We talk a lot about how neurodivergence makes you more susceptible to abuse, but on my list of topics to discuss here is: some of the ways that having a "weird" brain has saved me from serious toxicity multiple times—simply because people couldn't manipulate me with subtext I didn't catch 😂

I get why the "women in male-dominated fields" trend is funny, but I can't even play role-reveral games with men as a joke, because I've long since blocked any guy who has tried to play me.

I've had nothing but positive romantic relationships with men (more on how, later), and they have taught me that men who like me will read the paragraphs and take me seriously and treat me nicely. So, I block the ones who don't. If he's confusing me, I block him, because I'm too clear a communicator for games. What more is there to talk about?
