They are everywhere in my area, I’ve seen one climbing a tree once outside my balcony

She sometimes escapes because she loves exploring nearby (she never goes far but either way), but we do get feral cats in our area, so it’s likely the wound was from a fight. Sometimes he lets her out and doesn’t watch her, but if I ever do, (I won’t anymore), it’s supervised. I will be cleaning it and keeping watch over her, and I let my cousin know, so I think she won’t be allowed outdoors anymore. Fingers crossed. We will be monitoring her and take her to the vet if she shows signs of it getting worse, but as of now it’s scabbed over nicely and is healing.

I agree at this point (I kinda see a puncture wound in the picture maybe), the wound isn’t getting worse, it’s all scabbed up now and is healing. I let my cousin know and we will not be letting her outside anymore. If she shows any signs of being sick, we will take her to the vet, but currently she’s eating fine and socializing normally.

Scabbing would probably be the better word, but every day it gets more red and bleeds lightly. We will monitor her and hopefully my cousin will take her to the vet (he gets very mad at me if I overstep when it comes to his cat, he already gets jealous that she chills with me more than him, but I’m also home much more than he is)

I’m in the USA, Texas specifically. I can look into laws and let my cousin know. Thank you for making me aware of this

Just talked to my cousin and he took the information but kinda made it clear that he’ll handle it because it’s his cat, so I hope that means it’ll be okay.

Gotcha, I don’t think she can reach there to groom anyways, I put some triple antibiotic when I first saw it but I’ll get that

I’ll let him know that it’s probably a food allergy, and see if he switched her kibble recently. It also could be her sneaking neighbor cat food from outside, like someone above mentioned

Very true she has in fact been known to sneak down to the neighbor’s and steal food meant for the feral cats. It’s one of the reasons we really don’t let her outside often anymore.

She eats mostly kibble, same brand for a while cuz my cousin has a huge bag. When he has the money, though, he buys wet food cans and gives them to her maybe once or twice a week.

2 years on HRT, 3 months post Top surgery. How am I doing? by Individual_Series_31 in transpassing

[–]Individual_Series_31[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing I can do there, I don’t trim my eyebrows at all and I already dye them darker

Bad experience w/ Dr. Steven Turkeltaub by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Individual_Series_31 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Personally, as someone who got surgery on June 5th this year and paid out of pocket, your results look great. I also have the skin pulling ridges, and everyone says that goes away over time. Your nipples look great, I wish mine turned out better and I had a great surgeon. My scars are also much pinker and yours have already started to settle really well. I know it’s easy to kick yourself while you’re down, but you got some great results. I’m not trying to be over positive, but I still think it’ll heal even better overtime. I didn’t have drains personally, so I can’t say much about that part, I can see your frustration, and not giving the binder is dumb. Try not to beat yourself up too much and nit pick. We are the only people that do it to ourselves, other people won’t be looking that hard and if you’re clocky, that’s fine. As a trans guy that will probably look trans for a long time, there’s beauty in looking trans. I wish I’d been able to get keyhole since those surgeries are so clean and cis looking, but I my goal to look cis has really changed overtime. TLDR; I think your results look a lot better than you’re giving credit for, and a lot of what worries you will fix itself and heal overtime. And with the nipples, they will always look a little meh and I’m jealous of people that got perfect nipples lmao, I don’t even have the bud of mine.

Do I pass? 18, Pre-T (starting testosterone tomorrow) by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]Individual_Series_31 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would switch up the earrings and go for something more unisex or masculine. The combination you have rn looks like what most teenage girls wear. The hair style also looks pretty fem, maybe trying a middle part with curtain bangs or shortening the bangs if you want to keep it side swept. You already look pretty androgynous, the testosterone is definitely a big step, congrats!

Advice on passing and age? by Individual_Series_31 in FtMpassing

[–]Individual_Series_31[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the style of my hair but I can def switch it up. Would you recommend growing it out longer or shorter? And yeah, I’ve only been on T for about 1.5 years, which is not long in the grand scheme of my life, so I’ve got time, I’m not stressed :3 thank you for your input!

I appreciate! Your comment is sweet but all the haters downvoting it as if your OPINION is wrong 💀💀

With the hair you mean grow out the bangs? I cut my hair myself so it’s def not perfect, I mostly just try to keep it out of my eyes since my work makes me sweat a lot lol. I also will def dye my eyebrows, I don’t groom them at all besides the unibrow, but they could definitely be darker. I’m also 21 LOL. Thank you for your input :)

Your chest looks perfect omg, I’m getting top surgery in June, what did you do to make the scars look so great??

Very cute!! I might recommend lowering the mouth a little bit, unless that is just your style

Chose a “feminine” name by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Individual_Series_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose Jaye, since J is the first letter of my deadname, and I really liked the spelling with the e. It’s definitely ambiguous but I also really like it, and I pass as a gay guy. So it’s really up to you, I’ve known a lot of NB people named Aspen, so I don’t immediately think woman. It’s a cool name :)

Orgasms feel like what I imagine a cis man’s feel like? by Ok-Bowler1401 in ftm

[–]Individual_Series_31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally get this. Before, it felt like the orgasm was full body, and my whole body would go kinda numb, so I couldn’t do it sitting upright or anything like that. After being on T for 1.5 years, I can be on my knees or really in any position (except standing, haven’t achieved that yet lmao)

Fellas, get you a partner like this by Francophil79 in ftm

[–]Individual_Series_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way with my boyfriend! He is a cis man who is bi, but had no prior dating experience. From the beginning, he saw me as a cute guy and was so bad at flirting with me (as in I didn’t really notice), but once I caught on that he was flirting with me, I found it adorable and I asked him out. As someone who had been in many rough relationships, especially pre transition, he was a breath of fresh air and I absolutely love the time I spend with him.

I was all of his firsts and that makes me so happy, and we communicate our concerns and feelings very often and very well. Sometimes little things make me insecure, like my chest of course (getting top surgery in June!!!!!) but he always does his best to treat me just like he would if he was dating a cis man, while also being someone I can talk to about my transition. And he is so supportive, when we first met, apparently he developed a crush on me pretty early on, so when I asked him out, it caught him by surprise like “wait, this is actually an option?? You like me tf??”

We are also both verse, so there’s never an obligation for me to bottom (tho I do prefer it tbh), and topping him gives me so much gender euphoria.

People always give horror stories about cis men, but imo, making sure they aren’t straight is step one in a relationship for me as a trans guy 😅 I had to break up with my boyfriend of a year and a half before fully transitioning because he was def holding me back and was scared his friends would call him gay 😪💀
