speaking of r slur shit i see people using the word then backtracking saying “i can reclaim it because i’m autistic :)” like i don’t think you can actually. because the r slur directly targets people with intellectual disabilities not someone who took the raads-r online and scored slightly within range of being on the spectrum SORRY

there’s this concept of “aspie supremacy” where autistic people with overall lower support needs dominate conversations of neurodivergence and do not take into consideration that they have privilege over other disabled and neurodivergent people. yes you ARE autistic and no one can tell you otherwise because they are not in your brain but being autistic and having an intellectual disability are two different things.

Make sure to boycott all local shows and bands btw

You can't be punk if you listen to music

You can't be punk

It's just not possible

was "debating" another trans guy the other night because he responded to one of my posts arguing that trans men hold no privilege over trans women, i had answers for everything he asked, he kept trying to move goalposts and put words in my mouth while ignoring the answers i had for him, it is frustrating, and in the end he said something like "we're arranging deck chairs on the titanic" which i disagree with too, this idea that acknowledging how trans women are in immediate danger before we will be targeted is "infighting" is setting us back though because these guys are not at all prepared to protect or defend trans women or fight back on their behalf and if it comes down to it yeah we might all be fucked because these guys are too busy arguing about "men's rights"

he was bringing up trans men who don't pursue medical transition too, but like, even if you are perceived as a cis woman you still have it easier than trans women, even if you don't necessarily benefit from male privilege because you haven't transitioned you still benefit from the fact that people will believe and trust you over a trans woman

pawing at you for attention maturely and in such a way as to command your respect

i’ve made this post a million times but it really does drive me up the wall when people think that the phrase “everything is political” means “everything is related to current political happenings” instead of “everything is a product of its context”
