| Wow, I relate to so much of what you wrote, even though I'm a good deal older than you (almost 10 years). My main emotion is still fear, despite being on anti-anxiety medication for many years. I feel like something broke the "reward" center in my brain, because I don't find joy in the thi... |

| So frustrated right now. After 8+ failed attempts at therapy and some really bad experiences with some awful therapists, I finally started seeing one I really like about a month ago. Unfortunately, she is out of my insurance network. I was willing to take on the additional cost (I thought my benefit... |

| So frustrated - I finally got out my old sewing machine, bought new needles, thread, feet, and other supplies I was missing. All set up, but I can't get it to work anymore. Everything seems fine, and it will sew a few stitches, but then it jams up and makes a weird buzzing noise. I disassembled all ... |

| Following this thread - I really need to find less obnoxious ways to stim at work. (No one says anything, but I'm sure my leg jiggling, tongue clicking, nail biting, etc. annoy those around me.) My efforts at stopping nail biting many years ago morphed into lip chewing, which is even worse. |

My partner of four years (polyamorous the entire time), has been growing increasingly nervous/angry about continuing polyamory (mos... |

| First glance would make it a nope for me. "Singles"? There is a lot of overlap between neurodiverse & non-monogamous communities, and this would exclude a lot of people. |

That's what my question is about! What IS the "state" of being either male or female? What does that even mean, if it's not any of the things I listed in my OP? |

| My husband would agree that gender is, in fact, a social and cultural thing. It seems to me that it has to be more than that though since so many people will say that they just feel like a man or a woman. That feeling seems to be some deeper core thing, rather than a societal construct at work. May... |
