i don't know who needs to hear this but actively spending time disecting things in your head and needing to calm your thoughts down by having to repeatedly reassure yourself is a compulsion and it is an OCD symptom, not a healthy coping mechanism or just regular anxiety

maybe a hot take but i like when people are accommodating even if they're being a little funny about it. like i'll take someone who lovingly goes "he's a lil autistic you gotta tell him stuff directly" over people who will never make a joke at my expense but play neurotypical mind games

i swear when you start "passing" some other trans people will treat you as if you emerged from the womb cisgender and dismiss all your advice as being "privileged" without accounting for all your experiences on the way
