It is the duty and responsibility of a parent, and obligation of surrounding adults, to provide as much support for their child as they can, and do their utmost to find outside support if the child needs it. If the parent needs support, the child shouldn’t even be aware of that until they are at least 13, ideally 18

Was watching a documentary type thing with my parents today and one of the scenes showed an athlete visiting some school thing specifically for autistic children.

The entire time, they were shedding light on how hard it was for the parents living with an autistic child, how exhausting and how shameful it is.

Not ONCE did they acknowledge what it must be like for the child to live with autism. They were offering all this support to the people around them and none for the child whatsoever.

Fuck “autism mums”. Fuck parents who make their child’s diagnoses and issues all about them.

I once was a clocky tgirl who couldn’t choose to be otherwise. While I am now Queer on purpose, I was no less valid then than I am now

there's a post where someone said "can you respect trans women who look like men" and someone responded something like "hell yeah I love people who fuck with gender!" and like... yeah that's cool, but in a lot of spaces "trans woman who looks like a man" is a lot less likely to be someone who is intentionally comfortably presenting masculine, and a lot more likely to be a girl who hasn't started transition, or can't safely, or just didn't or couldn't put in the effort to pass as fem today, and a lot of them will just look like schlubby dudes and not a radically presenting queer person. and you should be able to respect that.
