In 2013 I actually did identify as bigender (stepping stone identity), I didn't have the word neurodivergent but I sure had adhd diagnosed, and like half the people I loved at the time were struggling with depression.

This just falls into the standard conservative "if it didn't happen to me or an immediate family member I cared about, then it doesn't exist" bucket. I saw a meme recently about this where it said the same thing except about your weird uncle who was super into model trains.

These are the same people who'd send family members for lobotomies or to an asylum and pretend they didn't exist, because 'they were different'.

People don’t even have to be conservative to think this way.

Very true, but let's be honest. The venn diagram is approaching a circle.

I often use a sub to identify people I should block.

But, as you just pointed out, sometimes it’s useful for finding people that I should try to understand.

Its funny to see what cultural stuff gets adopted and what doesn't. In this case, this right winger has adopted the 2015 tumblr thing of starting a dumb, condescending hot take with "y'all". Truly interesting to see what they absorbed from the "sjws" they hate so much.

I'm waiting for the release of Autism 2.0 and the new and improved gender fluid that improves performance in all situations.

I’ve been depressed since the 1980s.

It’s has been a while since I was told to “be a man.” So I guess that’s progress.

Has anyone ever told you to “be a woman“? To “vagina up“? A pussy can take quite a pounding after all…

Just brainstorming here…

I think that's considered animal abuse😿

Don't be depressed, be a man!

Stroking your beard and helicoptering your dick will put a smile on your face.

Do these people have he memories of goldfish or are they for the first time experiencing the rapidity of time? 10 years ago was the middle of the opioid epidemic. Yes people were depressed.
