstand others.
Bless Iyah.
Feel free to ask whatever! That is exactly why I posted this, the open opportunity.
While I still hold the right to answer with, "I'm not comfortable answering that or too personal," I'm yet to actually use that.
And thank you! While it's been somewhat exhausting since I try to be thorough with my answers and not just copy and paste, it's been extremely gratifying.
I very much with you hoping this can be very useful to others! :)
Do you pee standing up or sitting down? And if you're post-op, which did you prefer in the past?
Personally, I prefer sitting and peeing - especially if I'm drunk. Its just so much easier and the dribbles don't hit the toilet for later cleaning.
Hehe, I can say I've only been asked this a couple times in the past.
I am pre-op and I've pretty much peed sitting down for a while now. Sitting is easier, just have to make sure nothing dribbled onto the seat. :)
I will admit once in a blue moon get that 'fuck it' attitude and stand. But that's pretty rare.
I would add that while I have absolutely no problem answering this, other transpeople may not care to.
