How can I write a trans male soldier in a POW situation in a rather chaotic world? Especially if it lasts for over a year. He's not likely to have access to hormones and if he doesn't have any bottom surgery he might get periods and well going to the bathroom might have issues especially if like all the prisoners don't get enough privacy. He would have had top surgery though.
CW: Menstruation, imprisonment
For ease of answering, I’m going to make some assumptions about your character and setting. Specifically I’m assuming your character is stealth, because I think some of these issues may be easily solveable with co-operation from others. (For example, it’s not unheard of for prisoners to band together in a row to give each other privacy or have etiquette about looking away intentionally. I mean, most people aren’t especially interested in looking too closely at another person peeing without their consent. This would probably be a thing even if your character is not Out.)
Re: Hormone Access.
Hormones in this situation would be hard to come across, but if he was on hormones previously, it's likely there wouldn't be any major difference that others would be able to perceive. For me, going on and off it has the biggest effect on weight distribution (like hips to stomach and back again, face shape, etc), libido, energy (higher on testosterone) and menstruation.
With that in mind, well, you're writing fiction. You could probably come up with something creative to get him hormones. Or he could start with hormones but ration them out, or smuggle them somehow.
Re: Menstruation.
Everyone is different, but having been on testosterone made my experiences with this permanently different, and specifically much lighter than it was prior to testosterone, and the heaviness of it at different points of time during was distributed differently. (Think like, very heavy all of a sudden at first waning off, and then light to heavy to light again.) I've heard the opposite for some people though. I knew of someone who went off testosterone and menstruated for a month, and then things slowly got back to what they were for them prior. Timing between is also affected - someone who used to menstruate once a month might menstruate once every three months after testosterone. It's a bit of a crapshoot, so there's some leeway here if you want him to have been on testosterone previously and depict him as having gone off or going off hormones.
As for handling it, I think just using rags makes sense. Socks can work in a pinch, and underwear can be flipped inside out. If your character has access to nature, sphagnum moss has historically been used to dress wounds as it's a naturally extremely absorbent material. I found a product from 1919-1920 that uses sphagnum moss in a menstrual pad. The box claims it absorbs 20.4 times that of its own weight while cotton only 6 to 8 times its own weight. I know it was really lauded as an incredible thing in WWI where they found that it helped soldiers survive serious wounds much longer than ordinary bandages. (I can't remember where I read that, but I may source it here if I ever find it again.)
Re: Bathroom.
He might have/make an STP (Stand To Pee) device to make things easier. People have made a lot of different versions of this throughout history with different found materials. Alternatively, there's always the classic squatting thing and just using moss to wipe. He'd want to make sure to know how to identify plants though because they aren't all that great for this. Some people who hike the Appalachian trail will also use a rag to wipe after a pee and just set it out in the sun. I don't think that's safe or sanitary, but there are people who exist who have done this. I imagine options are limited for a POW.
He might also be able to get away with claiming he has a war wound in his genitalia. If someone accidentally noticed anything about your character bleeding or some such, they might assume that as well, as it may seem like the more likely explanation. One person with a theory who shares it with someone else may start a rumour that is believed to be true.
There’s a lot of creative liberty when it comes to how you write other POWs to react, as well as the people guarding/supervising.

Trans Omo- STP Edition - Part 1
Okay, so I said that I could write a whole arse list about trans omo focused on STPs and I realised that it might be a bit too long so I'll split it up into multiple posts. This first post isn't really a list but more an introduction to STPs. (Also my asks are open if you want me to elaborate on anything, there's a lot to tell so I might forget something.)
First of all, what is an STP? The proper term is a Stand To Pee device. People also refer to it as an STP device, but most commonly it's just called an STP. STPs can be used by AFAB people to enable them to stand to pee. The way this works is that STPs are basically a funnel that you press to your anatomy peeing into the cup and then it's guided in front of you allowing you to clear your pants.
Situations where this can be useful, include festivals, hiking and other places where bathroom access is a bit difficult when you don't have the right anatomy. Aka having to hold it while a penis haver can just unzip.
This goes double for trans people, men's restrooms often have fewer stalls than female restrooms and then have urinals to make up for it. And after having been 3 years on T and full-time passing there's still nothing worse than having to wait in a relatively small restroom where the sinks are not quite within arm's reach of the urinals while other guys are using the urinals. Especially when you're about 99% sure the guy in the stall is taking a shit so you can sometimes wait a long time.
There are many kinds of STPs, in all price ranges. I think most non-trans people would, if they know STPs exist in the first place, think of those plastic funnel-type things, like the Shewee.
But there are many STPs that are penis shaped and can definitely be called prosthetics. STPs can be expensive as fuck, I've seen them around 500, 600. Maybe even higher I can't remember. Those are really realistic and people wouldn't think twice when getting a glance.
My first STP was a cheap plastic one shaped as a penis and it set me back about 20 euros.
My most expensive one was about 200.
But the point of all this is that STPs come in all different kinds and shapes. Also different designs. Each company designs the funnel in their own way. What works for one person might not work for someone else.
Each STP requires practice, that's always true. But a situation where even after having it for ages you're still not quite able to manage to make it work without at least some leakage. And that can be disheartening as fuck. Especially when it was an expensive one you thought about buying for a long time.
This actually sorta happened with my most expensive one. I can sorta use it, but there's almost always some form of leakage and I've had really dysphoria triggering incidents with it as well but more on that later. I got a new one now and that one works a lot better.
I think that's it for now. Next up I'll be talking about the first time learning to STP and building up the skill.

okay so i’ve tried out my STP twice now, both in the bathtub and i definitely see why people recommend that. the first time was okay but i positioned it too high and had to move it which made a little mess. the second time i positioned it better but didn’t hold the cup close enough so eventually it started leaking out the back. it’s very euphoric though and i’m going to keep practicing

every time i see that post chiding trans men for using women's restrooms i want to chew on somebody's head. you think i LIKE using the women's restroom? you think i LIKE having to make a grim hobson's choice of "which bathroom is least likely to get me yelled at" every time i need to pee? i'm fucking flabbergasted that this is seen as "men invading female spaces" or "AFABs flexing their privilege" as opposed to, oh idk, a vulnerable group of people doing their level best to avoid being harassed and assaulted. like we are not the ones in the wrong here

Trans Omo- STP Edition - Part 2
Find part 1 here
This part is all about getting your first STP, trying to learn how to use it.
Frankly, this is probably the thing most people talk about, which admittedly is still very little I think. Most people will just say that it requires practice and that it creates a mess.
They are not wrong, but obviously, that barely touches it.
Anyway here's a little list of things/prompts related to first STP usage:
First of all, the actual getting it, it arriving after waiting for it. There's a certain excitement to trying it for the first time. The thing is in order to be able to use an STP you kinda do need a filled bladder. So provided you know the order is coming that day you might hold it in so you can try it immediately.
Then it might be good to point out that you're supposed to wash STPs before first use, when already with a bursting bladder that might be fun
Furthermore trying to figure out positioning when first using an STP is a nightmare and daunting, not a fun thing to be doing while desperate and definitely not something I'd advise.
An STP is a tricky thing, positioning is definitely difficult first. Especially if you never spend time figuring out where your urethra is first, messes will be made. There's a reason it's advised to first practice naked in the shower.
Something I never hear anyone talk about is the fact that it feels unatural to pee in a cup like that while standing in the shower. I don't have a shy bladder normally, but with an STP it's a different story. Definitely took a lot of mental power the first couple of times and still sometimes.
More on that I definitely realised it's easier to try using the STP while needing to go more than just slightly. Just not quite desperate but not empty. But there's a balancing act to.
One very important thing with STPs is that you have to be careful not to overflow it, if you pee more than into the cup than can go out you'll end up with wet pants. Most STP requires you to control your flow so you can't go full force. It can be hard to find the balance in that.
And don't get me started on using an STP while desperate, I think I already wrote a post about that but being desperate while having to control your flow is one of the most deliciously torturous experiences ever.
Another thing never mentioned is the moving from nakedness to using an STP while wearing clothes. It's more awkward, less manoeuvre room so it might be harder to position it correctly. I've definitely made some mess of my clothes while trying to move up. Also, some trousers are more suitable than others. Also trying to keep the waistband out of the way might mean more things that the same time.
Also might be interesting to mention that having roommates while trying to figure out how to STP might add some complications, especially when you have a shared shower. Or yk having to do laundry because your moving to STP with clothes didn't go perfectly. (Admittedly this is a problem with wetting in general)
I think this is all for learning to use an STP. Next part I'll be talking about moving from using the STP at home to in public.

At work and someone asked the question "if you woke up as the opposite gender what would you do for a day" and im sitting here listening to almost all the answers from the guys about what they would do as a girl and thinking "guys what i already DO all that, you can do that as a guy too!!"
Heteronormativity and gender roles are a prison

New fun evolution in the movie runtime discourse is people going "no one complained when Return Of The King came out!" and people who are old enough to be alive and conscious at the time responding "yes they did. It was a huge thing actually. They did very much complain"
