Like, trans women, and disabled women, and women of colour, and Muslim women, and LBPQI women, and mentally ill women, and fat women NEED to be prioritized in feminism. We need to support and advocate for our most vulnerable, because a woman privileged in every aspect except their gender gaining a victory doesn’t mean a victory for all of us. We need our most marginalized to be empowered because they’re the ones being slaughtered and abused most of all.

Spectrum outfitters is a new UK BASED company that is about to start selling binders

I know this damn website is so Americanised but PLEASE reblog this! Transmasculine people in the UK have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for shipping from America. This could change all that.

Support your UK trans community. Reblog this. Get the word out.

also, lmao ERs treat drug addicts so bad that it harms fucking everyone.

Like, I had recently had surgery, left the hospital I had surgery at because I felt better, 7 hours later turns out I had an infection, could have died, and was in excruciating pain. I get to the ER, my dad tells them what happened, and that I needed pain medication, and let me tell you, I’ve been hit by a car, this pain was 10 times worse than having your tailbone broken but constant. 

So they check me in, and take an hour and a half to get to me. It wasn’t busy there, I remember distinctly it wasn’t busy, they even said it wasn’t busy. It took them an hour and a half of me in this horrible pain for them to read my file and figure out I had an infection and could die, so finally then did they give me pain medications.

Because as soon as you go into the ER asking for pain meds, you’re automatically an addict in their eyes. And this is bullshit for two reasons:

1) addicts are still suffering and deserve medical treatment, especially when it’s that severe

2) this drastically harms people who suffer from chronic illness/chronic pain/infections/anything really

They hate addicts so much they’re willing to let disabled people suffer in agony for hours, because they just don’t care, whats it to them if an addict is suffering for hours? 

[reminder you can die from withdrawal, so they should fucking be treating addicts just as seriously as anyone else]

Don't feel ashamed of doing "CHILDISH" things

•buy toys/dolls/crayons •play with Legos •play old videogames/dress up games •weave friendship bracelets •watch cartoons •use stickers •draw pics of your favorite characters

If it makes you feel nice, do it. Don’t even worry about what other people think, because it doesn’t matter–if it brings you happiness, it’s not “ridiculous”, or “immature”.

You deserve to enjoy yourself.

Gad Beck as a child, a young man, and towards the end of his life.

Gad spent his life involved in education and activism following the Holocaust. His autobiography tells of his work in the underground Jewish resistance in Berlin during WWII, as well as his relationships with men, both long-term relationships and fleeting sexual encounters. When he died in 2012, he was the last known gay survivor of the Holocaust.

You can listen to our episode on him on iTunes, Podbean, Stitcher, and Tunein.

Allistics always say things like “NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT!” when talking about eye contact, body language, etc and they’ll get mad at Autistics for struggling with that kind of thing. But when a nonverbal Autistic communicates through sign language, texting, or writing, suddenly that’s inappropriate and they have to learn to talk. Or when an Autistic (verbal or nonverbal) communicates nonverbally through stimming or something similar, then suddenly that’s also inappropriate and needs to be stopped.

Don’t tell us to learn nonverbal communication when, in fact, most of the time we already know it - it’s just a different brand than yours. Learn our ways of communication. Don’t try to make us communicate in YOUR inaccessible way and don’t treat us like we’re broken or subhuman for not understanding.

Important PSA to allistic parents of autistic children:

If someone says, “I want autistic people’s input on this,” they are not asking for your opinion. As a matter of fact, they’re specifically asking you to stay out of it and not speak for somebody else. Yes, even if your child can’t answer the question for themselves.

There’s a time to sit down and listen to the people you’re claiming you want to help. This is one of those times.
