        I had to look up packers because I didn’t know that was a thing. If it happened to me I think I’d just stare at it confused for a bit, trying to figure out what it was for. “Is that a penis? It is! Is it a dildo? It doesn’t look big enough…” I’d push it under once I realized the person probably wanted it back. Now I know what they are, though, so I’m ready in case it ever happens! “A packer! Lemmy has prepared me for this day!” And I’d confidently push it back ASAP.

          Yeah same–I think once I saw it was a dildo my first thought wouldn’t be packer because I didn’t know about them, but that it was a kink thing like how some people might walk around with a plug in one day. So in that case I wouldn’t wanna touch it with my shoe.

            Packers aren’t shaped like dildos, though, since their purpose isn’t to penetrate a hole, but to look like a regular crotch bulge. So it’d be obvious it didn’t come from an orifice.

      I like to believe that dude was in a rush bc he needed a deuce, so the conclusion to the story was him retrieving his dick and saying back “thanks bro *fffftpthpppppppaaaaabrapppthphff” and the other guy frantically wiping before the stank clouds wafted over

    This reminds me of another Tumblr post. The poster was also a trans man and he was using a homemade packer, but is slipped out while he was walking down a hallway at school. Unfortunately, a teacher just happened to be passing at the time and saw it happen. The teacher just flatly said “Man, I hate when that happens.”

    I was working costumes for a play one time. The play had a scene with a bear in it, so we ordered a bear suit. Not a kinky suit for fucking, just a completely mundane bear suit.

    It arrived, delivered to my front door step, in a big brown box on which was stamped in large letters:

    ##BEAR SUIT: SEX##

    I’m pretty sure they meant “Unisex,” but whatever. Thanks, costume company.

    If a dude’s gotta go, then he’s gotta go, so he’ll need his dick back.

    I’ve got admit, that I know nothing about the practicalities of being trans. Can pre-op trans guys piss at a stall? Like how do they aim? Apparently they can, and all the power to them, but how do they get it that far? I’m not saying that my dick extends a meter, but if I point it forward that’s where the stream goes… Most of the time anyway. But can a person with female genitalia really get it to go that much forward?

      Short answer: yes.
      I’m not anatomically equipped to know from first hand experience so I can only go by what I’ve been told by people who are. Evidently a few showers is enough practice to get to basic, unremarkable discreet standing urination within a short range. Like middle of bathtub to the drain.

      I’ve mostly heard of people learning for ease while camping or hiking, but with a little more practice and knowledge that you need a longer fly I can’t imagine it would be anything that would even be noticeable in the restroom.

      Assuming you don’t drop your dick on the floor.

      Some folks of the unaltered female phenotype can pee standing by angling and sort of tactically spreading everything apart with their fingers but it takes practice. Generally they can’t aim well enough to do it pants on. Testosterone will cause a lengthening of the clitoris in some trans guys making it easier but it’s not universal that pre op trans guys put in the work for this skill and one of the main advantages of Phalloplasy is gaining the function to easily piss in a stall.
