you got this tho! if you feel like it is necessary to get better accommodations in society then i’d say go for it. esp bc ik it can just help overall to just put an official label to the way you are personally experiencing and navigating life. im going thru the same process rn and i have put it off since i thought maybe my special classes as a kid might’ve helped some. but genuinely it is so useful for ppl to get it! adulthood will only get more difficult as dark as that sounds. you should be

Thinking about it I wonder if it’s why I don’t care a lot about physical appearance outside of looking presentable. I get tattoos and shit I want, not caring about anything else because I see my physical body as just not something to worry about? It’s basically customizing a game avatar.
