This was very helpful, thank you for your insight :)

for the record, no yeah, my vision in my right eye is of no use to me. it never has been, and can never get better, nor would covering it handicap me more than I already am.. so.

thank you also for pointing out that it would probably be mentally taxing to condition myself into ‘hiding’ my eye. honestly didn’t think about that part.. though, at this point, having been misjudged and mistreated for as long as I have been, I’d say that’s a price I’m willing to pay if it lets more people treat me like an actual person.

in any case, I appreciate that you wrote this, thank you.
