It is an incredibly dangerous time for trans people. If you are given a forum at the White House you should act like an damned adult and not hurt the movement for instagram clout.

Many t years ago I was on holiday with my gf in a bar and she flipped, accusing me of flirting with two women on the other side of the room who were playing pool.
As well a defending my genuine innocence I was thinking, wow I can flirt? What did I do that looked like flirting?
When 2023 started, I was teetering on the brink of coming out. So this is my first #PrideMonth - I wrote about that and shared some of my work here:
https://markonart.com/pride-2023-art/ - hope you enjoy and happy #Pride y'all!
As an #ActuallyAutistc person I take 10.000 steps a day just by making two phone calls.
When people say things like
*Just be yourself*
*You're okay the way you are*
...they usually don't expect my autism showing up like
~me obsessing over a minor detail
~freaking out over a change of plans
~talking excessively about my SI
~getting a migraine from heavy perfume, too bright light or auditory overwhelm
~not bearing to see a living soul
~having a meltdown bc of severely disrupted routines
You can be a little strange. But not *this* strange.

My latest image is a cross between psychedelic and whimsical, I'd say. It's part of my continuing series of cats and flowers...

@actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics @actuallyadhd I asked my ex-wife about her ADHD and she confirmed what I thought. During our marriage, we knew she had ADHD. However, we did not suspect I had autism, or knew the terms neurodivergent and neurotypical.
At any rate, it is now confirmed: all my romantic relationships have been with neurodivergent people of various types.
Not sure what to make of that. π€
She does not see the same correlation in her romantic relationships with other people.

One con I attended had a morning session on how to meet people romantically. Around 40 in the room during self-introductions person opposite me said they'd been flirting with me for ages in the bar the previous night but I'd totally blanked them. Others nodded that they had noticed.
I DIDN'T KNOW! I thought they were just being friendly!
I now have a badge (pin) which says "Flirt blind. Make it clear".

Is that a thing? I mean the "get my attention before telling or asking me something?"
I drive my wife crazy by either never hearing something she says she said, or noticing she's talking and saying "wait. Start over."
She says I don't listen and should pay better attention. One of my many flaws she hates.
