Random things, I have another main blog I like more for fandom.
Disability and Autistic things here.
I'm a proud geek who loves anime, manga, light novels, visual novels and books among other things.
Please use neutral pronouns.
Random facts: I love foxes and dogs.
I think it's funny to be a non-binary bisexual but I think I'm actually pansexual.
I have social anxiety on the internet.
Sometimes I confuse pronouns calling myself you and calling others I.
Feel free to ask me anything. :-)
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
For those of us with chronic conditions, changing our relationship with them is often the very best medicine. Being locked in a battle with your pain is exhausting, and it reinforces the sense that something is deeply wrong with your life. Letting go of resistance and learning to stay with what’s actually happening can be a homecoming for the heart.

Wise words…

[general warning for child sexual abuse— no specifics or especially heavy things in this post]
Yesterday, I was at the store when I impulse bought a Hello Kitty sticker book. I sat down for a few minutes today and looked through it. The bulk of it is sticker…
Radfems aren’t fighting patriarchy. They are so infected by it they can’t even see how they perpetuate it. “Radical feminism” is the best tool patriarchy has; it makes feminism look distasteful and extremist to people who don’t know what real feminism is, while violently enforcing the gender binary and trashing women for their choices.

Gender queer was invented to give straight people something to make them more interesting.

Oh, Cathy, you continue to make me laugh. I almost spit tea all over my monitor! How LOLarious of you to declare genderqueer people’s gender identities invalid and decide their sexualities for them!
No, but in all seriousness, I do not know how you come up with this bullshit.

Radscum logic:
Genderqueer: Straight people appropriating queer.
Political lesbianism: Still OK.
(via tal9000)
Note also the misplaced space in ‘genderqueer’. And the fact that most genderqueer people wouldn’t be considered straight if they identified with their birth-assigned gender!

Most of us are not straight, sexual/romantic orientation are different from gender.

Parents often report that learning their child is autistic was the most traumatic thing that ever happened to them. Non-autistic people see autism as a great tragedy, and parents experience continuing disappointment…

I fucking hate the words “genetic female/woman”
But what I hate even more is what those words arose from. From the structural oppression of cissexism and the invalidation of our genders built into every level of this society and many others.
Y’all remember my post on words and offense? Words are tools of these systems. They influence mindsets and further discriminatory structures as well as stuffing extra internalized bigotry and pure -ism into the brains of the oppressed and the privileged respectively. In the end offense is a low priority compared to that dangerous effect of them.
Let’s go further.
Words are small parts of a really big system. Little tiny gears. Stamping them out will have a very small effect. Because in the end, that system will find new ways to influence mindset. New words, new phrases, new attacks designed to erode the humanity of trans people, queer folks, poc, pwd, neurodiverse folks, the mentally ill, the poor and working classes, homeless people, fat people, etc etc etc.
No doubt, just like offense still being a problem (cuz when you say a word that hurts an oppressed person you’re adding to the sort of shit we all deal with mentally and emotionally. And that’s oppressive too), words influencing mindset is still a problem too. They’re still dangerous. You can’t run around calling people shemale and not make shit worse for trans people. And you should stop using those oppressive words if you’re privileged.
But for fucks sake don’t have that be the only thing you concentrate on whether you’re a privileged person trying to help reduce your nasty impact or an oppressed person fighting the shitstorm around here.
Words are so goddamn easy to replace. Just look at all the alt insults created to avoid oppressive language. You think oppressor classes can’t do the same? You think a giant system built to crush an entire group of people, interlocked with a bunch of other giant systems built to crush entire other groups of people, amplifying each other and existing underneath the surface of every social thing out there like some kind of fucked up hateful Matrix shit can’t possibly find some new words to mess up their targets’ lives?
Come on.
It’s time to shuffle up priorities. Cuz I watch all the EssJay community obsess over the words and YES, words are important. As a writer I know how powerful they are. But we’re gonna be facing a whole new set of nasty words and phrases if all you do is fight on the linguistics front.
Reblogging because this is an important dynamic to consider. Language needs to change but so does the hatred behind that language.
