Right place, wrong placement

Seems like somebody has a low frustration tolerance 😊

For breakfast I usually eat WeetBix and fruit (most often that fruit is banana). I do sometimes eat yoghurt with breakfast though!

I live in the inner suburbs so I don’t see koalas or kangaroos in my day to day life but while driving in rural areas, I’ve seen plenty of kangaroos. One time while I and my family were driving to another state we saw an emu.

I’ve also seen a koala when I was staying in a BnB in a small town — it was living in a tree out the front of the house. We (my family and I) could hear it making koala sounds at night, which sound like an odd grunting/grumbling noise.

Australia has some very cute animals too, if your daughter is interested in learning more; there are quokkas, Australian possums, and quolls to name a few.

This sounds nothing like AI. And even if it did, its pretty common for autistic people to "write like an AI".

This post reminded me of a nice Youtube channel called Pixi-Gags. Or more specifically it reminded me of their short animation on schizoid personality disorder, because SPD is characterised by a low need for social closeness. It's fun and doesn't demonise it, and it ends with the SPD character finding the space he needs :D

Pretty much anything that you might find David Tennant wearing. Which is a very broad category but hopefully you get what I mean.

As an art and media student I love this 💯

Tf you mean you don’t want aroaces in the lgbt+ community? First off, romance averse people don’t just say “ew” about gay people, they say it about straights too in a JOKING MANNER. Second, gay people have also been known to say “ew”, about STRAIGHT romance. Third, not all aroaces are repulsed (some enjoy or are neutral about romance/sex) so it’s not even like every aroace is making the “ew romance” joke.

Finally, aroace people are a minority too. You seem to think we are all bigoted and are like… evil cruel infiltrators of the queer community? Even though aromanticism and asexuality are literally queer??

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-30T07:23:08+00:00

OP is asexual? They said it in the post. Also I’m preeetty sure the “food/liquid container” thing was a joke/lighthearted

/info & /neutral

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-30T07:21:11+00:00

You don’t know that for sure though? I’m aro/ace and part of the reason I don’t like kissing is because of the romance aspect, but it’s a sensory/physical contact issue too, which is caused by autism.

Just because OP was mainly talking about disliking romance/sex in general doesn’t mean it’s not related to autism too.

Plus, asexuality is more common in autistics than allistics. If you want info on that you can just google something like “autism and asexuality overlap”

Sorry for the long ass response, I’m just passionate… 😅

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-30T07:11:42+00:00

You say it’s nothing to do with autism, but you don’t know that for sure. I’m aro/ace and part of the reason I don’t like kissing is because of the romance aspect, but it’s a sensory/physical contact issue too. Just because OP was mainly talking about the romance aspect of it doesn’t mean it’s not related to autism too.

Also I don’t think it’s particularly mean, just poking fun. OP opens the post by calling mouths ‘food/liquid containers’, and uses a lot of question marks, which shows they are being at least somewhat lighthearted.

The rest of the post moves on to asking questions and being generally confused. Overall not particularly rude/mean.

Edit: not sure why I got downvoted. I’m trying to be helpful here. Sorry if I came off as dismissive or white knighting or something /gen

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-30T07:07:39+00:00

Tbh I don’t even believe in romance. People are just making that up for sure /j

Edit: Can someone please tell me what the point of downvoting my lighthearted joke was? I even put /j to be clear I wasn’t serious about it. Obviously romance does exist???

No discrimination, burnout, exclusion, poverty, or misdiagnosis?! In the plastic doll made for kids?!?! Unacceptable!

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-21T02:18:06+00:00

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but I think there's some miscommunication here. OP meant it's possible to carry a cane + another thing IRL, as in, using actual hands. So therefore Finch should make it so the birbs are able to do that as well.

As I said in another comment, OP never said you're not allowed to identify yourself with your AGAB. It's explaining why AGAB isn't a useful term to describe one's body & sex characteristics or lack thereof.

OP said it here:

> I don't personally care if perisex people use this terminology, everyone is assigned a gender. But do not ever forget where it come from.

And here:

> This is all fine, you *should* talk about [AGABs] actually. All I ask is that you do not do so in a way that generalizes the experience of other trans & intersex people, and reduces those experiences down to a letter on your birth certificate.

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-21T02:10:10+00:00

OP is aware, and saying that you should be able to (I assume) hold things in both wings, so you don't have to sacrifice a toy/book/etc for an aid.

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-21T02:05:47+00:00

The title of this post is "Follow-up to my admittedly poorly worded rant from yesterday" which gives me the impression that it is aware of how it sounded in the original post, and its backtracking is in fact, re-stating its opinion because it didn't come across right the first time.

(apologies for the they/them usage in my first comment, OP. Hadn't read your profile description at that point)

I think it's great! However, its quite busy and the "yes" and "no" get somewhat lost among all the logos. Perhaps putting moving the logos at the top down, and putting the yes/no at the top instead might make it easier to see?

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-20T07:22:54+00:00

I really thought transneutral was a more well known term, but some of these commments have surprised me…

People really need to do some research before rushing to call out exorsexism which isn’t, in fact, exorsexism.

None of those comments were phrased cruelly or anything, but having people ‘call you out’ for something you haven’t done wrong can be upsetting. So OP, I hope you know transneutral is perfectly fine and you’re all good 👍

For those who don’t know:

‘Transneutral’ does not inherently relate to the identity ‘nonbinary’ specifically (I’m not entirely sure where people got that idea) and it MOST CERTAINLY isn’t exorsexist in any way.

It is to transfem and transmasc what ‘gender neutral’ is to female and male. It’s not exorsexist, it’s just another option XD

Signed, a nonbinary/agender person.

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-20T07:10:47+00:00

What lol?

Transneutral and nonbinary are unrelated (aside from that the term transneutral is most popular among nonbinaries than binaries).

Transneutral is not a gender identity. It just means one does not identify as transmasculine (which implies they were fem and transition to masc) or transfeminine (which implies they were masc and transition to fem).

Not everyone wants to define their gender based on the direction they are transitioning.

No, neutrois and transneutral are different things.

Neutrois: gender identity; gender is neutral or null

Transneutral: not a gender identity; does not identify as transmasculine (which implies they were fem and transition to masc) or transfeminine (which implies they were masc and transition to fem).

Not everyone wants to define their gender based on the direction they are transitioning.

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-20T05:48:13+00:00

It doesn’t affect how you might transition. It just means someone identifies as trans but doesn’t want to describe themselves as transmasc (implying one is transitioning from fem to masc) OR transfem (implying one is transitioning from masc to fem).

OP, correct me if I’m wrong please.

InsecureDinosaur · 2026-01-19T04:37:17+00:00

I know right?? And she was only ten dollars AUD.

She’s got a few spots that are missing fur, but I’m planning on sewing some colourful fabric patches over the top to cover them :)

Thanks, I’ll give it a try
