So long as mental disability remains conceived as a bipartisan, self-evidential problem—something we’re all meant to agree is a bad thing—ableism will always haunt transphobia. Disability stays the uncontested, supposedly neutral ground on which cissexism is sustained.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Disabled people are approximately 25% of the population.
Access for disabled people is not a debatable issue.
Access for disabled people is an imperative.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Ableism turns the human needs of disabled people into special needs.
Ableism then equates those special needs with being a burden.
No disabled person is a burden.

I don't see mental disability as my "hidden superpower". It makes it harder for me to do many things & doesn't make anything easier in exchange.

Can we embrace talking about mental disability without the toxic positivity & downplaying? There's no bright side to it for me.

I stand with the sole mask wearer at school, on the train or in the office, of those concerned about COVID's ongoing enormous death & morbidity toll, & of those looking for sustainable solutions through boosting, clean air & testing. Ignore the ridicule. Stay strong. You'll win.

For anyone who thinks abortion rights and trans rights aren't connected: Please consider that the guy who created bounty hunter laws allowing citizens to sue each over abortion, now wants to apply the same strategy to LGBTQ books in libraries

Is it back to normal or have you been fully abandoned by governments, asked to leave feelings of grief and unease unspoken, forced to return to unsafe working conditions and hustle culture, and given explicit permission to rescind care for people more vulnerable than you

@IZA_mazing_ You look SO good!

Boker Tov, Shavua Tov! Wishing you a happy and productive Monday filled with joy, and success. May you be blessed with strength, positivity, and growth opportunities in all that you do. "Make it a great day and make it a great week! Amen.

Intelligence is just a eugenicist framework for deciding which brains are superior or inferior socially and how those people are treated. But intelligence isn't an objective thing you could lack or have more of in your actual brain.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

Them: Lots of people are being misdiagnosed with autism because it seems it is now "in" to be autistic.

Me: No. People are finally discovering their very real MISSED diagnoses from childhood because better information about autism is being shared in accessible ways.

The last thing my trans student emailed me before they died by suicide was an op-ed they wrote to their local newspaper arguing for trans inclusion in highschool sports. They mentioned how cruel the comments from community members were. These annual "debates" hurt trans people.
