Not to be sincere on the TL but my friend is autistic, and she was venting to me about how upset she is that people are refusing to vaccinate their kids just because "they would never want their kid to be like me" and when she said that my heart broke into a billion fuckin pieces
Tomorrow is Day 1 of my first res life training in about 4 years, and I was hired two days after pro staff training started and missed a lot, so RIP to me 😅✌️
@AshHardell Cis people being relieved when we choose to present more feminine as if we do it for their comfort rather than our expression, or as if that negates our transness/makes it okay to slip into misgendering and feminizing
someone asked why I dislike "folx" instead of "folks" and the x is so othering. Folks is already gender neutral and encompassing, the x becomes this fully dehumanizing metaphor.
I had a K-12 job interview this morning and was asked how I would help an autistic student mid-meltdown. I disclosed I’m autistic - something I would *never* do unless I feel it’s necessary.
I was not only praised - I was thoroughly supported AND offered the job on the spot. 😭
