I am a jargonophobe. I hate jargon. My core competence is to never use the phrase “core competence.” I do not leverage, I do not synergize, I give a maximum of 100%, and I prefer to think inside the damn box. I keep it simple. Unless stated otherwise, everything in Affection Deficit Disorder defaults to cisgendered and heteronormative, because it’s written in the first person and those are the eyes I see through. Why does it require so many neologisms to say that?
