"i do x because of my autism."
"don't use your autism as an excuse."
i am not. i am giving them a reason as to why i word things in a certain way. i am giving them a reason why i think/perceive things in a certain manner. i am giving them a reason why i am never on time. why i need them to be more specific than that. why i did not understand what they meant. why getting out of bed is sometimes the hardest thing i can do that day. i am giving them a reason why i cannot eat certain foods, touch certain things or why i need something to be a certain way. i am giving them a reason why i do not like people. why i do not like going to certain places.
i am not using my autism as an excuse. i am merely giving you a reason why.
Transgender and Muslim solidarity. We face the same threats, and the overlap in our communities cannot be neglected.
can’t wait until white liberals/leftists stop making anti theist jokes and shitty takes and realise that there are plenty of queer muslims/jews/Christians that would much rather you lot actually listened to us and helped us rather than make dumb jokes about s*t*n when we talk about our problems/trauma. Allah isn’t homophobic/transphobic/racist/sexist if only you idiots actually listened to us maybe you would gain some appreciation for Abrahamic religions.

i received some hateful words on Instagram from a fellow Muslim. the usual "oh you're not fasting for Ramadan? Don't be Muslim then." and also the usual "queer Muslims don't exist." I try not to let these things bother me. I ended up blocking this person because I really don't need that energy in my life. It just got me thinking.
I'll never be the "ideal" Muslim. Never. I'll never be able to pray 5 times a day. I'll never be able to fast for Ramadan (not because I don't want to. I do want to. I have health issues that prevent me from doing so.) I'll never be seen as valid because I'm queer. I'll never be able to give up certain spiritual practices i had in the past. I'll never be accepted by the general Muslim community.
And as much as I want to ignore all the people saying I can't be Muslim because of so and so, it makes me wonder if they're right. I'm trying my best.
we are constantly stimming

queer revert muslim culture is never being taken seriously when you defend yourself because you’re a revert and you’re “invading Islam and changing it on purpose”
