for the love of god if you’re writing deaf/mute characters and they’re using sign language to talk PLEASE use quotation marks, don’t do just italics or brackets or whatever other thing it is people do. sign language is STILL A LANGUAGE. just because it’s not spoken doesn’t mean it’s not real dialogue. if you’re writing someone speaking spanish, do you write their dialogue like ‘[the flower district is down south,] she said in spanish’ like NO!!! IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT, USE QUOTATIONS MARKS AND JUST SAY THEY SIGNED.

just know that you can describe their facial expressions! or how flowy their hand movements are, if they move excitedly or animatedly when happy, if they’re slamming their hands and moving aggressively when angry, how their brows scrunch or how rigid their hands get, you can still be creative and describe what they’re conveying even though they’re not using a spoken language. watch videos of people signing! look at how beautifully expressive it is! it is a LANGUAGE, treat and write it like one. use quotation marks

Hey, remember late last year when everyone (in Australia) lost their shit over a Sydney production not casting a nb/trans person in the role of Hedwig and harassed the ousted lead actor online so badly he had to put himself under suicide watch? Well, as it turns out they did cast a nb actor - that same actor who put themselves on suicide watch after being bullied online - they just were not ready to be out yet.

So not to be a fandom old about it, but you know how there’s that big debate over whether or not LGBT roles have to be played by LGBT actors? Many more of them are played by LGBT actors who for whatever reason are not ready to be out yet (or ever.) And it’s truly none of your business.

You all need to start using those provided wheelchairs, when you need them.

Listen to me. Listen. As a wheelchair-user, I'm telling you that you need to get over whatever hesitations are stopping you from using a mobility aid that would greatly reduce your exhaustion/pain, or would keep you safe. Use. The. Wheelchair.

I'm not talking about permanently transitioning to wheeling around as your full-time mode of movement; that's a whole other level of personal introspection, and I cannot make that decision for you. I'm talking about using a provided wheelchair for temporary things like supermarkets, airports, museums (when those used to be open), etc. You know, when you go into certain businesses, and, near the front doors, you see a line of wheelchairs, for customers to use? Those things. Use those things.

"But I can manage without one."

Can you? Can you actually manage? Or can you say that you're managing, while putting yourself through extreme levels of pain and exhaustion, which you force yourself through, in order to keep up the 'I'm managing' charade?

"But those are for disabled people."

Sometimes, yeah.

"I don't call myself 'disabled'."

I don't care what you call yourself or what you call that chair with wheels; if it will genuinely help you, take the opportunity!

"But there are people who are more disabled than me."

And people who are less disabled than you. Use the wheelchair.

"But what if I take the wheelchair, for me and my access needs, but doing so takes away from someone else's access needs?"

Look, if you all keep thinking that, nobody's going to take the wheelchair, and you're all going to be suffering!

It's not selfish to look after your own body and your own needs. You're surviving! You're living! And you're allowed to do that!

"They won't let me use the wheelchair!"

Yeah, that's a whole other problem. Fight it. If you don't have the energy to fight it, find someone (like me) who will fight it, for you. If you need the wheelchair, and the business has provided wheelchairs, they are legally obligated to provide you a wheelchair, if you ask for it. And no, you don't need documentation. You have rights.

"But isn't it just easier to walk?"

Is it?

"But I still feel guilty!"

Don't be! That's what I'm trying to tell you!

"You can't change my mind with one passionate tumblr post."

Watch me.

"But people are going to judge me!"

Yeah...yeah, they will...but here's the thing: which pain do you want to go through? The pain of a bunch of strangers judging you for one second of their lives, or the physical pain and exhaustion that will come from 'managing'?

Look, this world is ableist, and disablist, and there are so many different sociopolitical stigmas that come with the label 'disability'. I get it. Trust me, I get it. I face these everyday (my PhD is about these exact sociopolitical factors, and when I study them as a wheelchair-user, I literally can never get away from the topic). I get why you're hesitating.

But if you need a wheelchair to go around a supermarket (etc.), if your life, safety, and health will be benefited by using a mobility aid that is literally there for you to use it, even if it's just temporary...

Use the wheelchair.

Hi, I'm 25 and debating starting male-to-female HRT. However, I'm scared that HRT won't help me at all. It seems like HRT does so little after puberty, especially by the time one gets in their 20s. I'm really scared that I'll just end up being someone in a male body, but with breasts. Is there anything you can say to someone having this fear? Thank you, and sorry, I suspect this is a silly question.

Actually, the claim that HRT doesn’t do much after puberty is a myth.  I started when I was 31 years old and now I’m 35. =)  

It’s never too late to transition!

ok folks

I don’t think I actually have to spell this out

but there will be no prophesying, speculating, speaking into existence, etc about next year

no “I feel really great about next year,” no “I’d love more time at home to work on my hobbies,” no “surely it can’t be any weirder than 2020,” nothing
