None gender with left girl

when i asked whether their autistic classmate's meltdown was dangerous or merely uncomfortable, they said, "i felt like i was in danger!"

yes you should, actually. that's life. upsetting things happen. no one should have to experience any discomfort. but we do. we get stung by bees and sunburns and headaches. we live in bodies in the world.

autistic people are human beings who have the right to exist in society, including during meltdowns. having one class of your entire semester interrupted by a singular meltdown is not anymore of an infringement upon your entitlement to education than having your class interrupted by a fire alarm or cancelled for a snow storm.

one of my peers once experienced a cardiac event 10 minutes into class. it was terrifying. it was desperately upsetting. i was contacted by the school and offered counseling afterward because i happened to be the one who managed the situation until paramedics arrived. no one should have to experience their classmate being hauled off in an ambulance, but it happens. everyone was worried about my classmate first and foremost, and then about me. no one blamed anyone, and certainly when my classmate happily recovered and returned to school, no one thought they should be removed from the program.

very interesting concept to have a whole tag called "blocklist" where you screenshot and share peoples posts, but don't actually block them.

"that person", "they", writing as if I'm not trans myself. The trans flag is visible in my profile pic in the screenshot and my username contains a reference to what gender I am. My pronouns are in my bio. but yeah this is pretty par for the course, do zero research and just make your opinion based on your imagined idea of the person in question.

"Bonus points if they start acting like they are an authority on what trans men have to go through" - I don't, and one of the things the original vent post was about was a trans man talking about transfem hrt confidently incorrectly. so y'know.

already adressed this in a recent post/reblog but yeah no i'm not implying this, my issue is trans men who get the shallowest understanding of lgbtq topics and think that in combination with them being trans makes them authorities on those subjects. you need to actually put some effort into learning shit if you wanna speak with authority on wider community issues.

this is just a complete fabrication, i said no such thing.

again, you aren't inherently an authority on an issue because you're part of the group that is affected by it. and my vent isn't about trans men speaking about their lived experiences, that's fine, please do that. my issue is trans men talking about other subjects that they know very little about but believe that they are the authority on because of a combination of a baseline understanding of it and their own identity as trans men.
