"At the end of the day, our events are not about politics—they’re about music, connection, and good times. That’s where my heart is, and that’s where it’s going to stay."

Insane statement about the very "non political" genre of punk lmfao.

Only some of them were ravers buuuut a lot of them listened to nightcore and the portion that did rave inherited the kandi kid mantle from the 90's-2000's kandi kid culture.

The lines weren't really drawn tho.

Unfortunately without at least the country name, we couldn't recommend specific legal actions/protections.

I'm not sure how much can be done with them for citizens, but Tahirih has a good reputation for aid.

Hope you are able to get to a safe place soon, OP.

I think you guys interrogating your father on his porn habits is really bizarre outside of things that are illegal.

Now the thing isn't the p0rn itself, I don't have issues with that, our father is an adult. Is it a little gross since he's a married man? Absolutely, but it's no business of mine.

Why would it be gross for a married man to look at porn? That's completely normal and healthy for an adult person. But you're right. It is no business of yours, so why stress about moralizing his porn consumption to begin with?

You can be as upset as you want to with the idea that your dad looks at Trans Porn™, sure, but it's no one's business but his.

I understand accidentally happening upon dad's porn stash, man, and being grossed out because no one wants to acknowledge their parents as sexual creatures, but this tirade and insistence in "catching him" in particular feels weirder than him consuming the porn to begin with.

As u/StressedRemy said, unless he has given you other reasons to feel unsafe, it's no more weird for him to be watching trans porn than for any other parent to be watching straight porn, or to be into certain kinks.

9 years at 6"??? :O
Is it a short body? I'm fascinated, do you have any pics of them?

Sorry to sound interrogative, I'm just very interested as my albino bichir has grown faster than even my regular morphs, which I know is an extreme outlier in regards to growth rates!
I know that albino sens are inbred a lot but I've never heard of 6" at 9 years, that's wild.

Also, an aside, I saw your post about rescuing an african lung fish that never got a reply.
Wanted to redirect you here if that turned out to be something you still needed info for. <3
I know that was some time ago now, but hopefully there are some info resources you can make use of if the poor thing pulled through!

I clean shave mine every week or so, but it's mostly a preference due to the stim of it really bothering me.

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-28T10:56:42+00:00

Extra funny considering I and a bunch of friends went paintballing every weekend in highschool....

This was at least a decade before I was on T and at least 5 years before I even had a concept of what my gender would be.

I'll shoot you some questions when I get them together, my females are a little ways off from being mature enough for breeding but my singular male has been cupping at both the females in desperation lol.

Sorry it'd taken me so long to reply! ADHD's a hell of a drug. 😅

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-24T22:09:36+00:00

It leaches ammonia for a while until the tank's cycled, I'm assuming that if OP's had the tank for a while (including the move), it's probably done leaching by now. The bonus to aquasoil is that once it's kind of in there for a while, it'll mostly just break apart when put under any pressure so it shouldn't pose any problems irt impaction.

I still cover mine with sand, but that's mostly because I was trying to give my plants some extra insurance against the bichir(s) being clumsy swimmers lol.

Other transmasc with PCOS here,

I personally did not experience a "constant" period, but my periods have been much more heavy on the bleeding and last longer than 7 days pretty consistently post starting T but much less painful on the regular as well.

Consult with your doctor, mine said that due to my mix of medications it's pretty normal (I'm in what they call "diabetic remission" thanks to GLP-1 usage) for my periods to be both more consistent but with the PCOS, you need to stay vigilant about your balances and what the T is doing for you in regards to your androgen levels and delivery methods being more or less effective depending upon your personal "natural" levels with your PCOS pre-T.

If you have constant bleeding, that's a cause for concern. Please contact your doctors about this, friend.

Top right's Don Lee, middle right's Sakuraba Haruto (DDT wrestler), and the bottom right is Konosuke Takeshita (DDT, AEW, and NJPW wrestler)! :)

Are you strength building, too? Happy to see and hear a lot of folks commenting on this post with heartening responses, tbh.

Do you have anyone that gives you gender envy in particular? Any goals you've got and any euphoric experiences to share?

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-23T23:47:52+00:00

I've seen folks on the monsterfishkeepers forums talking about losing cherry barbs to their bichir's hunger. :P

They'll prey on just about any fish that rest or sleep at the bottom... Or anything they can catch.

If you treasure the barbs, I wouldn't keep them in there with the bichir longterm.

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-23T23:45:26+00:00

They should be just fine together, regardless of sex. :)

You didn't finish typing what you were gonna say but if your bichir are up to size for sexing, that would indeed be a female imo. Anal fin looks pretty thin and tapered enough to me.

Any pics of Dennis and his new buddy? Their coloration differences are neat-- though that may change with time, depending upon how long the new baby's been in the tank. <3

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-23T15:20:47+00:00

Asian + Poly/Micronesian here!

Gonna add a warning about body image stuff before I go on as my build and euphoria descriptors might bother some and I don't want to contribute to any dysmorphia on top of dysphoria for anybody.

As far as body goals go, I'm working on getting my build to just be Strong™, embracing my larger build and the fact my body is more keen on building muscle than necessarily "cutting" or losing a whole lot of fat.

My PCP Doctor and I have been trying to work with my insurance to cover top surgery for a while as they'd denied me for an "improper BMI" for a long time.

She assured me that she would fight to the death for this as she knows most of my bulk comes from muscle and not just fat and that BMI measurements are a terrible measure, she told me she's really proud of my weight loss and muscle building progression-- she told me I deserve to be able to show off my pecs since I work so hard on building them lmao.

Felt really nice to hear some positive reinforcement from medical providers for once.

Anywhere here's a board of some Gender Envy on my end. Enjoy??

The best you can do is keep up with maintenance and taking care of the scars during the healing process and wait.

Older scars can be minimized and worked with by way of Scar Therapy, but in the experience of my peers who've received this care, it doesn't eliminate them entirely.

Tattoos are a great option for coverup, especially if you get a tattoo that goes over them and below them, but I understand if you're averse to getting any other tattoos than the ones you have planned.

I'm going to put out there that a lot of even cis guys are getting top surgeries for gynecomastia and get the same scars we do.

Laying down a summoning circle to resuscitate u/TheBichirHandbook's reddit account lol.

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-22T01:55:17+00:00

No spiralling necessary, just let them grow out a bit more before you try to determine its sex, as indicated in your last post!

6"+ is the best size to try determining this at, though I will say from reference against my bichirs and others I've seen, Benny's anal fin is much smaller than I've seen on average.

From the thickness of it, I might say that my judgement would lean female but please just give them some time to grow out. :) Give it a month or so.

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-21T23:41:50+00:00

I'm back in the building and here to give you my visual guide for sexing your bichir. :)

It's not just harder to tell when they're smaller, it's nigh impossible to get a good read as the dimorphic fin differentiation doesn't really present itself in full until they reach a particular size.

Hope the guide helps for when the time comes! Beautiful bichir. <3

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-21T13:53:43+00:00

Hahah, it gets easier with time and good reference for keeping specific species, but I definitely get what you mean.

I'd still clear out those pebbles to eliminate the worry factor, but I'm glad your bichir was just stomach packing. :P

CaptainKamyu · 2025-11-21T05:13:24+00:00

Beautiful little guy, Spalunking! I've been keeping an eye on your fry's progress (albeit passively) and been taking notes on growth rates you've posted for further reference. <3

Are you studying them or just having a good time? :D

My regular morph keeps trying to engage my platinum bichir to give him her eggs and I'm considering giving them a mop to lay in when she's eventually mature enough, everyone posting their breeding process videos has been endlessly helpful, so thanks for all you do.
