      I’m guessing, it’s supposed to be an innocent observation, like “dresses outside the norm”. But yeah, not sure why something like that makes it into a symptom list…

        Depends on what they are being evaluated for. If part of the evaluation includes whether they can or can’t pick up on social cues. Dresses oddly may help in the evaluation.

          Yeah, I guess, I just expected the symptom list that a patient might receive to be like proper diagnosed symptoms rather than just tangential observations. But the customs there probably vary wildly depending on the country…

        My doctor wrote down that I stunk of cannabis, when I went in about my foot. I mean, I probably did as it was trim day, but still…

      based on the pride flag i’m guessing it means “dresses like the opposite gender of what i perceive this person should be”

      edit: wow okay. wasn’t saying its bad. just saying having been queer and dealt with doctors they will absolutely try to use you being queer to justify saying you have a mental health disorder
