I’m hesitant to even get this ADHD testing done because I’m at a point that I *need* medication to continue functioning.
I worked so hard for MONTHS to find the money because testing isn’t covered by any insurance.

RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

This is the moment for everyone in this country to learn that the decrease in birth rate is almost entirely from lowering teen pregnancies. So what they’re asking for is children to have more children.
JD Vance in his FIRST public address as VP says he “wants more babies in America”.

The precise wording is of less concern than the license they want to give to cops, teachers, TSA agents, little league coaches, and anyone with enough paranoia and free time to police how you look, dress, and act. Ask Imane Khleif--Their only definition of a "woman" is "we know it when we see it"
I think what’s going on here that these people are trying to find some true binary relating to biological sex. Genital morphology won’t do it. Sex chromosomes don’t do it. So they’ve retreated to gamete size. I think the use of large and small cell is also a hedge in this direction, not prudishness.
