Been homeless over 6 years. My social services agency, high turnover. Being female , almost all my case managers have been female, standard practice....
Thank you. As woman with autism, it's weird. Women nts, some tend to unconsciously expect me to behave like a woman. They operate with stereotypes, assume women should be emotional, touchy feely, into romantic comedies, etc. So when I'm logical, to the point, talk about math, science, some can't compute. And some guys, they expect me to behave as a stereotypical female, treat me as such. Then they realize I'm not, am logical, etc, and their demeanor changes, start treating me as one of the guys.
I've met compassionate, emotional men, and analytical nerdy women. Just, so weird, how gender becomes such a big deal for some.
It's not emotional, social. It's mostly text communication. Like, "I'll meet you at the front gate 215pm." Female cm, we meet at the front gate 215pm. Male cm, 15 min later, im still waiting, then angry text from him saying he's waiting somewhere else.
I text him. Ask him to tell doctor to fax insurance approval to pharmacy. Instead of doing that, he spends the next 3 hours sending me a series of texts criticizing me, telling me it's my fault, not his, repeatedly pointing out, trying to get me to admit how irrational I was being.
All I'd said was "at the pharmacy. Can you tell the doctor to resend the insurance approval please?"
Yep. I'm grateful for the people who choose this work. Sucks they're constantly overworked, under paid, such a frustrating often thankless job. I try to remind them, hey rough job, but you've made a difference for me, so ty.
By the way: I read your comment about hearing voices. I've heard voices since childhood, was minor, infrequent. But recently stress, trauma I was having hearing voices all the time, speaking clearly. Persecution, terrorizing. Felt like I was going insane
My biggest fear, given mental health issues, wondering through out life if I'm going insane, seeing things, hallucinating, etc...
I'm terrified that the moment of death, I won't be able to tell if it's real or not. So it will be an infinitely protracted moment, and right now, I may already be in that moment.
Why are male social workers so different?

Staggered cadence, rhythm generator?
Problem: I'm being driven mad by voices speaking to me thru white noise. Need white noise to sleep...
I'm going to be a bit morbid here, but of all the diseases or mechanical ways to die, which would be your LAST CHOICE if given a preference. Dead last, so to speak. ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )
Mine would probably be Rabies.
