I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can't seem to figure it out.

Executive function.
People existing in society in good faith. People who just want the world to be a better place to live, and aren't willing to shove people down below them in order to get an edge.
I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.
The sad reality is that I'm going to be fine. I'm going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I've been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven't been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the "wrong" race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.
The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.

I'd settle for a non-shy bladder (a social bladder? An extroverted bladder?)

Legs. I'm a double amputee, and I miss them.
I would say that’s not really minor
Relatively? Yeah. It's minor. Most people don't even consider having legs.

I wish I didn't have this giant penis.
Well spit it out
I'm constantly tripping over mine
A brain that can produce a stable level of serotonin and not go haywire all because the seasons changed.
That and being neurotypical, my life would be much easier if I didn't have ADHD

A properly functioning neocortex.
No allergies. Im allergic to dairy, eggs and most nuts. I'm not lactose intolerant, which I wish I had, because then I could be in the bathroom for a few hours instead of a hospital for a few days. So many things have milk in them, and the few things that don't put eggs in them too. I can't eat out.

Smooth joints, by the time I was 14 I already had clicky joints and now if I stand or sit in the wrong way I need to click them back in

Being alone.
Everyone’s talking about a loneliness epidemic and I’m here wishing I had fewer people around me.
Most of them I love, for sure, but the freedom and relaxation of not having anyone around is addicting and I haven’t had a good hit since 2020

A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.
The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.
Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing

Hair
A big fluffy tail.
An interest in dogs. I really dislike them as far as having to live with one which makes dating literally impossible. Using dating sites over the years I've seen probably 80%+ profiles mention loving dogs, needing dogs, stealing your dog, owning all the dogs, some profiles even start with "blah blah dog."
I hate that there's such an obsession with dogs and travel... :(

An inner voice. My wife and son both talk about options and choices like they've discussed things with another person.
I have to go with plan A. There is no second thought.
Total aphantasia? Same here, but:
No intrusive thoughts, ever.
No visions of, or reliving, trauma.
No sad-memory sounds or tastes.
No facades, so no energy wasted.
And if you got the SDAM bonus, you can re-discover all your favorite books and movies like you never read or watched them before!

Being able to eat gluten. So many things have wheat and thus gluten. Soy sauce? Check. Dumpling wrappers basically everywhere in Japan? Check (more flexible and easier to work that pure rice flour). Tons of sauces? Check. Salad dressings? Check (sometimes via soy sauce in Japan).
