Thank you so much for the writeup! I'll keep this in my pocket until the long, long wait for my vagina is finally over.

I wear a tucking gaff under tight pants every day. I'm above-average size and have had the sack skin falling out issue too. Generally with tucking you want your balls pushed up into those little pockets in your upper pubic area, where they were before they descended. It'll get easier over time as your balls shrink if you're on HRT. Mine just chill out there on their own a lot of the time now after a little over a year on HRT.

This is how I do it: First, put on the gaff loosely and position the front lower than you think it should be. This is so you can hike up the sides and the back to keep it tight later. It also helps keep the sack skin contained since the gaff will be positioned to be wider further down. After that, grab the head of your penis from behind, arm behind your back and reaching between your legs, reaching into the gaff, and pull your penis back between your legs, so that the head is almost to your asshole. Don't pull your penis too too far back or it'll be painful later. Pull up the gaff, tight so the penis stays in place, with sides and back going pretty high up to keep it tight. The gaff needs to be tight! The gaff should keep your balls up in those pockets and your penis tucked under without it slipping forward.

I use BBLAIR tucking gaffs in XS size with my 36 inch hips and 29 inch waist. (For me at least, I buy bottoms based more on hip measurement rather than waist, since my hips are a lot narrower than most cis women's, or at least typical women's pants.)

More than 1.4% of the US population (5 million people) protested on the same day nationwide a few days ago. It's not nothing. It gives me some hope. I'm a non-passing trans woman and am well aware of the coming danger.

But the cabinets are too low to fit appliances under them.

My favorite debunking is an old YouTube video called "moon hoax not" where a filmmaker explains that the due to technology limits of the time, faking the multi-hour live broadcasts in slow-motion, which millions of people were watching, would be impossible without there being telltale signs of it being spliced film (the splicing, film grain, etc.). Since slow-mo video (distinct from film; TV broadcasts were video) at the time could not play back more than a few seconds of footage, at most, it would have to be high-speed film played back at normal speed. Assuming you could find or make a high-speed camera fit to task. While the first landing had awful video quality, later missions had much higher quality and the film fakery would be impossible to completely hide. People these days massively overestimate the video (and film) technology that was available in 1969. (IIRC. It's been years since I've last rewatched it.)

Edit: TL;DR: Perfectly faking the multi-hour uninterrupted video broadcasts (i.e., either inventing slow-motion video that can last hours, or perfectly passing off a multi-hour film as video) in slow-motion would have been significantly more difficult than sending humans to the moon with 1969 technology.

Well, thank you, I learned something today! Damn you, English! shakes fist (the language, not the Amish term for non-Amish people)

Plenty of Americans find those things "weird". Myself, for instance.

It's hard to ~~effect~~ ~~affect~~ effect (why, English, why 😭) change with just the two corrupt parties, with one being center-right and the other being far-right, and a voting system that keeps it that way. At least ranked-choice voting for some elections (reducing the pressure maintaining the two-party system) is up for a vote in my state soon.

Edit: affect (v.)/effect (n.)

IIRC, they didn't raise it because of the crashes. It's a privately owned rail line and they don't care about that because the bridge itself wasn't being damaged. It needed to be renovated anyway so they raised it to be level with the nearby at-grade crossing while they were at it.

Is that Yellow Bird Habanero hot sauce? Good stuff. Know any good replacements for Huy Fong chili garlic?
