Penis Discourse
From transgender Reddit, a new niche woe. Specifically,
And more specifically,
We’re all learning things today.
Again, learning things.
Ooh. So close.
In subsequent replies, the similarly traumatising terms gock and bussy are also pondered, along with girldick and female penis. And yes, these will be on Friday’s test.
Other commenters suggest a policy of coyness on the subject:
The terrible wrongness of terminological appropriation crops up, as do thoughts as to which terms are most affirming of a gentleman’s state of ladylikeness. Another contributor, a “genderfluid he/she/they,” insists that, as one would obviously defer to a person’s pronouns, one should likewise defer to that person’s preferred terms for their genitals. Because discussing the other person’s genitals is a thing that happens, apparently.
Those unschooled in the world of transgender penis discourse will find much to chew on.

‘…the impression that trans women aren’t really women.’
It’s a bit more than an impression, I feel.
Just in case that particular Reddit disappears:
Wouldn’t want you to think I’m making this up.
“She” either hangs out with strange men or is making stuff up.
There was a lie told so people wouldn’t think too much about the consequences of their not being allowed to discriminate. The lie was that you won’t realistically want/need to discriminate because the new arrivals to your organic community are just like you only more so because what you are by default they are by choice and willpower.
But the arrangement as it turned out was that we’ll hold you to that polite lie but we don’t have to make the slightest effort to pass; we can flaunt attributes and behavior that would discredit our case if you were allowed to discriminate, but if you even mention those attributes you’re a hate criminal. It was a show of power to humiliate the host community. But if members of the incoming community also want to believe those lies themselves, they’ve got some compartmentalizing to do.
“Retractable landing gear” … also see “hard landing” which is clearly and exactly as stated.
I doubt that.
Having made the mistake of clicking the link (this episode is brought to you by Proton VPN) and despite rather quickly punching out over the manifest derangement, the whole thing is a level of depravity that would embarrass Caligula.

A thread about insurance.
I have seen feminists claim this also but aside from the now and then joke, it is simply not true. Hetero men also do not discuss sex with their wives.
Totally not mentally ill, you guys. TOTALLY not.
Now wondering whether tallywhacker sounds sufficiently ladylike.
Maybe not men, but some…men…take a very long time to grow out of that adolescent teenage thing where their dicks are all that they can talk about. But to the joke part, there is a competition some men* get into to see who can top the previous exaggeration of “well my dick is so big…”. Some of us enjoy that sort of thing. YMMV.
*If you spent some time drinking beer with a certain age group of veterans…
Or todger, perhaps.
We may need some input from the ladies.
[ Looks at ladies. ]
At last I find some common ground with the ‘trans woman’ community.
Since you’re in the ‘t’s, try tonker.
Or thingie.

Okay, I’ll bite.
All the terms listed for the aforesaid organ don’t sound in the least bit ladylike to me, but then that bit’s not a ladypart, so why should it?
I know – to the correction booth with me.
Careful or this could turn into a Penthouse Forum letters scene*.
* If so, I call dibs on blood engorged zeppelin and giant sequoia. And I deport myself immediately to the correction booth, taking my burned coat with me. I’ll light it on fire myself.
Is this the perfect thread to insert The Penis Song?
I’m only here for the food. Y’all are embarrassing.
Anyway, the correct term for the “new lady’s” bits is <signal lost> <attempting reacquisition>
We have a wide selection of… er, jerky.

Sigh. I would like to laugh at this, but dang it, I’ve been here before.
I generally have stopped interacting with the trans community in my area for this very reason.
I super don’t want to hear about anyone’s trans-sexual adventures. From my perspective, these sorts of discussions are crude at best. Unfortunately, stepping foot into any ‘trans-friendly space’ almost assures you will hear discussions about bulges, girlcock, inappropriate sexual exploits, etc.. You can’t get away from it –it’s rife within the community.
The OP is absolutely spot-on however. Someone with actual gender dysphoria (GD) would not likely discuss the one thing they are trying to get away from.
Logic would dictate that if these people who are fixated on fetish and kink and want to discuss their genitals and what they do with them probably aren’t suffering from GD. More likely these people are cross dressers, fetishists and perverts exploiting the expansion of the trans label. The DSM5 created this mess and as you might have already assumed, I’m not a fan.
An actual transsexual typically does not want to stand out –they want to blend-in and just be in their identity –an identity that conforms to their own self perception. To that end, an actual transsexual would work extremely hard to make sure that they aren’t getting ‘clocked’ (revealed as trans). Discussions about girlcock are antithetical to everything a transsexual is trying to do.
GD is about self perception. It’s a mental illness. Transition is a therapy to alleviate the symptoms of GD; it’s not the only treatment by the way. To my mind, transition should only used when nothing else works. Unfortunately, that’s clearly not what is happening anymore.
Transition, when properly prescribed, managed, and monitored, is a very effective therapy for GD, but these people are not doing any of that. GD is a mental illness, and it sucks to have; believe me, I freaking know –I’ve been transitioned for a long time now.
In my opinion, these people that have ‘just decided’ for themselves that they are trans, do not have GD and should not be considered transgender / transsexual.
Whatever it is that they are doing, it is certainly not therapeutic and has nothing to do with issues of identity or self perception. Don’t get me wrong, these people are absolutely nuttier than squirrel shit, but GD havers they are not. I think it would help the world immensely if we would simply call these people something else –the transsexual and transgender labels are already taken . . . they need to find something else. My less sympathetic self would just place these folks under the ‘pervert’ rubric, but I suspect there would be resistance.
Sorry about the rant.
I was in the military then in civil aviation, two of the most masculine fields (97% of commercial pilots were men when I started as one). We didn’t discuss our penises. “SFW” in our ops office (civilian) included midget porn. Our inspector from the regulator was allegedly asked to resign for sexually harassing a client company’s female staff member. Our accounts lady appreciated his ways and took it as a compliment, so the complaint did not come from us, but the accusation was believable.
So yeah, it was not a prudish office. Not once did we discuss penises.
Okay, I’ll bite.
Please, no teeth.
This reddit needs a renaming.

To clarify I was responding to this below:
If the dude really doesn’t like his dick there is an infallible one-time solution. However that would actually involve walking the walk when all he wants is to talk the talk.
Putting out the good stuff.
That incident was a memorable step in my realization of just how thoroughly twisted the left is: All the liberals I knew who mentioned the incident laughed and thought that cutting off the man’s penis was not just acceptable but praiseworthy. When I asked if similar behavior on the part of a woman would justify cutting off her clitoris they became very angry.
It does seem within the bounds of possibility. As I said a while ago,
But accepting a person as obviously and unassailably being whatever it is they say they are, however unlikely, and affirming those claims at all times and without hesitation, is the new piety. And so, inevitably, complications ensue.
Not an issue. You’ve met WTP, I take it?

Careful or I will relate my recent Bluetooth experience. There was blood. Literally. If my isopropyl, paper towel, and duct tape solution doesn’t work, stitches may be required. And of course I do not relate well to medical “professionals”.
Oh, and on top of that…the sheriff’s office yesterday allowed a criminal to wander off from his work detail a little over a mile away from us at the county dump. He still hasn’t been caught. The women in the neighborhood are slipping into hyper hysteria…but at least it’s not 100 F here.
Added:
Meant to also say thank you to Twin Cities Teegan. I greatly appreciate your first person perspective and pray things work out for you. Not that my prayers are worth crap, though. God and His angels are I’m sure enjoying good belly laughs over the previously alluded to Bluetooth incident.

It’s probably too early to rule out amputation.
I sliced off a bit of my thumb a couple of years ago and I swear it’s grown back.
The doctor will talk to you now. About climate change.
Is this before or after he’s jammed a finger up your jacksie?
See, now I’m almost wanting to hear how setting up Bluetooth can result in wounding and actual bloodshed.
I said almost.
I can think of a few things that ought to be jammed up commissars’ jacksies….
That could backfire if she tried it on me. I’ve been following the pseudoscience intensely since the early ’90s, and I’ll bet I can convert her before she converts me.
At least until she calls in the intern to perform the prostate exam.

Yeaahhhh…the reason the inventor of the faux vaginoplasty procedure eventually stopped performing or recommending it is that makes absolutely no difference to the long-term suicide rates from sexual dysmorphia, which have remained at ~40% for decades regardless of amount of societal acceptance or lack thereof. (There are reliable reports that it’s now closer to 50%, but that increase appears to be attributable to people who were transitioned as minors due to social contagion)
You’ve met WTP, I take it?
What does a guy have to do to get noticed around here?

One thing I do not miss about being a data center technician is coming home after work with my arms covered in cuts and scratches after racking a dozen servers. Neither server racks nor the innards of high-density servers have the rough edges of their aluminum plates buffed smooth before delivery to the end user.
It’s too soon. Some day I will be able to look back on it and laugh though. Some day.
Pseudoscience that costs what, trillions of dollars per year?
It’s like, after applying the leeches, asking if anyone in the family is a witch.
Who knew undiscovering fire would be so costly.

Is there anything in Project2025 about camps for these people?
No such thing.
I witnessed how these AGP males have not only celebrated getting to use the T label solely by declaration, but any one (especially any women) who says “Whoa, hold on. Let’s discuss” is subject to vicious bullying. Bullying that won’t be stopped because *they* are now the favored minority that can do no wrong. And so the “Queering of the culture” continues apace, now with law and bureaucrats behind them.
I’ve asked more than once — in discussing women’s sex-based rights — give me an objective test on how to separate “sincere” trans from the AGP/Queer/Gender Fluid frauds who are gaming the system for their own jollies.
“BIGOT! TERF!” and assorted threats are the only answer I have ever received.
Shouldn’t be surprising I have lost any and all sympathy for that “community”.
I nominate “mental patient.”

I’m not certain I’ve ever seen the word “toolkit”, in reference to anything other than a physical kit of tools, used by anyone who didn’t need kicking down a flight of stairs.
Fortunately for the local medical community, my bank account, and my blood pressure, the duct tape, isopropyl, and paper towel fix appears to be holding.
Sounds like it involved actual cerulean choppers.
Not for love or money.
If they’re shrieking death threats at TERFs, they’re pervs.
Heh. Close. Now that you mention it, the handsaw that was Bluetooth’s accomplice was of the Lowes/Kobalt brand.
Only anecdotal of course, but properly adult men never discuss their own penises.
They sometimes discuss the penis of other men in jest, usually in a derogatory way. But any adult man who did that more than very occasionally would be thought to have a problem.
It does make you wonder who these T-types hung out with before they sought to “change” sex. Because it does not seem to have been normal men.
The quality of one’s opponents.
Hey, you should see the amount of last-minute cropping and pruning that happens before I post a comment. When the comment is five times longer than the actual post, a little bell rings.
Heh. Well, don’t say you weren’t invited.
I’m still processing the claim that “men incessantly discuss their dicks,” and are forever “proudly talking about, displaying, and constantly joking about” said organ. That this is “typical male behaviour.”
I mean, as an opening assertion, it’s a bold one.
Or hella revealing of what kind of company you keep.
Over the decades, I can’t think of many instances in which the topic has come up, let alone casual displays. I certainly wouldn’t describe such events as “typical.” A brother-in-law did once feel an urge to share with us a post-surgery bruise that was in an unhappy place, but this was met with hurried looks away and the word oversharing.
WTP : So, if medical professionals are right out, what about medical amateurs? I’m available for consults 24/7, and given that I have no way to actually bill anyone, all these mad skillz come pretty cheap. No idea what the problem might be, of course, but for bleeding control a wad of anything clean and absorbent secured tightly by duct tape sounds like a good start. Elevating the injury also a sound approach, if practicable. No leeches, mind, they thin the blood and interfere with the clotting response.
Darleen, Dicentra and others pondering the same themes: investigating the original Reddit writing I found that it had been taken down, but, oddly to me, that the comments thereon were still accessible. Bit of a learning experience, yes, but YOLO and all that. The fact that quite a lot of self-pronounced transgender females seem drawn to behaviors that don’t so much suggest Parody as scream it, was fully in evidence, as witness the fellow who was looking forward to his top surgery when he could get his “G or H cups” installed. I was instantly reminded of my Pre-Cambrian college days and a roommate who was a 32 DD; breast reduction was not A Thing back then, and her life was a misery. Why does this clown imagine that getting a set of monstrous udders is going to “complete” him? Personally, I’m just mean enough to hope that he gets everything he’s asking for.
And I might add that I spent 35+ years in professions largely (at the time at least) staffed by men, white collar and the bluest of blue, and never, Ever heard any public mention, let alone discussion, of dicks. Sober or drunk, in work or out of it, the topic somehow never surfaced. And I promise, it wasn’t that they were to a man struck by Sudden Gentlemanly Reticence Syndrome due to a female presence, because they certainly had no restraints regarding any other issues of , er, delicacy. Just, the subject never arose. So to speak.
The man’s clearly a professional. Let him do his work.
Oops. It’s Megaera, not Negaera. So much for my keyboarding skills. I do promise it isn’t dementia, though. Yet.
If this place isn’t a perfect venue for surgery, I don’t know what is.
We may have to move that ashtray.
Most likely, I think, is that they conjured that behavior out of their own obsessions: They thought about it constantly and so it became a constant part of their speech. (And they associated only with other similarly damaged people who would never tell them otherwise.)
Who is this quack? Next thing you know she’ll be denying the humoral theory.
Probably an excess of yellow bile. I recommend cupping and a purgative.
No such thing
Unless, perhaps those few unfortunate beings born hermaphrodites. Other they are eunuchs (male and chopped, female ovaries removed) or cross-dressers/transvestites (male and female unchopped).
Oh excellent, a skilled fellow practitioner! We can share remedies, quaff a dram or two of piss (diagnostic purposes only, of course) and compare numbers of patients we’ve buried. This is great!

They are, however, pickled.
and I think it only furthers the impression that trans women aren’t really women.
In my sophomore year in high school, I played the role of Aunt Abby in a production of Arsenic and Old Lace. This remind me of one of my lines from that play: “It may not be very charitable of me, but I’ve almost come to the conclusion that this Mr. Hitler isn’t a Christian.”
Much as I hate to defend the ludicrous assertion it is a fact that Sinatra and his ratpack buddies would greet each other by asking “how’s your bird?”
The expression became so well known that it was used as the title of a compilation album.
Yes, but how are your sewing skillz? I can supply my own whiskey but for only a couple stitches I doubt anesthesia will be required.
