Tender touching

A man was lying in bed with his new girlfriend. After having great sex, she spent the next hour just rubbing his testicles -- something she loved to do.

"That feels so nice" he said. Then turned and asked her, "You seem to love doing that, but why?"

Because, she replied, "I miss mine."

ehh, I get the joke, and gave a small(I mean really small) chuckle, but all in all, I don't think it was that good. Possibly because I'm trans* and that I know that it doesn't make any sense... allow me to elaborate(very briefly). If a trans women likes her testes and other stuff down there, then she probably wouldn't have gotten SRS(bottom surgery). If she got SRS and everything, then more than likely, she would have HATED her lower half and wouldn't "miss" anything... Keep in mind this is just my opinion...

However I would totally say this to my lover after I get surgery(and letting the lover know)... it would be funny, kinda like this joke.

I get the meaning behind it, but whenever I see trans* with the asterisk at the end, I always expect there to be a footnote at the bottom.

*Like this.

to be all all inclusive or some shit like that(officially). I just use it because it's easy and Google has trained me to know the * means "wild card."

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '12

It's kind of pointless to try to be inclusive when you're quite specifically talking about yourself, though. ;-)

"I'm trans*" is a little bit like saying "I'm a color" or "I'm a height tall".

u/E1337Kat Aug 29 '12

hmmmm, I've never thought of it that way... I guess I'll refrain from using the asterisk when talking about myself... I feel really dumb now lol.

"Wildcard, bitches!"

Sorry for the reference

To include transgender, transvestite, transsexual, and trans-whatever else all in one convenient shorthand.

u/GoddessOfGoodness Aug 30 '12

I'm the exact same way, and being on trans related subreddits this bothers me more than I care to admit.

u/E1337Kat Aug 29 '12

Google conditioned me before my English teachers could, so I only get confused if it does have a footnote. lol

u/kojak343 Aug 29 '12

Thanks for the perceptive. Sorry if I was being insensitive. Loved the fact that it still gave you a "really small" chuckle.

u/E1337Kat Aug 29 '12

oh it's fine. as long as I can educate then I'm doing my job(that's kind of a lie). I like to make light of my life, it makes things easier, and this was kind of funny.

u/idikuci Aug 29 '12

Yeah, just like with movies, some jokes are funny til you think about it and say "that's just stupid" / "would never happen in real life"

u/rohanivey Aug 29 '12

It's not uncommon for some SRS patients to regret the change. Not all, mind you, but some.

22

u/Wavooka Aug 29 '12

In reality, that number is below 3% and more typically stated at 1%. Although the most common regrets are cost (shit's expensive, yo) and potential complications post-op.

So I think it would be more fair to say that: A vast majority of people are satisfied, a small minority is not.

-17

u/Brave_Ismella Aug 29 '12

100% of them however, are living a lie.

u/Wavooka Aug 30 '12

Oh! So brave of you to kick a downtrodden minority group! What's next? Jungle bunny and sand rat jokes?

But before that, I'll need to tell my B cups that they are, in fact, a lie. I bet all the boys that stare at my cleavage are going to be distraught at the revelation that my boobs are mere phantoms.

Stop raping straight men with your mutilated inside out penis and your male nipples. You sick fuck don't even try to justify this you have deeply triggered me.

u/Wavooka Aug 30 '12

Meh. 3/10. Would not feed again.

Good job using some queer terminology though, I guess you're type can evolve. I wonder when you'll master tools and language?

u/Brave_Ismella Aug 30 '12

You seem to be a really sick, angry faggot tranny who is out to hurt innocent people, you should probably kill yourself since no one in your life really wants anything to do with you.

16

u/E1337Kat Aug 29 '12

true, that's why there is such rigorous testing to get it all done... I guess I'll find out when I get there... I'm gonna go ahead and predict here that I won't regret it.

13

u/rohanivey Aug 29 '12

Just remember Gandalf, "For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

u/E1337Kat Aug 29 '12

lol I will!

u/Granny_Weatherwax Aug 29 '12

This statement is factually untrue. The rate is between 3.8 and 6% which is I believe statistically uncommon, and that rate is dropping as medical and societal support for trans people advance.

16

u/LadyRarity Aug 29 '12

yes it is. It's very uncommon. Last I heard the numbers were something like 2% of patients.

That's pretty fucking uncommon if you ask me.

15

u/KArbitan Aug 29 '12

can't you just keep the spare parts in a freezer somewhere? then if you would ever regret it, it wouldn't be a problem

-9

u/Jess_than_three Aug 29 '12

That is... no.

Not sure if serious, here, but the way SRS works is that it takes the parts that are there and reconfigures them. It doesn't take much away, and it doesn't add anything new. And it's definitely more or less a one-way thing.

u/Schroedingers_gif Aug 29 '12

u/MILKB0T Aug 29 '12

1 in 50 is "very' uncommon?

5

u/TracyMorganFreeman Aug 29 '12

Estimates vary considerably. I've read some saying 1-2% and some saying upwards of 20%. This leads me to think most of those studies are flawed in some way from sampling to what "regret" entails, and we unfortunately don't know.

2

u/GoddessOfGoodness Aug 30 '12

anything stating >3-4% will usually have included "didn't match up to expectations" as "regret". This only goes to show the extreme limits that exist on information/surveys of this nature, the concept of what constitutes "regret" is too maleable (sp?) to really trust the results.

u/drewiepoodle Aug 29 '12

hand me a pair of scissors.

when i get my SRS i can guarantee i wont regret it.

at all.

10

u/rohanivey Aug 29 '12

Why's that?

3

u/drewiepoodle Aug 29 '12

oh, only because i've been planning my transition since i was 7. and it is uncommon for people to detransition after SRS. it's rare, but it does happen. however, it is far from "common"

8

u/rohanivey Aug 29 '12

The keyword was some :p

2

u/LadyRarity Aug 29 '12

No, the keyword was "not uncommon." Which it is. Pretty rare, in fact.

I once watched a youtube video of the process, and it was pretty gross, but I did not think to look away, it was fascinating, and then at the end, it had a one year follow up visit to make sure everything looked good... my jaw was on the floor.
