Hormone therapy and surgery have left the 5’5, 28-year-old Stephen Gray with facial scruff, a deep voice and a hairy body. But he stopped short of phallioplasty, and his female plumbing often sends men running. The self-described “cock worshipping good Catholic boy sucker, swallower” always discloses his dicklessness, but it doesn’t save him from rejections like this one:
One night at Deco, men were strip-dancing, and some guy approached Gray and told him he should get up there and take it off. No way, Gray said. … “I don’t think I’m what you’re looking for,” he told the guy.“It’s not like you’re trans,” the guy retorted. “You have an Adam’s apple.”
“Actually, I am,” Gray fired back. “And that’s my trachea.”
The guy looked confused, so Gray took his hand and put it on his crotch. “I don’t have a dick,” he said. The guy stepped back, then bolted. From across the bar, a friend who saw what happened mouthed “I love you” to Gray. “I felt very protected,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.”
Sounds rough, but if it’s any consolation, Stephen, at least you have a fuckhole that you don’t poop out of.
