Getting my ADHD medicated was a life-changer for me. I hope it's the same for you! 💕

ADHD is honestly both a hindrance and a super power. I’m recognizing that I have it BAD and, while I’m high functioning, I’m a bit TOO high functioning. Full speed but, when you’re going that fast, it’s hard to steer. Able to focus on a billion things but hard to lock in. And it’s exhausting.

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

Nothing as feminist as basing whether women can use the toilets on if they're hot or not.
The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.
This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.
Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.
Get fucked.

Part three of this series by @garius.bsky.social is just as gripping as the first 2. I've spoilt myself by reading ahead on Wikipedia, but it's so well written and presented here.
