I know education is the only way to raise awareness and public awareness is the only way to ensure public safety, but if it was just me on my own, I'd honestly prefer that being trans wouldn't have to be A Whole Thing that people must be educated about. I wish I could just be telling a random anecdote to someone I'm not that familiar with and be able to casually preface it by clarifying "anyway I was a girl when I was a kid" for context, and just have them not even ask, but just quietly shrug to themselves like
"oh huh, didn't know that's something that can happen to people but I guess that's a thing", and let me go on about the story about the dog.

If you think about it…. the acronym KYS isn’t saying “kill yourself,” it’s saying Kill Your Self. Three words. As in, kill the concept of the “Self” - your consciousness’s perception that it is an individual, that it has one meaningful isolated identity that is “you,” that it is not but a droplet in the grand ocean of interconnected souls of all living beings in this universe. I think this is beautiful. Embrace ego death and become one with everything. Everyone should KYS

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.
Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.
“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.
If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.
If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.
Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.

They should invent having the safety and freedom to live a comfortable and fulfilling life but for people that don't have any money and never will
