Reminder that telling a headmate to change an aspect of their identity or self to be "less problematic" is dehumanising as fuck. You can't go around doing that shit. It's entirely a you issue if you can't handle a headmate having an identity, they're not responsible for your issues or required to morph themselves into something you can swallow. Fictives, factives, people with number names, nonhumans who are "scary", headmates who are queer while the body isn't, headmates who are queer in a different way to the body, disabled headmates, etc.

You can't tell a singlet to change their entire name because you think it's problematic. You can't tell a singlet to hide their gender or sexuality because it "doesn't match" their body. You can't tell a singlet to change or hide their entire damn identity because you don't like it. You can't tell a singlet to stop having days where they experience disordered symptoms.

If the headmate in question is acting respectful, treat them with some god damn respect. It doesn't MATTER if they "match" the body. They're just as much of a person as any singlet is. You cannot convert someone into being something they're not.

My parents taught me that it's disrespectful for a child to speak to an adult a certain way.

If the goal was to teach me respect, they could have taught me that it's disrespectful for any person to speak to any person that way, explained why, and modeled the correct way to speak to people. I would have easily believed them with zero difficulty.

But what they wanted is power. Everything they said about "teaching me respect" was just a bullshit excuse.

Forsaken art dump!

Reminder that Eurovision hosted its 2019 show on top of the destroyed Palestinian village of Al Shaykh Muwannis 71 years after it’s Palestinian residents were completely ethnically cleansed. Eurovision was willingly complicit in the continued oppression and ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

There IS better autism research they could be doing, like trying to discover other medications that help with sensory issues and quality of life problems and trying to get better childhood diagnosis rates for autistic girls. But no, the decades long useless search to find out what causes autism and how to eliminate it continues. The push for “autism research” is never really about how to make things better for autistic people, it’s about how to make autistic people stop existing and that is nottttt possible. But they’ll continue to fixate on it.

Woohoo

Shellay!!
