Mens Cat Dad Shirt
Ugly, fat, and disabled here! All I’ve ever wanted in my entire life is for people to be able to look at me without making assumptions. It’ll never, ever happen. People are always going to look at me and assume I’m lazy, unhealthy, and whatever else people associate with fat bodies, bad skin, and not-quite-right, awkward facial expressions. It doesn’t matter that I have the medical conditions to logically explain all of these things. It doesn’t matter that I started starving myself at 10 years old and continued to do so for decades because an undiagnosed metabolic disorder made my body hold onto everything. It doesn’t matter that the same disorder covered me with pimples and unwanted hair in weird places starting at 11 years old and will presumably never let up. It doesn’t matter that I’m in constant pain from a collection of inflammatory, autoimmune, and neurological conditions because when I have to rest, people see a fat person being still and assume I’m lazy. It doesn’t matter that I have a pair of neurodevelopmental conditions that make me process sensory and social information differently, and which are debilitating in ways I’ll never be able to express with words. I’m just an awkward mess of a person on the Mens Cat Dad Shirt all anyone will ever see. Most won’t bother to even try to know me. When I die, people will say “Well what did you expect? That’s what happens when you’re lazy and you don’t take care of yourself,” and only one or two of them will ever know just how hard I had to work to do exactly that every single day, just to survive. Caring for this body that causes me nothing but pain is now a full-time job that I can never, ever take a vacation or retire from. I feel you, OP, and I’m sorry. The Mens Cat Dad Shirt dehumanization is heavy and it changes a person. I’d give anything to experience the Mens Cat Dad Shirt of being typical but I also know it would only hurt me because then I’d be able to compare my life directly.

I actually did exactly this two years ago! I picked a Mens Cat Dad Shirt that was a common woman’s name. I subscribed to all the same subreddits that I normally follow (regional and technology subreddits, mostly), and posted using exactly the same voice I normally use. I used it off and on during those two years at a level I would characterize as moderate to heavy. I was never asked if I was male or female, so I never volunteered that information. I found that I got much, much more karma. This account is in the 14-year club, and I am gaining comment karma so much faster in the Mens Cat Dad Shirt. Post karma, too, although I’m not a big poster in either account. On the whole, I would say that I’m treated much better when people see a traditional female username. People are more willing to interact with me, reward my comments, and are less likely to argue with me — even on the extremely technical IT subreddits.
