I saw someone claim that transautistics steal resources, which is a common argument against transabled people in general. And, you know what, that really pisses me off. What resources, pray tell, are transautistics stealing from me? Disability payments that the government is not even giving to cisautistics like myself? School accommodations that I never really received? A financially inaccessible AAC device? Fucking stim toys? Why are we blaming transautistics for 'stealing resources' when these things are held over our heads by SOCIETY ITSELF?
I think that's part of what's so irritating about antis: they act like someone saying they're transautistic is on the same level as the psychiatric abuse, neglect by teachers, and lack of peer connection that I faced as an autistic entity growing up. And, make no mistake, it isn't.
