The r-slur is targeted at intellectually disabled people. It’s not something for you to reclaim. When people call non-intellectually disabled autistic people that, the insult is that they’re comparing them to intellectually disabed people.

We know that human brains are still developing until around 26 years old

this isn’t true by the way.

The human brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, does not reach “full maturity” or "full development at any particular age (e.g. 16, 18, 21, 25, 30). Changes in structure and myelination of gray matter are recorded to continue with relative consistency all throughout life including until death. Different mental abilities peak earlier or later in life.

Text taken from wikipedia’s list of common misconceptions. Here’s a study on how the brain changes throughout life!

God I can’t wait to not have periods anymore

I’ve had people misgender me and try to convince me not to transition and then go claim to be trans allies because they don’t call people slurs and will say that killing trans people is bad if asked

And then gets hate crimed, because that is what happens to trans men in women’s restrooms, rather than all the transphobes going “oh no, please bring back the trans women”

Oh holy fuck that thread is rancid

trans man attacked and then arrested for using the women’s room, 2022

I lie to therapists because I’m homicidal 🌚

People expect us to march in and bear the brunt of transphobia to defend the rights of trans women

“Just send in the trans men” is not a fucking solution. It suggests that we can just walk into the ladies room and go “oh, but I have a vagina, I’m supposed to be here!” and they’ll be like “ah damn, I guess you can go ahead”. Transmascs have been beaten, arrested, and even murdered trying to use the women’s room. We aren’t your human shields, we’re in just as much danger

Woman testosterone man elevated never vagina

This is good because I am under fucking attack

I can delete other people’s comments on my tumblr posts

anyway apparently the wikipedia page for okra is marked red

Don’t like it. I know a lot of people who got marked red because of some personal drama, or for things they used to believe but no longer do, and they keep getting accused of being transphobic with no other reason than being marked red on shinigami eyes. Plus I don’t agree with the guidelines on what counts as transphobic, like it says afab transfem is a transphobic troll identity that should be marked red, but afab transfem and amab transmasc are actual identities used by intersex people who have a more complicated relationship with their asab

The article: (and sometimes transgender men) LOL totally jpst a rare exception ig

Lmao the terfs are telling me to kill myself on tumblr because I said trans & intersex people should have abortion rights. This proects women or whatever

It’s not about “maturity” or “protecting kids”, they don’t want anyone to transition. They just focus on youth because it’s easier to take human rights away from people who have less rights already.

I remember being 15 and I had severe tooth pain and my parents refused to take me to a dentist for a year straight because teeagers are just whiny and dramatic. I ended up having four teeth removed. Lol

So. I was raised by a domestic violence lawyer. She was always really passionate about her job, about fighting abuse.

When I was in middle school, I was abused myself. A teacher. I knew what was happening. I knew what they said to do about - tell a trusted adult. They would know what to do.

My mother, the domestic violence lawyer, always so passionate about stopping abuse. She didn’t believe me. I was just a dumb kid, and kids make things up all the time.

I realized there’s not much a kid can do to protect themself. “Tell a trusted adult” is the solution, not because adults are more responsible, but because they actually have fucking rights. If an adult has a bad job, they can get up and quit. If I tried to walk away from school, I’d be beaten.

None of the adults wanted to listen to me, so what could I do? Jack fucking shit. I had that teacher for three years until I moved on to high school. I still have the trauma.

Treat kids like people. I don’t want to hear any of this shit about how stupid they are. They know more about their own life experience than you do. Listen to them
