Since the OP made their post unrebloggable (and blocked me. Both actions they are well in with their right to do)

I'm going to make my response it's own post because I think the point is important

-

As someone who is autistic and has BPD and CPTSD and loads of trauma yes you sometimes need to change how you interact with others to keep people around

When I was 13 I hit the few friends I had when I was angry

I had to change that in order to keep those friendships

When I was in my early 20s if I was losing an disagreement with my husband I would threaten to kill myself. My husband told me it hurt him and was cruel and manipulative behaviour, because it was.

So I worked hard to change that to keep my relationship

It's easy to say "I shouldn't have to change for others" and that's true to an extent. You shouldn't change your interests or passions or dim your light. And you should have space to be imperfect and flawed and not have to pretend your ugly bits aren't real. But if something you are doing it causing other people harm you kinda need to change that.

That's called "living in a society"

People adapt to each other and make space for each other in their lives. You adapt to them and they adapt to you

You start being more diligent about throwing away the empty toilet roll because it really bothers them. They start warning you before they run the blender because you hate loud noises

I stopped threatening to kill myself because I was mad I was losing an argument and my husband stopped being so vocally judgemental amount media he personally dislikes

There is a certain type of person who heard the phrase "your emotions are valid" and took that to mean "my emotional reactions and my behaviour are always objectively correct because my emotions are valid and if you have an emotional response or react to what I'm doing negatively then you are wrong and you can't be hurt because my emotions are valid"

And that's a recipe for disaster

Your emotions are valid to feel. They are how you feel and there are reasons you feel the way you do

However, your reactions and behaviour are something you can learn to control and can be irrational

We live in a society and we as people change each other as we interact and that isn't necessarily a bad thing

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions

um excuse me?

a tv show about two gay dudes where

(1) they’re already in a committed relationship with each other

(2) the parents know about it and are accepting (even if clueless or tone-deaf)

(3) they’re both in their forties (!!), and just you know figuring stuff out, living life

(4) they work through their emotional constipation, past trauma, and different neuroses world views in order to become better people

(5) every SINGLE EPISODE features, i swear, a complete meal being lovingly prepared and recorded in FULL detail with a character voiceover narrating every step of the recipe????

(6) there are no cheap tricks such as the relationship being endangered or character death in order to add drama? everyone has enough to deal with on the day-to-day stuff, and that’s what they do.

(7) it’s a funny show? with heart and wisdom and a love of everyday moments??

obligatory disclaimer that it’s not a perfect show, and in particular may not be a perfect show for you, but i personally just love it so so much. it nurtures a part of the soul you didn’t know was there.

*external sensation only means you cannot change internal body sensations such as stomachache

#wait I forgot to count my own 🤦‍♂️ #so actually it's like 2.5 #cause I k ow mine and my dad's old cell number and then sometimes remember my dad's current number #I'm 35 but my memory sucks #polls

For example, while in middle school I decided to write my 'y's and 'g's extra curly, as if I was writing cursive, and I still do that today

#I've changed it more than once #it often sticks if I keep it up #the most recent was making it more legible to prepare for teaching #it wasn't illegible before but it was kinda messy #and it was before I knew for sure I didn't want to teach under 3rd grade long term #so I wanted a handwriting first graders/kindergartners could read

The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!
