This basically, as in my case, my sensory issues make it hard to do many fairly basic things, and causes lots of discomfort that otherwise wouldn't bother me if not for the sensitivity.

"Fixing" is very different from "reducing the issues for the person with the sensitivity, making life relatively easier to handle".

Wait a minute, something feels off...

Yeah, that pretty much sums up how it should be, and it would be great if more people understood that point. That you don't have to like or enjoy what someone else does, yet you can still have acceptance for them enjoying what safely makes them happier, rather than rejecting things for being different than what's perceived as "normal".

I'm honestly surprised I've not seen anyone make that connection for a joke, thanks dyslexia, it's pretty funny.

Totally not completely cursed, and those example sentences absolutely didn't make me regret being literate.

Ah yes, even in the dark future, furries are making super advanced and useful technologies to be more furry.

As an Asexual, can confirm, they're just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in "LGBTQIA+" that generally refers to multiple things under the "A".

In the latter case, it's left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.

As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it's harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else", but I'm not exactly great at fancy words... or words in general... but I try my best.

I only recently managed to convince the more reasonable and less religious of my two parents that it's pretty likely I have Autism and ADHD, given the extensive amount of signs of it throughout my life.

Though the rest of "me" I've had to keep hidden unless I want the more religious and less reasonable one of them to have a field day due to their regressive beliefs. Because, you know, being a Autistic ADHD Asexual Aromantic sort-of-gender Apathetic Furry, (I'm probably missing something here) or AAAA as I sometimes comedically shorten it to, doesn't exactly line up with their ideals about many things.

Also, thought I'd comment from here for this, but I've surprisingly adjusted pretty well despite all that I've been through. My main struggle recently has been dealing with stress from it, and the Autism and ADHD not making that any easier on me.

But overall, I'm proud of myself, I've continued going through something as horrible as all this and still keep bettering myself despite it all.

The term "boy's club" here is really not generalizing "men" or "boys" as a whole, but rather it's by its usage criticizing the specific group mentality it describes, that of a group of "boys" who treat women with less respect than each other, or otherwise exclude said women, as in at least some cultures is common from some generally younger "boys" who haven't really matured past a mentality usually developed from a young age, because they lack the experience to know it's wrong.

And both of you are very much valid, as well as anyone should be. Differences of sexuality makes no person lesser for them. So what if someone is attracted or not attracted to any specific thing? We're all people nonetheless.

Yeah, pretty much same here, except I'm Asexual and seemingly Aromantic, and yet still get stupidly attached to people I'm close to anyway, just not romantically, and it's not really focused on any one person in particular, and it's incredibly confusing to figure out what it means at times.

Also, apologies for the long flowing sentences, it's the other two "A"s kicking in, Autism and ADHD, but stringing together sentences is much closer to how I talk with conversations and stuff, as opposed to the usual stop and go of putting periods in places, because who needs stopping to take a breath when there's still more of a train of thought to continue...

..I got side tracked by being reminded of something again and the explanation was longer than the original comment, seems about the usual for me.
