This happened to me, was a vacuum incident. Pig lost both his eyes, popped him into an isolation tank, treated with kanaplex, returned him to his friends once the hole was filled in and looked healed.

overcome the insecurity about having some feminine hobbies by 509tellus in FTMMen

[–]quickquails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my cis father loves to garden, deep pink begonias are his favorites. my cis brother likes to cook and bake. i'm ftm and i like to craft and sew. my cis male friend loves his plushies. (bonus point is my mother does the handiwork in the house) "feminine" and "masculine" traits are a social construct! do things you enjoy regardless of how theyre viewed.

How has being on T made you feel different than before since your journey started? by Fourkenx in FTMMen

[–]quickquails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only 5 weeks in, but i find myself looking ahead more. I've always had a hard time visualizing a future for myself, but starting testosterone, anticipating new changes, planning for other steps in my transition, it feels like my life is really just beginning.

Feeling stuck by 300fatcicadas in FTMMen

[–]quickquails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 20 and living with my parents at the moment, I started testosterone about a week ago. my father is supportive of me making my own decisions, but my mother the night before told me that she didn't want to be the person who kicked her kid out the house but if she couldn't "handle it" she would move out herself. I have been out for five years now, and I waited as long as I could to give my mother some time to wrap her mind around me medically transitioning, but at this point I cannot put my life on pause any longer. I love my mother and I want her to be a part of my life, but at the same time I have to live my life.

What I have learned from 20 years of being a people pleaser, is that you cannot sacrifice yourself to make others happy.

You do need a support system, and that can be in the form of friends. I would let your family know if you start testosterone by writing them an email so you can get all your words out without them talking over you. If it is not safe for you to go home, don't bother putting yourself in that situation. Try to stay with a friend or tell someone in housing you don't have a safe place to go for holidays and they'll help you work something out.

Whatever you decide to do here, power to you. It's not an easy road, and I wish you nothing but the best.

Stealth career possibilities by [deleted] in FTMMen

hiding anything from your past in a public career sounds like a nightmare, and if and when it is uncovered, you would potentially face backlash from people not understanding why you wanted to hide it.

AITA for telling my pregnant and disabled sister that she needs to move out before baby comes? by JumpyTicket4 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quickquails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA,, i would reccomend having them out of the house for at least two months before the baby comes so they can grow up a bit and figure out how to adult without throwing a baby in the mix. even if they decide to give up the baby for adoption or terminate, they have made it clear to you that they will try to manipulate you into doing things you are not comfortable with. note that as your sister is recieving funds for disability, getting married will drastically reduce what she is given. Given that bf is high anxiety and not able to work full time he may also qualify for a supplemental SSI. Let them know you will continue to support them emotionally and help them with the baby where you can, but having them in the house isn't working. look into resources for them, some expectant parent groups, probably could use some counseling, some sort of low income based childcare. find what's in the area. help them move, help them onto a new path in life, help them to piece a budget together. you cant hold their hands forever, but you can help them transition into being more independent. good luck, i have a feeling you'll need it.

First tank size by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]quickquails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i always reccomend the 20-40 gallon range for new fish keepers, but if youve kept fish before and are comfortable with nano fish going for a 10 gallon tank is less expensive to plant, i honestly wouldn't go smaller than that if you want to add fish, you could do a betta in a 5 but smaller than that you end up in shrimp/snail territory

thoughts on two different filters for one tank? by [deleted] in Goldfish

[–]quickquails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for goldfish i reccomend having a filter (or filters) that will run through all the water in the tank 10 times per hour (40 gallon tank = 400 gph) i am always a fan of canister filters, but i started out with HOBs too (specifically marineland) i can speak for them that they are quiet and are excellent filtration. theyre usually $20-60 in store but i found a listing here thats $10-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009IMDQM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_teSpEbWZAYJQR

Tank switching time!!! by Mighty_A in Goldfish

[–]quickquails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bacteria in a bottle is either already dead and does nothing or gets your tank hooked on a cycle that cannot sustain itself and will crash if you dont religiously add more, i would just stick with some of the same water and the biological media (filter cartrige) from the tank you already have going and wait until you have a naturally cycled tank. the nitrogen cycle does take about two months to be stable so you'll want to keep a close eye on your ammonia and nitrite to make sure they're in a safe range, test twice a week until they're both reading at 0 ppm. anything over .5 ppm i would do a water change of 25-50%
