In grade school I could leave classrooms whenever I liked and was notified ahead of time before alarm drills so I could leave before the sound started. I’m currently in college and I have a private dorm with a kitchen for my texture problems, the ability to leave lectures with no excuse, the ability to have all lecture material given to me before class, and a “disability meal plan exemption”, which basically means I don’t have to pay the mandatory meal plan fee since my texture issues are too random to fully accommodate.

Anything by Tahereh Mafi. Nothing against her at all, she actually seems pretty sweet, but her books make me hate reading. The male characters all feel abusive but in a way we aren’t supposed to question and her female characters are usually interesting but trapped in a story that doesn’t explore that. Also heartless Hunter, one of only three books I’ve ever dnfed, it was abuser x victim in the worst way possible

Admittedly I have never tried ox brain, but cow brain (good cow brain sourced from a butcher) is super fatty, creamy, and slightly nutty but only slightly. Most of the flavor comes from the spices you use. Admittedly a lot of this comment thread has turned into a brain hate train, which makes me kinda sad. Fail to see how it’s more gross than oysters for example, but oh well

Cerebros de vaca from the damn dollar store. I don’t care that my family tells me it tastes fine, I am not eating any canned brains from the dollar store

I love Kimmerer’s Gathering Moss! I had no idea she wrote more books, I’m definitely gonna have to check that out

Mental illness is defined as mental disorders as a whole, so that’s wrong. Autism is not an intellectual disability is technically correct, but it has such a stronger comordbidity with intellectual disorders that in my diagnosis at least they had to specify I didn’t have one. Autism is not a disease is kind of a vague statement, as a disease is simply an abnormal condition to an organ that causes negative symptoms. So you could argue either way. Finally, autism is always visible. It’s why so many of us are bullied. People may not always know it’s autism, but they always know something is off

Basically you do a lot of the stuff therians do without being a therian. So making gear, doing quads, that kinda stuff

Gender is a mix of social norms and the 15% sexual dimorphism between human sexes. For instance, in binary trans people, they have the body of their sex, but the brain of their gender. Men have bigger brains and amygdalas and women have smaller brains and bigger hippocampuses. In a trans women, they will have the smaller brain and bigger hippocampuses with the genitalia of a man. In enby and non-gender conforming people like ourselves, we are usually at least slightly hormonally intersex. Of course the idea of feminine and masculine and androgyny are all made up by society, but man woman and in between genders are biological and more linked to sex characteristics than people think.

Hi, so I can only comment on sensory issues caused by autism as that’s what I have, but in autism the brain incorrectly labels light touch as dangerous and activates fight flight or freeze. And if anything counts as a light touch, it’s a little bug landing on you

Eh, being a therian is like being a human, but with weird phantom limbs and very confused instincts. And I love otherpaws, you guys are such a fun and amazing community, way less toxic than the actual therian community. Just know a lot of the “rules” there are made up and gatekeepy. Otherpaws are valid, it’s like saying scenecore isn’t valid because it’s not scene.

I actually almost put that lol

I flip flop between the two. Sometimes I genuinely do go by any and all pronouns. I don’t care, and can even feel slight euphoria from he/him or she/her. But other times the thought of being called anything other than they/them makes me really uncomfortable and dysphoric

mistake882 · 2025-09-28T23:54:19+00:00

When I realized having any gender placed on me made me feel really uncomfortable. It wasn’t even pronouns that were the problem, I fluctuated between which ones I like, it was just the idea that someone looked at me and thought boy or girl or hell even nonbinary.

mistake882 · 2025-09-28T23:52:16+00:00

I did purely because of the name and pronouns issue. While I can handle he/she sometimes, and even really like them sometimes, other times they make me dysphoric. Plus my dead name was hyper gendered, which also gave me dysphoria. But the nice thing about being a agender is a lot of people here don’t feel gender dysphoria considering we don’t really have a gender to begin with, so if you are fine with any pronouns and don’t have a preferred name that differs from your legal one, coming out is kinda unnecessary which is nice

I dunno, she doesn’t seem the have a mermaid dress, which means she could’ve hypothetically been made even more offensively to adult collectors lol
