Women are not inherently gentle nurturers. Black people are not a race of brave freedom fighters. Indigenous peoples are not all (shudder) noble nature warriors. Jewish people are not meek, helpless sufferers. Screw your "positive" stereotypes, dehumanization with sparkles and smiley faces is still dehumanization, a promise to revoke our human rights the moment we fail to live up to impossible standards.

reduce your ableist language (contains examples of same) 

There’s a *lot* of ableist language in common parlance. These words and similar ones exist as slurs towards neurodivergent folks in particular. Try pushing yourself to replace/eliminate them.

crazy, insane, mental ➡️ wild, surprising, hectic
dumb, stupid ➡️ foolish, silly
idiot, moron, dumbass ➡️ bigot, asshole, fool

In addition, you are encouraged to think through what you’re trying to say better, and address what the real issue worth criticising is. And if you can’t rephrase it, maybe it didn’t need to be said at all.

cuteness and softness are not inherently child-like

"accomplice" is a nice gender neutral term for your significant other

Uspol, prison 

@Anarchist_Mallrat
tbh abolishing prison is the basic decency option

@AudreyJune
can confirm the observation anecdotally and expand it toward autistic people.

@daffodilian@elekk.xyz
same here, theres this type of constant monitoring and obsessively making sure it can't be read as "x complicated thing i informed myself about to not be seen that way on accident and being harmed". it feels like its a trauma response to growing up in abled supremacy for us tbh.

neurodivergent people: hello. we are Very Very aware that this behavior can be harmful but it's something we struggle with and people's response to us struggling with it is like, Extremely Harmful. can you not
other neurodivergent people who feel like they don't have to critically analyze their ableism because they're also nd: have you considered that you're just an asshole??

TERFs, gender discourse 

TERFs specifically come from 2nd wave feminism where they conceptualize gender as a social structure used by men to oppress women, but see men and women as fundamentally biologically different sexes without overlap.

when radical feminists want to "abolish gender" they are referring to abolishing the social order of gender and establishing an explicitly biological determinist sex division. this is bad and harmful, and specifically seeks to harm trans and nonbinary people.

video game gripe 

@starfall
i think new game plus systems in games *can* be good and interesting if it changes things or mechanics or puzzles and if characters reference how things are off or not as they expected. crosscode does this really well.

@FuchsiaShock
kinda wanna destroy the state and crush kyriarchy ngl

academic ableism 

@f0x
probably because it would make it too accessible for beings like us... /c

Pep talk 

What if, when people say you're great, you could realize that:

Rather than not seeing you completely and assuming you're better than you are, they ARE seeing all the times you're not perfect, and yet the *overall* feeling they have about you is that you're great

@ItsMorgan
thats an EDS mood... that feel when joints creak.
