Tomato soup base, rigatoni, vegan meatballs, basil, mirapoix base, probably some other stuff. Its very yummy!

But if someone wants to identify as a new category thats man-like but low T or castrated man or malen, I wouldnt take it away from them either.

I met a guy who didnt want to be a man but identified as a boy. He was very confident he was not non binary nor a woman nor anything else. Man to him came with too many stakes or too much baggage, or maybe twink death hit him hard decades ago?? I dunno. At the time I thought it was off, personally, I'd be open to hearing more but at the time it made me think of the MAP 4chan thing - this must have been 2018 or so. But he did seem sincere as identifying his gender as "boy"

I think in our social context, broadly western - so apologies if that's not you, most post menopausal women would be a bit offended if one suggested theyre no longer Women (capital W) just because they can't reproduce anymore. I can see the archeology there that sex is way more than just a binary so there could be categories like post menopausal woman (femalen) that exist. But I certainly wouldn't call anyone else that unless they self ID'd as it. The anxiety around low T and demasculinzation to me reads more like patriarchy than anxiety around category confusion (i.e. as if theyre not really Men but some different sex or gender category and that comes with too much baggage in transphobic patriarchal society) - if anything, they are just bog standard men who want to be men hence the fear of losing that because, dubiously, of low T.

I had a girl over, Ive seen her a few times for dates and stuff. She brought soup! We played cod zombies, she'd never done it. She turned to me with complete sincerity and asked "how do I do a headshot" and with all my might I stifled my laughter and said "you shoot them in the head"

It sounds very panic attacky certainly! You said it wasnt but honestly that sounds like a poetic description of a panic attack. You know you best, but a panic attack definitely doesnt have to be triggered by something scary or shocking - Ive had some come literally out of nowhere (well... I had had a lot of caffeine lol)

Ive never had that or heard of it otherwise. When Ive been very clinically depressed before I took Effexor, for me it was more like lethargic and having a hard time switching tasks. Ive definitely felt hopeless or felt despair, but I wouldnt have described it the way you wrote just now.

I went with an hour with lessons and 30 minutes to an hour of practice a day. Which was a lot, 30 minutes wasnt so bad and I could squeeze it in. Doing the straw phonation thing definitely helped the most if I somehow didnt have time at all for anything.

The lizards in charge of my buildings boiler (we dont have thermostats in the suites) turned on the boiler when it was finally dipping to 9° C, and then there was another mini blast of summer where it was peaking 26° C. I think it would be reasonable to wear a jacket or removable sweater outside, perhaps a blanket inside, but they decided that actually we needed full blast heat. Luckily I found my secret shut off valve, nyaha haaaa.... I can finally enjoy the chill.

Years ago, I lived with a roommate elsewhere and it was during a big heat dome. I went to my moms to escape the heat in a different city for a week, I couldnt deal with 40° C in the day and 30° C at night (no A/C, we have never needed it). I came back and my roommate had the heat on maxed out at 36°, so the boiler had been on. She was walking around in a bra and shorts. I never asked her what was up with that, it was mere silent acknowledgement...

I use non coring needles from work but yeah you shouldnt inject plastic into your IM tissue. Youre not injecting straight systemic anyway so it's not like it'll float in your blood vessels, but its not great to have stuff deep in your subq or muscular tissue. I have some filter tip non coring needles as well, Ive had the same thing happen even with "non coring" needles. No big deal, I just use the filter tip needles for the rest of the vial.

Wouldve been nice if it had lasted a full year though! Nice and poetic~ too bad this time, maybe vial 2 will last a year?

I dunno, if you met someone who started the same time as you and did as much training, went out in girls clothes as much as you, told as many people aa you have in your life, what would you tell that person if they asked "why does it seem like its moving slow"?

If youre injecting, the time of day you inject doesnt matter that much on a q4 day, qweekly basis.

One of the best feelings in the world is topping a top and domming a dom.

I'm an RN, my college explicitly says we don't have it as an entry to practice qualification. But it doesn't take much to get it, its usually a 1 or 2 day thing - costs a lot though.

NPs can prescribe it too, but I dunno its such a big swing from what I wanted to do with it if I ever got it ..
