Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

tries to strut down hallway, immediately whacks hand on doorknob hard enough to hear

grabs hand and leans over in pain, accidently headbutting the wall

omg I feel that so much

I have:

fallen down stairs 5+ times, breaking my ankle on two such occasions
stubbed my one of my middle toes on a door frame when attempting to walk out of my bathroom, splitting a toenail
regularly run into walls, corners, and door frames
regularly stub my toes on bed frames
broken so many glasses and plates my parents thought something was wrong with me

I am usually paying attention (I think) and able to see well (I think); I suspect my proprioception is just off. When I was a kid, the ball often hit me in the face when attempting to play sports. I had a hard time coordinating my body, even when trying. There was a notable improvement when I started estrogen, I was able to navigate in the dark better than before, but I still run into objects so it could just be placebo.

I've generally heard it referred to as the "ADHD walk", myself. My hands generally take the worst of it; if anything i feel like I'm a little too spacially aware of the rest of my body

oo, that makes sense - I'm starting to suspect I might be neurodivergent, so it might turn out to be a semi-appropriate label for me 😅

The hands on the doorknob hurt so much - I can feel it just from your description, it almost makes me feel sick, lol

I'm working on getting an adult diagnosis for ADHD now haha, first major appointment is next week.

Literally just learned these two things tonight that explain so damn much

Might also look into ASD, sometimes ASD can be the underlying cause of ADHD symptoms, see:

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.837424/full

How you react to stimulants might help differentiate, people with ADHD usually respond to stimulant medication differently.

Also, there is suspected overlap in the genetic causes of ASD and gender dysphoria:

https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/104/2/390/5104458

Polymorphisms in two genes were overrepresented in transgender women by allele analysis but not by the (more stringent) genotype analysis.

...

Second, the G allele in STS is associated with reduced enzyme levels; this has been noted mostly in studies of ADHD (41), a condition with fivefold increased incidence of gender dysphoria (42), suggesting a possible overlap in etiology.

and ASD and ADHD both are associated with higher rates of gender dysphoria:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24619651/

As compared to non-referred comparisons, participants with ASD were 7.59 times more likely to express gender variance; participants with ADHD were 6.64 times more likely to express gender variance.

Either way, congrats on moving forward with diagnosis!

Thanks! And yeah, my reaction to stimulants is abnormal: energy drink = relaxed (i still like them tho), something warm like coffee puts me out like a light. Had a childhood ADHD diagnosis but any/all medical records from back then might as well not exist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

yeah, and I'm not familiar with whether the ASD matches the postural issues linked in the articles you shared - sounds more like ADHD than ASD. Interesting!

It's more ambiguous in my case, I can't tell whether I have ASD or ADHD or both, lol

ASD and ADHD both feel like a dangerous diagnosis to have on record with Mr Brainworms in play. Its fucked up that our existence can be politicized and used against us 😐

Still, its causing me a great deal more stress and depression to not deal with it. Id like to actually be able to start things in my life, and not just passively exist. Actually play my steam catalog on the pc i just built instead of just watching youtube and anime
