  • Something I did wrong for many years, decades even, was to focus exclusively on trying to improve the areas where I struggle compared to normies. I always felt bad because I found it so hard to do simple things that were easy for most people.

    Gradually, I realized there are things I can do that the normies can’t. So instead of constantly trying to redeem myself by improving the things I suck at, I focus on those things I’m really good at.

    For example, if I do a job that is all delivery, where I’m just executing rote tasks that someone else has defined, I’ll struggle. If I do a job that is strategic and/or creative and involves very little rote delivery, I’ll excel.

    The problem was that school is mostly rote delivery according to a fixed schedule, and early-career jobs tend to be the same. I really struggled during those times of my life. But once I got to the point where I could get more creative/strategic work, the way my brain works finally became an asset rather than a liability.




  • I assume her point here is to stoke transphobia for clout. There are lots of phobic/ignorant parents who think queer is contagious or a conscious decision people make. They fear that exposure to queerness will make their kids queer. She’s further farming for outrage by making the restroom the boys’ room and the age (4th grade) one that is typically pre-pubescent.

    The takeaway here is this is cynical propaganda that plays on the fears of the ignorant, for no purpose other than grabbing eyeballs.
