As a diagnosed adhd person whos also trans (which tbh I hate admitting, usually I just pretend to be my prefered gender on the internet but its relevant here) the last part of the video hit so hard. especially the "did my autism [for me adhd] cause my transness" and the part about not being able to talk about it because you dont want to give others ammunition. anyways, even tho it might be second-hand from the book, still thanks for talking about it. imo thats a topic that really needs more discussion that doesnt immediately become fodder for anti queer groups.
