- Why do I feel there's more to this story?Girl, 12, banned from school’s ‘culture day’ and put in isolation for wearing a Union flag dress lbc.co.uk/news/uk/school…
- Asexual people, many of them women, experience 'corrective' rape. Stop pretending to be a feminist.Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag.
- He also called disabled people a burden. Please don't forget that.
- She detransitioned then died by suicide a few months later. Maybe she was struggling with being forced to live a lie.Replying to @forestvanslykeI lost my son a year ago. He detransitioned and took his life months later. He was struggling walking it all back.
- Why does JK Rowling expect Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to worship her because they were in film adaptations of her books when they were kids? It's completely strange behaviour.
- Autistic person: I don't want a cure. 'Autism parent': Have you considered how hard it is to be the parent of a child with autism and special needs? Have you considered how difficult it is for me?!
- Replying to @ruggyscruggyThat was scary to watch, but I don't blame the animal. These animals aren't meant to be pets. It's fine to find them cute, it's fine to dream about having a pet one, but this person doesn't have the resources to care for them. Use your imagination and get a plushie.
- Replying to @nonono1967 and @Glencoe3288747I'm not against my own culture. I just despise it when people waste their energy bitching about immigration when they could actually engage in cultural traditions.
- The reason why I'm opposed to assisted dying becoming law is because I don't trust abled people not to kill us.
- This is dangerous and untrue. It may be a spectrum, but you're either autistic or you're not.This just in from DfE: Autism is no longer a condition that can be confirmed by diagnosis. This is “everyone is a little bit autistic” as a way to imply that we are providing too much support. And it’s not even close to the most ridiculous things said to this committee.
00:00 - I've noticed a lot of parents who want their autistic children 'cured' seem to have a lot about God in their bios. Did they ever stop to consider that their children are autistic because that's how God made them?
- My master's dissertation has been graded. I got 85 and a distinction overall. I'm going to relax tonight.
- According to society, I'm autistic enough to be discriminated against, but not autistic to need help.
