Looking back I think its rlly funny that 18 is considered like the Adult™ age bc it's not. You're 17 one day and 18 the next and nothings really changed. You're probably still in highschool or just starting college. You have the same annoying teenage habits or something except now everyone tells you to be an adult about it all. But you're fundamentally still a kid. Something about roses by any other name would still smell as sweet but here its used to mean that just because someone says you're an adult doesn't mean that you are. You're 18.

i came across this post about a mom taking her severely autistic teen son into the women’s bathroom because there was no single bathroom and wow it’s such a mess. an employee was rude to them and said it wasn’t a transgender bathroom and called the police on them which is horrible of course and shouldn’t have happened and i hope the mother and son get a good settlement.
but everyone in the comment is like ‘see, transphobia harms everyone!’ like yes obviously the employee referenced trans people but other than that this scenario could have happened exactly the same way 20 years ago, when most people were not really aware of trans people. the idea that men/older boys shouldn’t be in women’s bathrooms isn’t exactly new lol.
and then some 14 year old (i imagine) in the comments is like ‘gendered bathrooms are pointless’ and a muslim woman responds that female-only bathrooms are important to her and someone tells her that her religion is a choice but being trans isn’t :/
the situation was just really interesting to me bc i have a young adult autistic brother who can’t go to the bathroom by himself, and i don’t think it would be appropriate for someone to take him to the women’s bathroom. obviously if that’s the only option available it would have to do, but i think if there’s no single bathroom available he should use the men’s, even if he’s with a female caregiver. he’s not a little kid being brought into the bathroom with his mom, he’s an adult man who happens to be disabled.
another commenter was like ‘wtf the kid is nonverbal who cares if he’s in the women’s bathroom’ as if that turns you into some sort of sexless being. i can assure everyone that it does not. idk it’s like a weird denial of disabled people as sexual beings like everyone else.
and again if i was in the bathroom and saw a disabled man with a female caregiver, i would assume that that was the best option available and obviously wouldn’t say anything to them, they’re just trying to go about their business. but the intersection of discourse here is just fascinating to me idk. like everyone just forgets about sexism and makes Everything about trans people.

I was cranky but then I found a rly good job listening even tho it's in Boston. Instead of hoarding potential listings and trying to apply all at once which is wicked overwhelming im just gonna apply to this one for now and honestly I'm feeling much better. Gonna grab some white claws in a bit too bc I keep forgetting just how fucking much I now hate svedka and juice
