help

@ThePlagueRattt @An_Aria_Blooms Eh yk actually you’re right, my bad. It probably would; hopefully less often and intensely, but it still would.

@GrabaTurk @An_Aria_Blooms Sex dysphoria then, my point stands

Transness isn't biologically imposed by your own body. You are a person, it is society that enforces gender onto you. This is queerness 101 lmao. Victim blaming ass tweet.

@justalilguyEEEE @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream And with that, people saying there’s no similarities and there’s no way to compare the two are being equally moronic.

@justalilguyEEEE @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream And in those ways, bullying is similar. In almost no other ways, obviously, but in those minuscule ways, they are similar. And yes, a lot of trans people are saying practically what you just said here, and they’re stupid and unhelpful to be doing that. It’s a bad comparison

@justalilguyEEEE @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream There are. You’d have to add a mountain of explanatory information to make the comparison sound, and it’s a useless point of comparison because of how much you’d have to expand upon it… But yeah. There are

@GrabaTurk @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream There are elements of bullying, and stubbing my toe that are comparable to rape.

@justalilguyEEEE @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream So I dislike the comparison, and it’s unhelpful. But likewise saying theres no comparison or similarities to think about is pretty obviously wrong. And its not diminishing of rape to say that. I think a lot of people making the comparison are more well reasoned than they let on

@justalilguyEEEE @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream Not really interested in a big back and forth so I’ll just say this: There are elements of being forced through puberty that are similar to being raped. Phrasing that as a direct comparison can be expanded upon to be a reasonable argument, but people aren’t doing that.

@ThePlagueRattt @An_Aria_Blooms Gender wouldn’t exist in a perfect society dawg

@An_Aria_Blooms Gender dysphoria would exist even in a perfect society

@justalilguyEEEE @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream I think I disagree with you because I think the comparison is valid; it just needs a lot of context. And it’s context that’s really hard to fit into a tweet, and I can’t help but feel it’s being intentionally left out to make it more “dramatic”

@GrabaTurk @Silas1042208 @_CelluloidDream It was forced, I didn't want it, and it made me sad. Same reasoning as them.

@Silas1042208 @justalilguyEEEE @_CelluloidDream Likewise yeah there’s a lot comparable between unwanted/forced puberty and rape, but explaining that comparison with just a single sentence is unbelievably unhelpful. It feels like people are being intentionally inflammatory to strike up discourse, not to make a real point

@Silas1042208 @justalilguyEEEE @_CelluloidDream I don’t think a comparison between bully and rape can be anything but obfuscating. There are comparable elements but saying “bullying is like rape to me”, is just super unhelpful. You’d need to do so much explaining to make the comparison useful, you might as well not even do it

@callieprime @supesbutch Most of the big posts are directly, unambiguously comparing puberty *to* rape which doesn’t even make sense under the definition you’re referring to

@callieprime @supesbutch That’s not what the word is used for anymore, and it’s not what the people saying it mean. If so, their argument when people say “that isn’t rape” would but what you’re saying. Not what they’re saying. Because they’re referring to rape as it’s used in the modern day

puberty for trans people is NOT RAPE. puberty for trans people CAN be violating and severely traumatic. puberty for trans people can have lasting impact on their body. control over trans people's access to puberty blockers is a form of taking bodily autonomy away from (1/)

@ginandkoosh @AliArthPainter Your previous statement that you wouldn’t struggle with autism if society was accommodating is still incorrect then Even when accommodated for, the struggles will still be struggles. It’s still a disability, just one with accommodations to make it less difficult

@GrabaTurk @AliArthPainter Accommodation does not mean you have no difficulties in life. It means you are given what you need to deal with them.

Someone just called me ableist because I pointed out that autism is a disability. It is a disability. I don't like the phrase 'suffers from autism', but it is accurate to say that I'd still struggle in an accessible society. The projection is off the chart.

@ginandkoosh @AliArthPainter Not all things can be accommodated for. You can’t fully accommodate for a dislike of changing routines, sometimes shit just happens and it’s difficult. Reasonable accommodation is the term used for a reason

@AliArthPainter If you are not accommodated, it isn't accessible.

@humanheart___ @dyinlevi Lisan Al-Badguy

@dyinlevi does that say bro killed SIXTY ONE billion people?????

Timothee Chalamet saying this line is going to have me crying in the theatre...

@NotGeorgebtw @steakmajam @teachrobotslove Like Down syndrome isn’t a socially constructed set of behaviors and symptoms we’ve decided to group together, it’s a discrete and specific thing. Autism is defined socially, but that doesn’t make it any less real or important or anything

@NotGeorgebtw @steakmajam @teachrobotslove The category of brain differences we recognize as autism are arbitrary and socially constructed yeah. The differences themselves aren’t like choices, or fake or whatever. That’s brain chemistry. But autism as a category of behaviors and differences is still socially constructed

Every depressed, anxious failure of a person on this website will tell you with total confidence they understand the secrets of existence, and every person with autism (A disorder that is defined by problems with socializing) will tell you they understand people better than anyone else.

@MRiggity @NaClyCem @danishacarterr Well sure it sucks but that doesn’t make it any less true that it’s good to do

@GrabaTurk @NaClyCem @danishacarterr My point is we try everyday, and yet we still get told we're doing it wrong and get looked at funny. Its exhausting

biweekly autistic people get on this app and pretend to be superior to others because they are “aWaRE tHat EVeRyOneS prEtENdInG” and refuse to do so.. and then two days later cry about how hard it is to make friends 💀 it’s almost as if everyone is aware socializing involves ‘pretending’ and we do it anyway because it’s how you create a space to form real + deeper connections

@MRiggity @NaClyCem @danishacarterr Do you disagree with the idea that as an autistic person it is good and beneficial to try to build social skills and connections? Because “you gotta try sometimes” is a pretty light version of the above

@NaClyCem @danishacarterr Attempting to be chatty is part of masking, a thing autistic people do every day that is actively detrimental to us

@DoomerTapes @tome835 @SlapLordActual Do you imagine liberals whimpering for you often? On hands and knees?

@tome835 @SlapLordActual Buddy you'd be wimperin like a liberal if you ever saw me!!
