one weird thing for me about twitter is that i can talk about my internal experience and all kinds of people will say "wow, that really resonates!" and almost invariably i find they've experienced more trauma then i realized it was possible to fit into a lifetime (i...have not)

i sort of regret using the word "trauma" so much on twitter in the past, i ran into friction as a result which i think partly came from assuming "trauma" involves really *bad* experiences. the thing i want(ed) to talk about is more about really *confusing* experiences

iirc you wrote a thread awhile back about being very confused about gender and gender roles etc. growing up and i think that definitely "counts"! it's a difficult thing to walk around constantly confused about, extremely disorienting
