When Trump won last time, there were multiple raids in my neighborhood within a couple months of him winning. My part of town has a large population of immigrants (I am one myself) and ICE was everywhere. A couple on Next Door, from the Middle East, was freaking out because while they're here legally, it didn't stop ICE from harassing them and threatening to take their daughter away.
Maybe come up with something that wasn't a tag line in the playground when you were growing up
If you're gonna be a dumb fascist posting on a communist website about how the illegals should be deported at least bring some heat. This is just pathetic.
This might be ridiculous, but I often wonder about autism and gender and if they're connected in some way. I say that because I'm autistic and often think about how I don't view myself as a man or have any attachment to gender. I think it's something to do with gender being at least partially (almost entirely imo) a social construct and having trouble understanding that aspect of gender creates a kind of agender feeling for me.
I didn't quite understand this feeling until my late 30s and I'm not sure what it means, but like I gotta work tomorrow and shit so I just try to not think too hard about it ya know? I think if I had a better childhood with a support system and knew about the autism earlier, I might have spent more time thinking about gender in my youth
Yeah, autigender seems to encapsulate what I'm talking about. Also neuroqueering explains some of it for me as I think some of my "rebellious" behaviors like wearing dresses, makeup, etc when I was a teenager in rural Alabama might have really been driven by a demand for autonomy and resistance to gender norms. Although I didn't read a lot about it yet and might be misinterpreting the meaning
I'm not the one to explain this because I literally read about it for the first time today. This is what I read, and then the blog in the comments too because I like a lot of perspectives and wanted a blatant example.

Yes, actually that's the exact line of thinking that led me to discovering it. After being told for years that I was a man, how you're supposed to think and talk and act like a man...I just didn't get it at all. Then came the thought "well maybe you're not a man?" and I was like 🤯
This is not good.
If a fascist is threatening violence, it will likely be used against other people, such as tran folk, Autistic comrades, BIPOC peoples, etc.
Exactly. I wish folks would stop with the memes.

Yeah, Biden's just a vessel they pour every human they hate into.
Exactly. He's an "avatar," of sorts. What they pour their hate into. But he won't be hurt.
Tfw you're all three 😕
I am (well, except the trans part... maybe).
Lol I get that, I didn't realize I wasn't cis till my mid-20s and even then I didn't settle on nonbinary til after tons of introspection
I at least may be non-binary.
I don't really think of myself as a man, you know?

There is a thing called "Auti-gender."

What is neuroqueering?

Good thinking, tbh
One of us, one of us
I'm probably "autigender."
TIL a term that fits me
It's a very useful term.
