FTM Advice/Information

not sure how to start this but basically im in desperate need of an stp.

i cant use public toilets at all because sitting down puts me at risk for infection, and i cant squat because im too weak.

i cant carry around a cheap stp because i cant carry a bag, i cant use a medicine spoon because im deformed so it leaks and gives me friction sores.

so yeah im stuck i need an stp but have no money.

I’m on testosterone. Can I still get pregnant? Yes. Testosterone is not a form of birth control, and surgical sterilization is the only absolutely sure means by which to avoid pregnancy. If you’re having sex that might result in pregnancy and want to avoid becoming pregnant, contraception is advised.
