"A cishet person must have made this, no queer person would ever portray queerness in this way."
"This artist must be white."
"No SA victim would ever handle the subject in this way."
"No woman would ever write women like this."
"This creator is obviously neurotypical. Everyone with autism/ADHD/depression understands-"
Nope.
People who make these blanket statements are very frequently proven wrong when the creator comes out as a member of that group. And even when they aren't proven wrong, even in cases where the creator isn't from the group in question, actual members of the group who don't fit whatever arbitrary criteria are being expressed will see these statements and feel excluded and erased.
Not everyone in your group is going to share your experiences. No single individual gets to personally decide what does or doesn't count as a "valid" expression of trauma or being part of a particular group, and creators are also not obligated to out themselves in order to "prove" their validity.
If something doesn't resonate with you, all that means is that it doesn't resonate with you. You don't have to like it. But you don't get to decide what it means to someone else.

One day i'll stop pushing people away from me
One day i'll stop regretting not trying something different
One day the scars of the past will stop hurting
But until then i'll keep my guard up. I won't let people close until i'm sure they won't hurt me, and when they eventually do i'll push them away and never let them back in.

You're post about being transwhite resonated with me as a Black person still being seen as "too white". I wanted to claim being transwhite when I first gotten in the trace community, but I was internally ashamed. Post like yours reminds me that it's okay to be (trans)white.

Yeah I was feeling that too for a long time. When i finally came out and told some of my friends they were very wonderful about it and helped me. And honestly, i've been feeling a lot better about so many things ever since coming out. I've never really realized it but i've felt restricted on everything from fashion choices to food to language and now i've never felt so free and i've really only just now started finding a personal aesthetic i like and not just one i feel i fit the image of and won't get made fun of over it.
Its a nice feeling to finally do it but do wait till you feel more comfortable with it, is the best advice i can give.

Happy valentine’s day everyone!
One of my goals for this year is to beat at least one non roguelike game a month that i haven't beaten in the last 5 years. I've been so hard on the multiplayer and infinite loop train that i've been not really beating new singleplayer games outside of the occasional comfort pick like my annual clearing of starfox 64 and assault.
