"Why does the robot have boobs? Robots don't need boobs"

They're for gender euphoria. She has boobs cause she wanted them

No, I would not steal a car. However, if I had the ability to create a copy of someone's car that I could have for free while the other person retained their original car, I would definitely do that.

In the Clans, one's gender identity, expression, and sexuality are topics that are, in general, seen as a personal matter, with no legal restrictions or social stigmas attached to them.

In the days prior to the invasion of Inner Sphere, there was no such thing as "Pride Month" in the Clans, for the above reasons. I have however noted that in the century of time some of the Clans have spent in the Inner Sphere, it has become more and common for members of those Clans to be more outspoken about these matters on a public level. Partly this was driven by attempts to integrate into the Inner Sphere territories, and partly due to the simple expedience of numerous generations of Clanners now growing up inside the Inner Sphere, and the more public Spheroid culture around these issues influencing their views and ideas. I for one find this to be a positive change.

The tradition of Pride Month has thus caught on among many Spheroid Clans. Wolf, Snow Raven, and Ghost Bear celebrate it openly (usually as part of wider celebrations within the Wolf Empire, Raven Alliance, and Rasalhague Dominion), as does Sea Fox. Jade Falcon celebrates it once more as well (the practice was heavily discouraged by Malvina Hazen - another reason to hate her). Smoke Jaguar has celebrated it as part of wider Star League celebrations, and I do know it was at least somewhat observed by members of the Fidelis, if somewhat more privately than most. As for Hell's Horses, I cannot say with certainty, but I imagine it is at least tolerated.

What this all means, however, is that because among the Clans there is still no generally excepted period in which to overtly make visible the (many) of us that do not fit the heterocisnormative mould (there is, for example, a very good argument to be made that by social convention, most alloromantic members of the Clan warrior caste would be counted as polyamorous) - beyond ramping up the celebration during Spheroid Pride Month - but rather that such members of our society are always visible and valued:

Every month is Pride Month for the Clans.

Are they ‘trauma dumping’ or are they just discussing their life experience and you are such an asshole that you can’t stand to be confronted with information that makes you uncomfortable for 0.005 seconds???

Shout-out to the autistics who crave hugs. Shout-out to the autistics whose love language is touch.

And shout-out to the autistics who were denied a timely diagnosis because a misinformed professional thought you were "too affectionate" to be autistic.

You aren't any less autistic because of how you show affection. And you aren't nearly as rare as pop culture and outdated research would imply.

[dapperapples]

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints
