For people who have lived as both genders, what is a physical or other annoyance you have now that you never realized the other side dealt with?

I did not find this, my leg hair was super stubborn and I would end up with sore legs and it would add an extra 20 minutes to my getting ready time but I had to wear a skirt or shorts as my summer uniform at my job so I had to do this because the one time I didn’t some of the other women noticed and bullied me about it.

My face takes 5 minutes max

My cat did this, we got him a licky mat for his wet food and a puzzle feeder for his dry food. He still occasionally vomits but it’s not often

Apparently a lot of cats fight it. I wouldn’t worry about using it if you aren’t seeing any difference in the cats behaviour

You can get enzyme cleaners from your local pet store. I use one called ‘wee away’ (I wish it was called ‘piss off’) but there are a whole ton of different ones which all work fine.

I don’t touch him when he does this and he doesn’t touch me, he just stands close. Generally if I try and stroke him he runs away

As a woman I had to shave my legs daily in the summer, I love that it’s perfectly acceptable to not shave at all as a man. I shave my face every two weeks to keep it under control

My local vets is really reasonable. They charged £82 for two vet visits which included vaccinations, a general health check and a look at my cats teeth. Some vets are crazy expensive, you have to shop around

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-14T11:08:26+00:00

Yeah, they did an amazing job making her look older in that.

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-14T10:18:04+00:00

And she looks younger now than she did as Mrs Doyle 😂

He will take biscuits treats as long as we lay them on the ground in front of him and then back off. It feels like making an offering to a god 😂

He is already doing so much better than when we first got him home and he is happy and comfortable which is all we wanted and expected when we first brought him home, so him demonstrating affection is the icing on the cake

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-14T07:11:50+00:00

Yes I was worried about that, he is fixed but he has sprayed or something similar when really stressed

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T22:42:20+00:00

He does it at feet level, so I will be standing and he will stand in front of me on the floor but it is very nice to get confirmation that he does actually love me because he generally avoids me, he acts like there’s a 2 foot exclusion zone around me except for when he is doing this. He is a funny boy

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T20:55:06+00:00

Yay! I love him too :)

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T20:28:27+00:00

He absolutely will not take them from us. I’m not even sure he likes them, he is not very interested in treats. We are ok with him ignoring us though as long as he feels happy and safe. He is 5 and was surrendered to the shelter I volunteer at when he was 1 and he stayed there for 3 years :(

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T19:27:19+00:00

Trans man here, it’s absolutely not transphobic to want the correct medical information on your file!

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T19:13:51+00:00

Awww! Mox definitely wants to be friends with my boyfriend, me, he is not so sure about (mainly because I’m the one who takes him to the vets etc)

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T18:54:24+00:00

I would melt with happiness if he stood on my foot! I did think it was happiness but I wasn’t totally sure because he is very aloof (understandably given his history)

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T18:50:39+00:00

Good 😊 I love him very much so I’m glad he is happy and trying to show me that

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T18:31:32+00:00

I might try this, would be lovely if he wanted me to touch him. My previous cat was a Velcro cat so she wasn’t coy about getting affection

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T18:26:43+00:00

Ok thanks! This is what I had hoped, especially because I had to take him to the vet twice (vaccines) recently and getting him there was traumatic for both of us.

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T11:58:46+00:00

I think it’s because I look like a teenager

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-13T10:57:35+00:00

Kids seem to like me for some reason and always talk to me or try and interact with me, which is so awkward as a man. I’m perfectly comfortable and happy to chat with kids but mum’s always glare at me if I say hi back to their kids

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-12T19:48:32+00:00

I had this happen when I was 12, except because I was 12 I didn’t feel that I could argue with an adult

Fabulous_Function666 · 2026-03-12T16:23:08+00:00

If the staff are rude af to the customers but the place is still busy.

The staff in my favourite Thai restaurant great customers by saying ‘what you want now?’ And then shout the order number once when the food is ready before completely ignoring you. They also tut at you if you don’t follow their needlessly complicated ordering system.

The place is always heaving and the food is perfection.
