I can’t believe I actually said “even the kids without adhd are weird” to my friend’s face

Like it’s not a big deal (I don’t think) and wasn’t (I don’t think) but honestly… what the fuck

Actually nevermind it wasn’t because part of that conversation was that a lot of people with ADHD (…there has to be a less clunky way to refer to people diagnosed with ADHD) are weird and she said they were weird herself.

Because I was talking about how it pissed me off that people walked around like ADHD was some badge of honor or some shit idk and the people I was referring to were “pop culture weird” which is a social group I fucking despise.

I cannot believe people will insist that genitals = gender while still being so quick to assign genders to things including but not limited to robots, candy, umbrellas and geological features. Why are you more willing to call an M&M female than you are a trans woman?

Personification.

Really? You’re gonna just sit there and miss the point that hard?

What is the point, then?

The point isn’t the assignment of gender to objects, though that is ridiculous. The point is that people do that while at the same time ignoring real peoples’ genders. I thought that was fairly straightforward.

I was answering the question that they asked. “Why are you more willing to call an M&M female than you are a trans woman?”.
I’m not saying that it’s okay, but that’s why. It’s more natural for humans to do that to understand the world. Again, it’s not okay, but that’s why.

Really? Not one single person that read this post didn’t understand personification. That, again, was not the point. The point, again, is the disrespect towards trans people, specifically trans women, that places their actual gender lower than the perceived gender of objects. We know why. We know it’s not okay.

Oh god.
I understand that. I understand that it’s not okay. I don’t really understand where you got the idea that I didn’t understand the disrespect of trans people. It’s not okay at all.
And anyway, point or not, I can still answer the question as if I didn’t get the point.
