    Probably worth a look at https://costplusdrugs.com/ , $70 sounds kinda high for a med but idk what would be “normal” price for that. Actually I haven’t been on any meds in so long I have no idea what any meds beyond off the shelf stuff costs 😅

    As for bottom surgery… if you ain’t got one, you can pick whatever size/color/shape bits you want, at any time, for any occasion, but once a doctors attached something it’s there its… there. And present. Constantly. I’d love to see a future where we can get “grow your own” style bottom “treatments” via CRISPR or something, instead of surgeries.

      This website doesn’t list any kind of testosterone, unfortunately. I’m in the US and typically testosterone gel is around $150. It’s a lot more expensive than testosterone injections, which are around $20. I am needlephobic so I take testosterone gel. Also a lot of trans men have more mood swings on injections especially in the last few days before injecting again.

      Edit: hi Zorsith I didn’t realize it was you

        That’s unfortunate. Don’t think I could handle doing injections on myself either, I’m fine with docs usually but that’s a whole other animal of uncomfortable.

      I do want one, but I stumbled across bottom surgery pictures and wooo that was intense. Also recovery is awful from what I’ve heard. There’s also two main options: somewhat normal looking dick but they have to take a skin graft from your arm so you have a permanent scar on there, plus it can’t get erect naturally (phalloplasty). Then there’s teeny tiny micropenis that can get erect but it’s too small to go in anything most of the time (metaoidplasty).

      Grow your own would be the ideal…there’s this one episode of South Park which sucks cuz it makes fun of trans women but there’s a whole thing where they figure out how to grow penises on rats and transplant it to humans. That would be so cool.

        South Park has its moments. Big Gay Al’s pet store I remember being oddly wholesome, but it’s been nearly a decade since I saw it so idk if it would hold up.

          Big gay Al was a good episode. I wish they’d make a good trans episode for once. Their “oops, maybe we were wrong about trans people” episode was super mid.
