Screenshot of a twitter post by @dm4uz3. Transcription: do not go out with the trans bitches brooo 😭😭 which one is mine 😭😭😭 Attached is a photo of a marble tabletop. There are three pairs of glasses resting on the table, all three of which have round, nearly circular lenses and a metallic gold-colored frame.

Since I have no functioning fusiform gyrus after my second stroke, interpreting my face is a challenge, just trying to look in the mirror to shave is a big thing, and makeup just isn’t happening for me cause I can’t comprehend my own work, let alone inspect it.

My glasses make it so that I have a perceivable and understandable starting point to figuring out my face: my right eyebrow. Also I can tell who I am in photographs by looking for that notch.

I apologize because my glasses frustrate you, but they are a disability aid in more than one way, and I really need them.

    First of all: please never apologize for tools that helps you get going in life! Those are things YOU need and my "frustration is MY frustration and not your task to solve it and if those tools frustrate (or annoy?) other people, than its their problem.

    Second: thank you for the long and very interesting explanation that was very thoughtful of you.

    Last but not least: now I have to say sorry! Sorryif you thought (or think) you make some random stranger uncomfortable just because of your glasses. Sorry if you felt attacked because of my shitty ocd (I am honest here and if its reads like that bo sarcasm, English is not my main language. And sorry if you felt the urge to explain (except you wanted to, than just still thank you :D)
