    For better or worse, if you weren’t fat they wouldn’t diagnose you properly either. I’ve been diagnosed with:

    •Too skinny (this is particularly funny bc the complaint was fainting and both the low weight and fainting are from hyperthyroidism as I now know)

    •Too tall

    •‘this is normal for young women’ (if it were they’d all be unable to work traditional job)

    •Psychosomatic ailment (depression on my medical record is the bane ofy existence)

    •Just unlucky

    •‘this must be an unknown symptom of your existing illness’

    •Lacking exercise (I do 2 hour long swims a week and walk 3-5k every weekday)

    •Probably lying about the amount I drink (both water and alcohol)

    Usually when an unpleasant, inconvenient, non-optional ‘feature’ like this comes out, it’s at least obvious how that’d generate the culprit company more profits. But with this one, Im genuinely befuddled as to how it benefits YouTube shareholders. Anyone have a guess?







  • I have sensory issues and don’t handle crowds or noise well, I have fun for a little bit if it’s not all too crowded, but then I crash hard while still there. After 1st of May I slept 19:00-11:00. And that’s in a country where the very worst I’ve personally witnessed police do was surround and unjustly arrest people. But if I can spare the resources, it’s totally worth it.


  • Also 172/5’8 and same, several times! Even from me who were still taller than me! Also dated someone who didn’t care and was 175/5’9 and when we went out together and my shoes made me taller than him, we’d get an average of like 10 comments, all from men, about it. Lots of friends have told me their only slightly taller ex bf wouldn’t ‘let’ them wear heels.

    Also, on a dating app, I’d get about 50/50 matches from masc and fem people when I didn’t list my height. When I did list it, I’d get mostly fem ones, and all the masc ones were tall. And fewer matches overall.
