I Think (well, I Know) There's This Big Mix Up In Words Within The Disabled Community Where Some People

fondly remembering when pope francis said he hopes hell is empty. top pope francis moments. right up there with him saying some seminaries are too faggy

dear autistics who

white

low support needs

not need 24/7 support

can work independently

can pay taxes

language privileged

intellectual & cognitive privileged

who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)

when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who

radicalized & POC

from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support

visibly autistic

higher support needs

need 24/7 care

can’t work independently or even work at all

can’t pay taxes

nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC

w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities

who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try

because we always are & always will be primary target.

because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.

because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally

So after browsing the "transmisogyny" tag for a couple weeks and seeing the animosity towards trans men (and anybody who was AFAB in general), I decided to look into the "transandrophobia" tag that some transfeminists were decrying. Y'know, to see trans men's side of the story.

It only took a few minutes for me to see that most trans men who used that word were not doing what some were claiming they did.

They weren't remixing sexist MRA talking points or weaponizing their AGAB against trans women. They were just putting words to the specific axes of oppression they faced, and how they don't benefit from patriarchy like cis men do (society does not see them as men except for when it hurts them, like with the bathroom thing). This only becomes clearer to me the longer I browse the tag.

And this has left me confused about why some transfeminists are so angry at them. Is it because they've had bad experiences with trans men and assume all of them are like that? Are they taking posts by trans men talking about transandrophobia in bad faith due to paranoia that a world that's hostile towards us breeds? Do they just not understand? I don't get it.

As a trans woman myself, seeing all this fighting and vitriol over what seems to be misunderstandings is saddening.

The details, man. The DETAILS!! >w<

Hey!!

Just a reminder to all reconnecting Indigenous people, you are valid.

You're still Indigenous, even if you are "1/16th indigenous blood"

You're still Indigenous even if you don't "look" Indigenous

You're still Indigenous if you're mixed with black, white, etc.

You're still Indigenous if you tribe doesn't exist anymore

You're still Indigenous if your tribe is lesser known

You're still Indigenous if you don't have a tribe

You are still Indigenous!!

Even if you don't know your ancestors, they know you

Or if you aren't 100% indigenous, that doesn't make your ancestors disappear!

You can still reconnect and participate in your culture!!!

Please don't give up, you can do this ^^

you can't be a disabled ally without also supporting homeless people and addicts like it's just not possible

Quick sketch of my doomed boys maybe someday i will finish it
