I think my job kind of attracts it because it makes sense for autistic people to be into historical interpretation and a job with expectations that (though often demanding) are very clear and specific. But damn are a good chunk of my coworkers also autistic. Maybe it’s why I get along with a lot of them so well.

”autistic people don’t do [ extremely common higher support need , higher level autistic trait / symptom ] , that just stereotype”

you need include us too : you need include childish autistic person , you need include nonverbal autistic person , you need include autistic person who drool , you need include autistic people with intellectual disability , you need include autistic person with loud messy public meltdowns .

can not hide behind “it just stereotype” because that not true . there are many people very disabled by autism , you need remember us and include us .

Was tempted to tell off a terf for directing the usual “transmascs are damaged/confused/traitorous/brainwashed women” narrative at me today but on second thought I think I’d actually like to broadcast this one to a wider audience

Living with your parents as a adult should count as time in purgatory

god i fucking wish i was a cis man with every bit of me. the guys at work, i love them, i love all my coworkers, they don't leave me out and im just one of them but I'm not. there's a line we dont cross. I wish i was really one of them and that line didnt exist. I wish i could just be another guy with them. I wish I could just be a man. I've been so happy lately but now the dysphoria is crushing. I was supposed to be a cis man I think. I need to be one. but i can't. Maybe when I die I'll be born again as one. I'd like that. I'm not planning on dying but. Thinking about dying and being reincarnated as the man I'm supposed to be feels nice. And shitty. idk.

my white ass is not immune to the nostalgia of viva la vida by coldplay

[theforesteldritch]

Yeah, I'm actually doing pretty good in life right now! I've got good friends, a great job that I love, what more could a guy want?

I'm not the one going through the blog of some dude online trying to find posts to make into a gotcha moment.

As much as I'd just absolutely love to continue, I have better things to do with my time. Get fucked.

'Death threat' LMAO. Yeah sure bud. Talking about firing a cannon into your face is 100% serious. If you like I can add in a carronade? Maybe some more details on the type of shot? Ball and chain, maybe? Hot shot, perhaps?

I'm perfectly capable of hating both you and the way the establishment perpetuates the use of a slur against people like me. Go fuck yourself.

Furries, next time you see someone call their fursona a herm(aphrodite) please fucking correct them. If enough people do it, intersex people might actually be able to participate in the fandom without seeing goddamn slurs everywhere. It's exhausting. It contributes to people believing fetishistic misinformation about real intersex people.

Tell people to use bigenital, salmacian, or dualsex, instead. If they're looking for a more scientific and less fiction-centric term, suggest cosexed, gonosimulite, or monoecious.

This is not difficult. Do better. Stop saying hermaphrodite.

Something I think about sometimes as a transmasc is the contrast between the stereotype of how transmascs and trans men are so often viewed through the lens of “girls (or ‘girls’) who want to be boys”, and my experience growing up of feeling like a boy who wished desperately that he could be a girl. But, knowing deep down on some level that I wasn’t one and couldn’t be one, no matter how much I wanted to be. And perhaps my experience is complicated by growing up intersex, and not really going through what people think of as a complete “normal girl puberty”, so that’s something to consider when looking back on my experiences with gender.

But, I’ve seen a lot of people, transmascs and (occasionally) non transmascs alike talk about the transmasc experience of Wishing You Were A Boy and rarely seen anyone else talk about the transmasc experience of Wishing You Were A Girl, and frankly, I feel like a lot of cis allies are unaware that this is a thing for some transmascs. I’ve seen people talk about internalized transphobia broadly a bit more often, sure, but this is a slightly more distinct feeling than simply wishing I was “normal” and able to blend in, and therefore not trans, and therefore a cis girl by default. I’m not really sure how to describe it. Like, before I even knew that being trans was a concept that existed at all, before I consciously ever thought “I feel like a boy” or knew that was something I could be, I remember thinking often “I wish I could be a Real Girl” but knowing that I felt like an imposter. There was an intense yearning for Girlhood, but a knowledge that Girlhood was on a shelf just out of my reach- despite not having any idea whatsoever as to why, at the time.

Maybe this doesn’t make a lot of sense, I only slept 4 hours and my head isn’t exactly screwed on straight. But I’m sharing this anyway, hoping that someone else out there will see it and resonate and know that they aren’t alone. I also think it’s worth mentioning that I find it interesting how gender dysphoria can manifest so differently for everyone who is affected by it.
