Planetka is a small free game in which you get to grow plants and Luigi settlers (✦ ‿ ✦)

I'm not visibly disabled (at least until I started limping recently due to my knees I guess), but I get lots of similarly smarmy and condescending comments from strangers for being visibly trans.

The way I try to cope with it is by wearing noise cancelling earphones wherever I go and not making eye contact with anyone. It does work a lot of the time, but sometimes I still see people looking at me and... reacting, shall we say (pointing and laughing for example). Also my earphones aren't good enough to block things out if somebody starts shouting at me, so it's not like I don't still get reminders about what people actually think of me, but it works some me the time, which is better than nothing.

Overall though, I still really struggle to brush these things off like some trans people seem to be able to do. Maybe it digs extra deep due to all the autism related social trauma, but it's to the point that I find leaving my home for any reason really difficult due to this and often have panic attacks when I'm getting ready to go out.

Control freak parents do often frame their abuse as "worry" in my experience
