“Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother's fate.”

Oh my god.

Missouri AG just essentially banned gender affirming care for most trans adults via emergency rule.

Requires 3 years of dysphoria, 18 months of therapy sessions, doesn't allow people with autism/depression.

This is what elimination of transgender people looks like.

If anyone has a secret mobile phone hidden from an abusive partner, remember to switch off emergency alerts, or the phone will be activated with the loud alert on the evening of 23/04. I think this government action is misguided for a few reasons
Please retweet to notify friends.

One of the many reasons why autistic self-ID is valid! I've known I'm autistic for almost two decades but I won't be pursuing a medical Dx until I can be sure it will never impact my ongoing access to HRT and other gender affirming care.

The person who was once the most powerful man in the world, and who is trying to be so again, announced he plans to enact a transgender genocide if he does so. Check you trans friends, and know that we need you to not just be caring, but stand and fight alongside us.

When you call a disabled person “special” or “special needs,” it is not a compliment.
It is devaluation and segregation.
Disability is not inferiority.

[Raising Unmasked Autistic Kids @EleniTWehner]

Using guilt to parent any child is unhealthy.
Using guilt to parent an autistic child is dangerous.
Many autistics struggle deciphering social nuances.
The, "Ava will be sad if you don't go to her party" of today may be the, "Tim will be upset if you don't have sex" of tomorrow.

One of my many crazed medical opinions is that any patient going under general anesthesia for surgery should be allowed to bring an observer/representative who will be present in the operating room to ensure that their body is treated with respect

[Maayan Ziv @maayanziv]

If you're not comfortable SAYING "disabled" or "disability" how will you ever be comfortable actually WITH disability?

None of that "differently abled" stuff please.

[𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖔𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖆 @cestlaluxure]

Actually, children knowing the correct names of body parts is one of the factors that protects them from sexual abuse
I've said this once, I'll say it again, the only people who want children's ignorance are the ones who intend to take advantage of it

the time is always ripe to talk about GETTING COPS OUT OF TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT. every part of the experience of driving would be safer. traffic stops are the most common encounter between civilians and cops! also police use them to extract money from people, esp poor people!

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

“You have special needs.”
“You’re not disabled. You’re differently abled.”
“Don’t say disabled. Say handicapable.”

Euphemisms for “disabled” are the product of society’s discomfort with and devaluation of disabled
people.
Euphemisms are ableism.

Just learned if you’re registered to vote in TX and forgot to change your current address/county (like myself🙈), ask for a limited ballot and you’re still able to cast your vote by the end of the day!!
