There's something really weird about watching people project a queer identity onto some straight popstar and claiming her as a queer icon and ignoring all the queer artists who are like

There are just so many characters that should've been women.

Fundamentally I think a massive mistake that people make when engaging with trans discourse is assuming that everyone else is just as white and global northern as they are.

Like my entire existence just isnt accounted for half the time. Entire views on transgender politics and dynamics that does not properly account for what its like to be racialized at all.

White trans people will see statistics on trans deaths and think it’s about them and not the Black and Latine trans women that make up the vast majority of premature trans deaths.

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crash period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crash. Change jobs? Crash. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crash the moment you get home.

It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashes are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and crashing is just part of the process of living with it.

I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crash lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!
