Too autistic to be trans, sick, very awesome, thank you
I have come to suspect the proportion of Trans/GNC and even Gay people in the population is actually much higher and only modestly correlated with Autism and ADHD. Those traits simply make being Trans something that you simply can’t mask forever.
There’s probably a huge mass of neurotypicals just miserable, but smothered under the weight of their vulnerability to social pressure.
I agree with this 100%. The amount of demi-gender-adjacent people who just identify as cis is substantial, at the very least. But the whole “what if I told you there was a pill that could turn you into the opposite gender” routine is a kind of cliche for a reason. A lot of people just do not have the language to express this aspect of themselves.
doesn’t allow people with autism/depression
GREAT!!!
MAKES SENSE!!!
:elmofire:
Is it even possible to have gender dysphoria and not have depression without transitioning?
3 years of dysphoria and 18 months of mandated therapy sessions hiding a sign of a single mental illness :agony-limitless:
Chemotherapy will not be granted to individuals without at least six months of consultation with an oncologist and zero traces of unusual growth.
We really need to stop letting people put poison in their bodies, especially children! Ban chemo for kids!
doesn’t allow people with autism/depression
That part makes me think that they are both, in fact very aware that there’s a big overlap between gender-nonconformance & Autism Spectrum traits, and that they’re deliberately banking on the extant social infantilization/dehumanization of autistic people to try to justify this.
I hope the AG of Missouri dies like Mussolini and I hope it happens soon.
:no-fash:
to be clear: any act of adventurism would be used as justification for further harming trans people. what I hope for is that this man is thrown out of office by a popular movement and then murdered in the street like a rabid jackal by the citizens of his state.
:spider-mad:
adventurism can be good sometimes, you just have to have a lot of people doing it
one assassination: meh
Multiple: :)
its not adventurism if its organized, its a revolution then.
uncoordinated stochastic assassinations are pointless. they don’t destabilize the state and instead give it time to adapt and spin.
easy historical example is Herschel Grynszpan. he acted as a lone wolf and didn’t even kill his intended target. without any org to push a coordinated message, the public fear/uncertainty about the act was then used by the nazis as justification for ramping up their pogroms against jewish people, queer folks, and socialists.
Does wishing someone would Accidentally trip into a swimming pool full of giant water bugs with notoriously painful bites count as adventurism
And it’s also the first step towards total eradication of services for the autistic. Something they’ve been trying to do for ages.
If you deny minors gender affirming care they will literally kill themselves or other people, those death will be on the republicans who deny this lifesaving treatment.
Nah, it’s gonna be on us. They’re not gonna take responsibility for it. They’re not gonna face consequences on their own. It’s not our fault, but the responsibility’s gonna be placed on our shoulders two-fold. Once as scapegoats for the ills of capitalism and again as members of the communities we organize and exist in with other queer people. No one else is gonna do the work that needs done.
