ambly

just a regular bird person.

living on unceded Wangal land.

I am an ~ultra rare~ combination of being a non-binary person with autism and adhd.

I know we're not supposed to prioritise productivity, but I love to keep myself busy by making things - often elaborate outfits!

@npub1qqm…mzjy I only have five options for the sex (which is also used to denote 'gender') field:
Female, Male, Unspecified, Indeterminate, Intersex.
I don't see myself as Male, Female or Intersex.
I'm agender non-binary so I have a strong tendency for anything that means 'no' or 'not disclosed' or 'does anyone else think it's weird that I have to fill in this box?' So 'Unspecified' seems to fit this okay. It's more of a social response, thinking about the question in terms of gender.
I had never really thought about 'Indeterminate' before, seeing it as more of a biological marker rather than a social one. But I kinda realised that by taking HRT and "hacking my endochrine system", I no longer fit neatly(ish) into one of the binary sex options. And that's kinda punk?
'Indeterminate' is kinda like saying, "Your categorisation systems can't hold me!"
It's no longer an obvious choice and now I have to actually make a decision in ... about 40 hours.

I met five (5) new people on Tuesday night and I a) paid attention to their names as they introduced themselves and b) remembered them.
Usually names just 'don't go in' and I have to ask a few minutes later and really concentrate, and even then it's very hard to make sure it 'stays there'.
I know my short-term memory has improved immensely this year on medication, but I was so surprised at how automatic and easily this just happened with no conscious effort. I guess I just haven't yet had the opportunity to put the name thing to such a thorough test so the change wasn't so obvious until now.
Of course, it's also possible the fact they were all fellow queers influenced me actually paying more attention than usual.
