I am very awestruck by a lot of the people here but I want to get to know everyone better, so the first step is an introduction! Uh. You can call me Jay. I'm 25 years old and a law student. You might have seen me on tumblr as lawpixels or 2x2verse. adigitalmagician pointed me here and I'm glad to have found this forum. What else... afab agender (ey/em), dysphoria comes and goes. Major depressive disorder, recurrent, severe, with psychotic features; generalized anxiety disorder; agoraphobia (past); borderline personality disorder; talked about obsessive compulsive personality disorder with the psych, works as a concept, but not so sure about it. Basically a lot of brainweird. In a poly relationship right now but don't identify as poly. I'm not sure how that works either. Romantically and sexually... inclined, I guess; pansexual would probably be the best term. But enough about me, how are you?
Oh hey, I think I've seen some of your law posts while skulking around tumblr anonymously. You seem p cool. Also, if you do not get a pixel-art avatar, I will be Very Disappointed. :C
Hiya, Pixels. You're definitely one of my favorite random tumblrites. I dunno where I should point you for interesting stuff. General Tumblr bitching has Tumblr.txt in forum drama, I started a spellcraft thread if you're into that, I have my life as an otherkin thread, as well. And we have the XX/XY forum for general trans stuff.
Heya, welcome aboard! I'm just going to assume you are also autistic and an abuse survivor, because everyone I know seems to be an autistic trans abuse survivor and I am too lazy to remember details.
Seebs almost has me convinced I'm autistic. Once I have a psych, I'll confirm or deny for real. (the other two are true.)
It's even worse in MMOs. "Hey, Jesse. I logged into an MMO, and I met someone in chat." "They're autistic and trans?" "Yes."
I have two friends. One is a trans guy who is into Homestuck, does cosplay, likes Steven Universe, and wears glasses, and who, by the way, is named Jake. The other is a trans guy who is into Homestuck, does cosplay, likes Steven Universe, and wears glasses, and who, by the way, is named Jake.
Well, I can't top BPD anon, but when I worked at the zoo, we had so many Emilies in the teen program I was in that one of them started going by Emily 6. And then the next year we got two more Emilies. With the same first two letters of their last names.
i have a brother named stuart, an uncle named stuart, a mom named caroline, a grandmother named carolyn, and an aunt named carol, when it comes to name duplication, haha.
I'm not an abuse survivor. I don't think? I don't classify myself as that, anyway. And, uh. Part of the reason I'm here is to talk about my brainweird and maybe see if any of it is autism related? There's at least some evidence for it, to the point where my parents were concerned when I was a toddler. I see my... reputation??? has preceded me????? I did not know I had a reputation wow okay hi. It's nice to get to know everyone! As another random fact about me, brought up while I was reading the tumblr.txt thread, I was an unwilling EDIT: fictive. FICTIVE for like four months. Might should do an AMA about it if anyone's interested.
I think technically "autistic-and-trans" is allowed, and the abuse survivor thing is just bad luck on my end.
Contracts I. Unequivocally. It scared the shit out of me, so I studied like hell, and I have the grade to prove it. Plus our professor was a hippie who wore his hair like Einstein, wore the same acid-washed jeans every day with a different band or "hike Nepal" t-shirt, and had memorized the Uniform Commercial Code.
So the semester swallowed my ability to do much on here. But HI! Welcome aboard! I need your help beating sense into my brain because its trying to convince me that a JD in social issues would be a good idea after tenure.
ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US. My exams are swallowing me whole. I'm not sure I remember how to words.
At one summer camp I went to, one of my bunkmates was named Ben. Another of my bunkmates was also named Ben. Our counselor was named Ben. The first bunkmate, when he was in the youngest group at camp, was paired with a camper from the oldest group named Ben. And once we became the oldest group? His buddy from the youngest group was named Ben. So... much.... Ben...
I once shared a camp with a girl who not only shared my first name, but the format of our last names (we're both Van Somethings). There was a third girl with the first name in another camp group too.
