childhood boredom nurtures creativity in people. every kind of creativity. boredom is neurologically healthy because it creates an absence that the brain has to expand to fill. it exercises the mind. someone who had an ipad shoved at them every time they were bored as a child, when their brain was extremely plastic, will literally never reach the creative potential they otherwise could have. they have been wired instead to seek instant gratification always, deep focus never. stopping boredom in its tracks permanently severs brain connections that would have otherwise developed. entire generational talents have already been muted or wiped out by this neurotic obsession with preventing boredom

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid
