Submission from BuilTABear:
Hey Guys! I am listening to your podcast COL514: Trans Bear Listener.
First — GOOD JOB! Thank you for bringing up the topic of trans guys! Please note — not all trans guys are the same or have the same needs, critiques or sensitivities. MANY (not all) guys who are earlier in the process (first 5 years) can be SUPER SENSITIVE about just about everything and often have NO idea they are being that way. I know it’s not politically correct to say that – but it’s the painful truth. After a handful of years living life passing as a cis man we learn to understand the whole world is not out to make us all miserable or be disrespectful to us. ugh. Some guys can really be hard work. Just like any other community, there are some cool guys and some really ODD guys. Mileage may vary :-0
I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about what your email guest had to say:
FEMALE genitalia = In my general experience I agree, we usually prefer words like birth born parts, genetic bits, front business, ANYTHING but being reminded about the emotionally painful word “female” when you are talking about a trans guy. Testosterone makes some pretty significant changes to it and it’s not “standard issue female parts” after a short while anyhow.
JUNK = agree, just ask the guy what he wants his junk called (don’t offer options – just ask)
Bottom Surgery = not being attracted to someone who has had bottom surgery.
Again, those who HAVE HAD bottom surgery are often super sensitive about rejection (as might be expected!). There are some trans guys who have had bottom surgery realizing folks (including other trans guys) are NOT into them BECAUSE of the lower surgery choice. VERY ouchie. Very VERY ouchie (I’d imagine). That’s a lot of work mentally, surgery and money to go through to realize you just put yourself into a VERY narrow date scene. I know of two trans men who committed suicide because of this topic. Saying I’d never have sex with a trans guy who has had bottom surgery is simply unnecessary and rude. It’s like saying “i’d never have sex with a guy with a small penis” — you might think it in your mind and maybe have a general desire for guys 6” or more, but going around admitting you’re a size queen is not pretty. Hope this helps!
Kindly, BuilTABear

Each of us find and share something on Twitter that we link to.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys chirp about the recent changes to Twitter. With Twitter announcing that they are no longer allowing some social media platforms to be linked on their site, the cubs discuss the potential abandoning ship of members and where they will flock to as they ask the question: Where do we go next?
Show Topic
Where do we go next?
Twitter recently announced another update to its policies [not yet incorporated into their TOS]. Now linking to ‘some’ other social media platforms will get your shutdown/banned. Slowly the platform has been losing users, advertisers, and the community of kink/MSM/LGBTQIA+ has been searching for a new home. Which begs some questions… Where do we go next? What do we want in our platforms? How much would we pay for such a thing? Does anyone care?
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s our What’s Going On for the month of February. For the month of love, listen in as the guys share their love of D&D, a timely proposal and streaming television. Despite the shortness of this month, the cubs definitely kept it busy.
What’s Going On?
Jeff: Great D&D Sessions
Damon: NABW2022 and An Announcement
Gary: Vehicle Stuff, Baking Lesson, Miss Corona Ain’t Gone

YouTube Comment:
COL635: LTAS: Sex Starvation: Oan R. – “I feel like there should be a thing at the beginning differentiating this from starvation sex. Not a very well known kink. But it is a thing.”
COL636: LoR: Love Languages: Oan R. – “My thoughts on different things with this kind of matches Gary’s and Damon’s. I usually like gifts if it’s something I need or ask for. And as for touch and interaction, I generally am more receptive if it’s someone I know and have talked to and traded experiences with.” “The thing I find interesting is just the different places “5 Love Languages” has been applied.” “I actually didn’t know about parallel play, so thanks for that.”

203 area code – SW Connecticut: “No, did you know if you whisper to Alexa, she whispers back? I learned this in the creepiest way possible. I was just saying something and whispering and then Alexa just whispered out of nowhere. And I was like ‘who the fuck is that?’ big man.”
