    I don't know if I just just laughed with my mouth closed or vomited in my mouth... Again, I don't think warmed beverages are on topic.

    Now, THIS is an appropriate time to say "Lyman is gross".

    Well, I mean, if we're talking stereotypes here…. I AM a straight teenage guy…. :grin:

    I don't have ASD in any way, shape, or form. I have a mild (and mostly dealt with) form of PLI (pragmatic language impairment), which sometimes comes with some of autism's social symptoms! Hey, I'm pretty sure I don't have any typically autistic traits.

    I am a transguy and have Asperger's...along with suspected PCOS (says my doctor... I certainly hope not)

    Yes my testosterone levels are higher than most. It's like my body decided to start itself on a half-dose T prescription. I have a nearly completely male voice and male pattern hair. I think in a masculine way and act like a guy.

    That's kind of cool :grin: It's like your body is transitioning by itself!

    I kind of hope it'll do more but currently I am stuck in a very strange place. Any further and my mom would probably take me to a doctor... Start me on estrogen and shit.

    SHERLOCK HOLMES! HELLO! :grin:

    Yeah I've been wondering about PCOS, due to the extreme weirdness of my, y'know, "time of the month" (in my case, it's more like "time of the six weeks"). I grow a little more hair than the rest of my cis-female family members, especially on my upper lip. However, I have decently clear skin and haven't gained any weight, so I'm not sure if PCOS is right.

    My speaking voice, when I'm not super agitated, is pretty male. My brain gender is most definitely male, I get along better with guys, and even people I'm not out to view me as "the bro". I think at least a few people have mistaken me for a lesbian before. :eusa_doh:

    Earlier today when I was at school, I was studying the way I walk, I found out that when I am wearing shoes, I will walk normally, but if I'm not waring anything, wearing socks or running I end walking on my ball and toes. I also stand on the ball and toes when I'm standing still without shoes.

    I just don't run. I'll sprint maybe a couple hundred yards, but that's the end of it. If I try running farther that that, my legs just drop out.

    I find it quite enjoyable that "walrusy" is an acceptable mood on this site.

    Hello, I'm Riley. I'm feeling walrusy today.

    I don't understand. Did I miss something (I often do)?
