@themanschoolman@LeftismForU But the word WAS used to refer to developmentally delayed people in the 1950s, 60s, 70s & later. I know this cos my brother was delayed/autistic. ‘He’s retarded’ is the reply I learnt when people asked what was wrong with him. A harsh word still stings no matter the intention
@kabatya17171@FightsGuru Also if I was genuinely being chased down the street by TWO men I would be screaming for help. I’d be yelling out ‘help me, these guys are …. and they did ….. to me!!! Please call the police!!’ And a few more’ helps’ thrown in
@BadBoatBitch@salltweets I was also. I refused to wear a dress, didn’t want to play with dolls and loved climbing trees and rough housing with the boys. Am totally heterosexual and have thought about what might have happened to me also
