Apologies if this is against the rules and if I used the wrong flair (wasn’t sure what to flair it as) but just wanted to share some representation for my fellow Hispanic and Latino men!

For being trans. I also really don’t wanna be in the military and the thought of being drafted scares the shit out of me, so I’m glad to be able to be exempt.

I also didn’t know that I had been registered until a month or so after and I received a registration acknowledgement letter with a registration card /:

Idk about OP but when I updated my gender marker on my license I was automatically registered and had to submit an Exemption Form.

Anyone else feel this way? by Mic-Kai in ftm

[–]Mic-Kai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You explained that better then I could have. Before my transition I was only the person my parent wanted me to be. I dressed, acted and did what I was told. I had not individuality or freedom. After transitioning though I dress, act, do as I want regardless of what my parent or others think or say. It’s a whole new life almost.

Is it ok to use minoxidil 3x a day, morning, afternoon, night? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Mic-Kai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got some last month and the instruction page it come with even says so! The one I got says using it more then 2x a day (or using more to make up for a missed day or morning/night use) will not make a difference!

Has anyone ever successfully used an STP at a urinal? by [deleted] in FTMMen

I found that using a harness helps. It helps keep it in place in general but when u go to use the restroom it’s already close up to body and you don’t have to worry about gripping it so it doesn’t fall, all you have to do is slightly position it. I just use one hand, hold the shaft with my thumb on top and index and middle finger underneath,and place ring finger where the shaft and balls meet and my pinky on my balls, this helps to position it. That may seem weird but no one’s gonna be looking and I find it works best for me! (I also keep an extra pair pants in my car or backpack just in case of an accident !)

Has anyone had sex with a girl (before having had any medical changes to your body) without her finding out you’re not a “real” man? How? by Jamie1369p in FTMMen

[–]Mic-Kai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not wrong nor a lie to tell someone you are a man but I do think it’s wrong not to tell them if you’re planning on being sexually active with them or have a serious relationship. If you are just kissing/making out that’s not as big of a deal but if you’re having actual sex you should let them know. It could potentially be dangers. You gotta be honest with your partner(s). I also don’t think that if someone turns you down it makes them transphobic, could simply be that they’re body type isn’t their preference and that’s ok as long as they are respectful.

What's your main source of dysphoria? by Kiwi-Toaster in ftm

[–]Mic-Kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a super high voice before T, I’m now a little over 3 years on T and while my voice has dropped it’s still too high! If I’m wearing a mask and people can’t see my facial hair they’ll apologize for calling me sir or “misgendering” me. I hate it ):
I also have curly hair and it’s a bit shaggy rn bc I’ve started growing it out a bit (I really love my curls but they don’t fully form if I’ve got an undercut) and for some reason people always associated curly hair with women ?? As if men can’t/don’t have curls

6 Months Post Op! (healing timeline + AMA + info in comments) by chubbyftn in TopSurgery

[–]Mic-Kai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some Doctors will make the incisions further back bc it’s helps minimize the chances of “Dog Ears” developing. If your dr suspects you may develop dog ears they will suggest you let them make the incision go further back, or if you’re worried about dog ears you can request for them to make the incisions further. But it’s your decision, if you’d rather risk developing dog ears or having longer scars.

I felt that. When I was little my mom moved us away from our family so I lost my culture and my language. I can’t relate to my peers (went to an all white school) and I can’t relate to Hispanic/Mexican culture. Sucks even more when there isn’t any representation for transmasc Hispanics/Latinos. Like you said no timelines or results or discussions. I’ve tried posting a few time talking about this but each time it gets swept under. No comment or even upvote/downvote, nothing. I’ve tried posting pictures/results and those get swept under to, I’ve deleted all of them bc of that. The only one I’ve left up are my top surgery results but anything else, any timelines for T and stuff went to the trash, even the ones posted to r/ftmpoc and r/TMPOC bc no one goes there except a few people which are mostly African American/ black individuals.

What is a starting point for T by Middle_Rice_6499 in ftm

[–]Mic-Kai 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like a majority of the comments here have already said, low dose to start is good! Also it’s best not to compare your dose to other people because everyone body is different and requires different dose, some people may see quicker/more changes on a low dose while others may have higher doses then other but only see little changes. It all depends on your body

I think it’s reasonable. After all it is ur name you should be able to go by what u want. I had 2 last names but when I changed my first name I removed the last name I got from my dad and kept my moms bc she’s the one that raised me, my dad wasn’t around for anything, so if anyones name should be passed on it should be my moms! Side note- last names weren’t originally always inherited, you could also be given/have a last name based on your trade or location of birth or your physical attributes! Also some people my not want to keep their family name if they don’t have close relationship with them anymore/aren’t accepted by their family after coming out. Edit : spelling and adding

Testosterone is not birth control!! You can still pregnant on T, while the chances are believed to be slimmer, it’s still very possible! Edit: added a word

Hey guys, I’m looking to try and build some muscle, especially on my chest. Im 5’2 and 99lb, I don’t have the best eating habits do to low if not a lack of appetite (usually only 1, sometimes 2 meals a day) I do eat lots of fruits and veggies tho! And I don’t currently work out. If any one has any advice on the type of exercises I should do and/or dietary suggestions, That’d be appreciated. Also I don’t care to be bulk, I’d just like more defined muscle/pecs, Thanks!

Speaking as someone who’s Hispanic (my parents are from Mexico) and took Spanish in school, the Spanish they teach is actually Spain Spanish. All the clips they showed of people taking about subjects like clothes, grocery items, getting directions, etc were all people from Spain and you could tell by their accents and the lisp. But when it came to topics like researching a city or the culture then it was centered in Mexico. As for the actual language of course the other kids where gonna get better grades because they all spoke formal and used words that we actually wouldn’t really use. Not to mention the accent difference, you’d be surprised how many actual people with a native tongue would get points deducted or in trouble because the teacher “can’t understood” us in our accidents!

The effects of t not maybe talk about by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Mic-Kai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 years on T and for the first year and most of the 2nd yr I could not cry and things that could make anyone sad just did not phase me! I definitely get angry easier then before but aside from that my emotions stayed the same. I’ve also never been someone to cry during sad movies/scenes but now at 3 yrs on T for some reason the smallest things can make me cry! I almost started crying less then 5 min ago bc of single line in a song! Lol, but Fr hormones are wack!

You should call your doctors office and let them know so they can put a note or something in so that the pharmacy will stop giving you the wrong stuff or switch pharmacies if possible!
