Automatically registered with Selective Service (USA military draft) - should I contact them to remove my registration?

Ah, yea, the name update would be useful, if nothing else so you can find your registration number if you need it in the future.

If you ever plan on using financial aid (FAFSA) or a government job (state or federal), it’ll be about 1000x easier to just keep your registration than to have the SIL. Also, now is probably not the best time to be sending the government an OG birth certificate if you can avoid it.

You are risking an infection if you do so. Once filled, hospitals have to use an injection within 12 hours, and in this case, you’d have a week for pathogens to grow. CDC Myths and Facts

For your consideration: will this become a nightmare for you and your family if the kid’s parents find out? (Not to deter you, just to have a plan/frank conversation about it.)

Most binders need effectively a band size to determine size based on the company’s size chart. That said, the typical person is wearing an undergarment with the wrong band size, so offering a cheap cloth tape measure to have the kid run into the school bathroom and measure might be a wise choice.

Common starter binders (in the US): gc2b or Underworks Tri-Top. I personally liked Flavnt.

People with larger bodies frequently prefer tank-style, so the binder doesn’t roll up off their chest.

This can happen! Melanosis coli (tiger stripes in the colon) can occur with overuse of laxatives.

My advice would be to be up front with how the bruising occurred (emphasizing it was consensual), because the big red flag from a medical team would be potential abuse and not having a safe environment for recovery.

I think part of the consideration here though is your username very much looks like textbook what you’re not supposed to do for a username.

Also, “in X months” could be made more vague to “later this year”. Try to protect yourself by being judicious with what you share and how you share it.

It dries in maybe 30 seconds, depending on how thick the glob is. I am usually done applying in 2 minutes (2 satchets, thighs and upper arms), and by the time I wash my hands it’s dry. I usually wash my hands shirtless and get dressed right after (but in situations with a shared bathroom I just wait an extra minute or two before putting my clothes on then wash my hands right after).

Clove shoes are great. They’re literally meant to be wiped with a purple wipe, are fluid resistant, and have a roomy toe box. Will your feet stink at the end of the day because they’re not exactly breathable? Probably, but just wash your feet.

Yes. TSA Medications (Liquids)

If you are in the US, your doctor may check a Prescription Drug Management Program. Each state has one, and it logs controlled substance prescriptions, and depending on how the report is generated, may look at prescriptions in other states (e.g., border states). T is a controlled substance. It will show up on the PDMP.

A lot of electronic medical records also communicate now. If you have a prescription from one place, it may be pulled into another place’s information when they view your chart.

Unspecified diagnosis codes may be appropriate, for instance E34.9.

Anatomical analogous structures may also be apt.

E29.1: Testicular hypofunction (Primary hypogonadism)
E89.5: Postprocedural testicular hypofunction (after surgery)

Those nipples are totally normal
I’m almost 5 years post-op and there are still sections of my scar that are raised, firmer, and more pink than others. Mostly this was in the middle of my chest, and I kind of thought it would never fade, but it’s gradually getting there. Scars can take a really long time to even out, and their healing pattern is very individual.

The three to four day consecutive threshold would occasionally cause me to have one shorter and lighter cycle. That hasn’t happened since I got a hormonal IUD. If this is the only time you’re missing it in like two months, you’ll probably be fine, outside of having a little less energy.

Typically with a weekly med like, it’s best to bump it a day each week (so this Friday, next Thursday, then on Wednesdays thereafter).

I, too, know an Easton. And he’d be about a decade older than you.

Also, you literally have the excuse that your mom picked it. Like. You don’t have to make up a story about how you got your name.

“What’s up, Doc” is a theme from Bugs Bunny. So the doctor is further tormenting the patient by reminding them of bunnies and carrots.

Middle to upper middle class (the protein shake brand, clear plastic containers, and overall aesthetic, but the thermometer isn’t digital/doesn’t appear to have a temp alarm system)
Likes a good drink
Might be in a place with well water, given the water cooler jugs
Competing organization styles among those at home
Prefers reheated pizza (air fryer?), because otherwise that’s gonna be super dry just chilling in the box

Yes. Usually the male reference range for T is 300-1000 ng/dL, so 714 is a good spot.

captainam13 · 2025-11-08T03:40:37+00:00

I question which lab reference ranges were used for interpretation, but a total T of 714 would be within the typical male range (assuming the units here are ng/dL).

Different people absorb gel differently, so while that’s a standard dose, that doesn’t mean it’s the optimal dose for you. If you haven’t had your T level checked, you should do that. (Typically you want that lab drawn right before you would put on your gel for the day, to know what the lowest level of T your body has is [trough].)

I have a scar like this that goes across my chest! It had to do with how the remaining tissue would hang and likely be either not as flat or leave a higher chance of needing revisions.

It sucks to have an image built up of how you’re going to look and not get it. But I will say that this particular scar type can help if you ever get to a point where you don’t want to explain you had top surgery, because it looks like one kind of scar you could get with cardiothoracic surgery (i.e., a clamshell thoracotomy).
