not so friendly reminder to wear your damn mask, wash your hands regularly, take precautions, etc.. when you're sick.
i know people stuck on a hospital bed because of a "small cold" they caught from a person who was too selfish to take their precautions.
even if you're not actively coughing or sneezing, just talking and shaking hands is enough to contaminate someone.
don't be a selfish prick and wear your mask.

I think if another person calls me girl and then uses the excuse ‘well its gender neutral’ I should legally be allowed to kill.
Like woah! I don’t care if you are using it ‘gender neutrally’ don’t call me that!

it kills me how much people love to speculate on the trans male experience. transphobes and even other trans people will conjure up ideas of what it must be like for us to live, how hormones affect us, and especially what society treats us like. they love to tell us how we live our lives; strawman after strawman about fictional trans men who started hormones and became "evil and ugly", completely fabricated stories about about how every trans man they know suddenly "gained male privilege" and never deal with misogyny or transandrophobia.
people who tell you how your transmasculine experience will go have no idea what they are talking about. even if they sound confident, they are not correct- each and every transmasculine person has a different experience in life- we do not automatically gain the societal privilege of cishet white men once we decide to socially transition. they cannot see what your future holds. you don't deserve to have someone telling you how you will experience your own life, it is yours, you are allowed to live your truth, pave your own way and prove that we have varied lives that transcend what transphobes think the trans male experience is.

Once while I was at work a grown ass man told me "no matter how tough you act you'll never be a man, just like I'll never be a woman" and I know he MEANT like "I'm tougher than you because women are weak" but I heard it in Queer and went "Oh.... sweetheart" and he just completely recoiled it was insane

It's scary that this kit exists. It compares autism to cancer, tells parents to not accept their child's autism, tells them to mourn their VERY LIVING child because they're not neurotypical, and on and on. It's so disturbing.

Disability knows no age. Just because someone is young doesn't mean they can't be disabled.
I have several friends who've had to deal with being called liars who are trying to "cheat the system" for years simply because they use mobility aids.

The support and accommodations available to autistic people, especially autistic adults, is abysmal.
Let the autistic community dictate what autistic people need, not "non-profit autism awareness organizations".

I've lost count of the number of times my partner has asked if I'm okay because I look annoyed or angry. Nah, that's just my face.
Who else here has R.A.F.?

I'm seeing more and more teachers today who actually want to help their autistic students, they just don't always know where to get the best advice.
I'm just hoping that those teachers look towards autistic advocates to find the answers they need.

Fun Fact
I didn't know I was nonbinary until I was in my mid twenties because I truly thought you needed to have dysphoria to be enby/trans
And then I learned it's not about the dysphoria I'm not feeling, but about the euphoria I COULD BE feeling

Gender is so weird guys
I'm one of the girls, I'm a girl's girl and I'll cry if you say I'm not, but I'm not a girl's girl.
I'm also Just Some Guy, y'know? I'm a little weirdo, a freak, a little girl with dirt on his knees and fire in his eyes.
I'm her husband but I'm also her girlfriend.
I'm neither a man nor a woman but a weird recluse writer who lives on the edge of a cliff where its always stormy.
I dress like an alt older brother from an early 2000's movie but also like a 90's lesbian (sometimes it's the same outfit).
In conclusion, labels are weird. I'm a boyfriend and a girlfriend, a husband but not a wife, a girl but not a woman, a guy, a man, a friend.
All that being said, he/him and they/them are still very much my pronouns (never she/her).
Peace and love!!
