  • I have ADHD which causes me to have sensory issues as well. When I was a child I could only eat highly processed meat. I went vegan at 17, I’m 25 now. There’s still things I literally cannot eat, i.e. oranges, even though I love orange juice, but the orange texture completely closes off my throat and causes me immense anxiety, which neurotypical people will never understand. I hope for you to be able to find another food you can deal with. I was never into meat, because the taste and unprocessed texture also cause same reaction like oranges in me, but the lingering taste also makes me want to puke, so not eating meat is very easy to me. I have similar response to other animal products, where the taste and/or texture, especially the lingering taste, cause extreme disgust in me. I cannot eat some products mimicking them because of this. What “helped me” personally was becoming so poor I was only eating pasta with tomato sauce, which I’d put through a thin-eyed sieve to make it smoother. I still sometimes get overwhelmed by textures of leafy things which cannot be properly broken apart, but that’s why I try to juggle what I eat. I cannot do meal prep where I’d eat the same thing every day, least I get sensory overload. I’m sorry for what you’re going through and for insensitive neurotypical people mocking you for what they didn’t experience and cannot muster sympathy for.



  • It’s fine to eat meat you hunted in the wild. If you have the guts to do it, go for it. It’s not fine to have animals rise in awful conditions and then have someone else commit the murder and processing of the dead body, which directly ruins their mental health. You should consider different means of killing though, as I sincerely doubt old type of weapons are good for quick dispatching of an animal, and choosing means which cause unncesessary suffering is wrong.

    I also support indigenous communities who farm animals in places they’re native to where normal farming isn’t possible, so they depend on animal protein.

    But regular humans living in convinient locations who buy meat from other people? Hell no.

    The main issue I have with this is, the amount of masculine terms used towards me exponentially rises the more feminine I am, which I believe is pre-emptive transphobia. I’m not trans myself, but it really bothers me. Especially since sometimes it’s followed by what I quoted in the post description. I’m fine with both good boy and good girl. I cringe so hard my soul leaves my body when I get called “daddy”. “My man” also feels weird and performative, even somewhat aggressive, idk how to explain that. I’m fine with “guy”, “bro” and “dude”, as these I see as neutral and a figure of speech.



  • I have multiple symptoms from birth which cause me pain, loss of some body tissues and could render me unable to walk. Doctors always ignored me. I convinced myself I communicated badly. I made extensive list of everything. Ignored again. Got a full DNA test which shows inborn issues with same symptoms. Still ignored. Still in pain. Completely hopeless. Tired. Recovering from another surgery with complications. If they addressed my issues, I don’t think I’d ever need surgeries. But I had around 10. I developed a complete disdain for medical personnel. They feel purposefully malicious in the negligence. I don’t understand it.
