I honestly don't like being a male, and why I'm often mocked for it.

17"M", First of all, almost all of my friends are female. I won’t say their names, but I honestly dislike the look of myself, I’m growing my hair out long and I just hate how oily my hair gets. I have to take a 40+ min shower just to rinse off all the dried grease, then I have to use dandruff shampoo.

Also, I’m quite skinny. I HATE having skinny arms. I do Physical Therapy Exercises every other day, and do Pelvic Floor Exercises when I feel like it, because my pelvic floor can get tight and I spent last September to late December going to see a pelvic floor therapist where they had to release the tension by inserting a gloved hand in my butt. It felt really uncomfortable, but didn’t really hurt. She also had to press my belly and back to push the waste out, due to my POTS, which I was undiagnosed with POTS at that point. I may be going back due to excessive urinary leakage and still having other problems. I did do exercises, but they weren’t as tough as the ones I do for regular physical therapy.

One reason I often dislike being a male is due to these urological problems I have (stated above). More reasons? First of all, people at school ask me, “why do you have so much empathy and why are you so quiet? are you a girl?” another thing someone said to me is “Why are your friends almost exclusively girls?” Someone also told me that I look like a character that Trevor Henderson created. I struggle with PT exercises due to my POTS and EDS, my neck and arms will almost lock and tense up to the point where I can’t even feel parts of my body.

Also, what do people mean when they say that you can feel like a male or female. What does this actually mean?

Is this one of you? Found a license plate that shows “ETK780”

There is no ETK-780 though in the game.

Fun fact: Found it on the middle of a drive with my parents and sister from Michigan to Colorado. This was taken by the Montana-North Dakota state border.

Also, I have my drivers permit, but I was told that I have to drive on the way home through Kansas.

Yes, I play BeamNG, play on a PC of which specs I forgot it has.

Pristine Iron Duke Fiero at the Pontiac 100th Anniversary Event.

Weren’t the Iron Duke the ones known for catching fire? combine that with a fiberglass body. I didn’t get a photo of the front because my phones brightness was on low due to a weak battery, I did not fully press the button for the snapshot. It was also very sunny out.

The Grumman LLV (Mail Trucks) uses the same engine, an iconic, low revving (Pushrod/OHV setup) engine known as the Iron Duke. During the oil crisis, many FireBirds sold used the underpowered Iron Duke, very few of these firebirds exist due to people swapping the engines out with V8s or just simply junking the vehicles. Existing iron dukes are often refurbished by other companies, often with modifications to better fuel economy, which the LLV was known for its poor fuel efficiency due to its poor aerodynamics, combine that with carbon buildup in the pistons.

Seats remind me of my dad’s Mazda CX-50.

Also, I saw fire extinguishers under the wheels of some vehicles, what does that mean?

If there’s one 80s vehicle I see everywhere. It’s the Fiero, I usually see one driven with cracked body panels or a mismatched wheel. Beware I live in Ypsi, it’s a normal site to see one in 20 degree weather without an engine hatch on the rear.

I wanted to see a 2001 Pontiac Aztek GT VersaTrak ISC(1SC), there were none. :’(

Photos taken with a 3rd gen iPhone SE, my main electronic device along with an iPod touch from 2007.

If you see a “Lamborghini Countach,” it’s probably one of these. I’ve only seen ONE legit Countach and it was at Volkswagen’s Factory HQ in Wolfsburg Germany.

International Scout II and Pontiac Chieftain at the 100th anniversary Pontiac event in Michigan.

The long haired guy is my dad. He drove me here, and wouldn’t let me drive despite me getting my driver’s permit. A Vietnam Veteran also offered and said to me “Hey bud, wanna sit in my truck?” I said “no thank you.” There were several vehicles for sale, both restored and unrestored. I saw a red tempest for sale that went for $26000 that was fully restored.

My dad has an extreme obsession with the International Scouts, and this is the first restored one I’ve seen, I saw a dark blue one in Colorado with faded blue paint.
