@milkteawitch @actuallyautistic I’ve gotten better at these but historically: Airports suck. They’re big and loud and they’re full of points of no return that are perfect for starting anxiety. And they’re timed to the minute.
@milkteawitch @actuallyautistic omg how could I forget about security? You’re in an absurdly long line slowly snaking through a crowd of people, and then you get to the actual check point where you put everything through and pray there isn’t a problem

I'm a fairly average looking white guy, so I've never been pulled aside for "additional screening". I don't know how I'd react. Probably badly.
The first time my doctor said he wanted to perform a prostate exam, I blurted out "Not unless I get dinner and flowers first." Fortunately he found that funny.
@ScottSoCal @milkteawitch @actuallyautistic I’ve never had that happen, at least not in a while. But recently I forgot that scissors aren’t a thing you should have in your carry on and that got me pulled over for a bit. It worked out, but I’m glad he only checked the one pair of scissors 🥲
