Recently, I came across a piece that Julia Serano published on the topic of “male socialization” and how that is wielded as a weapon against women like me. The piece is from November of 2023.
I’ve been stressing a lot recently, and as a result, stimming quite a bit. I usually have some sort of stimming object near me. I have a stress ball on my desk, and have a tendency to just trace the outline of my phone case where it has an opening for the camera.

I am a well educated woman, a lesbian, and an eclectic Pagan. I am loving and giving. I am a caretaker type, who often fails miserably at self care. I have fibromyalgia, seizure disorder, and AFib.
I am complex, complicated, and worth the effort.
