How to feel like a person?

Ok I dug around and it looks like they’re working from Alyssa Creates’ Sun and Moon granny square pattern. I found the star on Alyssa Creates’ youtube channel
just saw a post complaining about how hard it is to find adhd resources for adults and one of the comments said “tiktok has a lot of adhd tips” as if telling someone with adhd to enter the algorithmic quicksand of perpetual dopamine hits isn’t the most insane thing you could suggest for someone with adhd
This is just my 2¢ as a nonbinary person but I genuinely think that cis people's gender is just as constructed as trans people's. Cis people love to accuse us of having making up genders or artificially modifying our appearance but....the entire makeup, fashion, diet, workout, and haircare industry exists so that cis people can maintain the illusion of two entirely distinct genders with no overlap.
Everybody is constantly doing drag, all the time
Today I had to get a private patdown by two TSA agents because my incontinence pad set off their screening devices
Out trans people have talked a lot about how the screening devices stigmatize trans and intersex people, when they work by comparing the body being examined to the “normal” male or “normal” female body. But there’s also something to be said about the way that that “normal” body is presumed able bodied and neurotypical. My ear defenders have to come off before I go through. People with mobility aids and prosthetics have to either leave their aids or be subjected to a full body pat down. When they ask “do you have any metal in your body?” They are asking about medical devices; the system is designed on the assumption that people lack metal implants or bone replacements. Anything that deviates from the cisgender, not intersex, and abled norm is seen as an aberration, and our bodies are treated as a threat and as public curiosities
Ya'll be like "Shang was having a bi freak out, realizing he was into Ping". NO HE WASN'T. He already knew he was into men. His bisexual freak out was when he realized Ping was Mulan and hey maybe he's into girls too whatdoya know?
Legit you think a bi man who has always been in such a male-dominated space like the army hadn't already figured out that he liked men? Come oooonnnn... It's women he has rarely had contact with and has no idea how to talk to or flirt with (you fight good) I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
In "A Girl Worth Fighting For" Shang has zero lines I REST MY FUCKING CASE.

ppl don’t like to imagine bi ppl coming to terms with being bi after identifying as gay bc they think that’s a downgrade lol. That’s why there’s like 100000 stories about cishets realizing they were bi and like 2 of gay ppl realizing they were bi.
