shout-out to my dance partner for going out of her way to help me not feel dehumanized and uncomfortable while practicing the dance for the prom this person who I hadn't ever interacted with or even really met beforehand is trying so hard to understand how challenging this is ,all related to being autistic,trans and autistic and trans and I know it's
she's just so,so patient and even reminds me of the steps with a really calm tone she shows no signs of distress when I get it wrong she noticed the music was too loud for me and asked if I was okay and when I came out to her as trans,she definitely proved she's a safe person to be around in that way too
