I hate the idea that weird is bad. Like no actually I think being weird and funky and distinctively your own person is pretty cool.

PSA because I have gotten this more and more as service dog awareness has gotten more and more in the past couple years.

I find this mostly to be a problem in like queer disabled spaces. I run into the problem of people, wanting to respect my service dog so much that they don’t really respect me..(?) like they’re visibly like walking on eggshells whenever they’re near me. No one sits next to me or talks to me. I think in an attempt to not “offend me” by distracting my dog when they don’t even know me.

I don’t know if this will go for all handlers, but it goes for everyone I’ve talked to. You will be fine around a service dog handler if you were not purposely trying to distract it. If you’re doing something just cause like fidgeting or somethingand the dog gets distracted that’s on the handler and the dogs training. It’s not your fault, and stop apologizing for it. It gets quite annoying after a while.

TLDR a treat service dog handlers like people and like the dog isn’t there.

So. Tadc episode 8 happened. And I have. SO MANY THINGS TO SAY as someone who loves Caine and has related to him since the beginning.

The first thing I want to talk about is why I find Caine to be so relatable as an autistic person.

Caine is programmed to make humans happy, much like how humans are “programmed” to socialize with and get along with other humans.

Like Caine, autistic people struggle with our human-oriented “programming” due to other parts of our own “programming”.

We often put lots of work into relationships and making people like us with little success, and we are left wondering why.

Like Caine, the reason is that we struggle to understand what the people around us want and how to give it to them.

Now most of us don’t crash out on the same level as Caine about it, but we do face mental health problems as a result of these struggles.

the autism mood of never knowing when its “your turn” in a convo so you say the first word of your sentence about 5 times before you actually get to speak

So... it's been months since i started hormone therapy. And obviously, a lot has changed. My voice, facial and body hair, bottom growth, muscle mass, etc.

But here's the thing. I am a very feminine person, both physically and in style.

I have long hair, i wear makeup, my nails are long most of the time, and my fashion sense is fluid and all over the place.

I am open and everyone knows I'm trans, so i get a lot of questions. Like, why do I still do all these feminine things to my looks, and will I get plastic surgeries, what about facial hair? "Oh but you have such a pretty face I dont know if a beard will suit you...".

And honestly? I'm pissed. Because I do take a lot of these things personally. Im very fluid and hate labels both sexually and gender wise. Especially because I am autistic.

I dont want to fucking be stuck in a box again for someone's comfort. What if i wanna have a full blown mustache, but also wear "girly" makeup? What if i am comfortable with having a vagina because i dont see gender like "whats in my pants" thing? What if Im not 100% sure if i wanna cut my tits off?

These are my decisions. Period.

Fuck the "passing" culture. I love confusing everyone.

I especially love the fact that when someone new tries to speak to me and they hear my voice for the first time, they get confused and start stuttering.

Im a fucking genderless/genderful god that gets bitches regardless (Well now for almost 5 years my beautiful wife. I love you, ignore the bitches brag)

And on top of this crap Im fucking glad that i have plenty of trans friends who for the most part also dont give a single fuck about this stupid ass fucking passing shit.

By the way. This is MY EXPERIENCE. If you have a completely different one, that is totally fine and valid. I just need to get this out of my chest.
