Cosplayer and dabbling fantasy writer. Will put something more interesting here at a later date.

Freakin' heck.

--When you should be sleeping.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

Sometimes anxiety looks like applying to a dozen jobs an hour away because you've gotten radio silence on welder ads within 30mi of you

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

Oh right I'm supposed to use this. Uhh... I got my hair bleached today?

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

Internet hivemind (Yes, all twenty of you), is there a gender-neutral equivalent term for aunt/uncle?

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

Big mood: having my semi-annual anxiety dream about still being in high school.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

@RomanOnARiver I know full well what it is. But hey, it's okay because I'm apparently a cryptid.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I know I'm just one person, but that's still one more person telling you that you matter and you are loved. I'm proud of who you are.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

So... Where do I stand during pride month? I guess I stand supporting my tiny sphere of supposedly garishly wrong-for-living friends.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel when I've been told on all sides that I'm wrong about myself and don't belong anywhere.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I don't have personal experience re: gender neutral because until now only four people knew. Whelp. Guess that's out of the bag.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

So that's always nice when they suggest getting raped would be beneficial to my worldview.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I have been told on multiple occasions (both sides) to literally get f*cked so I can actually have a valid opinion on not wanting sex.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

That's three counts that in the LGBTA Community's eyes I'm either invisible, don't count, or am flat-out wrong about how I perceive myself.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

And... yeah, f*ck it. I've gone this far; I'm gender-neutral (they). I'm asexual, maybe aro? Still figuring that one out. Still.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I've had friends harassed and told they aren't welcome or don't count for being not (binarily trans? unsure how to word that.)

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

Asexuals and any other A-orientations don't count. Even though people still add the [A] in most of the time.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I see praise and talk of acceptance all the time but then there's... I dunno if gatekeeping is the right word?

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

I kind of want to explain why I don't Pride.
I'm not straight or cis but I don't feel welcome under the LGBTA/MOGAI community. Never have.

[Concerned Maer @MaxTheConfused]

Which is fair, because my job barely pays for 50% of my effort, let alone all of it.
