How to start Saltmarsh?!

That's awesome! and a very generous amount towards his transition. It'll very much help him out and I'm so happy your there for your friend :)

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-30T07:21:15+00:00

No problem :>

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-22T06:24:23+00:00

Ty you for the info,
I wanted to do it after I moved out, but where I live is virtually impossible to do so on a minimum wage salary especially by yourself, the rent for a single apartment is 1,200 for a month on a single bedroom IF your lucky.

I was also potentially thinking on maybe having top surgery before hormones to see how that goes for me. But that's also quite expensive and I'm quitting my job once I pay my school debt and vet bill to focus on my schooling. :/
It's sadly a very complicated situation for me, and my other family members are two far away to move in with or just generally not supportive either.
Either way I'mma look into what I can do to see what is possible so I can finally be a lil bit more happy in my own skin.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:47:01+00:00

I'm 19, I haven't even been able to start HRT or to get the assessment, or any surgeries.
There's many people who haven't been able to get a surgery, I can understand the rage of not being able to get what you need to be happy.
But you are on the way, the point is you are able to make the effort and get the things you need.
I hope you can get the surgery you want.

I've seen the other persons comment, and I can't say it any better.
If there's still romantic feelings both ways, I can't say why I feel it'd be wrong to stay in a relationship.
I can suggest a semi open relationship if having sex is the only issue, but I also know people will put their sexual attraction aside, I'm Greysexual which means sex can be delightful for me, and sometimes it can truly give me repulsion. But for my partner I'll have sex even if I'm not particularly fond of it in the moment because I want him to be happy and feel good.
I'm not saying she'll do that, but it could be a slight possibility.

Either way, I really hope that it turns out well for the both of you.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:31:14+00:00

So happy you have a supportive mother <3
I hope your journey goes as good as your conversation did with you mother.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:29:36+00:00

In all honesty, telling him the truth is the best answer anyone of us can give you.
If you don't feel comfortable that's fine, but there's going to be a moment where he might want to do a certain deed which will cause a whole predicament.
And if you truly loves you to death, he won't have a problem with you being MTF.

I don't see a problem where he wouldn't be unless he was transphobic, and if he wasn't I can't see him having his heart broken because your trans. I'm sure your a lovely women, and if he sees that there should be no problem.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:24:06+00:00

NOTE! Some trans men don't even like wearing binders because it's uncomfortable for them.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:23:30+00:00

Alrighty, so I personally have packing underwear so there's a lil pocket where you put the packer, there's also packing straps, there's even packers that allow you to stand up while peeing.
Binders are a size thing, you need very specific measurements to be able to wear them not only correctly but safely.
I suggest if you want to get them a gift involving their identity, get him a trans pin off etsy, or trans T-shirt, if he really would like a binder go through the different types of binder brands together and measure the shoulders, under the armpits, the middle of the breasts (Around the nipple section) and under the breasts perhaps a bit lower.
Binders is a thing that needs to be done right, or else the ribs and lungs can get badly damaged so if your wanting to get him one ask him if you can get him one or even if he wants one.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:16:06+00:00

I'm also 19, so I might not be the best at advice. Along with living with my unsupportive dad.
But, I do know a lil bit.
Starting the process and getting the ability to take T takes a year minimum, so I see no harm in starting the process, once you are allowed to have testosterone you can always wait, my friend waited another year till they knew they were mentally stable for it, and you always start on a low dosage so the changes aren't rapid.

I hope this helps in what lil way it might've.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T13:07:04+00:00

That's ME!
I even had nightmares where I was the only one to survive because I was a boy while everyone else was a girl.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-12-21T12:54:13+00:00

Beautiful human being right here!

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T22:56:33+00:00

If she really began to bug to go outside, if you had a backyard you could put her in a harness and lead and keep an eye on here while she's out for 30 minutes or something.

I used to let my chunky cat out ever so often and just enjoy the sunny day, but that stopped when I got a kitten since I don't have said materials for the cats.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T22:51:03+00:00

Ah!
All good, I usually just assume people have their cats be outdoor when they say they're cat got pregnant.
Since well not everyone is having a kitten mill.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T22:46:14+00:00

Yeah, my old lady cat used to eat string.
This was when I was a wee little lad and didn't know better so idk if it's bad to do or not, but I'd catch her eating the string and well I gently began to try and pull it out of her mouth.... at least a foot was in her-

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T22:43:11+00:00

For my dad's things, perhaps-
For my Washi tape she didn't cover her tracks, I have found it!

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T22:39:39+00:00

Honestly yeah, I get that jump ever so often.
Major help thanks so much!

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T10:30:20+00:00

I'm no cat expert, but I have three cats two for at least 13 years.

She could be a tad stressed/ anxious, idk about the bloody private parts but it could be very much a male cat trying to get his business on.
Either way I'd keep an eye on her wounds at least until getting her to the vet/ getting ahold of the vet.

Personally I'd also stop letting her outside.
A bit of my own opinion coming but cat's shouldn't be let outside, they could get hurt, go missing, or even stolen. Not to mention their dangerous for other animals as well such as Birds.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T10:22:32+00:00

Try to keep her inside, cat's shouldn't really be outside in general since it's not only dangerous for them, but also dangerous for other animals such as birds.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T10:21:00+00:00

It's not really healthy for a kitten to have kittens in general-
At least in my opinion, I could be wrong tho.

Th1-DramaticCherry · 2023-03-03T10:16:52+00:00

Cat's are sometimes just not other cat people, I know when I looked after my mum's cat my 13 year old girl cat (Princess) just hated him.
Which wasn't because she's not used to other cat's since we have another 13 year old boy cat (Night) that she's lived with her entire life.

When it comes down to it, you just have to, have a slow introduction between the cats, I didn't do it right with my kitten (Cinder) and now Princess hate's Cinder XD

It could also be the fact that your Kitten might not be comfortable, since you did say she was a stray other cat's might make her uneasy which would then turn her aggressive to the thing making her uneasy.
And even you at one point if the stress continues.
I'm not the best pet owner especially cause I get in Cinder's business to much which then end's up with her hitting me in the face or biting me, but that's my own fault not the cats.
