Having the realisation that I maybe actually just don’t want to eat around my relatives anymore. There’s probably too much lingering there from having been a “slow and picky” eater as a child. It’s not actively distressing to me when I’m there, but… I do come away with zero fuckin spoons every time. I dunno.

I find I want a lot of space from my family actually. I do not hate them but even this amount of remove, living in my own place with my partner, away from them, isn’t really enough I guess. If they didn’t treat me exactly like when I was 15, maybe I’d be more normal about it…

The tongue-in-cheek-evopsych thing is throwing me for a loop, which is for sure down to my being autistic but I’m sorry I reacted in a way that made you feel bad.

“hey queer/not-cis ppl have existed throughout human history across a ton of recorded cultures and presumably through pre-history of hominids, and like, we’re still here?” So we must serve some kinda evolutionary advantage as a social species, and I think I kinda went off the deep end extrapolating that uh, reproductively a bit

So like a biological justification thing, okay. I mean I guess, does every behaviour and thing about a species serve and evolutionary purpose? Is that a Darwinian thing? Doesn’t help that “reproductive” matters are maximum squick for me, so my thought capacity is low. I do remember things along this line from the image board though, it felt like “appealing to science” or whatever for a grounded, INDISPUTABLE reason (of science) for our existence would put us on equal validity footing with cis people. Bonus points if you have dysphoria around like, conception, pregnancy, reproduction generally.

"um actually non-cis ppl are the most attractive

Yes, they are, I would not date a cis person and they are useless to me romantically. End of story What about that huh, what then? I am trans because that is how I am and it’s rad, I am t4t because cisgender people are A) cowards and B) less cool, and it’s rad. It’s evolutionarily advantageous because I’m not cis, which would be the real cringe.

If you’re wasted that does make sense, but otherwise it’s fine, y’know. You didn’t have to explain yourself to me although I do appreciate the insight. You are not being cringe and I’m sorry I made you feel like you are. I’m not trying to socially ostracise you over your hangups…
