Now that it seems decided that the word âweirdâ should be used in a derogatory way against sociopathic narcissists in politics, I have to be careful about how i use this word.
In the recent years, I usually used it to describe someone or something that was different in an interesting and charming way. I am neurodivergent in a way that is easily hidden (not that I make coucious efforts to hide it), I would often describe myself as just âslightly weirdâ. I no longer want to use this word to describe myself anymore because of the above mentioned reasons.
In old literature, Iâve seen the word queer used as such, but today it doesnât really carry that meaning anymore. Although I wouldnât really mind if it confused people about my gender, I donât really worry about that. đ
Any other suggestions ro help describe myself that wouldnât put the focus of the discussion on neurotypes?
