I'm old enough to remember computer lab classes in the mid-2000s that gave us kids at the time internet safety lessons. One of the most emphasized "rules" was to never give your exact age or anything pointing to it (including a birth year in your username) online. Something to keep in mind with Discord deciding to jump on the age verification smokescreen to bleed every single user dry for their personal information, predicated on placating conservative whining about "Protect the kids!" because no one wants to argue against that.

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

just watch

[alpaca-clouds]

I am honestly also so weirded out how people just internalized that kids are just dumb. People will just parrot this idea of "minors are not neurologically developed", and like... no one who is parroting this has actually read any neurology paper on brain development, or actually knows anything of what is actually developing and what is not.

And I just have so much hatred for people who parrot ideas without even putting effort into understanding them. If you actually read the associated papers, you would know actually what abilities do develop over time. But you would also know that a lot of how those abilities develop and at what point is actually very clearly bound to culture, and cultures that do not treat minors like things actually generally show different brain development in them. Because, guess what: brains develop very dependent on cultural context.

Those same people also do not get why adultification and parentification are actually a problem. Spoiler alert: it ain't because you let kids make decisions, it is because of the pressure, the expectation to perform and often associated emotional neglect.

[imjunebitch]

when we "lose" a cis butch woman because he becomes a trans man or masc you should actually say such things as yay, yippee, or hooray.

[avenrose]

i think us schizo-spec folk need to reclaim the term schizoposting

[staticbluue]

“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.

I’m starting a rumor

always doing something annoying

[pangur-and-grim]

can I be honest? I was so pissed off by friends and family criticizing my soap choice that, for half a year, I did an experiment where I washed one hand with Palmolive and one with handsoap, to prove that it didn't make your skin any rougher. and do you know what the result is? it does make your skin rougher. and now I'm even more pissed off.

[submissivefeminist]

I love you, fat men. I love you, hairy men. I love you, trans men. I love you, short men. I love you, feminine men. I love you, queer men. I love you, disabled men.

I love you, men who don't love yourselves yet.

please stop treating the word neurodivergent like it means the overlap between autism and adhd

[kamlo]

i dont know how to articulate this well but some of you act like neurodiversity starts with adhd and ends with autism. you talk about "the neurodivergent experience" and everytime you mean "the overlapping experience of adhd and autism."

please remember us when talking about neurodiversity. ocd, dyslexia, dyscaculia, personality disorders, tourettes, intellectual disabilities, schizo-spec disorders, etc. all fall under neurodiversity.

please stop saying neurodivergent when you mean "autism and adhd."

this post is okay to reblog but do not clown on it

[autisticghostss]

hate when i say “i can’t do [thing] because of my autism” and hear (usually lower support needs) autistics say “well i’m forced to do [thing] so i have to” in response.

there will be autistics who never can do [thing] no matter how forced, no matter how punished, no matter how anything.

i can’t force myself to do [thing] i can’t do. not ever.

many autistics like me.

especially hate hearing autistics say “well if i didn’t do [thing] i would get abused” as if we autistics also didn’t get abused, except we still couldn’t do [thing].

you are dismissing higher support needs autistic who are or have been abused.

* [thing] here can be literally anything, doing chores, eye contact, speaking, socialising, get good grades in school etc.

[scramratz]

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be free” men CAN get pregnant and they’re treated worse than women who can get pregnant

[scramratz]

oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men

[loveless-arobee]

Hey, you, trans guy. You’re allowed to be gay btw. You don’t have to be attracted to women to be a "real man". You’re not a "confused cishet girl" because you’re attracted to men. You’re not "conversion therapy" for "real gay men". You’re not faking being trans "for attention". Your attraction to men doesn’t make you any less of a man.

The goes doubly so for trans men who are, especially exclusively or mainly, attracted to other trans men. Anyone who uses your attraction to trans men as "proof" that you must also be, or actually are, attracted to women is just showing their whole transphobic ass by implying, or outright stating, that trans men are "basically women" or a type of women. Which should just tell you that you can throw out all their opinions on trans men from the get-go.
