The queer youth today are being FED
I have a younger sister who recently came out as a lesbian (to nobody's surprise) and even though the world is still sorely lacking of lesbian content, queer content has gotten a massive boost these past 5 years.
When I was young and looking for queer rep I'd find it in the weirdest places. We obviously have fandoms, and fanfic and queerbaiting, but also the amount of movies I watched just for a single queer scene? I remember watching an adam sandler film about him having a billion kids solely because one of those kinds was matthew daddario playing a queer guy. Also watching teenwolf for the one very stereotypical gay side character. There were several others aswell, but I can't remember them at the moment
I remember the feeling of reading percy jackson and finding out Nico was gay, of reading the mortal instruments and finding out Alec was gay, I was so starved for any sort of representation that I held on to my small crumbs for dear life.
(Shoutout to the 100 for being one of very few, if any, tv shows with very natural queer rep and not a single hint of homophobia in show.)
My sister now has heartstopper, young royals, warrior nun, good omens, interview with the vampire (tho she's still a bit young for that one) and she has video game characters!!! She has ellie and dina, she has pretty much everyone in the life is strange games, and she even has aloy. I remember playing life is strange with my ex (the main game) and even though it has very queer undertones etc, it isn't very explicita, tbf it's a while since I played it so I might be wrong about that
My point is, we still have a very long way to go when it comes to queer rep in media, but goddamn it IS getting better.

It's like "damn its kinda cold out" cold if its less than 0°C, but for it to be like "shit its cold!" Its gotta be like -10°C
I live in norway

I'm so curious as to when my mom figured out I was queer, cause I'm fairly certain she knew before I did. Let me elaborate
I never directly came out to my parents. I simply told my mom who I had a crush on when I was about 13. I'd realised I was gay a bit before getting the crush, but it was quite close in time. However, like a year before I came out (did not even know I was gay at the time) my mom made a comment about how she had a pretty good gaydar when it came to queer women, because she used to play soccer as a kid, and most of the players on that team, were lesbians. I also feel like there have been a lot of hints to her having a hunch throughout my childhood.
The most obvious moment was once when I was like, 11 maybe? and my family and I were having dinner. And my mom said something along the lines of "when you all grow up and get husbands" paused, looked directly at me, and said "or a wives" It is possible that I'm remembering this moment incorrectly, but holy shit, if it actually happened the way I remember? that shit's just crazy.
Me finding out I was a lesbian was also a bit of an ah-ha moment for me. Cause I went 1st through 7th grade just thinking "I don't have any crushes on any of the boys because all the boys at my school are morons." Then I changed schools, and met a whole bunch of new boys, but I still didn't have any sort of romantic interest in them, so then the natural conclusion was "oooh, maybe I'M the problem, not the boys." Which turned out to be 100% correct.
So I'm thinking it is possible my mom, being an adult and everything, picked up on this way before I realized myself.

Oh I know we’ll meet again some sunny day…

Cas has Dean’s head tucked into his chest, his face resting on Dean’s hair giving him a kiss. Dean has one arm around Cas’s waist and the other resting on the back of his neck, a smile on his face and tear on his cheek. A sunset lights them from behind. End ID]
Tourettes syndrome makes you neurodivergent
And not a lot of people know this, but sensory issues, extreme emotions, rage outbursts, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, a different way of thinking than "normal" people, and a BUNCH of other shit, are all common and unsurprising additional challenges with tourettes syndrome
It has a lot of overlap with autism and adhd, not necessarily enough for a diagnosis, but enough to make day to day life more challenging.
i think when some of you say "neurodivergent" you just mean adhd and autism
I made a deanmon gif :)
