Being Transmasc is wild because first you’re a girl and you’re weak whiny emotional irrational annoying and uppity and “on your period” and you’d be prettier if you smiled and stopped making everything about feminism all the damn time

and then all of a sudden you’re a man and you’re ‘the problem’ and you just want to oppress girls and talk over women to validate yourself and make it all about you because all men ever do is take over the conversation and be abusive and use their toxic masculinity to bludgeon everyone around them and like

The whole time you’ve always just been you

on a similar note to that 'i think a lot of you guys forget people hate women' post; I think a lot of you guys forget how bad racism truly is and how deeply pervasive and entrenched antiblackness is.

People talking about privilege like it's this mystical aura that metaphysically benefits you, rather than something based on how people choose to treat you based on their perceptions of you, sure are... something.

reminder that trans men also fought for your rights and refusal to acknowledge this is tantamount to denying historical fact

Tip for allies: Marginalized people should be considered experts on their own experiences and only their own. This doesn't mean that they don't have awareness of other people's experiences, but they should never be considered primary authorities. Gay men are not experts on the experiences of lesbians, disabled white people are not experts on the experiences of disabled Black people, people without personality disorders are not experts on the experiences of people with personality disorders, and so on.

those ads for ai integration on phones are so funny bc it seems like they cant. come up with that many use cases that arent already on a phone? "ask gemini to give you recipes when youre cooking!" "use our AI assistant to find the perfect gift for your girlfriend" yeah or i could just like. google it. you've spent millions on a slightly fancier version of an alexa. good job man.

hey um. so sorry to tell you this, but op of that post plays toys kinda weird. yeah you should just block them, that's not how normal people play with toys

[standinggoblin]

a lot of you guys say we need more weird queers and then exclude weird queers. your oddity is performative and it shows. queerness isnt meant to have strict rules, its supposed to be contradictory and fluid and freaky.

“women don’t have the capacity for misogyny” have you ever met a mother

Someone was asking in a thread what kind of people could work for ICE right now.

I think it's a good time to remember that the image above are the people who put children into gas chambers.

When I was little, I asked what kind of person could work at a concentration camp.

The answer to both questions I think is "normal people who have accepted the dehumanization of another group of people."

if you’re a white creator and your brown/black characters are always sassy, reckless, aggressive or cold and your white characters are always soft, demure, shy and introverted you should think about maybe why you did that

Torture to be a fan of any exotic animal when it's like. 90% of the footage of them is gonna be from dodo videos of people illegally keeping them as housepets . Really wish I could enjoy this video of a lynx but I also kinda wish everyone involved would die

existing on the internet being intellectually disabled is so annoying

people saying youre fake because youre on the internet

people believing you but then being angry when you have symptoms of being intellectually disabled (like how i act when im angry)

people telling you if you can use person first or identity first (i dont care about words i want people to stop treating me like an animal)

people saying theyre ‘trans intellectually disabled’

people saying the r slur

autistic people saying they can reclaim the r slur

people you follow and like suddenly being really ableist towards people like you

people excluding you or saying people are stupid then saying ‘oh i didnt mean intellectually disabled people’ because we’re not default people to them that exist. people dont even think about us

people using the word intellectual all the time when they dont need you to it excludes you from things because youre not ‘an intellectual’

people saying theyre questioning a severe genetic disorder that always causes severe or profound intellectual disability and would be obvious they had

people acting like genetic and chromosomal intellectual disability is a different ‘type’ of intellectual disability to other causes and trying to seperate you

people using long complicated words and long complicated paragraphs then saying oh just get your carer to read it to you when the multiple people that support me including my carers dont always have time to do that and sometimes they dont know how because they dont understand whats being said! and im not patient enough!

people making every single post you make about autism especially low support needs and level 1 autism

people saying (other disability) is intellectual disability or that intellectual disability is a category and not listening when you say its not

people not listening when you explain that in the UK learning disability is one disability and dyslexia dyscalculia etc are ‘learning difficulties’

people getting mad at ME for saying theyre learning difficulties when im not in charge of what disabilities are called! no one has ever asked me to pick the name of a disability!

people arguing over if we can be called smart or if we should be called stupid but in a ‘good’ way

people not understanding that complex topics really are too complex and not all of us can just learn things or have them made accessible to us

people not understanding that some of us might never understand certain concepts no matter how its broken down or explained

people continuously trying to explain things to you after you communicate that it cannot be explained in a way that helps you understand - and then stressing you out because they wont stop!

people getting mad at you because you dont have skills they have (this includes some ID people who have done this to me)

people not understanding that my brain does not register context and every single interaction is isolated to me and based on what direct words are being said

people acting like their concussion or mild TBI or whatever else is the same as intellectual disability, then getting mad at you for your intellectual disability

‘well i work with intellectually disabled children and…’

and the worst worst worst one, people not shutting the fuck up sometimes! sometimes you just need to shut the fuck up!

i could keep listing things for days

people are horrible to me, then surprised i cant cope, then horrible to me for not being able to cope, all while they say im not ID, and then when my family steps in to help theyre surprised i need it. it doesnt make any sense at all

I AM INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED. DO NOT REBLOG THIS POST WITH BIG AMOUNTS OF COMPLEX TEXT. THIS POST IS INTENDED TO BE ACCESSIBLE. MAKE YOUR REBLOGS EASY TO READ. DO NOT MAKE MY OWN POST INACCESSIBLE TO ME.

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.
