"I'm not Autism Spectrum! I'm just gifted and shy and socially awkward and get really anxious sometimes and have big creative manias and infodump sometimes and get Biiiiiiiig crushes on people regardless of gender, oh, and I don't like the gender binary or social constraints and really just wanna talk about <Insert oddly specific niche interest here>"
I was playing War Thunder last night at Reserve BR as the British on a beautiful island map, swooping thru island valleys in a Biplane, thinking I really need to get @pandora_parrot to fly with me sometime in game.
My wife now wears the pants in our relationship
As in, my skinny pants from Last year are a Perfect Fit on her now.
The ironic part is that they're basically Women's Jeans, but sold as men's slim cut jeans. Just like how she usually gets men's bikini breifs because they're panties that don't just wear out in a week
Oh, Also, Otherkin folks? You guys might have two frontal lobes that talk to each other as a team but a disconnect back in the older parts of the brain.
Talk to your Kin spirit more, they might be Lonely.
Don't be surprised if it's 12 year old You behind a big scary Werewolf or something.

Hot take
Transition is a powerful personal force for good for most of my friends.
But the Active Mechanism here is Questioning, self-discovery, openness to new ideas and a Rite of Passage given by a community based around Shared Suffering, with a chemical Sacrament.
Anyone can do this, but it's Hard. And Cispeople have been Handed their paradigm by Industries with a Vested Interest in uniform consumers.
Like "Here, just wear this AXE bodyspray and this Expensive Shirt, and you'll never have to become a better person or stop your problematic behaviors!"
That's what we're Really complaining about with Cis, straight people. It's not about their Gender, or Sexuality.
It's because they're Boring, Insecure, and they're wondering why They don't have a big supportive community with it's own culture. They're Normies, Yuppies, Bootlickers to the Corporate Machine.
And they're saying "Hey, if Your thing is so Awesome, that makes My thing LESS awesome!" And it isn't true. Their thing has been Mediocre Forever. It's always been culturally bankrupt.
We all decided we needed to change to be our Best Self. A lot of little changes happen along the way. Normies get told they already Are their best self, just keep buying Products to be Sexy and Desirable.
