Me, as an Autistic kid: *shows enjoyment and enthusiasm for things I like*

NT adults: "Woah calm down!" *Clearly think I'm annoying, some even punishing me for it*

NT kids: "Wow, you're so annoying!" *Bullies me for it*

Me, an Autistic adult now: *learnt to be neutral about everything, taking us as little space as possible, learnt that enjoyment=vulnerability because people will mock your interests and how much you like them*

NT people: "Why don't you like things? Do you even have interests? Oh you're enjoying yourself well can you tell your face that? Why do you never enjoy things? Why are you so boring? Why are you so shy? You just need to come out of your shell."

Me: *tentatively starts showing my interests and enjoyment at things I like*

NT people: "No, not like that."

yk what the Roman's got RIGHT? the way they ate lounging on special eating couches like they would have a dining table with couches around it and the table was low so it'd be most comfortable to lie down. honestly ideal. I gotta become a homeowner so I can recreate this in my house

Spin the wheel and let it randomly assign you a gender identity.

Trump was the biggest birther. How do people forget that?

"But billionaires' wealth is not cold hard cash."

You fully admit that money is a completely made up concept, but we allow people to starve and live on the street because they don't have enough money, even though there exists enough food and housing for everyone?

These exist. The problem is that these characters are usually called the villains.

really not sure when it happened or why but personally I'm pissed that the queer community at large seems to have given up ground on the "people with penises/vulvas/testes/ovaries" language to sex & gender essentialists in exchange for the much less precise, much more demeaning "AGAB" language.

is it because you're scared of the word vulva? of acknowledging out loud that some people have penises? of recognising that many many people, including but certainly not limited to trans people, have mixed sex characteristics that cannot be accurately summarised by "afab/amab" as shorthand for "female/male"?

"in [GENITAL RELATED] situation AFABs will need to do X and AMABs will need to do Y" there are "afabs" with penises and "amabs" with vulvas. Saying this shit makes you look so unserious & honestly transphobic (given the ongoing erasure of post-op trans people within broader community). Intersex people and GRS have both existed for long enough (fucking forever and, decades, respectively) that we should well past making this basic fucking mistake.

quit referring to people by a vague & often violent event that happened at their birth as though it defines ANYTHING about how they & their body currently operate, and start using precise language so you at least look like you know what you're fucking talking about.
