I've seen people say, "oh I support gay people but you shouldn't change the gender God gave you" or "I support trans people but only MtF and FtM, nonbinary isn't real" or "I support gays and lesbians and bisexuals and trans and non binary but not those WEIRD xenogenders". IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT ALL QUEERS YOU DON'T SUPPORT ANY. The queer community is not a banquet for you to pick and choose which sexualities and genders you support. You support everyone or you support no one. Period.

I've said this all season and I'm going to keep saying it. He consistently performs at short tracks, intermediates, road courses, you name it. He already won the ARCA race. Very questionable decision by McAnally to get rid of him and hire one of the worst drivers in the sport overall... though I'm sure it's for money reasons. Be it practice, qualifying, the race itself, I'm never surprised to see Mosack running in the top ten consistently, damn near every race he runs. In my opinion he has more than proved himself worthy of a full time ride for 2027.

I (NB) am coming up on 3 years of my special interest (in fact, having a party for it tomorrow!). I have always loved cars, from a very young age, and a few years ago I got into NASCAR! I love NASCAR passionately. It's my safe place, my home, my everything. I'm watching a NASCAR Truck series race in Indianapolis as I write this post. I've been to two races and I'm going to another this year, and I hope I continue to go to races for my whole life if I can't get a job in the sport. But one thing that blows big time is knowing a lot of the fans and most of the drivers as well are mostly conservative men.

This gets highly more complicated when I admit I'm a bit parasocial. Because I was very low mentally when I got into racing, each and every driver in the field feels like a part of my journey to where I am now and I'm very attached to all of them. but deep down, I know that few of them would give a shit about me, accept my gender identity or my sexuality, or any of that. Fortunately, I've been blessed with a powerful imagination and me and my older sister (also autistic and also special interest of NASCAR) created an alternate universe where all of our favorite guys are still there, same face, same name, but we gave them different personalities so we don't completely feel like outcasts in our safe place all the time.

At the end of the day though, I don't know any of the drivers personally fortunately, so it's not the end of the world. It just kind of sucks sometimes. Does anyone else struggle with having a male/conservative dominated special interest?

The main symptoms I experience:

- VERY regular pelvic pain that feels like gas, but I usually experience it once or twice a day at least.

- Intense period cramps that keep me up at night and are sometimes borderline unbearable.

- Heavy bleeding on my period, occasionally with alarmingly large blood clots.

- Pain when using the bathroom on my period.

- irregular but intense pain in my right hip that lasts for days at a time.

I hadn't really considered having it until I saw a video recently of a woman who was experiencing very painful cramps and comments suggested she might have endo. Any input or advice is appreciated!

I like my current name but I’ve been exploring this one as well and would love to hear some tryouts!
