My Thoughts On Autigender

I actually found out about Autigender the other week. I had to laugh! As an autistic person who is biologically a male but falls on the girly side of the gender spectrum, Autigender angers the living shit out of me. Not just Autigender but just how far this gender crap has gone as a whole. While Autism can affect people’s perspections of the world and to an extent affects how they percieve gender, to claim Autism as an actual gender in and of itself especially if you're not autistic is taking the absolute mick out of both gender and Autism which is a fricking difference in neurology. While I do believe gender to be a vast, complex and beautiful thing that is widely misunderstood, this isn’t it. This rush to make EVERYTHING a gender issue has come to the point when even Autism and bloody mental illnesses in general are “cute” and “adorable things” to try on by neurotypical people completely misunderstanding the situation. While I would never feel so audacious as to call them "neurotypical scum" since that is ableism in another form and disrespectful to my neurotypical family, friends and all my supporters, it's certainly a desperate and quite a low/dispeciable thing to do. Need I remind people that mental illnesses including depression leads to people KILLING themselves? And that autistic people like me suffer from really bad depression/anxiety/internal hatred? It’s no wonder we live in a world where me and my fellow people with autism are being misunderstood every day when we have this to put up this. These people should be absolutely disgusted with themselves for taking this desire to be the special snowflake of the day to unlogical extremes. Before I'm accused of being biogted and having internalised ableism, I am coming at this from somebody struggling with gender and to a lesser extent their Autism and I am not normally one to critise people for their gender. If you identify as Autigender AND are actually autistic then that's perfectly fine IMO and I will support you as a fellow Aspie and I think you are an absolute star for speaking out and refusing to be silenced. I may not personally identify as such but if your genuine autism affects your gender that much that you feel the need to gender yourself as such, then that's perfectly reasonable. As long as you respect how my Autism affects me, then I will not critise you for identifying you as Autigender and will support you in any way I can. Aspies unite! But this lengthy rant is about the neurotypical, mentally well people wearing Autism and mental illness as the latest “in” gender in order to get attention. Yes, these are the same people who we tend to refer to as special snowflakes. Yes, these are the very same people who will gender ANYTHING. In cases like that, there isn’t even an actual gender TO critise there. Also, if we could not put these self-made maytrs without a cause on a massive pedastle (which seems to be a trend on the #autigender tags) then I and probably a lot of my fellow Aspies whenever they identify as Autigender or not would greatly appricate it. And for the record, autistic people can have different sexualities and genders. But Autism isn’t a gender in and of itself if it's just your neurotypical victim complex talking. Next thing you’ll know, we’ll have people turning death into a gender even though they're actually alive! I know I'll probably get a lot of hate for this and that this isn't exactly the most popular opinion but this is me standing up for myself as well as my fellow people with Autism who are starting to get sick of the reckless and potentially lethal misrepesentation going on and I am not letting my voice be silenced by neurotypical "experts" who actually know nothing about either gender nor Autism. Yes we are not living in an eternal state of oppression but Autism is a widely misunderstood condition, many of us have had to go through bullying and critism our whole lives and THIS is quite frankly doing EVERYTHING to make it worse. Absolutely disgusting and completely rediculous. To sum all this up: if you identify as having autigender or any other gender defined by nurological differences/mental illnesses without having the actual condition, then you are clearly happy to use marglinzed populations to boost your own victim complex and are clearly a sad, horrible and pathetic person.

Taylor/Calvin Harris Drama over “This Is What You Came For”

Y’all this is so funny to me. Today (July 13th) Taylor Swift reps let loose that Taylor actually wrote on Calvin & Rihanna’s hit single under the Swedish pseudonym "Nils Sjöberg.“ Now that Tay and Cal are broken up, why not stir up some drama while making sure that Taylor gets all the credit she deserves?

Calvin actually confirmed this news on Twitter, obviously trying to head off any angry Swifties, by saying that she was the one who wanted to keep her influence a secret.

He then turned it back on Taylor, asking, if she was so happy in her new relationship, why was she trying to drag him?

Shots are being FIRED.

Hi Emma. I love your music/channel and I'm interested in if there's any music-related projects in the works. I know the EP has just come out but every track on it is brilliant and I just wanted to know if perhaps an album's in the works. Thanks! ☺☺☺☺

Trying to write more music. Musically confused right now. What sound do I want? Not sure. Writing with friends in a few weeks. We’ll see how it goes.

"The Middle" IS a good song!

Remember net neutrality? That vital, democratic framework for keeping the internet open to everyone? You fought with us to introduce it as the law of the land, and then you fought with us again to make sure sure Congress didn’t undo it.

And now there’s been an update: Today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the FCC’s proposed rules for internet providers. It’s an important milestone for permanently protecting the internet you know and love.

You had a big hand in making this happen, Tumblr. Congrats.

The fight’s not over just yet. This could still go to the Supreme Court. Something to keep in mind when you vote this November, and something we’ll keep you updated on as the situation develops.

This Is brilliant, not just for the USA but also for the internet-connected world!

I still can’t get over Christina Grimmie’s death. Never, in a million years, did I think I’d be blogging about something like this regarding her. I was looking forward to when her full-fledged album would come out just so I could hear even more from the singer I watched growing up. Seven years I’ve followed her–I watched her go from making covers in some dimly lit corner of her bedroom with Sonic the Hedgehog posters, to performing in The Voice finals, to watching her soar even higher and knowing she was going to be a superstar someday. She grew from this talented, bright young girl to this beautiful and wonderful young woman, and I grew up with her, watching her videos and listening to her music.

But now she’s dead. People have been telling me all day, “Don’t cry. It’s sad, but you didn’t really know her. People die all the time.” Alright, fine, perhaps that’s true. But this girl has been an inspiration to me from day one, there’s never been a time I haven’t followed her, there has never been a time when she and her music deserted me when I needed it most. Sometimes, a voice in the dark is all you need to light the way home. Regardless if I’ve never met her, regardless if I never got the privilege to know her for the truly amazing person I know she was, I can still cry because this beautiful person was taken in one of the cruelest ways possible, for no reason at all, and her voice will never bring me home again. I will never get the chance to see her in concert, I will never get to see her vibrant smile on a new Youtube video, and I will never get to hear her sing again. She is simply gone, dead. And it wasn’t the, “Oh some famous person died again. Yadda, yadda,” that people have been preaching to me all day. It’s more than that.

Christina Grimmie was a 22-year-old girl with the brightest future possible. Years ago, she sat in her bedroom and sang songs with Sonic the Hedgehog behind her. Some time later, she took the stage, and I got to see how far she had come. This year, she was touring, and could have possibly released a full-length album. She was going to be a rockstar someday, and everyone knew it. In fact, she was already a rockstar for me. But then it was all ruined.

Christina Grimmie was murdered. She was shot in cold blood after a concert when she was meeting with fans. She didn’t just die–she was murdered. No one can sugarcoat this. A young woman was murdered. She was killed. She was shot, and she died because of it. She was murdered. That’s the real tragedy in it all. To watch her, this candle, burn brighter and brighter, just about to shine the brightest it ever could, the brightest it was always meant to burn, to suddenly be snuffed out, just a quick blow, and the light is gone. It’s extinguished, and you have no lighter or matches to relit it, it’s just gone. You will never see it shine again. A man came along, for no reason whatsoever, and murdered Christina Grimmie. He snuffed out her candle. And it’s not like we can take a match and relight her. There will never be another Christina. We can’t bring her back to life.

She was murdered. She was killed before she got the chance to fully shine. We can’t bring her back. This is all such a god damn shame, and I just… God damn it, I’m still at a loss for words.

I don’t know what else to say.
