@tange38185@___TheGOOdWitch Pro life people tend to vote for the party that blocks free school lunch for poor children, bombs children in the middle east, and demonizes the homeless. You used a slur in your response so not sure you know a lot about being generous and caring
@micasoless@chronicpeaches@FabledEggnog@samschlong_ No one argued against women's autonomy in this thread, again and again you made heated comments to people who were simply suggesting more resources for disabled children are needed
@quilibrium8@AuraMaraj@fatho3000 Respecting me for once, trying to talk and get to know me, asking for insights and taking my opinion seriously, and it's so weird bc I'm not interested in socializing (though I'm open minded with autistic folks) but yeah. Makes me think of Kafka's Before the Law
@quilibrium8@AuraMaraj@fatho3000 I think at some point it kinda felt like my social life reached a finality. Like I had stayed alone for too long and prepared myself for long-term solitude. At the same time I started to feel like I really loved myself. I found fulfillment in my labor. Eventually people started
@quilibrium8@AuraMaraj@fatho3000 I was at a point where I was starting to place firmer boundaries and was cutting people out of my life who were not good for me, but not making new friends while doing so and so my social life was crumbling and I legit think I people woulda ended it all if I kept trying to fit in
@AuraMaraj@fatho3000 I wasn't claiming the NT men were better, honestly they probably let the autistic women hang with them because neurotypical women don't hang out with them, and I imagine the dynamic is weird
@A448050@MariGO2thepolls Surveillance state, a gov could easily make this kind of thing mandatory. And the thing is even if some people are not doing it out of a distaste for DS children, this kind of thing will pave the way for people who want to cleanse society of neurodiverse people. People have tried
@A448050@MariGO2thepolls People, even in a hypothetical where costs were covered, would say okay to a child with down syndrome. I don't think many NT people understand how profound ableism is. I appreciate personal autonomy, but this kinda technology could lead to eradication of neurotypes. In a
@NR478680394053@nevroticna I bet you also spot autistic people still in that phase lol. Their internal ableism is so high they don't have it in them to talk to another autistic person. I used to be this way tbf but now that I'm out of it I spot it so quick in others
@quilibrium8@AuraMaraj@fatho3000 Can look better to others and feel better about themselves, but never an actual friend bc we just don't have that kinda social capital. This goes for hanging out with both neurotypical men/women. It's best to stick it out alone or with other autistics
@quilibrium8@AuraMaraj@fatho3000 I mean I have to an extent, but I still experience ableism at the end of the day and it's not worth it. You're either a jester meant to act okay with their laughs/slights, a consoling device to accept for who they are but not be accepted, or something to do charity unto so they
