Some Autistic People Will Never Be Able To Have A Job Or Live Alone, Some Women That Are Transvestigated

@ missionaries and christian charities everywhere: charity that forces religious conversion or religious obligation to access (potentially life-saving) services is not charity. if there are strings attached, especially religious ones, all you've done is create a high-control trap for the most vulnerable

A message to my fellow undiagnosed / diagnosis complicated autistics:

It’s sad that I even have to say this but please do not just say “Glad I never got diagnosed” and abandon the autistic community. Even though you are not put on the registry, you are still a part of the community and you can’t just “check out” because it will affect you either way. Even if hypothetically it somehow never affected you, just ignoring what is happening and potentially going to happen to autistic people is allowing fascism to continue. You know it’s eugenics, and standing by and watching them strip the privacy rights of people without doing anything, betraying your fellow autistics and allowing them to face eugenics while you do nothing for “comfort” will cause extreme harm. Staying silent is not being “neutral” or “staying out of it”, it’s death. We must stand with and fight with our diagnosed autistic siblings, especially those with high support needs. Now is not the time to ditch the community for “safety”, now is the time to fight.

One thing you can do right now is contact your representative and express your opposition for the registry and the taking of medical files from diagnosed autistics without their consent.

for whoever needs to hear this:

starting HRT doesn't have to be a huge momentous all-or-nothing decision. you can just try it like you would an antidepressant you've been informed of the risks of.

there won't be any immediate irreversible changes overnight. you can always stop, change your dose, change your delivery system, decide it's not the right time. you can even microdose if you want to.

you don't have to tell anyone. you don't have to announce it if you don't want to.

stop waiting for a perfect time in your life because it won't come.

stop waiting to reach a mythical level of certainty that never comes to anyone, for anything.

you've been thinking about it long enough. if you have the opportunity, just give it a shot. you're worth the courage it takes to make a change in your life.

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

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 shouldn’t have to be trans to get any sex characteristic-related surgery. It’s not a limited resource. Plenty of cis men get implants and cis women get breast reductions. From Colby Gordon today and Leslie Feinberg in Transgender Warriors (1996).

"if tumblr dies you can find me on bluesky" "if tumblr dies you can find me on Instagram" if tumblr dies you cannot find me. It's over. I'm free.

A+ example of how the media manipulates people for clicks and anger engagement.
