Bilateral Gynandromorph

Organisms that have a mix of male and female characteristics on each side of their body. They occur in certain insects, birds, and crustaceans due to a genetic anomaly during early development. In perfect bilateral gynandromorphism, the creature's body is divided in a line down the center. One side is male and the other side is female. However, such conditions are exceedingly rare.

There was this one Tumblr post I read a while ago that was talking about how, when you grow up as a neurodivergent person (autism/ADHD/etc), you constantly face rejection and get called "weird" or whatever for showing authentic parts of yourself. And eventually you just stop showing those parts of yourself around most people and learn how to mask so you can pass as neurotypical.

I feel this so hard. For so much of my childhood I was the "weird girl" who faced reprimand and criticism from both my peers and the adults in my life for being "too much." I distinctly remember one time, when I was like 11 or something, I made an off-color joke and one of my friends said I had a "sick mind" (which was actually super extra looking back on it because it really wasn't edgy or anything??? But I also went to Catholic school sooooo). And eventually I just did my best to fit in or pass beneath notice.

I've just been thinking so much lately about how hostile society is to neurodivergent people in so many different ways and it's so disgusting.
