    You're so real for this, even if it is an autism thing idgaf. Also yeah, way I see it you can only read "girl" as a way address someone A) in the camp gay way B) patronisingly. Idk I think I kinda hate it too? Although I have heard cis women address eachother as GIRRRRRL often.

    I haven't decided where my own boundaries are on this stuff so it's odd but I dislike this also =)

      I also note that cis women don’t use it in the same way? At least not above a certain age/maturity. Not at all implying that we need to base what we do off what the cis do. Just find these differences in language interesting and digging into why they make me so uncomfortable.

        This is autism so Idk necessarily but when my mother used to take me to get my hair done and stuff, (before she kicked me out lmao) I would actually hear mid-40s cis women talk to eachother that way in casual conversation, as a sort of YASS QUEEN SLAY -ism which was bizarre. Maybe it's kind of a "winemom" thing? Idk cis women are so damn weird and I cannot comprehend their social movements generally.

        It is a good thing to dig in and find out why stuff is a certain way =)

            Yeah she was cool until her fucking boyfriend or w/e wasn't =) Thank u for saying about this though, I felt like I was watching a weird secret ritual every time I watched the cis™ interact lol. Whole thing is super weird, I think even if "girl" didn't have a weird infantilising tone associated I probably still wouldn't be into it.
