Do you feel like you can relate to trans men?
Yep. The first trans people in my life that helped me when I was struggling to come out were trans men. And they were the first people I had ever spoken to about this stuff where I didn’t have to explain everything. They just got it…
If they’re unrelated, why do you bring it up?
Because it sounded funny?
What’s something you wish you could tell a younger version of yourself and why?
“You have ADHD. Do something about it, or it will sabotage you for years, without you knowing why you can’t do the things everyone else seems able to do”
I’m iny 40s and finally got help from a doctor about it after getting the runaround for decades.
Oh my God I am so retroactively angry.
Yep. I got diagnosed after my kiddo did, and it’s hard not to be angry at all of the missed opportunities and losses that it has caused me, because I simply wasn’t equipped to understand or work around the executive function deficits
