Tumblr for years on end: You can't use that word to describe yourself, it's a slur! Don't say that word, some people find it triggering. That word's actually a slur too. Thst one isn't but the way you're using it is. If you've ever used this word, I don't trust you. Support marginalized people!

A Mentally Ill Person: Could people maybe consider not using my disorder to mean "abuser," and/or not telling people with the disorder that their mental illness makes them evil?

Tumblr, disappointing but not surprising:

(Names left on because fuck 'em, they deserve for people to know that they're Like This, but if I catch any of you going out of your way to pick a fight I'll eat your fucking skin.)

I think the reason that nonbinary people choose “weird” names is because it’s easier to identify with a word that hasn’t been given any gendered context, rather than picking one that is in the ever changing realm of androgyny. So, more traditional names like Rylee, Alex, Max, Terry, and others deemed to be gender neutral get pushed aside because it’s either Alex in a boy kind of way or Alex in a girl kind of way and people usually just default to your assigned gender at birth. However names like Teeth, Socks, Meat, and Off are a lot harder to assign a gender to since they’ve never been used as names at all. We invented language for ourselves when the world didn’t, and we chose our names to be completely original and personal. It’s beautiful really, it reflects the unique experience of disregarding a system that limits you. And I love that.

[ID: six square images that are all digitally drawn

first image: the text ‘my profile is a safe space for trans people’ in all caps with the word ‘trans’ bigger than the rest and in the colors of the trans flag. there are two tiny trans flags on either side of the image

second image: the text ‘…or anyone in the lgbtq+ community, for that matter’ also in all caps with lgbtq+ being bigger than the rest and in the colours of the pride flag

third image: the text ‘i will respect your pronouns & names’ in all caps again. the word respect is bigger than the other words, in yellow and with two yellow hours on either side of it. on the bottom there are two people- one person with very short black hair and a cap smiling and a speech bubble that says ‘my pronoun is they/them’ and the other person with long black hair in a ponytail saying ‘cool beans’ while also smiling

fourth image: the text ‘i will apologize if i misgendered you’ in all caps with ‘apologize’ bigger, in blue text and with some sweat drops around the word. on the bottom there are two people- the first person has short black hair with curtain bangs (one side bigger than the other) looking upset and saying ‘hey, please don’t call me [dead name] i’m [actual name]’ and the second person being the same person with long black hair in a ponytail looking regretful and saying ‘i’m sorry! i will do better [actual name]’

fifth image: the text ’i will be discreet because who you’re comfortable being open with is not for me to decide’ in all caps yet again with discreet being bigger, in green text and with two green locks beside the word. on the bottom there is a person with long wavy hair (the colour is unidentifiable since there are no colours) with two space buns winking, smiling and giving w thumbs up to the same second person who is also winking, smiling, and giving a thumbs up. the second person has a zip in place of the mouth.

sixth image: the text ‘only you get to decide who you truly are’ with the text not in caps this time except for both of the ‘you’s which are in all caps and pink. on the top of the image there are the trans pride flag and the regular pride flag.

Antivaxxers were stood outside my school today for about an hour with signs & the teachers had to tell kids not to walk home where they were stood cause they were trying to talk to minors.

They got real mad when I asked them if looking like a pedo was really the best way to get folk to believe their BS.

Maybe don’t wait outside schools for kids to come out to try & talk to them if you don’t wanna be accused of being a nonce 🤷🏻

Hey all! Recently gotten into a debate with someone about why it’s not a particularly lovely idea to make jokes about “those attention seekers” that use crutches or joint supports...

Can you do me a favour and like or reblog this if you have ever had rude comments made to you (as a disabled person) about your supports/mobility aids that has made you feel uncomfortable or self conscious?

Trying to prove a point that “well we only say it about the actual attention seekers!” absolutely does not work as you have no way of knowing why someone needs an aid.

[witching-hourglass]

so. many. times. and i’ve only been visibly disabled (using aids) for about a year so...

[ehlers-world-problems]

Yep. I've used some form of wrap/brace since I was 14 and every time I use anything visible I get comments on how I "don't need to draw attention to it."

Can't wait to hear all about how I don't really need a feeding tube, too.

You know how wheelchair user is the appropriate term for someone who uses a wheelchair. Is it still okay to use “bed bound”? For someone who is no longer safe / appropriate for them to be moved from their bed? E.g. someone with MS who has paralysis from shoulders down.

If it’s not appropriate, what is the correct terminology?

I haven’t talked to many people in said situation, so I don’t feel I would be able to give an appropriate answer based on a lack of proper knowledge.

But I’m sure there’s others that are that could give you a better answer, I’d try looking at some of the disabled tags on tumblr or Twitter :)

[chronicallyghastly]

Not so friendly reminder to stop calling wheelchair users, “Wheelchair Bound”.

They’re not fucking chained to their wheelchair, they’re not being held hostage by some invisible force to stay in the chair. Wheelchairs are not a prison for their users.

Wheelchairs are lifesavers, not some evil thing stealing away innocent people’s mobility because wheelchairs give those users their mobility back.

[goluxexmachina]

“Person who uses a wheelchair” is the generally accepted term, to my knowledge.

[chronicallyghastly]

That or “Wheelchair user”.

[Image Descriptions: A tweet from Alice Wong saying: "The delights of being disabled: I found out the BiPap machine I use at night and day (both models) are RECALLED (US only). Due to disintegrating foam inside!! That people...who need respiratory support...are breathing in." A retweet from Erik Ekins (QueerlyAutistic) saying: "The fact that people are finding this out through Twitter, about the machines that literally help/enable them to breathe."]

SIGNAL BOOST for anyone who needs to see this:

Here's a link to the recall page:

Sleep and respiratory care update | Philips

Sleep and respiratory care updates

[ducktoothcollection]

Current as of June 14, 2021. Tweets are from June 15 and June 16, this reblog is on the 18th.

Also, the tweet says "recalled (U.S. Only)" but the article says "recall notification (U.S. only) / field safety notice (International Markets)", so I'm guessing it's not that only machines sold in the U.S. have this problem, just that the terminology of the required warning varies country to country. This is probably worth looking at even if you're outside the U.S.

happy pride month! here’s a reminder that we won’t have true marriage equality until disabled people are able to get married without losing their benefits. don’t exclude disabled people from your activism!

[wormworker]

"When I said [ableist joke], I didn't mean disabled people! I meant everyone else!"

Yeah, that's kinda... part of the problem.

Like, you consider disability justice to be so irrelevant & you think about it so little that you continue to normalize ableist language, concepts, & practices.

And then you turn around & say that you weren't talking about us. You didn't specifically mean us.

Of course you didn't mean disabled people. Because you never think about disabled people. We're not part of humanity to you. We're outside the narrow capacity of your consideration.

[chronicallyghastly]

Being “gender critical” (a transphobe) is now legally protected under the fucking equality act in the UK.

The hashtag “sex not gender” is trending in the UK too.

Being trans in the UK is so bleak. I don’t understand why people hate us so much.

[queerpontmercy]

less “if you see a man and woman together at pride be nice! they could be bi/pan/trans/ace/aro” and more “stop gendering strangers to harass them anywhere, but especially at pride holy shit”

[queerpontmercy]

you know what? i want this to reach the people who do this– especially the ones claiming to support trans folk (usually in really hollow ways lol i’m not bitter). keep reblogging– i want this sentiment to be widespread and for people to stop gendering strangers! especially in explicitly LGBTQ+ spaces!
