First Pride month in a very long time where I've felt Pride was actually needed.
Homophobes and transphobes on the left and the right here in the UK
Pride parades attacked in eastern European cities.
Open attempts to overturn LGBT rights.
Time to fight once again.
Also I definitely count it as 'fortunate' - my family has always been interested in how people think because my parents were both teachers, so were used to needing to empathise with differences in how people learn.
I wonder if I'd think of it as a mental power - I guess it's why I often find thinking about code easy, it's just lists of instructions. What I find very hard is persuading myself to plan diagrams into design documents etc. because they're of basically zero use to me.
