About Trey McGowan
Expertise
I am able to answer questions about transexual and transgender issues of many kinds, but in particular those tilted toward the FTM (Female-To-Male) transgender. I can offer tips for dressing, passing, binding, packing, behavior, and the like for both drag and full lifestyle. I may also be able to offer some help with finding local peer groups, should you be interested in peer counseling. Sexuality issues, MTF (male-to-female), and other gender issues can also be touched on and I may be able to help. I am not a professional (I repeat: I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL!) but I can also offer some general peer counseling suggestions and help with finding groups for all branches of gender identification and sexuality. If you are in need of finding a professional, I may be able to find a name in your area to help.

Experience
I am personally FTM transgender, living full-time and accepting of my gender identity. I have not yet been through operations (so am unable to offer personal experience on most of these). I have been part of a number of groups, though moving has kept discussions to long distance since then. I am well-studied for a great many years in this area, having begun reading up on it when I first identified and having kept up on it since then. I have no medical credentials in the area of gender counseling but have been part of multiple peer counseling groups.

Organizations
Knox Boyz (FTM peer support group) Nashville T'men (FTM peer support group)

Education/Credentials
I have completed grade school, some high school, and my GED.

Transgender/Transsexual - oral sex


Expert: Trey McGowan - 8/9/2008

Question
i love giving my transsexual friend oral sex. what are the risks of giving a transsexual oral sex without a condom?

Answer
Hi there, Joey!

Essentially, the risks are exactly the same as they would be for a non-transsexual individual. Most sexually transmitted diseases can be transfered whether the individual is fertile or not, or whether the 'parts' are natural or not.

The one exception I can think of is the transfer of 'body fluid' STDs from an FTM individual who has had phalloplasty. An FTM will have less chance of transfering than a biological male because of a lack of the ejaculatory fluids (semen and natural lubricant). Still, it is much safer to treat them as if they are a natural man and wear (or use) a condom to ensure a lack of spreading diseases in either direction.

I hope this was able to answer your question! Questions, comments, et cetera, can be delivered back to me (or to one of the other experts).

Trey
