The racism perpetuates the double standard.

i’m gonna hold your hand with a glove on when i say this

when disabled/chronically ill people tell you they can’t do something, then that is not your cue to tell them that they can actually or that they’ll always find an excuse if they’re looking for one.

when a disabled/chronically ill person says they can’t do something, sometimes that doesn’t mean it’s outside the realm of possibility, sometimes it means if they (attempted to) do that, they will seriously hurt themselves.

when a disabled/chronically ill person says they can’t do something, sometimes it’s preventative care, and they refuse to do that thing to prevent a flare up from happening/their symptoms getting worse in the first place.

disabled/chronically ill people are not “looking for excuses”, they are giving you reasons why. something they don’t even have to do! so maybe just accept the reasons they give you.

We absolutely cannot emphasize enough that misogyny is an ideology soaked in blood. Misogynists kill women every day in their homes, at their jobs, when they're pregnant, when they're just trying to transition in peace, when they solicit them for sex work, when they're walking down the street, when they're at school, when they're sleeping, when they're begging them not to, when theyre colonizing their countries, when they're abusing their children, and sometimes they do it with their fists and sometimes they do it with assault rifles. To reduce it to anything less serious than that is shameful.

A trans woman, Jaia Cruz, was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

During slavery, you worried that freeing slaves would cause prices to increase due to the loss of the slaves' labor.

Nowadays, you worry that freeing prisoners would cause prices to increase due to the loss of the prisoners' labor.

In other words, you want the government to implement something that keeps prices low.

If you think that's a legitimate function of the government, why not just prohibit corporations from profiting over a certain amount? Why not just tax rich people and provide those things for free?

I'm so sick of the way people will assume that if you're mentally ill every concern of yours must be entirely irrational. Like you can be paranoid AND be in danger. You can have RSD AND be rejected. You can have anxiety AND be in an objectively scary situation. You can be depressed AND be in a genuinely shitty situation. You can have BPD AND experience abandonment. You can be psychotic AND be onto something weird. No mental illness actually makes you immune to the troubles and dangers of the real world that'll touch literally everyone on occasion. Being irrational sometimes absolutely does not mean that ALL of our concerns are ALWAYS irrational and assuming it does honestly puts people in danger

One really weird thing transphobic cis women will say is something to the effect of “I was a tomboy, thank god it was before the transgender craze. They would made me transition.” Like, probably not, girl. As you are a cis woman who has never communicated any form of gender dysphoria. It makes it really obvious that they think being transgender is just conforming to different gender roles. There is an ocean between a little girl who likes traditionally masculine fashion and has traditionally masculine interests and a child that is transgender. They are not a slippery slope. They don’t push you down the slide of transgenderism if you cut your hair short when you’re 12.

There are so many trans men who were never tomboys, who were the picture of the ‘perfect little girl’ and genuinely enjoyed traditionally feminine hobbies and expressing themselves in ways associated with femininity. It confuses and angers cis people when they come out as trans because they only see gender as a role to perform and not an identity. If you’re truly a woman, you’re generally not susceptible to randomly turning into a man. If you’re truly a man, you’re generally not susceptible to randomly turning into a woman.

Actually, no, I don't use "useful" or "useless" to describe any human being because at best it's capitalism brainwashing and at worst it's eugenics.

Yall I hate to break it to you but sometimes disability isn’t the most eco-friendly sustainable practices 100% ethically sourced thing.

I have no idea where the metal in my leg is from. Or where all of the surgical instruments or medications i’ve taken are from.

I can guarantee the knee brace I rely on, my cane, my (future) wheelchair, etc aren’t made in the best ways either.

I use single-use things. KT tape for my joints, individually packaged things, etc. I would love to use something more sustainable but that’s not an option for me.

In an ideal world some of this stuff could be better (like sourcing materials in a more ethical way), but some stuff wouldn’t change (needing single use products). Stop holding disabled folks to impossibly high standards, especially ones that majority of ableds can’t even live up to.

Possible unpopular opinion: treating having a special interest as equivalent to being an expert on the topic is another form of the savant stereotype.

I also need people to apply this to people with self-harm scars!! Asking someone to put a trigger warning on THEIR OWN BODY because they have self harm scars is FUCKED UP!!

AND YES, this includes people with fresh self-harm scars, as long as they aren't a biohazard to the people around them, they should be able to exist out in public without having to cover up!!!

Stop policing people's bodies because YOU'RE uncomfortable with the way other people's bodies exist!!!

the people who go "we shouldn't be so open about nudity because it could trigger someone's dysphoria" are like two steps max removed from "fat people being fat in public could trigger someone with an ed". like peoples' bodies are not the problem here, trying to restrict someone else's body because of how you personally feel is indistinguishable from conservative praxis. i'm sorry if that sounds harsh but there is basically no interpretation of "we need to control the bodies of [demographic]" that does not fall down the slippery slope of fascism.

My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit

Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before

“maybe men wouldn’t fall down the alt right pipeline so easily if feminists were nicer” yesss women famously got our rights by saying “pretty please? 🥺 with a cherry on top? 🥺🥺🥺” and the men were really nice and said “omg yes of course 🫰🏻”
