    Sorry, op. I’m locking this thread, the discussion is getting too ugly for individualized moderation.

    Fuck. My autistic self has enough problems already and recently I get all gender-questioning while hugging my Blåhaj (still comfortably cis by day though). Seeing articles that imply I am “at risk” of being queer does not help: I don’t want to go through the phase of finding out and potentially having to tackle the choices and processes involved before I sort out my ADHD-like symptoms. Trans folk REALLY is brave to have picked the fight against all the social norms. Should I unsubscribe from 196 to hopefully reduce the temptation to find out? Yes, I’m a bit of a coward.
