I’m schizophrenia and autism. I am a convicted sex offender and am being strongly told I must take the testosterone block medication andracur. Do you think I should be able to refuse.

    Homie, it doesn’t matter. This is one of those most basic societal rules; don’t harm others (some exceptions like self defense, etc) and then don’t do shit with kids. You are the adult, it is entirely on you to police yourself. It seems you weren’t able to, so others have stepped in. If that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes.

        I don’t think anyone is trying to minimize your issues; it’s not usually as black and white as it seems. However, your issues have made others need to step in for the community. You’ve taken it out of your hands and involved others, can’t go back. I’d say at this point, it’s best to let go and atone how society sees fit.

          Yes I know that. My life is screwed really though. If I go back to prison I will probably get beaten up again but if I take the drugs it will seriously change me I will get fat and grow breaststroke more than likely and more serious stuff. Thinking that at 21 I won’t be able to jack off Is very daunting

            Brother, I’d think about how you can not mess up the same way in the future, not about how your appearance is gonna be or how you might not be able to beat it. It seems like you’re just wanting everyone to ignore what you did because it effects you negatively.

              I know that. I am also on strong antipsychotic depot injections of haloperidol. My head is screwed up I’m not making excuses. My autism efects my thinking I needed help when I was 18 and I maybe would not be a convict now.

                No, I’d say you aren’t making excuses. You’re just worrying about the wrong things. You needed help, I assume you’re getting help now. Let them help. If this is what’s being recommended, I’d listen

        It sounds like you’re saying that you need medication in order to behave appropriately, so you’re answering your own question. You certainly aren’t making the case that you should be free to follow your natural instincts.

          I would take it more to get out of prison early to honest. I don’t really want to change cos I don’t know what change would look like

                  I got beaten three times in three years cos I’m different and get picked on. The guards are in the take and let me get badly injured before they intervention.
