I’m watching The Big Bang Theory in its natural setting—playing in the background of a hot spiral room—and I can say within that specific context, it is a very charming show. Like the saltine crackers of media.

Hospital room. A hospital room. Not a hot spiral room. What a nightmare idea. And you all rolled with that idea. The idea that I was sitting in a hot sweltering spiral prison watching the Big Bang theory is actually what hell is. Bazinga.

If you want to know what it’s like being trans just imagine yourself exactly as you are but everyone else sees you as someone else and if you correct them they may kill you.

this this this. honetly like we need to reframe the entire discussion around trans issues becuse the problem is not trans people, it eeryone else. young trans kids dont get bullied bc theyre trans they get bullied bc other people teach their shitty kids to hate trans people

Also this brings up a really good point I have found. If you are trying to educate a cis person (particularly if they’re also straight) about what it means to be trans, they will often get baffled because they picture suddenly choosing to adopt another gender and it seems absurd to them.

My aunt was having a really difficult time grasping what it was like to be trans, because she could not envision any circumstance in which she would want to “become a man.” I told her to instead imagine that she was the same person she is now, but had been raised as a boy against her will and treated as one throughout her life. Then everything clicked for her and she has turned out to be a great ally ever since!

Theyre right and they should say it.

Chills. I can't imagine my own high school showing up like this less than a decade ago to protest disgusting legislation like Florida's Don't Say Gay bill. The support Gen Z shows for the LGBTQ community is breathtaking.

The fight goes on. Keep it up.

I think you all need to know the consequences of this brave action.

The kid who started the walkout at the original school was indefinitely suspended, even though he had permission for the demonstration (their excuse is that he got permission for the walkout, but not for the little Pride flags he handed out). Other participating kids at other schools have similarly been punished.

Teachers who supported students walking out are also being punished, fired, blacklisted from working at other schools.

Homophobic kids are ratting out their fellow students and teachers for supporting the walkout to get them in trouble with school administrations.

The consequences are continuing.

So yes, applaud this - this is great, and it’s brave, and it’s inspiring. But be aware of what the reaction has been.

My favorite thing about disability culture is that you’re never supposed to feel abandoned. It feels like that a lot with non-disabled people. My first week of college, I was led to an orientation, and it was on the second floor. And I asked an advisor where the elevator was. He said he didn’t know, shrugged, and turned away. I looked at him, and I realized, this person does not care about me. And I looked at all the other students walking up the stairs, and I thought, these people do not care about me.

I’m watching Crip Camp right now, and I’m crying, because those disabled people occupied the 4th floor to get rights for me, and they worked together to figure out how to get necessities to each other. They took care of each other. Disabled people don’t have the flaw of pretending we’re independent. No one is independent, disabled or nondisabled. Freedom isn’t created by independence, it’s created by interdependence.

I just want to repeat this because it is so poignant.

Freedom isn’t created by independence, it is created by interdependence.

Freedom exists in our social relations and how we structure it decides how free we are. Disability is socially constructed because the world is designed only for people who look, act and think in a specific way. For everyone else, the struggle is to assimilate as individuals.
