"Let's make diversity visible!"

“As a trans man, I've always felt comfortable with my vulva. I have always appreciated its powerful sensitivity, that increased when my clit grew as a result of testosterone hormone therapy. I think society has a lack of understanding about how trans people feel towards our genitals. I used to think of my transness as a very singular experience because there is no one way to define how trans folks should feel or live. I would like to let people know that it is possible to me, as a trans person, to feel my transition completed without getting genital surgery. I don't need a penis to have satisfying sexual interactions. I enjoy it, I am able to give my partner pleasure and when I look in the mirror I find the person I always wanted to be.

Because of this feeling, I've never felt comfortable wearing a packer under my pants. I tried twice and the packer made me feel I lacked something I had actually never desired. The packer (not my vulva) made me feel dysphoria.

In order to make some visibility effort about the way I live my trans experience I would like to wear a lycra swimsuit without a packer soon (I used to wear swim shorts). Let's make diversity visible in order to get a safe use of public places such as gym restrooms and showers.

Thanks for your work! You have created an amazing project that has life of its own!”
