I got sent to a special ed school that didn’t even have actual classes cause they thought us autistic kids were too stupid for that

Erasure is not a privilege

Yes

The name is from death note

And of course it’s a black woman. Their idea of “real woman” is entirely centered around white femininity

Something about there being a record of what I said that can be checked and rechecked as many times as wanted gives me mad anxiety. Like they can analyse just how weird I talk. With a phonecall, all that remains is memory, and that makes people way more inclined to give me the benefit of the doubt.

I figure I’m not so important for people to be analyzing an email multiple times just to judge my emailing skills. If I’m a weirdo they’ll think “man, that was kinda weird” and forget about it

Man it’s a meme

Because cats are incapable of playing indoors

We need to ban women from women’s restrooms. It’s the only solution.

The police that I personally know, visit the caller and talk to them first to understand the complaint and often (but I agree not always) educate the caller that teenagers are just doing what the caller(s) did at their age… usually, there are no more calls and all groups move on with their lives.

do you happen to be white

They can’t do the same things teenagers did before because the world has been growing more and more hostile to teenagers. More places have banned kids. We have these mosquito things making noises to drive teenagers away. It’s become more difficult to get around without a car. Parents have become more helicoptery, not letting their kids out of the house. And “sorts itself out”? Here’s what happens. Some asshole calls the cops on teenagers just hanging out. The cops, with nothing better to do than harass innocent people, show up and chase them away. Now those teenagers don’t feel safe going back there, because they don’t wanna get cops coming after them. Or maybe the cops don’t stop at chasing the kids off! Maybe they get arrested for “loitering” or some nonsense. Maybe they get accused of dealing drugs because teenagers hanging around is strange and suspicious, and the cops love to frame innocent people. Cops getting called isn’t some silly and frivilous thing.

So where exactly are kids supposed to go? People will go on about “they should just go outside” but kids have literally had the cops called on them for the crime of walking around their own neighborhood “unsupervised”. I’ve seen calls to ban kids from all sorts of places - planes, theme parks, restaurants, libraries. I’ve seen these “mosquito” things put up to drive kids away from public places. Kids are spending all their time on social media because they have nowhere else to go.

It’s common for neopronoun users to not use them “in the wild” because they expect to be disrespected. Often they’ll have a set of standard pronouns that they use normally and only pse neopronouns in spaces they know to be affirming

As I recall, drag has said that “dragonfucker” is not drag’s gender identity. It’s just a username

The r-slur is targeted at intellectually disabled people. It’s not something for you to reclaim. When people call non-intellectually disabled autistic people that, the insult is that they’re comparing them to intellectually disabed people.

We know that human brains are still developing until around 26 years old

this isn’t true by the way.

The human brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, does not reach “full maturity” or "full development at any particular age (e.g. 16, 18, 21, 25, 30). Changes in structure and myelination of gray matter are recorded to continue with relative consistency all throughout life including until death. Different mental abilities peak earlier or later in life.

Text taken from wikipedia’s list of common misconceptions. Here’s a study on how the brain changes throughout life!

God I can’t wait to not have periods anymore

I’ve had people misgender me and try to convince me not to transition and then go claim to be trans allies because they don’t call people slurs and will say that killing trans people is bad if asked

And then gets hate crimed, because that is what happens to trans men in women’s restrooms, rather than all the transphobes going “oh no, please bring back the trans women”

Oh holy fuck that thread is rancid
