Hey btw if you have an autistic person in your life pls know that they do care about you. They're bonding with you by sitting near you, by sending you memes, by liking your posts, by info dumping to you. We have weird ways of showing we care but trust me we do.

Assortment of sillies.

Sleepy Pilby

Also a thing abt how Mach likes Pilby but Pilby likes Split but Split likes Bive (this isn’t canon but it’s canon in my brain) I love them all very much

Mach acts like she doesn’t really gaf about Pilbys crush but it actually does make her sad and she feels bad for being a little relieved that Split rejected Pilby

Also ignore how thin the first Pilby is I accidentally drew them at an angle and it elongated them lmao

"The LGB community", "The LGBTQ community", "The gay community", "the queer community", etc...

These phrases are used among conservatives, radical feminists, and trans activists/gender ideologists, and just broader culture alike.

Portraying the homosexual and bisexual population as one "community" is disingenuous, in my opinion. There isn't one, overarching community.

"The woman community"

"The poor community"

"The elder community"

Etc.

It doesn't make much sense, and acts to both politicize and stereotype ("you're all the same"). This choice of words isn't just normalized for homosexual and bisexual populations, but also for people of color, tribal/Indigenous groups, and disabled populations. i.e, "the black community", "the Indigenous community", "the disabled community", "the deaf community", "the autistic community", and so on. It also portrays social cohesion under whatever may be the current mainstream culture or belief systems within these groups, which might not be true but instead driven by broader culture or more privileged individuals.

Lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people are a population or a group, with several communities. Lesbian biker communities, communities of gay musicians, etc.

When we refer to marginalized/oppressed groups as the "XYZ community" and use the word "community" as an umbrella term, as stated above this effectively associates mainstream cultural norms and ideologies existing within these populations as cohesive, accepted by all, and in many ways being what defines them. This is (in part!) why, for example, being unsupportive of BDSM turns into others accusing someone of being homophobic, because they associate the leather and BDSM community with the LGB population, since this community or culture is what is currently mainstream among gay and bisexual people. Participating in BDSM, leather, and queer theory are not what defines being lesbian, gay, or bisexual. These things are subcultures or subcommunities which have gone mainstream, and what is mainstream is often pushed by and/or is what benefits the most privileged within a population.

My pitch is that it is beneficial to replace "community" with "population", "group", "people", etc., to make distinguishments between "broader gay culture" and the actual people, and to adopt framing that understands that there exists several communities within specific groups instead of just implying there exists one community true for everybody.

i hate when people discuss sign/traits/symptoms of autism they often you the word "inappropriate" to describe the behaviors of the autistic person

maybe it's just me but the use of the word inappropriate just gives off a gross connotation to the autistic person's behavior?

like why is the behavior inappropriate? what makes it inappropriate? because it's not like what allistic people do?

so is it actually inappropriate then? or is it irregular? abstract? different? even "abnormal" sound better than inappropriate to me

to me calling the behavior of autistic people inappropriate is dehumanizing because to me it implies the idea that autistic people don't know how to behave at all. like as if they can't understand what it means to do xyz.

but autistic people do know how to behave. they behave in a way that makes sense and is comfortable to them. it may not be what society scripted as they way to do something but i think to call it inappropriate is just wrong

I don't think some ppl understand that when disabled ppl say that it takes a lot of work to do something they're saying that it's a lot harder for them to do it than it is for you. To you it's a 20 minute task, for me it will take 2 hours minimum. All it takes from you to do it is cleaning supplies. Meanwhile it costs me a meltdown, very sore muscles, and 2 days of rest after. There's also a good chance I will forget to eat, drink, or use the bathroom while I'm doing it. When I say it's hard for me to do something I mean it's hard I don't mean that I don't want to do it.

Just got tone policed by another autistic person because they said no one should ever say a character is autistic that isn’t explicitly called autistic in a show or movie or book. That it “makes light of the struggles we have” because of our autism and it “makes people who aren’t autistic believe they are.” So they invalidated self diagnosis as well which I don’t approve of one bit. And when I said for example I feel like a lot of Anne Rice’s vampires show neurodivergent traits she said she’d read all the books and there weren’t any signs and treated me like a fucking idiot for saying it. Then accused me of being rude and condescending because I told her that she was allowed to be upset by it but she isn’t allowed to tell other autistic people what to do. What I really wanted to say was “this is a weird hill to die on but at least you’re dead.”
