I completely ignore the gender on the door in those scenarios. I mildly annoyed one guy who wanted to use the "men's" restroom once, but no one has ever given me much crap about it. I mean, when you gotta pee, you pee where you can.

Big boobs, little boobs, there is a third option to be self conscious about! I have a concave chest (pectus excavatum). My sternum is depressed from my ribcage by a bit more than an inch. I have gotten the somewhat freaked-out response "Gah, why does it DO that?"

That is exactly what I thought. Then I was confused because I've definitely had days at school where I was so tired my head kept dropping down to the desk, but I don't think it looked quite like that.

Jein.

I convinced myself it is cheapest. Not sure if that is actually true.

Ich bin super, ja stimmt. Aber was bin ich über?

Ich bin super geil ;)

How I learned what 'geil' means.

She also won the world championships in '97. And lots of other impressive shit before that.

She was 15 when she won the '98 olympics. She's 31 now, so that was half a lifetime ago. Professional athletes' careers are strange.

Ohh I just sit in a tub of a few inches of hot water for that very reason. (I only don't use a lot of water because of environmental guilt, not because I don't love me a deep bath.) But then it has also been suggested to me I may have Raynaud's, and sometimes nothing else can warm me up.

Damn... 1 in 6? I didn't want to believe that, but then I went back and read a CDC report on it. Not that I would disbelieve ANY individual person saying it happened to them, I just didn't want to believe it was quite that prevalent.

Just for clarification, by 'being a guy' do you mean your stepfather (as opposed to your teacher) or you (considering the experiences of a sexually abused male may differ from that of a female)?

That bothered me too. It's stupid, all sex toys are good sex toys as long as they are being used by people who want to be using them.

That's awesome. I love situations where everybody wins.

I took debate in high school. We couldn't always pick the side we wanted to argue, but we still wanted to win the debate, so we still tried. It was a good way to get perspective, and I was forced to see the merit in it. Being 'devil's advocate' is not usually the best approach in conversations with strangers, though.

"saying things that made me as a dude who spends most of his time on 4chan uneasy"

strikes a nerve* (gah... I say things badly sometimes)

Hey now, be nice. I have a concave chest. I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it a deformity, but my sternum is definitely not quite where most peoples' are. It's super noticeable if I am laying down. I am not thin, and it is not a result of anything I have done to myself. It is not that uncommon, and is…

I fucked up my tailbone 2 years back. Now all chairs are painful to sit in for extended periods of time. It helps if there is space to lean forward, but not always. Prescription pain meds are your friend.
