So, I have autism and also very bad social anxiety, so I don't have a massive amount of social interactions, so it is easy for me to remember pretty much all of them. This also means that I spend way too much time obsessing over any significant interactions I have, particularly negative ones, which then just make me feel more upset and anxious than I was at the time and sometimes leads to a breakdown. I am also completely unable to deal with conflict

For whatever reason this website, unlike the original subreddit is way more invested in dunking on each other imo. This site has a very hostile atmosphere where it feels like everyone is constantly at each others throats and it makes me just not want to come here at all.

I also want to take exception to some of the recent posts by @TransComrade69 about the Beyond Pink or Blue book, particularly the part in the original post about it only being like 170 pages, so you could read it in like 3 days, so if you don't, it is reactionary. No, one of the symptoms of autism is executive function issues, which I suffer from quite significantly. I could read that book, but it would require me using a lot of energy and necessetitate me neglecting other parts of my life. I struggle hard enough to read books necessary for classes, if I were to try and read that book, it would take months, if not over a year for me to complete it. So, while I understand why @TransComrade69 wants people to read the book and is pushing it, as I am sure there is lots of valuable information within it, I do not at all appreciate the tone that was taken in parts of the original post.

Anyway, I've deleted this account twice already, and I'm doing it for the 3rd and probably final time after this. Social media in general is bad for a lot of these things, but this site kind of takes it to another level.

    I'm not shitting on you for not reading the book I'm shitting on you for using transphobic and sexist biotruther arguments and then not doing any self-reflection when you're called out for it. Instead you resort to calling me a bully for daring to question your opinion. This whole thing stinks of bad faith.

          Point me to that, because I have not seen it. I have only seen you instantly calling me a terf or a transphobe with no further explanation. In the original thread it seemed like you didn't think that greater muscle mass and endurance was an advantage in cycling? That's the closest I've seen to an explanation, however it was nonsensical

          EDIT: Also, you said you were not calling me out for not reading the book, but how else am I supposed to take this part

          You were being terfy as fuck to me, deleted all your history and and now you’re here calling out transcomrade69.

            Yeah, you're being disingenuous as fuck now. I'm not even going to bother when I've already explained myself over and over. You're just talking in circles so it's pretty clear you're not here in good faith and there's no point to this.

                  Please just stop replying to me. You are going to push me towards another meltdown. You represent all of my issues with this site. See how you have at every step of the way assumed I am speaking in bad faith and refused to engage and continuously just kept dunking and insulting despite being asked go stop. I have attempted to have a discussion with you, but you have refused to take anything on board, so please just stop completely
