as some1 w/ morality ocd i rly need ppl 2 stop acting like it's morally terrible 2 b born in britain, like ik u americans (bc it's only americans ive seen doing this) think its just a joke but it's honestly a p harmful 1

1st of all americans hav more influence over things than britain does so u guys r basically punching down w/ ur joke

(just 2 b clear im not saying that britain doesn't hav major political power or anything, it does but ur kidding urself if u honestly can't c that america has more political power than britain)

2ndly i can't trust that this is gonna stay a joke given how many times ppl hav made "jokes" abt "doing x harmless thing or being from x specific country makes u a terrible person and u should b eradicated" only 4 them 2 just not actually b jokes or 4 it 2 l8r very quickly become not a joke

3rdly it contributes 2 this idea that a lot of americans want 2 hav of britain where they want 2 act like every1 born in britain is a rich white person when that just isn't true, like,,, u guys know that poor british ppl exist right? u guys know that british POC exist right? u guys know that disabled british ppl exist right? u guys know that queer british ppl exist right?

the joke isn't funny and it's actively making it easier 4 ppl 2 think that every british person is a privilege twat when that just isn't reality and it's just making it easier 4 other ppl 2 ignore the ways in which marginalised groups of british ppl r oppressed within britain, it's making it easier 4 the british government 2 keep the ways it's oppressing marginalised groups within britain under wraps bc like it or not marginalised ppl who were born in britain r included in ur "jokes" when u use blanket statements 2 say "british ppl r all bad and privileged rich ppl" and it hurts like hell hearing that as some1 born in britain who isn't privileged and is marginalised by the UK government bc ik that these ppl r not taking into consideration that not every british person is boris fucking johnson

hey, i hav chronic muscle tension and 4 me CBD gummies rly help, personally 4 me they work better 4 my chronic pain than paracetamol 2 the point where i don't use paracetamol anymore since the paracetamol was 4 me less effective, less instant and also gave me headaches

some things 2 b aware of just in case u didn't know since idk how much u know personally abt CBD:

- 4 some ppl CBD can cause an increase in paranoia, w/ this being said this is not the case 4 every1 and 4 some ppl it can help reduce paranoia but its worth being aware of so if u do plan on trying it u can do so w/ safety measures in place

- over the counter CBD costs quite a bit of cash at least where i live so just smth 2 b aware of

- sometimes ppl can become addicted 2 things purely bc of the association w/ pain relief, doesn't happen all the time but ik that as a former AA i got addicted 2 alcohol bc of the association i had w/ it at the time of being a temporary relief from the physical pain i was experiencing, 100% not saying 2 not try CBD 4 me it's been rly effective, just smth 2 b aware of, w/ that being said CBD actually helped me quit alcohol bc it meant i had (4 me) a healthier alternative of pain relief that also had some of those relaxing qualities that alcohol had 4 me, so yeah just best 2 gauge where ur at b4 trying it out i think

- make sure ur in a place where eating isn't a problem 4 u b4 u try it or where u think u would b ok w/ eating while under the effects of the CBD, while yeah it's more of a myth that it makes u more hungry than a human would normally b, the truth behind that myth is that it makes u more aware of ur body's needs and makes u more aware of ur hunger if ur not eating enough, not sure where u or any1 else seeing this is at w/ that so thought i would mention

- it can sometimes trigger other symptoms, 4 me i get a bit of brain fuzziness just from doing CBD but i don't mind because 4 me it's just relaxing and more of a positive but thought i would mention since that may not b a positive 4 every1, should b noted that i personally hav cognitive disability stuff (brain injury) and dissociative disorder stuff going on so my personal experiences r gonna b influenced by that

but yeah hope this helps, if u still think that CBD would b helpful 4 u then thats great! i just thought i would mention some stuff i noticed from my own personal experiences since most of the time when i c ppl talking abt weed or CBD it's always either "it has no negative effects on any1 whatsoever" or its copaganda saying weed is some evil drug that ruins ur life, neither of which r true due 2 how differently different ppl can react 2 CBD (and im assuming the same can b said 4 weed) so i thought i should try 2 give a more in depth and nuanced idea of CBD based on my own personal experiences so u and any others reading this post who live somewhere where its legal can make an informed decision

if it works for you, please add on in the tags/replies/rbs - like what kind of pain it helps you with.

my main problem is nerve pain, and muscle pain from chronic spasming, due to nerve damage. and i really need some relief (please don't recommend me medications).

also feel free to rb to boost (no pressure!)

some of u goy need 2 grow tf up and acknowledge that Wario and Waluigi r antisemitic caricatures and stop calling us jewish ppl antisemitic when we acknowledge that and hc them as jewish as a form of reclaiming them, it doesn't stop being antisemitic bc u just refuse 2 say jewish and say that they look and act like that bc they r "evil" or "cartoon villains" if anything it makes it worse bc its just u refusing 2 acknowledge what is obviously there and then getting mad when we point it out and then u try 2 say that we're the problem somehow

like,,,,

Wario:

- curly black hair

- big hooked nose

- pointy ears

- talks ""weird""

- main character trait is him being greedy

Waluigi:

- curly black hair

- big hooked nose

- pointy ears

- talks ""weird""

- main character trait is him being a creep

stop being dicks and calling us antisemitic 4 acknowledging the obvious and let us jews hc them as being jewish as an act of reclamation if we want 2, personally im jewish and hc that Wario is jewish and a drag king that pretends 2 b greedy as a way of rage baiting the antisemites, would love 2 hear u guys jewish Wario and Waluigi hcs from any fellow jewish ppl seeing this post

speaking as a wheelchair user myself who has tried both electric and manual wheelchairs i thought i would add my thoughts on this since OP is asking

so first of all, i really like how comfy and cozy the design looks, it looks like it would be very comfortable to sit on (more comfortable than my wheelchair tbh 😅) the design overall i think is just very nice and has a cozy feel 2 it but im going 2 give some notes, not exactly criticism but just stuff 2 keep in mind 4 if u were drawing different poses ect

okay so the 1 small piece of criticism i hav is that i don't c where the battery 4 the wheelchair is meant 2 go, this is a fairly easy fix tho and wouldn't require changing much of the design since in most wheelchairs the battery is stored in a small compartment under the chair itself

so as 4 just notes:

1) not necessarily an issue but the edge of a couch style backing like it looks like this chair has i find can b quite hard but that's from the perspective of some1 w/ chronic pain, it might b worth considering what specific needs ur character has and if they would mayb need a higher backrest that stopped above their head or a backrest w/ a seperate headrest or some extra cushioning there or so on, as some1 w/ chronic fatigue and chronic pain which is especially bad in my back i really benefit from having a bigger back rest with head rest

2) this wheelchair looks 2 b a little on the wider side, not an issue some wheelchairs IRL r just like that, however it does mean that going thru narrow spaces and doorways might not b an option

3) the wheelchair looks similar 2 a couch chair so it's probably going 2 take a lot of maintenance 2 keep it clean if this person is going outside if its made out of standard fabric instead of something they can just wipe down

4) the wheelchair looks like it's 1 where the main wheels r in the back instead of the middle or the front, this is pretty common but it also leads 2 a bigger swing when turning the chair and less of an ability 2 make tight turns so this likely wouldn't b ideal 4 a character that needs 2 make tight turns regularly

5) not a criticism since some IRL wheelchairs also have this problem so it's just realistic but since we can't see the back of the chair im assuming there isn't a wheel at the back 2 prevent tipping, meaning that the character could tip over in their chair, since im not sure what genre of story or art ect this is 4 i thought i would bring this up, that combined with the chair being probably slightly top heavy means that the character wouldn't be able to safely make many risky maneuvers in their chair that could result in them tipping over on their side or backwards, so no sudden tight turns or trying to go up kurbs probably unless the character in question is the type to decide to do this anyway and is then shown having some wobble on their chair maybe?

so yeah hope this helped!/g

Hey! Bit of an odd post but i wanted to ask for people's opinions on this electric wheelchair design/concept!

I know its not very realistic (like a real world design?) but i tried to go for something more stylized/cartoony and comfortable looking- but im unsure if i strayed too far into unrealism. The character is also still in very early developement- so i cant tell much about them yet. (apologies)

Any/all critique would be extremely welcome and very appreciated!! 😀🌷💖💕💖💕

nvm they r ghosting me again!

it's been a whole year since they were supposed 2 contact me

so i out of desperation phoned up my gender identity clinic again this morning when they hadn't been responding 2 me 4 ages, turns out it was the right thing 2 do tho bc it turns out that it WASN'T that my gender therapist was ghosting me when i heard nothing back from her and it's not that the gender identity clinic was ghosting me when i was getting no response from them when i tried to email, it turns out that MY DOCTOR QUIT AND I WASN'T NOTIFIED and then THE CLINIC SHUT DOWN FOR 5 MONTHS AND I WASN'T NOTIFIED, this whole time i thought that i was being deliberately ignored after having recently discovered i might b intersex and that i was gonna have 2 go private and basically visit a different country 2 get affordable private health care trans surgeries like trans ppl had 2 do historically, i dunno i hav a lot of mixed feelings,,, like im relieved that i don't hav 2 go thru all that and that my gender identity clinic wasn't just ghosting me and that i might actually b able 2 get my top surgery thru the NHS like i was trying 2 but on the other hand it feels rly fucked up that i wasn't notified at all abt my gender therapist quitting or abt the clinic being shut down,,, and i was just left that whole time thinking it was my fault 4 telling them i thought i might b intersex,,,

i hate how i c ppl agreeing with this post when it's literally just some1 saying "ur oppression isn't as valid as mine" 2 every transmasc, also way 2 say transfems can't in any way contribute 2 the oppression of transmascs while contributing 2 the oppression of transmascs, also ur complaining abt us as transmascs "not seeing transmisogyny as its own separate axis of oppression" while at the same time refusing 2 do the same 4 our experiences, i fully understand that there r experiences that transfems hav that i don't hav, i just don't understand y u (OP) can't understand that there r also experiences unique 2 transmascs that u don't hav i don't think it's fair 4 any1 2 try 2 say that 1 or the other experience is "worse" or whatever and it doesn't help any1, ur kinda just being shitty 2 transmascs 4 no reason other than saying "we also hav experiences typically unique 2 being transmascs and sometimes transfems contribute 2 that" like ur saying that it's not that but then u go on 2 say that it's wrong 4 transmascs 2 not just immediately shut up abt our experiences especially when we're talking abt in-group transmascphobia 2 do w/ transfems being transmascphobic, which yes, does happen sometimes, bc u seem 2 think that we should b putting our own experiences down in order 2 please u and ur specific idea that u hav abt how sexism and transphobia works, since im guessing the reason u think that transfems can't contribute 2 transmascphobia is bc u think women can't b sexist? even though the reality is that yes sometimes women are sexist and sometimes women are sexist against men and since much like how transmisogyny is a term for the specific intersection between transphobia and sexism against women transmascphobia is the specific intersection between transphobia and sexism against men

if you honestly think sexism against men doesn't exist just look at how many times a man getting sexually assaulted (especially by a woman) is something that is played for laughs in adult comedy shows, look at the fact that in the UK (where i live) the legal definition of rape does not include the possibility of a man being raped making it impossible for men rape victims to seek justice, the fact that being a man is seen as inherently predatory and violent, the fact that being a man is seen as "gross" and "undesirable" in comparison to being a woman, being transmasc means i am literally losing legal protections i once had as a woman and it fucking sucks seeing ppl not even willing 2 acknowledge that we as transmascs go thru anything bc "it's not as bad as what transfems go thru" you don't know that, you don't know what our experiences are and you clearly don't listen when we try to tell you and when did we go from "transphobia sucks in all its forms and some groups of the trans community experience branches of transphobia that are more specific to that part of the trans community" to "transfems always have it the worst so no1 else's experiences r valid and u shouldn't listen 2 any1 else u should only listen 2 transfems"

sorry abt this being so angry i just keep seeing this sentiment over and over again and this was the straw that broke the camal's back and i just rly needed 2 say smth this time instead of trying 2 avoid conflict

I’ve said before that I don’t care if transmascs create terminology for their experiences with transphobia, that my real problem with “transandrophobia” is who has been using it and how it’s been used to vilify transfems, and even put forward “transmascphobia” as an alternative, but... If you’re still putting “transmascphobia” (or whatever term you choose to use) on the same level as transmisogyny, then it becomes pretty obvious that you haven’t really been paying attention. It indicates to me that you still think transmascs and transfems experience equal-opposite oppression, that transmisogyny is just “transphobia for girls,” or that transfems can in any way contribute to the oppression of transmascs. If you say “transmascphobes and transmisogynists DNI” or whatever, it indicates to me that you still haven’t put any thought or effort into actually understanding what transmisogyny is. You’re still trying to conceptualize it through the lens of how transmascs/TME trans people experience transphobia instead of seeing it as its own separate axis of oppression.

also not all feminine men are skinny and not all feminine men shave but it feels like most people still treat chubby feminine men and hairy feminine men as a joke even in progressive online spaces, like if a man is wearing a dress and is chubby and has body hair then half the majority of the comments r gonna b smth 2 the effect of "actually this joke is transphobic and making fun of trans women" and the other half is people laughing at what they think is a joke making fun of trans women

binary trans women are not feminine men, they are just women, the only time that a trans women would be a feminine man is if she had some really specific nonbinary gender stuff going on that meant that she also identified as a feminine man

the existence of feminine men should not be seen as a joke and not just because "it's offensive to trans women" im sick and tired of seeing art of feminine men and half the comments are saying "this is offensive to trans women" i am a feminine bear of a trans man and i am honestly so sick of people telling me that my existence as a feminine chubby guy is transphobic

if your advocacy for trans women relies on bashing feminine men then your advocacy sucks

The way people depict feminine men online in only like one specific anime catboy kinda way makes me wonder if some of you actually like real feminine men or if you just have a fetish

does any1 else find the concept of being "high support needs" or "low support needs" as an autistic person confusing?

like i feel like i struggle 2 rly know what that means and instead of getting the chance 2 learn what that means i think most ppl assume im "low support needs" bc i can apparently speak fluent english but tbh im not sure if even that is super accurate, most of the words i know i learned thru mimicry, instead of learning what those words actually mean i just learned how 2 use them in the structure of a sentence and where would b considered an appropriate sentence placement 4 that word 2 appear from trial and error, i feel like i never truly learned words or how they work i feel like i just learned how 2 fake an understanding of them bc my biological parents put a lot of emphasise on the importance of me being "intelligent"

i was praised 4 using big words and being "intelligent" so i learned 2 fake intelligence, i saw what i was praised 4 and did more of it, i noticed i was praised 4 mimicking words in similar sentences that i had heard them used in b4 so i just kept doing that, i learned that i was praised 4 repeating phrases my biological parents had said, especially if they were political statments and for doing so i was called intelligent, i learned that other people considered me less intelligent because the statements i was saying were ones they did not agree with politically, so i learned from a young age that intelligence was just about how much adults agreed with what i was saying even if i didn't understand what i was saying

it also seems clear that people's idea of a "low support needs" autistic and a "high support needs" autistic is still rooted in the ableist concept of intelligence and assuming that if someone can say a big english word at you then they must be intelligent and if they can't then they therefore must be "less intelligent" which is honestly also just xenophobic

how does me being disabled in multiple ways factor into this? does it make me a "higher support needs autistic" even if its in no way linked 2 my autism? what about if i don't know which one of my disabilities is causing which symptoms?

or r ppl going 2 assume that bc i was able 2 put this thought 2gether that that means i couldn't possibly b "high support needs" even tho i can't make my own meals partly bc i literally 4get how making food works

it's difficult 2 wrap my head around what the words "high support needs" and "low support needs" means because like,,, high or low support in comparison 2 what? what's considered the "norm" 4 support needs? should there even b a concept of what is "normal" 4 support needs?

personally with what little i know abt it i would probably say that im high support needs but in a multi disability way but i also don't want 2 speak over ppl with high support needs if i don't "count" ig and i know most ppl will just see me using kinda big words and assume im low support needs and get mad at me and i honestly don't have the energy 2 deal with that and tbh im not sure if putting my support needs on a scale in comparison 2 other ppl's support needs is even helpful 4 me especially since i can't really understand the concept but i see it pushed into autistic spaces a lot? idk, it's just confusing 2 me

UPDATE!

so i started having some problems with the disney baby baby bottles, mainly that they started getting really noisy when i tried to drink from them in a way that was really upsetting to me and made it difficult 4 me 2 drink from them (sensory sensitivity) so i decided 2 try out some baby bottles made by NUK and 1 of the 1s i tried out was this new 1 called "perfect match" so i tried those out and they r working out really well 4 me so far! im using the "universal" spout 4 them and so far they r a lot quieter than the disney baby brand baby bottles, they also seem 2 b able 2 do both warm and cold drinks and i haven't had any major issues with them so far

any1 hav any tips on brands that make good sippy cups? asking as a disabled adult who started using sippy cups recently bc i can't drink anything from a regular mug or cup w/out spilling and also hurting my wrists, i previously used water bottles 2 combat this problem but i was still having the problem of them being 2 big 4 my hands and also i then had 2 individually clean all the straws which is a lot 4 some1 w/ my lvl of chronic fatigue and brain fog, w/ sippy cups so far im having an easier time since they r smaller which means they fit better in my hands and also they usually hav a spout but not a straw and i find the spout way easier 2 clean since i don't gotta get in there w/ a special brush like i do w/ straws

tl;dr: help a disabled himbo who probably? also has dwarfism? by giving me some recs 4 sippy cups

-no sippy cups w/ straws since that makes it difficult 2 clean

-no sippy cups specifically designed 4 adults since they would probably b 2 big 4 my hands given that the 1s that r made 4 kids r a better size 4 me

-1s with handles r preferable since they help me keep my grip better but recs 4 1s that don't hav handles r also okay :)

-must b no spill or at least very difficult 4 it 2 spill

the Ken tumblr tag is not a safe space 4 oppressed men and that's a real problem (talking abt Ken from the Barbie movie)

i shouldn't b having 2 deal w/ most of the tag being either ppl acting like men can't b oppressed and r always oppressors or sexualising Ken in a rly fucked up and dehumanising way or making fun of Ken having emotions and his own struggles in the movie, none of u learned anything from Ken's story in the movie i hate it here, i hate how even now i feel like i need 2 make this post devoid of my own personal emotions 2 b taken seriously

Ken is a perfect analogy for being an oppressed man, the fact that he's a himbo makes him a good analogy 4 existing at the intersection of being a man and having some sort of cognitive/intellectual disabilities (speaking as some1 who has brain damage from a traumatic brain injury i suffered b4 i was a year old) and its present in the way the ppl around him treat him, he wants 2 leave Barbie's side for a little bit and she says "don't go 2 far" he wants 2 go 2 the library and she says "don't get in trouble" he's consistently seen as her accessory, the movie mentions how it's not fair that some women are expected 2 "mother" their male partner and that's true its not fair but it also SHOWS us that sometimes women push that onto oppressed men, Ken is very clearly upset when Barbie mothers him, getting upset when she tells him not 2 go 2 far or not 2 get into trouble like he's a child and it's also not fair that some women push that onto men (usually disabled men) and expect those men to just allow them to "mother" them and infantilise them and dehumanise them and then on top of that because of Ken being a man he is taught that the only way he can gain respect is by taking over and starting fights and wars

so yeah, genuinely fuck you guys for seeing a movie about how both men and women deserve better and then choosing to ignore half the message because you would rather get wasted on gender essentialist politics that tells you that women are always safe and men are always oppressors so you can make jokes about killing all men and traumatising all men because each man is the same to you, i am a disabled, gay, trans man of colour and i am so fucking sick of this shit and i genuinely thought i would be able to escape that in the Ken tumblr tag and just be able to see posts from ppl who get it since that's partly what the Barbie movie was about but no, because oppressed men can't have anything, in fact i'm probably gonna get a bunch of comments making fun of me for being emotional because u guys probably also think men shouldn't b allowed 2 hav feeling right?

oh boy, it's this again, it's ppl not even considering the existence of disabilities b4 they open their tumblr and make a massive statement where they tell every1 who can't do the thing 2 "suck it up" and say every1 who isn't doing the thing is morally in the wrong, we shouldn't b using a genocide as fuel 4 ableism, it pisses me off how every single time smth big like this happens disabled ppl and poor ppl [and let's not 4get most disabled ppl r also not doing the best financially] r always the 1st on the chopping block 4 public scrutiny, please try 2 remember that while 4 a lot of abled ppl these products r mere conveniences 4 some disabled ppl they might b necessities, not a lot of abled ppl know this but basically part of being disabled is using products that r not specifically disability aids as disability aids, some1 who doesn't hav the ability 2 cook 4 themselves and doesn't hav any1 who can do that 4 them might use fast food 2 get around that so they can still get smth 2 eat that day, "but y don't they get some1 else 2 cook 4 them?" not every1 is so lucky 2 hav ppl in our lives who will do that 4 us, in fact a lot of us lose the ppl we had in our lives because of our disabilities and needing extra support, also i don't even actually know what all the brands 4 the boycott even r bc all i c ppl talking abt r starbucks and fast food brands, which i think speaks volumes on how as soon as there's a big problem every1 4gets disabled ppl and poor ppl exist

UPDATE!

okay so, i've been using 'nuk' and 'munchkin' brand sippy cups 4 a while 2 help me w/ this problem and while they were good they weren't exactly perfect 4 me specifically,

1) personally 1 of the main issues that i had was that the nuk cups i needed 2 bite down on the chewy spout quite a bit to get the drink out (might just b bc i hav a jaw joint problem tho since ive had that 4 a while but still an issue 4 me personally)

2) secondly i had a problem where the chewy spouts would start 2 collapse inwards after drinking from them 4 a while, this was less frequent w/ the nuk cups than it was w/ the munchkin cups but it was still an issue it just happened slightly less frequently, when this happened i would b unable 2 drink from the cup until i pressed the sides of the spout 2 open the spout and let the air out meaning i would hav 2 stop drinking 2 do this

3) thirdly, the anti colic vent is noisy when im trying 2 drink which is difficult 4 me 2 deal w/ due 2 me being autistic and i would sometimes drink less than i wanted 2 so i didn't hav 2 deal w/ the loud noise

with this in mind i think i have found a sippy cup that doesn't hav these problems, the brand is "Disney baby" and they sell baby bottles, the notes i hav here r specificly abt the baby bottles they r selling not the sippy cups since i haven't tried the actual sippy cups yet just the baby bottles so w/ that in mind,

- despite being "baby" bottles i personally would not recommend them 4 babies since they do not hav an anti colic air vent, which could b an issue 4 babies who cannot burp independently, however this is not an issue 4 disabled adults who can burp independently, just wanted 2 get this out there in case some1 was reading this post and was mayb going 2 buy this 4 their baby

- the handles r set slightly wider which is good since even tho i hav small hands the handles on some of the nuk sippy cups were slightly 2 small 4 me, and i imagine that wider set handles would also b a benefit 4 ppl who have more regular sized hands 4 adults

-it's no spill! i tipped this bottle upside down w/ some juice in it and it didn't spill, with that in mind please b aware that u do need 2 hav the spout screwed on securely and over the plastic bit that attaches the spout 2 the handles

-i didn't need 2 bite down as hard on the spout 2 just the juice 2 come out of the bottle

-even tho its no spill it also comes w/ a lid which i personally find easy enough 2 take off and put back on, the micky mouse ears on the lid make a nice handle 4 taking the lid off

-no straw which makes it easy to clean especially since i hav a dishwasher in the house now and it's dishwasher safe (top shelf of the dishwasher)

-no anti colic air vent, not good 4 babies but 4 me this just means less noise while im drinking

-i personally hav not had an issue yet with the spout collapsing inwards and needing to press the sides of it 2 get the air 2 come out

and lastly, the only complaint i've heard abt it in the reviews is that the design on the outside of the bottle washes off rly easily but tbh that's not a big deal 2 me, tbh these baby bottles seem like they would just in general work better 4 disabled adults than babies imo and the 1 i hav is so far working better 4 me than either nuk or munchkin brand sippy cups and i've already ordered more of these so since a lot of u guys wanted me 2 let u know when i found smth that works 4 me i figured i would give u guys a product rec

link below, in case u guys wanna try this out 4 urself 2 help w/ ur own disabilities :)

any1 hav any tips on brands that make good sippy cups? asking as a disabled adult who started using sippy cups recently bc i can't drink anything from a regular mug or cup w/out spilling and also hurting my wrists, i previously used water bottles 2 combat this problem but i was still having the problem of them being 2 big 4 my hands and also i then had 2 individually clean all the straws which is a lot 4 some1 w/ my lvl of chronic fatigue and brain fog, w/ sippy cups so far im having an easier time since they r smaller which means they fit better in my hands and also they usually hav a spout but not a straw and i find the spout way easier 2 clean since i don't gotta get in there w/ a special brush like i do w/ straws

-must b no spill or at least very difficult 4 it 2 spill

personally i always had the opposite happen 2 me, ppl seem 2 expect more of me when it comes 2 mental tasks when they learn im autistic and then get mad at me when im physically unable 2 perform said taks, or they tell me that im "selling myself short" or smth,,, i can c how ppl automatically lowering their expectations 4 u bc ur autistic could b frustrating tho, i think i just worry slightly when i c stuff like this bc of there being a lot of this idea that "autistic ppl r always more intelligent" ect, ik that's not what OP was saying just 2 b clear, i just worry that this could b taken out of context and wanted 2 remind ppl reading this that while it is frustrating 2 hav ppl assume ur capable of less than u r bc ur autistic and that definitely does happen it's also just as frustrating 2 hav ppl assume ur capable of more than u r bc ur autistic and that also definitely does happen

I've had people treat me completely differently the second they find out I'm autistic. Suddenly I'm a child in their eyes, and incapable of doing anything.

yeh tbh i get some of the disgusted reaction, not towards the male pregnancy itself but towards how as a fanfic trope its often specifically sexualising the male pregnancy which always rubbed me the wrong way personally even b4 i realised that im a trans guy bc it's basically just fetishising trans and intersex men and how some of us have the ability 2 get pregnant and tbh since it's usually written by straight women i feel like this is another "straight girl yaoi" situation, it's not the fact that 2 dudes r fucking that's cringe it's the fact that it was written in a way that was clearly exploitative and fetishising a whole group of marginalised men, or in this case it's not the fact that a dude is pregnant that's cringe it's the fact it's written in a way that was clearly exploitative and fetishising a whole group of marginalised men i feel like instead of using "ew, mpreg" as a joke, i feel like a better joke would b "ew, cis girl mpreg" bc let's not kid ourselves here it's usually the same group of women that write straight girl yaoi that write cis girl mpreg and since the phrase "straight girl yaoi" is already (rightfully) a joke the phrasing of "cis girl mpreg" is building off an already existing joke

I really genuinely deeply passionately need people to stop seeing mpreg as this gut-wrenching disgusting joke of a thing in general

But especially if you consider yourself a trans ally or even trans acceptor.

Trans men can and do get pregnant, this is not a vile joke, this is not a disgusting vomit inducing thing. This is just pregnancy, and the outrage, performative or not, that occurs when it is even mentioned in passing is fucking detrimental to masculine trans folks.

to add to this post, i personally also had issues with brushing my teeth 1) bc i'm autistic and the bristles felt bad but also 2) since i don't have the best co-ordination in my arms i was using too much strength when brushing my teeth which meant that i was scraping 2 much at my gums and my gums would bleed basically every time and a dentist had to explain 2 me what i was doing wrong, personally what i found helpful is getting one of those silicone 'U-shaped' toothbrushes, w/ that in mind tho they r usually meant 4 rly little kids so it probably works better if ur like me where ur proportions r smaller than most adults (im 4'9 and mostly proportional 4 reference) if u r gonna get 1 tho i would recommend *not* getting one of the electric 1s since a lot of the electric 1s hav harmful 'teeth whitening' features, just get 1 of the 1s that isn't electric (they do exist i hav 1) 4 me this also helped bc i didn't hav 2 move my arm in as many weird angles 2 brush my teeth, just side to side bc the shape of the toothbrush takes care of the rest with that, also the silicone doesn't hurt my gums, also just bc a lot of the time it's not made clear, u don't hav 2 use foam toothpaste 4 those things u can use regular toothpaste and it works just as well if u don't wanna use foam toothpaste, the only thing i will say is make sure ur getting 2 the teeth at the back but 4 me personally i haven't had problems w/ that but idk if that might b an issue 4 ppl w/ bigger mouth proportions than me hope this helps some1 :)

I have trouble taking care of my teeth because everything that involves doing that is a sensory nightmare. I decide to do some research to see if there's anything I can do about this. The results?

"How to make your autistic child brush their teeth"

"Autistic Children and Sensory issues relating to tooth brushing"

"How to get your little shit to brush his fucking teeth"

Like, yeah Google, thanks, that really helps. And like, even if I was a child, some of the advice seemed... unhelpful. Like, doing a dance and singing a song while brushing your teeth? Even for a kid, I don't think that would help distract from a sensory experience as intense as brushing your teeth. Like, the extremely intense and unpleasant flavor, the intense feeling of the brush against your teeth scraping across it, even mouthwash has such an intense and disgusting flavor that I have difficulty keeping it in my mouth for more than a few seconds. I wish there was SOMETHING that could be done.
