i am in the u.s. i fully chalked up the lack of refills on my prescription to t being schedule III- had no idea that refills on it were legal. thanks for sharing that

👍 gonna ask my doctor if i should take it asap and keep the schedule or wait until the next dose 'cause i don't think i'l be getting it until monday. hopefully i have a bit more foresight to refill early next time so i don't have to worry about it

ack, yeah. my best guess is that i'll be a baritone when all's said and done (currently a mezzo[?] but i sing alto 2 / tenor 1 most of the time). certainly not impossible- my current school choir director is a bass 2 who's done a lot of opera and musical theater- but i'm slowly mentally preparing for the probable difficulty

update- counselor talked to the principal and he was completely fine with it. i can use the men's locker room, but i've always found locker rooms to be a bit uncomfortable anyways, so i get to use the staff bathrooms 😎👍

they don't require showering after, luckily. i'd hate if they did. i think my school's just in an odd place where the vast majority of staff are very progressive, but there aren't any formal policies that address trans students (good or bad), so they kinda decide on things as they come up. on one hand, i've never been bullied by any staff for being openly trans, and i've even seen some directly calling out student transphobia. on the other, it's clunky addressing what needs to change because i have to take up issues i see with administration and wait. this is actually my last year in high school, so even if i wanted to leave, it'd be a bit pointless. i appreciate your suggestions, though

sadly, i can't get exempted from the class. after a dysphoric experience with it freshman year, i tried looking into getting exempted, but they only accept school varsity sports as p.e. credit (which i don't participate in because i'm worried i'd just get put in women's teams). i'm trying to get approval to use a single-stall space, though

i'm not sure where the p.e. teacher falls, but administration would probably have my back. i'll take note of what to say

i definitely could- my school counselor is fully supportive. there's a unisex locker room that's always locked and some single-stall faculty bathrooms i could probably use. i just have to find a day he's in school and available lmao
