Yep. Burnout can take aaaaageeessss to get over.

Yep. Like “You could achieve so much if only you put in a little effort”. 🗡️😵 Thanks for noticing how much effort I put in, I’ll be sure to try again in the future.

only ever had one that tried to sneak around.

Oh, so you do understand that some cats try to sneak around, but decided to be judgemental about something you have experience with.

Exactly. Like I have to ignore a lot of pain constantly, but that’s cause I live with chronic pain 24/7/365. So if I want to do anything with my life I have to deal with it when it’s manageable. But when it passes my threshold I am out. Done, I need to rest, take a break, meds, nap, etc. And then I get shamed by people “for not being able to handle a little pain”, even though I’m in more pain every day than many people have ever been in.

I’ve done this about migraine. “Incurable neurological brain condition” gets lots of sympathy, migraine gets “oh boohoo, you have a “headache””.

Yep. Like trauma can make you sex repulsed, but it won’t change your sexuality.

Yep, my one grandma would do this, it was so irritating to go anywhere with her.

Yep, exactly. But some people refuse to learn the difference. Especially given the number of people who justify misgendering me by saying “It’s kinda hard to not see you as a woman when you’re dressed like one” when 100% of what I’m wearing is from the men’s department.

I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be non-binary and whoever did the stats didn’t know the difference. I’m non-binary and the number of people who assume that GNC, non-binary and androgynous all mean the same thing is ridiculously high. I’ve seen surveys that have gender options of “male, female, gender non-conforming”.
