Too wordy? Why am I not surprised to hear this? Could it be because someone who utilizes one dubious example to back up a rather inadequate point and then defend it from an obvious troll turning it into one of the worlds most unwarranted and uninteresting conversations ever held may lack the intellect to comprehend more than the words "Dinner time. :-)" and form the reply "Yay! Pudding!"? Let me stop you there, the answers yes.
Hate to break your flow but you could of taken that as an opportunity to stop pointlessly quibbling but now you've made it clear that this is infact what you want.
Well done. Please, by all means. Continue with your stupid, pointless, boring conversation that will inevitably write this thread off of anything remotely enjoyable or entertaining.

If you want to sound intelligent and not stupid, you should write proper English. I've just scanned through what you wrote - sorry, I can't read so much garbage and quite a lot of it is incomprehensible. I think you need an English lesson. Let me offer you one.

1. You wrote "you could of taken that..." and I must say that's really ugly. "Of" for "have" is something you might see in a careless child's writing but it's not suitable for more mature folks like us.

2. "In fact" are two words. Writing them as one is something you ought not to do if the purport of your message is to attack someone's post. Writing intelligently is important when you are seeking to do that.

Let this be the guiding principle of your life, and all will be well.

Yep, well done. Two minor grammatical errors have completely undermined my whole point. You haven't proven it even more valid at all.
As entertaining as people must find your scanning for what few grammatical errors you can find is there any chance you could fuck off now before you taint this entire thread with your dull, colourless presence?

Oh wow, I remember the first time I watched that film. I mean I knew there was something going on that I couldn't quite put my finger on but then the screen scrolls down her naked body; "slightly larger than average shoulders but we can work with that... unusually small breasts but nevermind... what this? Oh... ok. Yeah, the rest of it kind of makes sense now."
I must of awoken the entire street with the words "I fucking knew it!"

Touchy, aren't we? I suppose it must have been rather embarrassing for you. Naughty me. You are the one who should get the fuck out of here. Your posts are inane, predictable and so bloody boring. Spare us please and just get the hell out. Go and entertain your nephews but please spare us your company. They're probably the only ones who will enjoy your insipid babble.

Oh, yeah, I actually have a couple of stories about that.

I started hormone treatment in November 2008, so since then, I've had very little testosterone in me and the majority of the change from lack of testosterone happened pretty quick.

Nov `08 was also around when the recession hit and I was out of work for a while. When I did find work again, I was working in a nursing home as a nurse aide. I had done this work before and I enjoyed it. Thing was, when I did the work before, I had that testosterone going through my system; now I didn't. I was supposed to grab the other side of a sheet with a resident on it to lift him to a higher position in the bed, right? Plan was, count to three, lift and pull. One..... Two..... Three! I lift and..... waitaminute...... he's a whole lot heavier than he looks. It wasn't that I couldn't do it as much as the jobs that were physically easy before were now quite difficult.

Later on, I went to the store to do some shopping. I was going to buy a 24 pack of Pepsi. I had grabbed those things several times, walked all over the store and never had trouble with it. However, all those times were 'before.' Now when I tried it was much more difficult; I think I dropped the first case I grabbed on the floor just because I was a little off guard about how heavy it would feel.

Quote:Do they find the way they approach certain situations to be radically different? Does their personality change in anyway, shape or form?

It's changed me quite a bit, but it varies for everyone. Before, testosterone made me angry and violent all the time; I hated it. Now most of that anger is gone and violence is pretty limited to video games for me as of now. I cry easier too, which I like if you can believe that; it's an emotional release that I didn't feel like I had before.

Although, for a while, those emotional changes were a bit overwhelming. Combined with the fact that my life was a mess (homeless, penniless, dumped by family), I was really unstable. My left forearm is covered in scars from self harm; I haven't done any of that since November 2009, but for a while there it was really tough.

Dude, stop being an immature brat. If you had nothing to reply with you shouldn't have done so.

There are female rugby leagues... If this boy was transsexual and wanted to play rugby with women she could. There's probably even coed rugby leagues. I would guess playing rugby was a rather minor consideration to this person's feelings about their body/gender. Being an athlete does not necessarily mean being the pinnacle of masculinity. I get the point you're trying to make, but it's a little off...

Us? Listen Ken Barlow, I don't think you can really presume to be speaking on anyones behalf right now. This entire dialogue emerged because you were stupid enough to rise to puddles clear troll and it was clear you two were going to take up the whole thread and force out any interesting conversation with the rather bland argument that would follow.
Now if you want to continue that, fine. But don't expect me or anyone else to humour it. You are idiots doing what idiots are prone to doing, taking up entire threads with boring nonsense. I refuse to assist in it.
With that I will leave you to what is clearly in your nature.

You see thats fascinating. I wonder if anyones ever done experiments on what happens when you increase the levels of testosterone as far as they can safely go?
I like to think you'd get the incredible hulk.

Sorry about the negative impact it had, are you alright now?
