polyamory, socialization "polyamory. is. not. just. about. sex."

lgbt, society "the vast majority of straight people knew they were straight while they were still kids, virgins, and before they'd ever been in a relationship so no you dont have to [have] any type of experience/reach a specific age before you get to claim your identity. dont let anyone tell you otherwise."

consent, children, socialization "teach kids about consent for life, not just for sex"

adhd, medication, socialization "real talk just because i have adhd doesn't mean that my feelings are not valid"

self compassion, productivity, guilt "listen up you can relax you dont need to be productive every moment"

chronic illness, self compassion "internalized ableism bingo" #hard_to_transcribe

autism, neurodivergency "what people think the autism spectrum looks like:" #hard_to_transcribe
