  • This is what everyone I know that had one told me. The operation was not that bad, maybe a 5/10 on pain. The days after my ballsack was getting really purple blue and parts of my penis also, this was more like a 8/10. Where a 10/10 is breaking your leg because a car drove over it After about a week I went to a doctor to make sure this was “normal”, he said everything looked ok, but I’m just unlucky as for most guys it is almost painless. About 10 days after things got better in a couple of days.

    I don’t want to scare anyone but going in thinking it will not hurt is not true for everyone. For me thinking it shouldn’t hurt (while it did) made me worry much more, thinking they might have messed something up.


  • Meh, it’s definitely not 100% chance of success. Every year that passes reduces the chance of a succes to reverse it. Also there is always a risk for other complications like ending up with erectile dysfunction, the chance is really small, but I wouldn’t take it too lightly. Mine also hurt like hell for a week and everything was purple blue. I’m probably the exception, but I definitely don’t want to do it a second time.









  • Mint is great I use it on my desktop and laptop and have been for years (I switched when Ubuntu has that unity desktop period). For Linux it’s the most “it just works” distro for me. My second choice would be manjaro, but mint also has the advantage that there is so much help for Ubuntu you can find online, that usually also works for mint.


  • I have a different theory.

    When you buy a desktop or laptop 99.9% of them will come with Windows preinstalled. Unless you get an Apple product, but than its 100% macOS.

    So everyone running Linux has chosen to not go for the easy option, but spend some time and effort to install something they prefer.

    So that immediately is a filter, where people that just go for the default easy option are filtered out.

    So it makes total sense the Linux community has more people that are not afraid to choose a path they perfer instead of just doing what everyone else does, because doing something else is harder and for many people scary.

    My experience (and this is purely anecdotal) is that the hacker/cybersecuruty community is also like this and has a lot of trans people compared to the total population.

    I said it before and I’ll say it again, Linux mint is the work horse of all the distros! Its easy, it usually just works, it’s the distro you pick when you want to get work done.

    I have been using Linux for 2 decade’s now and have tried all the major distros. Somehow I keep getting back to mint because I don’t spend too much time to get it just right, and I actually spend time on my work.
