Normal questions for phallo (my personal experience, and facts)
"Do you feel anything?" - yes, I feel everything from touch, stroking, temperature, pain, pressure, pleasure, gusts of cold air. They do disconnect and reconnect nerves, so it does take time (years) depending on how you heal to have complete sensation. But you always have sensation there even beforr you are fully healed. I found the Urethral Lengthening Procedure and the Implants (erectile device and prothetic testicle). It took probably 3 years after all of the procedures for me to have what is called "complete tactile function".
"How do you get erect?" - it's a pump, after they create the scrotum (they use the labia for this), you get your pump installed into your main hand side (ex. My pump is on the right testie), and the other testie is just an implant. I squeeze my pump (or my partner), and then saline water is pumped from the testicle into two tubes (one on each side on my penis). Creating a natural looking erection besides having to pump. It only takes about six pumps for me. Doesn't take much effort. I have a three part inflatable device.
"How do you "deflate"/ go down after an erection" -on the testie that is the pump, there is a small button above it, it is actually kind of a small box with a button on it. I hold the button for about 15 seconds and just let my erection naturally go down.
"How many surgeries does it take?" - well, I guess four in total. You have your hysterectomy (which included for me a complete oophorectomy as well, recent advancements in this procedure have made it so an oophorectomy is now optional), then your phalloplasty the building and attaching of the phallis and vaginectomy only at this part. The next surgery was to connect my urethral, called urethra lengthening. The last surgery was to install the penile pump and testicular implant.
"What are the chances it will fall off?" - less than 1% in the hands of a skilled surgeon. (My surgeon told me this information as the source) - note post operative care is the most important part of healing properly.
"Where did they take the skin?" - they took the skin for my phallis from my forearm and used a thin layer of the skin on my upper thigh to cover the tissue left exposed on my arm.
"Do you have any issues today?" - No issues, I've been finished for quite a bit now. I enjoy sex, it feels good. It looks good. I've never been clocked even naked in a locker room. I do dribble sometimes if I hurry while urinating, and I have to use a special technique to ensure 100% emptiness, but I can pee just fine. I found the installation of the pump helps me urinate easier than without.
"Can you ejaculate?" - Yup! I can, at least. I also have pre-ejaculate. I ejaculate almost everytime I orgasm. (With this said, the ability to ejaculate, amount of, and frequency of are all variable factors that can depend on person to person)
"Is the orgasm different?" -yes! It feels better to me. It could be comfort, but ejaculating does feel good when you orgasm. Ejaculating can vary from person to person. This ejacuate is not like cis men's, it is a clear fluid from the Skenes Glands.
"Did you have any major issues?" - not really, I did have to see a wound clinic for my implant surgery. I had wounds that needed care. I got a bladder infection with the catheter during the healing stage of urethral lengthening and had it removed after just over two weeks (it was supposed to be in for six weeks), as a reference though one of my urine bags broke and I had a plastic baggie to try to repair it until I could get a replacement (i had to wait hours), I also have a compromised immune system. For my arm, I wore my compression sleeve 100% of the time, and my arm healed extremely well and flat. You just need to listen to the rules and be sure not to break them.
"Do you have to do anything (e.g weekly)?" - sorta, I have to make sure I pump fully once a week.
"Any issues urinating?" - nope, takes some getting used to, though (standing). I find that I dribble, but it's only when I'm rushing when I shake. I still sit most of the time, it's even very common in cis men as an FYI. (I asked a large group of cismen)
"Does it look real?" -Yes, my wife said she never would have known I was trans until I told her. All penises look different. Even getting an erection looks natural.
"Did you have any corrective surgeries?" -No, I got pretty great results the first time. I do plan on going to closer, regular plastic surgeon to put in a larger implant as my left testicle (non-pumping side).
Have any of your own questions? Send me an ask, I'll be happy to answer!
Stay Golden Everyone ✌️💙💜

How to Use Flashcards Effectively with 4-Year-Olds
Flashcards are a fantastic educational tool that can help young children develop a variety of skills, including memory, recognition, and language abilities. When used correctly, they can be both fun and effective in reinforcing learning concepts for 4-year-olds. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to use flashcards effectively with your preschooler.
Why Use Flashcards with 4-Year-Olds?
Flashcards offer numerous benefits for young learners:
Boost Memory and Recall: Regular use of flashcards helps improve a child’s ability to remember and recall information.
Enhance Vocabulary: Flashcards introduce new words and concepts, expanding a child’s vocabulary.
Develop Concentration: Focusing on flashcards helps children improve their attention span and concentration.
Encourage Active Learning: Flashcards promote active participation, making learning more engaging and interactive.
Choosing the Right Flashcards
When selecting flashcards for 4-year-olds, consider the following:
Age-Appropriate Content: Ensure the flashcards are designed for preschoolers, with simple words and images.
High-Quality Visuals: Look for flashcards with bright, clear pictures that are easy for children to recognize and understand.
Durability: Choose sturdy, laminated cards that can withstand frequent handling.
Variety: Include a mix of topics such as letters, numbers, animals, shapes, and colors to keep learning diverse and interesting.
How to Use Flashcards Effectively
1. Start with Familiar Concepts
Begin with flashcards that feature familiar objects and concepts to build confidence. For example, use cards with pictures of common animals, household items, or family members.
2. Keep Sessions Short and Sweet
Young children have limited attention spans, so keep flashcard sessions brief — around 5 to 10 minutes. Short, frequent sessions are more effective than long, infrequent ones.
3. Make It Interactive
Engage your child by making the activity interactive. Ask questions, encourage them to name the pictures, and praise their efforts. For instance, you can ask, “What animal is this?” or “Can you find the red card?”
4. Incorporate Movement
Incorporate physical activity into your flashcard sessions to make learning more dynamic. You can spread the cards on the floor and ask your child to jump to the correct card or use them in a scavenger hunt around the house.
5. Use Flashcards for Storytelling
Create simple stories using the flashcards. For example, if you have flashcards of animals, you can create a story about a day at the zoo. This helps to make learning contextual and memorable.
6. Practice Consistently
Consistency is key to effective learning. Use flashcards regularly to reinforce concepts and ensure your child retains the information. Aim for daily sessions, but be flexible and attentive to your child’s mood and interest.
7. Play Flashcard Games
Make learning fun by incorporating games. Here are a few ideas:
Memory Match: Lay the cards face down and take turns flipping them over to find matching pairs.
Flashcard Bingo: Create bingo cards with flashcard images and use the flashcards as calling cards.
Sorting Games: Have your child sort the flashcards into different categories, such as animals, colors, or shapes.
8. Combine with Real-Life Objects
Enhance learning by pairing flashcards with real-life objects. For example, show a flashcard of an apple and then provide an actual apple for your child to see and touch. This reinforces the connection between the image and the real object.
9. Track Progress
Keep track of the flashcards your child has mastered and those they need more practice with. This helps you focus on areas that need improvement and ensures a balanced learning experience.
10. Be Patient and Encouraging
Learning with flashcards should be a positive experience. Be patient, offer plenty of encouragement, and celebrate your child’s successes, no matter how small.

Phalloplasty Procedure Full Outline Offical (Radical Free Flap Procedure)
What is phalloplasty/ phallo?
Phalloplasty - "includes several surgical procedures that aim to construct male genitalia that looks as natural as possible. The surgery is divided into several steps that may vary from patient to patient. Generally, they are the three following steps" (Source1) . We aren't going to count if the prerequisite of hysterectomy. Since my surgical procedure, they have removed the requisite of an oophorectomy, that procedure is now optional thanks to the always advancing technology.
The first step:
a surgery that consists of creating a penis from a skin flap from a specific area of your body (most common areas are forearm and lower back) of the body that you would chat about with the surgeon(s) and that specific skin will be grafted to the genital area.
The second step:
Here, surgeons construct the urethra that will llow urination. This is known as Urethra Lengthening (often referred to UL) (Urethra Lengthening Procedure Post)
The third step:
At this stage, you will receive testicular and erectile implants that will allow for penetrative sex. Note: this is not the only type of phalloplasty sugerical options.
The first surgical step consists of:
the creation of a penis or phallus from a skin flap and fatty tissue of the donorn site involving the removal of blood vessels (to create a blood supply) and nerves (this is where nerves are disconnected and reconnected, which can take some time to gain full tactile function or feeling. This skin will be grafted to the genital area where a penis would naturally sit on your body. The next part of the procedure is:
"the burial of the clitoris at the base of the phallus;
the creation of the penile urethra within the phallus;
the lengthening of the biological urethra;
the creation of the glans;
the creation of the scrotum;
the closing of the vaginal cavity; and
the removal of a layer of skin from the thigh to compensate for tissue loss
on the donor arm." - (Source1) Some of these things are not the same for every surgeon, be sure to ask about if your clitoris could be not buried for example, or different pumping systems, varying styles in surgerical procedures from clinic to clinic, even surgeon to surgeon.
The second step consists of the construction of the urethra:
This procedure connects the penile urethra so the part of the urethra inside the phallus itself to your biological urethra that was elongated in the first step of the phalloplasty surgical procedure. The connection of the urethra is made by creating a tube from the skin of the scrotum between the openings of both parts of the urethra.
Note that the anatomical makeup of the phallus is composed of only skin, fatty tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.
It does not contain any muscles or a sphincter (a muscle that opens and closes like your butt does aka "the breakwall"), which means that after the second step, you may have to empty your urine either temporarily or permanently manually from the portion of the phallus by applying pressure to the phallus. (UL Article)
A minimum of a six month waiting period is necessary between this and the next stage planning.
Permanent hair removal from the area that will be used to construct the urethra is also required to avoid complications (unless during the consult the doctor states otherwise). Note that it is impossible to determine in advance which area will be depilated since it must be evaluated after Step one. It is at this time that you will receive information about hair removal,
The third step:
Involves insertion of implants (erectile device and testicular implants).
This procedure will allow you to be able to get an erection in your penis (phallus) and now you have the ability of penetrative sex. Erectile Devcies Post
You will have to wait a minimum of three to six months after the second step (healing and surgeon(s) pending) and have no urinary problems before planning the third step. If complications do come up, they will have to be completely treated and healed before the implant surgery can be performed.
"Depending on the surgeon's assessment, the second and third steps may be reversed." (Source1)
Everyone has to decide whether to undergo one, two, or all three steps. Meaning you can stop after any phase/step of the three)
This choice is super personal and must be made according to what you need, your expectations of the outcome, and the impact it has on your daily life.
There are a few factors that may influence your decisions, such as wanting to urinate while standing, the desire to have penetrative sex, having more masculine genitalia, etc.
The estimated time to complete all three stages of phalloplasty can vary from two to three years, including the waiting I'm between surgeries.
These results may vary according to the age, weight, quality, and elasticity of the skin at the donor site, the scarring process, lifestyle habits and the overall health of the patients, healing, how well you take care of yourself, etc. The radial forearm free-flap technique is shown to produce the best results from bottom masculinizing surgery options.
Mandatory Prerequisites for Phalloplasty:
Hysterectomy with removal of the cervix done minimum six months before the phalloplasty procedure. *There are two options for this: removing the uterus only (called "total hysterectomy"), or option two removing the uterus, fallopian tubes, and the ovaries, also called "total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy"*
Permanent hair removal (second step when recommended to start). The recommended options are laser hair removal or electrolysis, which may be more beneficial for results. from the area of the phallus donor site to prevent complications with hair growth (fistuals), which can cause issues such as infection and even surgerical intervention to fix the issue area(s). Surgeons typically like to see the graft site not have any hair growth for a minimum of three months.
Talk to your primary physician and/or gynecologist to help you make an informed decision about your choice on the type of hysterectomy you get.
And talk to your surgeon and your primary doctor about which option of hair removal is better suited if one is not insisted on you using it.
A vaginectomy can be removed since only 2 cm will be used for the phallus.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Before phalloplasty can be performed, it is important to know that you must have a healthy weight or have a BMI under 30, and you can not have excessive fat accumulation in your abdominal area.
"Being overweight and abdominal fat can compromise the connection of blood vessels during the procedure and lead to significant surgical complications.
If your BMI is 31 or higher you be most likely required to lose weight before the surgeon will perform the procedure.
Patients with a high BMI also have a decreased potential for healing and decreased satisfaction with surgical results." - (Source1)

Environmentalist:
What is an environmentalist?
Am I an environmentalist? Can I even become one?
These are big questions. Questions that haunt my mind into the late hours of the night. Questions that we will be answering today.
The Cambridge Dictionary provides us with the following definition: "a person who is interested in or studies the environment and who tries to protect it from being damaged by human activities." (1)
Britannica proves handy and provides us with the definition for environmentalism as: "a political and ethical movement that seeks to improve and protect the quality of the natural environment through changes to environmentally harmful human activities; through the adoption of forms of political, economic, and social organization that are thought to be necessary for, or at least conductive to, the benign treatment of the environment by humans: and through the reassessment of humanity's relationship with nature." (2)
We can now take a deep breath and reread those definitions, because they are a mouthful.
The answers to our big questions have been discovered.
An environmentalist cares about the environment as much as they care about people (sometimes more).
You might not be an environmentalist right now, but the good news is that you can CHOOSE to become one. (Capital letters were used to emphasis the fact that this is a life altering choice that takes 1 second to make, yet can literally help ensure the survival of many species).
The good news. You and I, and your best friend and your online gamer friends can all become environmentalist and join the environmentalism movement if we choose to, and we should choose to.
That brings us to our next big question: Why?
Why should I become an environmentalist?
I would normally answer this with a why not, but lifestyle choices are hard one to make as our lifestyle is normally dictated by sociology and a dash of psychology. The honest reality is that you should become an environmentalist because the environment needs you. The environment needs more voices to speak on its behalf, to fight for it, and to not only help clean it up but to also help prevent the polluting of it.
This is a choice that each and every single one of us needs to make. Do I want to be a part of the problem, or do I want to be a part of the solution.
(Don't worry, you do not have to become a vegan to be an environmentalist and make a difference. If you are vegan, that is also super cool. )
Until next time....
Stay Green. Keep Growing.
(References: 1 https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/environmentalist 2 https://www.britannica.com/topic/environmentalism )
