it’s kind of crazy how here on the so-called feminism website you literally can’t say something as simple as “dude is an inherently gendered term” without literally dozens upon dozens of people who consider themselves feminists showing up to say “idk i use it in a gender neutral way”. like idk how to tell you this but the fact that masculine words are considered default/neutral and feminine words are not is, in fact a reflection, of a patriarchal society.
also i cant believe i have to say this but please unkindly fuck RIGHT off if you think children or animals can consent.
Yes. Some autistic people can pay taxes, write poems, live an independent life, etc.
But some of us cant. Some of us, like me, cant live independently. Cant be without someone. Cant be a member of society without extreme accommodation and help.
I need help in everyday life. I have a caregiver for gods sake. I need help in everyday life and will never be independent. It’s frustrating to constantly get comments about how autistic people can live independently. Cause some of us cant, and that needs to be talked about. I get sores from not showering enough. I get sores from my wheelchair. I have cavities from not brushing my teeth enough.
Life with higher support needs shouldn’t be something that is ignored and not talked about. My caregiver helps me live life as independently as possible. Independence looks different for everyone. Our caregivers are an extension of ourselves. Our caregivers are important and should be recognized. Stop throwing us under the bus for your “salvation”
We are all at risk, and throwing higher support needs people under the bus will not benefit you. You’re ruining years of advocacy by your words and videos.
Miss Piggy's response to misogyny and fatphobia is physical violence and I think we should all take something from that
some low support needs level 1 autistic will throw higher support needs level 2&3 or nonverbal nonspeaking autistic under bus if in their mind there even 0.01% chance they maybe perhaps get rights. or more accurately, get be oppressor class. n it shows
So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.
Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”
Does a trans woman who transitions and goes completely stealth, like SRS, voice training, cis-passing, updated legal docs, etc. become tme? If she can be inspected nude and people would assume she was cis then would transmisogyny even be able to be applied to her? Genuine question.
that used to be like the way trans women were expected to live and the risk of being exposed as transfem still hung over them so like. yes.
Mad about politics again
"i can't benefit from oppressive power structures, i'm literally nice :)" is a disturbingly common sentiment on here and if u express it then i can never trust u again
You can separate the art from the artist, but you cannot separate the artist from that art's profit.
Feel free to ignore. This is my “old man yells at cloud” blog, so, let’s see where this shit goes.Qualifications aka basic biographical info: I’m a white queer adult in America and nothing else is any of your business
