Yes. Some autistic people can pay taxes, write poems, live an independent life, etc.

But some of us cant. Some of us, like me, cant live independently. Cant be without someone. Cant be a member of society without extreme accommodation and help.

I need help in everyday life. I have a caregiver for gods sake. I need help in everyday life and will never be independent. It’s frustrating to constantly get comments about how autistic people can live independently. Cause some of us cant, and that needs to be talked about. I get sores from not showering enough. I get sores from my wheelchair. I have cavities from not brushing my teeth enough.

Life with higher support needs shouldn’t be something that is ignored and not talked about. My caregiver helps me live life as independently as possible. Independence looks different for everyone. Our caregivers are an extension of ourselves. Our caregivers are important and should be recognized. Stop throwing us under the bus for your “salvation”

We are all at risk, and throwing higher support needs people under the bus will not benefit you. You’re ruining years of advocacy by your words and videos.

the fact that any athlete can be subjected to "gender testing" on a whim because osmeone thinks she is too strong, too fast, just simply Too Good to be a woman is so fucking antifeminist, how can these people not see it?

There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.

This is the worst timeline. (x)

The biggest danger in rape culture is that there are so many rapists who don’t think that they’re rapists. “It wasn’t rape, she was making out with me earlier, it doesn’t matter that she’s drunk now.” “It wasn’t rape, I asked if I could kiss her and she said sure, what did she think would happen next?” “It’s not rape, she’s my wife.” “It’s not rape, he’s gay, he should thank me.” “It’s not rape, I told her she could either have sex with me or I would kill myself.” Rape awareness and consent education are crucial, because many many men casually commit sexual assault and don’t realize or won’t admit it because the culture has told them it’s okay, it’s normal, it’s just what guys do. There are rapists that are in denial about what they’ve done because they think they’re good people who would never hurt someone like that, they aren’t a rapist. ‘Not physically fighting back’ isn’t consent. ‘Not screaming and crying’ isn’t consent. ‘Not calling the police afterwards’ isn’t consent.

Actually feminists want you to shut the fuck up about how much you hate men and males. Yeah we voted. We decided it's actually super uncool to hate half of humanity due to something beyond their control.

Every post about intrusive thoughts needs at least 10 people per day to reblog it derailing and saying "it's ok to have intrusive thoughts so long as they're not about violence or sexual acts but instead perhaps a witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour's cat in a small village in the Alps..."

you people are so demonically fucking evil. really cool; i'm sure it reinforces nothing that you think that being afab allows you to be a better woman than a trans woman. thanks for examining why you think transfems can't fit the bar of femininity you're establishing by virtue of nothing more than you not being amab. really cool. hey what's up with the nazi comparison at the very end
