    Trans girls sometimes minimize the bulge that having a penis causes to be visible through clothing by tucking and securing their penis so that it’s less visible. Some trans girls don’t do this because they find it inconvenient, unpleasant, or just don’t feel the need to do so. Packing is typically done by trans men, it’s when you have a packer to give the appearance of having a penis; it’s usually a soft silicone penis and balls of varying levels of realistic appearance. The joke is that the tuck/don’t tuck trans girls are terrified of the trans girl who wants to make it look like her penis is even bigger.

    I’m not sure I would classify anything I wrote as wisdom, but the OP did make me giggle

      Thanks, I assumed packing meant putting it in your butt.

      So if a trans girl tucks and happens to get an erection, what then? Deal with the discomfort?

        yeah, although:

        • it’s not as uncomfortable as you might imagine if you tuck right
        • random erections really just aren’t a thing on estrogen

          Random erections are not necessarily a thing even without estrogen. When you start having one and immediately feel absolutely disgusted and self-hating by it, the erection is gone before it manages to even really begin.

          And ones you have in the morning happen before you tuck, anyway.

              This might be a matter of age as well. I’m about halfway from cradle to my grave. Makes genitals much more obedient.

        You push your balls up and inside, and the penis down and center. You literally undrop your balls and secure them with tape or tight underwear or something.

        Trans women only get erections when they want them. Estrogen is nice like that.

      This opens up a whole new kink to me. Something where I might feel comfortable.

      Thanks for the eli5!

      not every trans woman has a penis in the first place. in that way tucking for some trans women can be more like what tucking is like for trans men (making it seem like they have a penis at all)
