Trans Challenges: Growing penis and foreskin at the same time (Part 1 of 4)

What happens when you're trying to grow a foreskin and a penis at the same time? Thursday Tea Time knows. In this first episode of a special four-part Pride Month series, Thursday joins host DickGyver to trace a foreskin restoration journey unlike any other — one that began with painful chafing during early testosterone use, wound through an eight-year hormonal hiatus, and finally found direction after stumbling onto the restoration community in 2022. Thursday breaks down trans-masculine anatomy with clarity and humor, draws unexpected parallels to hypospadias and micropenis, and speaks frankly about the economic and systemic barriers that make restoration harder to access for trans men. Whether you're trans, cis, or somewhere in between, this episode has something to teach you.
