| Well, my gender matches my sex. It's other people who don't understand what an XX/XY chimera is. lol I am a boy, and a girl. I love being that confusing to people.. not that I can help it. To answer your question, it depends on the person and if we get along, not on what her body's appearance or soc... |

| Any MMORPG's I play, I always pick either a class that is reasonably easy to Solo, or just make a character I like to look at (since I'll be playing for so long). Most of the time, if I'm ever in a group, I get the homophobic slurs, or stupid people asking me what sex my character is... like it's no... |

| I cannot stand ableists. My whole life has been full of them. Ugh. The only thing that helped with my parents was to tell them that I've done the research and I know more about my body and what I need than they do. And then to say that over and over again until it clicks. Most people have no idea th... |

| I wear clothes outside of my bedroom, but usually don't wear them. They are not exactly comfortable. My partner seems to find it fun to lounge around with me in the buff sometimes. |

| Think again, and think hard, about why you are calling people "leeches on society" or "coddled social misfits". Think what it might be like to really not be able to work. Putting people down when you haven't thought about what their lives are like, much less walked a mile in their shoes, isn't some... |

| How do you actually prove that you can't work without actually getting a job and then completely melting down, losing self-respect, etc.? I get benefits for food, but those will not last. I cannot be anywhere near loud sounds, crowds, florescent lighting, and if there's a storm nearby, I'm a comple... |

| I'm much the same in that regard. I just knew what I was from a young age. I have had therapists insist I was not serious simply because I just KNEW. I didn't need therapy to prove it. For me it was more about being sure, really sure for myself, and then worrying endlessly over being accepted by my ... |

| It's just exhausting. I think the bipolar pattern is basically a post-traumatic stress reaction that only compounds itself with time. I wonder how to get out of it. My environment was significantly more stressful than it should have been. I avoid saying that cause I don't want to be whiny and ungra... |

I am very distrustful of people, especially certain ones/types, and I deal with triggers nearly every day... |

| This is what I am working on. I have been this way my whole life, and while it bothers me, I would rather not do away with it, but just understand it more. Like if I knew why it was happening, and what was causing it, I could do what needs to be done to help myself. Mine is stress-related and a lot ... |
