But I was able to relate to most toddlers who don’t have a concept of sexuality. I couldn’t relate to toddlers who could speak. There’s nothing to report regarding queerness. She had a gorgeous golden retriever, which isn’t related to anything at all. My parents were able to work out an agreement where sessions could take place in either of our apartments. This caused a lot of tantrums on my end and stress on my parents’ end.Ī speech therapist lived in our building, just two floors above us. Compared to a lot of two and three-year-olds, I was considered speech delayed. If I do accumulate more therapists and receive a dollar for each one, I’d be excited to have enough for even more relatively decent meals. Whether the number of therapists I accumulate continues to increase or not, I’m so excited to see how I continue to evolve and measure myself. I’m purely doing this at the expense of, well, myself.Įach of us are walking anthologies. Sexuality is a wide range of complex feelings and experiences. Obviously, there is no such thing as being “more queer” - queerness isn’t a metric system. One day, I thought it’d be pretty funny to use all the therapists I’ve had as a measuring tool for my queerness. They were either for speech or mental health. So, of course, I’m sharing it with strangers on a public platform. More than I can share in a casual, one-on-one conversation with a co-worker.
It doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s more than I want to admit. Or maybe enough money for a thing or two off the McDonald’s menu. If I had a dollar for every therapist I’ve had, I’d probably have enough money to buy a relatively decent meal at a nearby bodega.
