Funny, I was thinking of visiting a bookstore the other day for this reason; the library doesn't allow hanging out at the moment

Americans are free to complain about America

Other nations are free to complain about America, but are they free to complain about their own nation... 🤔

People like to complain and everyone is free to complain about America... maybe that has something to do with it 🤷

Aside from biopsy, is there an indicator of which scan to go with when there's such a conflict?

I'm sure there's quite a few things to factor in, but I also think there's a difference between a benign mass/or something else not harmful and "normal" which kinda sounds like there was nothing at all... 🤷

Highly approve of the response given, thank you 👍

I can get behind a $15 stadia pro + Ubi sub or even $20 if it was ONE payment; psychologically speaking, I'd probably pay the $25-$30 if it was ONE sub

Whichever one that doesn't have what's bothering you... otherwise it's personal preference 🤷

And I'm not trying to be Captain Obvious or a d!CK

Cause my friend who has a few skin issues and who's been reacting badly to like every food and can barely stay outside... can use and loves Squatch!

Since May, he's been using Fresh Falls hair products (plenty left), just finishing up Birchwood Breeze deodorant, and has gone through pine tar, area 51, and working on Mars Bar for soap.

*If sensitive to touch then other than grit, you can consider using loofa or wash cloth

His skin never looked or felt so good (his opinions) and his hair looks a lot healthier. As an added bonus, he didn't have to heavily medicate against plants this year; last summer he had to take steroid pill, a gel, and a cream - this year, nothing (seriously, the soap stopped his body from being COVERED)

So, check out the ingredients and find a bar or two to try!

I don't even care about the discount; I just want to pay and play for the year (and not worry about whether or not I have the money any given month)

Benefit of monitoring blood work - catching problems before they're problems. Having normal/standard cis male levels shouldn't be causing issues, however, under/overshooting might. That said, you can stop hormones UNLESS you have FULL hysto - that you'll need stay on hormones (whichever you choose). There's also donating blood.

So, it's not really a be all end all

But I really do commend you for actually thinking about the future

Well, how old is your kid?

Regardless, therapy first. Now, when I say therapy, I don't mean gender therapy. Sorry not sorry but general mental health needs to be addressed first. For them and family counseling should definitely be considered. That said, there's probably a mix of age and possibility being trans causing the problems.

Again, age is important here as far as giving advice cause I've mixed feelings about when HRT should be started...

That said, sounds like hormone blockers might be a good start. This might be a good compromise between your future health fears and what your kid may need.

That said, let's talk about future health care. I don't really have answers but don't think enough people actually think about this as much as they should (and I mean people in general). But I definitely have a few thoughts (and willing to discuss more if you want to message me).

Most things won't really be a problem if actually monitored correctly; basic blood work (blood and metabolic) and testosterone and anything that needs a closer look (things like thyroid) should be a regular thing not just as needed. Testosterone is a control substance and the need to reauthorize once a year should be taken as an opportunity to get all 3 done. Check T levels 1-2 more times a year and regular blood work 2-3 more times. This might seem excess to some, but this will give a good idea of how your kid is doing. And I honestly don't think the quick finger prick like they do at PPH is efficient enough 🤷

Now, I believe someone mentioned already stroke is more or less going to happen to cis men for going above normal levels. Well, this just means don't overdo the T - more isn't necessarily better. But if you're keeping an eye on the blood work this really shouldn't be an issue. However, this does stress the importance of getting the proper levels.

Late 20's and already having issues with down stairs, I was able to get my hysto a lot easier - to the relief of my gyno. Never wanted bio kids. So, I'm really not the person to speak about keeping down there tip top shape. But be aware that all of that can be removed if it becomes health concern. Though, I get the feeling this is more or less a having kids issue...

As far as top surgery and wanting them under your roof... that shouldn't have an age limit. And quite honestly, the wording of that really amplifies that there's a problem. If you're worried about your kid being older and getting it done on their own: 1. they should be old enough to be out on there own to make that decision 2. they'd go to you if they have to (as long as you keep that door open) but you might also need to offer it (this is a talking point that I actually know about). This might actually be a good topic to use to help with what's going on. *Come up with a lists of things (not necessarily all): steps to get approved for surgery, insurance options, ways to earn/save money, surgeons, things to do during recovery, etc (I'm an idea guy and would be more than happy to help with any of this)

This is getting very long and I'm sure riddled with errors and sure gonna caught some slack 😅
