All of the messages that say we’re broken, lesser than, missing out on something vital to human experience are wrong and we reject them everyday by being ourselves.

Discovering and embracing your asexual spectrum identity is a powerful experience.

Watching ace folks build and rebuild our community after all the attempts to erase or deny us is so empowering.

Sokka, a local fool prepping his boomerang:

To start off, we must eliminate Sheik because Sheik’s already cross-dressing.

All cross-dressing is limited to clothes, wigs, and makeup. Cutting hair or dying it is not allowed.

Removed because they can genderbend:

Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Pokemon Trainer (they’re not treated as Red and Green in Smash which is why they’re here) and Corrin.

Removed because there is no gender difference in species:

You can’t tell a male kirby apart from a female one. Same goes for jigglypuffs, squirtles, greninjas, charizards, pichus, lucarios, venusaurs, yoshis and incineroars (I don’t get it either).

Removed because they don’t have a gender:

Technically most plants have male and female parts, but you can’t cross-dress if you’re a plant. R.O.B.’s a robot and robots don’t have genders. Mewtwo’s genderless. Dark Samus is referred to as female but is technically genderless.

Now, let’s get started with the list!

Explanations below

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

college can literally be free right fucking now as we speak but keeping young people out of loan debt isn’t a priority to the government.

let me repeat that because this information is infuriating.

-the government needs roughly $62 billion to make all public colleges free. 

-that’s obviously a lot of money, but not to the government, knowing they’re going to spend $716 billion on nuclear weapons.

-the government has no interest in alleviating the college financial crsis – or any other economic related problems, because they don’t care. 

If you are planning on reading or gifting “To Siri With Love” by Judith Newman, please be aware that the autistic community has called for a boycott. The book is a grotesque invasion of the 13-year old son’s privacy including her cruel observations that imagining him having sex is accompanied by the Benny Hill soundtrack in her head. She plans to acquire power of attorney to have him forcibly sterilized when he is 18 without his consent.

The author begins by saying she hates ‘patronizing’ phrases, but then:

She says she’ll use ‘he’ as the default pronoun because she hates the singular ‘they’ - I quote, “Language needs to evolve, but not into something ugly and imprecise.” She then goes on to bash the word ‘cisgender’ as supposedly pretentious.

She casually mentions looking at her kids’ Google search history as a matter of course.

While discussing the rise in autism diagnosis rates, she says, word for word: “Or whether it’s because slightly odd people who used to be single are having more of a chance to breed”

She consistently uses person-first language, despite having poked fun at it earlier.

She consistently focuses on her (very privileged, narrow, making no attempt to widen it) worldview rather than her child’s.

And that’s just within the first twenty pages.

Here is a post by an actually autistic lady detailing the horrible, callous, dehumanizing way this author speaks of autistic people, the way said author has behaved on Twitter towards autistic people, and yes the author’s unashamed declaration that she intends to forcibly sterilize her autistic son who was, let me remind you, thirteen years old at the time she wrote the book (and is still a minor).
