I want everyone who interviews or has on-record discussions with TERFs and anti-trans personalities to study this thread.

Kink Just Makes sense for ADHD
5 WAYS Kink Supports Neurodivergent Mental Health

Novelty and Stimulation
Individuals with ADHD often seek new and stimulating experiences. Kink can provide a structured way to fulfill that need for novelty and engagement within safe and consensual boundaries.

Sensory Exploration
 Many neurodivergent individuals experience unique sensory preferences. BDSM can offer controlled environments where specific sensations (such as pressure or touch) are explored safely.

Clear Structures and Protocols:
 Kink communities often rely on clear rules, safety protocols, and explicit communication. This structure can be beneficial for people with ADHD or Autism, who may find well-defined guidelines reassuring.

Role-Play vs. Social Masking:
  Individuals on the Autism spectrum often engage in 'masking' in social situations. In kink role-play, however, the expectations are openly discussed, which can reduce social pressure and ambiguity.

Hyperfocus Advantages:
 People with ADHD can experience intense periods of focus (hyperfocus). During a kink scene, this state of concentration can enhance both the emotional and physical aspects of the experience.

I've been looking at the concept of Relationship Anarchy (RA) to see if it fits my recent thoughts and feelings about relationships, friendship, intimacy, etc.
It seems like a really good fit for me.

Screenshot of the following text:

God, I can't tell you how much the "there's not enough enrichment in my enclosure" joke has helped my mental health. Because, for some reason I can't comprehend, pretending that I'm a zoo keeper caring for an animal (which is also me) just makes everything easier to comprehend. Like "Your head gets screwey when you're apartment is messy" just doesn't carry as much resonance as "The tiger becomes agitated when its enclosure is cluttered" because then I'll be like, no shit? The tiger? I've gotta keep things nice and clean for the tiger.

I feel similarly :) I saw this tiger enclosure analogy once and that's helped too.

We all want the same things. 
Physical Safety.
Financial Security. 
Love.
Happiness.
Some of us just want it for other people too...

Gatekeeping does NOT benefit detrans people.

"Our paper on gatekeeping and detransition is now out! Iโ€™m immensely hyped for this paper, written in collaboration with wondrous scholars and including co-authors who have lived experience with detransition."

a screenshot of a chat interaction in which the user asks for an illustration of an american. the ai generates an image of a young white man in casual clothes standing in front of a stylized american flag and a map of the u.s. the user questions how this is diverse and inclusive. the ai responds, acknowledging the lack of specificity in the prompt and suggesting ways to better reflect diversity, such as including people of different ethnicities, ages, and abilities.

17-Year-Old Transgender Boy Wins Texas Girls' Wrestling Championship Mack Beggs is prohibited from competing against boys, under Texas rules. His controversial win comes soon after President Trump rescinded Obama administration guidelines on transgender students.

Fun fact: anti-trans sports rules in Texas created the exact problem conservatives claimed to want to prevent.

I was worried that I'm following so many public figures in Bluesky that it would drown out my friends' posts. Good news: There's a "Mutuals" feed that only shows me posts from people who also follow me (i.e. friends). Not only that, but now it's my default feed when I open the app!

Some of them pay for access to data sets collected by third parties, but those data sets are themselves generally collected from the internet without permission (as far as I'm aware). (2/2)

Yep, agreed. That's the main reason I'm avoiding generative AI in general. I've yet to see any of them claim that they're not trained on data used without permission. (1/2)
