You want to know a good way to judge that you are TRULY accepted in society?
When people aren't afraid to make jokes about you even at your expense. That means they have accepted you to the point they can be honest about your hypocrisy and failings.

This is why I so often and openly joke about my own disabilities.
"Ooh, what'll I hyperfixate on THIS week? Ooh, can't wait to watch that new show and then zone out every 30 seconds to ponder some hypotheticals instead of focusing on watching the actual damn show!"
Alright, I'll take your word for it, but I just can't get into some of the matches I've seen in the past few years. I miss 90s wrestling, they weren't so scared of doing dumb dangerous stuff in the ring.

Okay but let's hear the flip side: were those hypotheticals more interesting than the show?
No. I was watching live pro wrestling, the last bastion of traditional high-T masculinity in American entertainment.
