Something about being autistic is how I can annoy people just by being myself/existing as an autistic person without even realizing that that's how people feel

What's the point of using AGAB language if not for genitals then?
I've seen it used and used it myself for discussions of gender on mental health (I could also talk about sexism but I never do so I can't use for this example), like "symptoms of autism in AFAB people" rather than "symptoms of autism in women", because I know they're talking about how women are raised that makes their symptoms different than in men; I'm supposed to be included in the "women" because I was raised like a girl, but I'm not currently a woman, so it doesn't apply to me, hence why I say that I'm AFAB instead, because that's what would affect my symptoms if it's about how I was raised for this case (I hope it makes sense)
It seems pointless to say that I'm AFAB to refer to my body instead of just saying what matters for the conversation. Like I'm not judging if anyone feels better that way, but it's like saying you were short as a kid: it doesn't say what you are now.
I just want to know if the use I give it is also intersexist and if so then what's the actual use AGAB lanaguge is meant to have
It's to discuss how everyone is assigned (with no consent) a certain sex/gender at birth, sometimes regardless of their genitals and how that affects the rest of our lives.
For example, saying: "I was AFAB but I'm a man and haven't managed to get that assignment removed from documents, which means I have to deal with a lot of transphobia when my records come up!" or: "I was AMAB but I'm intersex and transfem which made going through puberty really rough with the mix of intersexism and transmisogyny from everyone."
What you're describing are both intersexist and transmisogynistic ways to be using AGAB language!
Yes, there are differences between how women and people assumed to be women are commonly treated in society but there is no explicit way that changes the actual symptoms of things like autism. Studies and discussions like that are talking about different ways symptoms more frequently show up in women and people they assumed to be women that they studied.
That doesn't just include people "AFAB" and specifying that they're talking about women and then explicitly excluding trans women is definitely not what you want to be doing.
You can say you were AFAB but altering discussions of mental health to exclude intersex people and trans women/fems is fucked and actually exactly the type of thing I was talking about before, unfortunately.
You don't need to say you were AFAB. You're correct, just say what matters in the discussion, that's fine.
In discussions like you're talking about, what's important is that they're speaking about women and people they assume to be women-Unless the research behind the discussion explicitly says, "We only accepted people AFAB", don't say that!
[If it does say that...Maybe ask yourself why they're explicitly excluding lots of intersex people and trans women/fems from that research!]
For example: "These specific symptoms of autism are more commonly recognized in women and people assumed to be women."
I hope this makes things a little clearer! If not, let me know and I can try to break it down some more. <33

how do I bring up to my professor that her rubric for our final presentations is ableist as fuck?
"Maintains eye contact"
"Stands still"
"Avoids fidgeting"
"Makes expressive facial expressions"
"Avoids rocking or swaying"
like??? I'm autistic. I have ADHD. I have blunted affect and literally cannot Stand Still. eye contact hurts. I can understand where you're coming from but what you are asking of me is physically impossible and completely unfair to take points off for

I won't pick up on subtlety, if you just hint at something, I won't get it. But if you just tell me something directly I will also be afraid that you're lying, so really you just have to visit me in my dreams & whisper the message subliminally.

Dreaming of the sappy domestic life. Making meals and treats for her. Watching comfort movies whilst snuggled up with each other. Holding hands wherever we go. Sweet ‘I love you’s’ all the time. A house decorated together with our aesthetics. Stealing her clothes whenever I miss her. Celebrating holidays together like a little family. Cute days out or fun night drives. Being swaddled together, falling asleep in each others arms
Just craving some sappy love right now

Do you ever get sad when you see people leaving your fandom? Not like, in a way where you’re mad at them or anything for it and don’t blame them for it, but just… sad?
I think, for me, that sadness comes from a lack of understanding. HTTYD has been my special interest before I was even on tumblr, probably since the second movie came out. That’s 10 years. And, knowing me, it’ll be my special interest for the foreseeable future. I feel like fandom moves so fast nowadays, and people just leave once there’s no more canon content being made.
Again, for me, lack of understanding. What do you mean you’re not so obsessed that you think about it so frequently throughout the day? That you don’t get creative ideas from it that need to be released because if not that itch will never go away? That you can’t latch onto it and not let go? What do you mean you can leave it be?
(This post is not meant to guilt anyone. I just needed to get some of my feelings out.)
