In the US? I’d say it’s pretty safe to be a little gender nonconforming unless you’re really out in the sticks. If you were properly nonbinary I would be a little more careful, but still most people will live and let live.

As a trans person, we have a lot more to fear from the federal government than from our neighbors, at least in ~80% of the country.

Judging others by your ability,is neither fair or productive, it is also a recipe for continuous disappointment.

I’m not so much judging them as bemoaning my own loneliness. To be fair, I’ve also done a good amount of judging, but that isn’t what I’m referring to here.

I’m just talking about companionship. Stimulation. Someone to play board games with, or argue about whether water is wet with.

I had a real group of peers in college. I was surrounded by people smarter than me, and it was great. I actually had to work hard to win games against them, had to actually apply myself to avoid failing my classes, and they would actually debate like they knew what they were doing. I miss it.

I find most people boring. Even people who are initially interesting can become boring once I spend a lot of time with them.

Most people also don’t seem to realize just how royally fucked we are (USA). In this case I think ignorance would be bliss, since I can’t do much to make things better.

Bad. Do not recommend.
