every day the passage of time slips in and out of my perception and confuses & befuddles me. not calling it time blindness anymore we’re calling it time traveler syndrome because that is infinitely cooler.

my gender is girl but NOT woman

#true.

the trans experience of, after running as far away from your forcibly assigned gender as possible, turning around and cautiously approaching it from the other side

#lmaoooo y e a h #tentatively calling myself a girl every once in a while

Being transgender makes you incredibly hot and sexy... this is what they don't want you to know

My gender is making all my friends realize they’re gay

Gotta love that autism/ADHD/mental illness mood where you’re severely understimulated but every potential stimulus is somehow Wrong. :(

being neurodivergent is fun because so much of my memory is just ??????

The "all nonbinary terms are childish" rhetoric feels a lot less like "childish terms are getting applied to nonbinary people against their will" and a lot more like "I think all nonbinary terms are childish because nonbinary people are inherently childish to me."

Anyway "enby" is a perfectly reasonable shortened form of "nonbinary," y'all just have sand in your underpants.

#yeah like if youre nonbinary and you dont like the term then i feel that thats chill #but god if youre not then shut up.?? #who cares?? let people use whatever terms they want??? #i happen to like a lot of em

gender is a performance and i’m an overenthusiastic extra who plays 11 different characters, and whose stupidly energetic line delivery makes me an audience fave and also widely despised by the rest of the cast

you have ADHD? Oh.... well i have autism... i was thinking.. maybe... we could kiss each other... *twirling hair on fingers flirtily*

I'm going to be blunt for a moment when I say: I don't give a fuck why I'm trans. I don't care if it's because my brain isn't aligned with my assigned sex, or if my genetic coding went haywire in utero, or if my identity is the product of my environment. It could be a million things all at once or it could be none. It's not that simple to pinpoint why we're complex.

All I care about is that I'm trans now - that I deserve to be respected that way. I don't need justification to prove that I am a real, living person with real feelings. Besides, no amount of proving the validity of transness will prove to transphobes that they ought to respect us. Their beliefs stem from a disgust response, not from a logically-based response.

I don't want an explanation for my transness - I want freedom to be me. Explaining why I am the way I am doesn't really help me because I'll still be trans. What helps is respecting, loving, and uplifting trans people: to treat us as human.

I can not believe the amount of ableism i faced from peers and family as a child because of my adhd

being yelled at for forgetting things or not paying attention

people getting mad at me all the time for being too sensitive

teachers yelling at me for drawing during class even though it helped me pay attention , they never believed me when I said it helped

constantly being elbowed and kicked underneath the table as a kid for saying something that wasnt socially acceptable

being discouraged from using accomodations to help manage my adhd

people getting mad at me and/or mocking me for not knowing about important details or upcoming events

constantly being told to shut up or be quiet

instead of helping me break out of hyperfocus; whatever i was hyperfocusing on would be taken away and hidden as punishment (ex/ books, games)

no one believing me about my struggles with assignments and starting/doing them

everyone assuming i was lying when i said i forgot and that's why I didn't do whatever i was expected to do

#'and you havent cleaned the bathroom!!' 'i just did!!!' #'just? its been a month???' 'i-i thought that was a few days ago' #that ones fun #happens like. every time
