I’m in this thread. Honestly I’ve really burnt out & become disillusioned with online work for this exact reason. I have ongoing anxiety, sleepless nights & regular panic attacks now about any work I do. It’s terrifying how people will drag up old, contextless things just to paint you a villain.
I've learned having minor visibility online is that there are people who go from liking your work to hating *you* based on their interpretation of one sentence. No seeking clarification, no questioning whether or not they misunderstood, no room to misspeak or make mistakes--you're just the villain.

For every worthless platitude offered by our liberal friends about how this ruling changes nothing can you please explain how today I woke up and was immediately threatened by the authorities you say will protect me from discrimination?

“Fuck your single-sex spaces and fuck your Supreme Court. If I see you calling the police on a trans person in a public restroom I will personally flush your phone down the bog whilst pretending it’s Wes Streeting’s head.”
Normally rule-following autistic says fuck transphobic laws
A cisgender autistic woman who is generally so law abiding she once performed a citizen’s arrest on herself for jaywalking will not acknowledge any evil transphobic legislation, it has been confirmed....

I don't believe in book burning. I believe in making art.
Take your fucking Harry Potter books (or anything else by JKR you might own), rip all the pages out in strips.
Make paper mache paste with 2 parts water and 1 part elmer's glue, stirred.
MAKE PRO TRANS ART WITH IT.

Yeah I’ve been saying this for weeks: we are disrupting at least one, more likely two generations of scientists in the pipeline. It’s gonna suck the most for, say, people with cancer and ALS and neurodegenerative diseases and dementia. Among others.
Right. Getting an MD/PhD is an 8-10 year endeavor.
You can’t just fire a bunch of people at NIH and at universities and expect others to come in to keep up the science, or do other good science.
Ramming in inexperienced people with a political agenda leads to shitty science.

A decade at least. My nephew is an MD/PhD and that’s a 10 year endeavor. So if you give up on this year’s admitting class, as his program at UMASS Medical just did, you lose that talent for a decade. Hope they admit next year so this isn’t true.

Time to get rid. If you ain't gonna step up, you can't be king of Canada 🖕
I got my politics from my Scottish granny.
She wouldn't be surprised for a second that "King" Charles would throw us under the bus to placate Trump.
I have enormous respect for our Governor-General.
As for the tawdry family living in Buckingham Palace?
Canada will defend our own interests.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism.
But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them.
That's nasty work.
Hope this helps!

I truly wished more people understood. Even if you know the why & the how, the unpredictability of the condition can throw it all out the window. Non disabled need to understand different ways of exertion affect us no matter what. You need to be VERY analytical even then it can be a roll of dice.
