considering how many transmascs were legitimately way angrier BEFORE starting T and have since calmed down significantly have we perhaps considered that maybe the reason so many cis dudes are angry and aggressive isn't because of testosterone but maybe. like. personal issues. unmet needs. a social climate that teaches them that there are only like three acceptable social outlets for men max and one of them is being angry and shouting
Mcr reference
cannot emphasize enough
intellectually disabled people do often have strabismus, autism, and whatever the fuck else you're throwing them under the bus to make the ableds like you better for
intellectual disability is commonly comorbid with many disabilities, both physical and neurodevelopmental, to the point that it is considered a sign of them
you are not a better, more valuable disabled person than intellectually disabled people with the same disability as you
and someone assuming you're id is not a fucking insult to you
left foot, right foot, left foot, one step at a time. Hope is a thing with dirt under her fingernails.
[ Link to survey ]
The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.
It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.
After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.
Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.
Thank you so much!

ohhh the misery everypony wants to be my enemy
Hey did y'all know that autistic people do not need to have or acquire some "special autism talent" to make up for their disability and that you shouldn't expect them to have/find one?
Do you ever wanna bond with someone so bad you’re like “damn i wish we were knights on a dangerous quest”
And the world said "I'll hurt you " and I said "I've had worse",
and the world said "I'll hate you" and I said "I tried that, it doesn't work",
and the world said "your body is wrong and it will rot",
and I said "it's doing so already, but no wonder you forgot",
and the world said "I'd rather you didn't exist",
and I said "you do you, man, but I'm going to stay here",
and the world fell apart 'cause it had nothing more to say,
and I played in its guts 'till it started to rain,
and the rain washed the world whole and it said "sorry dude,
I wanted to be gentle, it's just easier to be rude",
and I said "yeah, I saw your big heart,
I just think it'd be wiser if we stayed apart",
and the world said "that would be for the best"
and flew off into the stars and I finally
got to rest.
I think i should be allowed to carry my stuffed toys around. All the time. Everyday. I need the support.
two things: I hate change and having my routines interrupted. I hate things being the same it’s boring
