the reason why some autistic people have big talents is because we study what we love with a passion, and we practice what we love with a passion. it isn’t a gift, it’s information found and retained and discovered yourself or by learning from others. it’s a dedicated relationship between you and your “talent”, your “gift”, and when you push, it pushes back.

it’s also anxiety about being inadequate as an autistic person. am i talented enough to be allowed to be autistic? if i show people that i’m gifted like the people in articles and on tv, then will people be able to say autism without looking as though they just licked a raw lemon for the first time but are trying their best to keep their composure?

there’s a pressure on us to have talents and be so talented that neurotypical people gape. but then when we do work hard and learn and study and practice and develop skills with intense love and passion, sometimes for years, people assume that it wasn’t us, it was a gift from god. it wasn’t work or dedication, it was a miracle that came out of thin air, because autistic people don’t learn or work, we are gifted.

(neurotypicals and allistics can reblog, but please don’t add commentary.)

queerpropaganda:

“a writer’s character’s viewpoints don’t reflect the writer’s viewpoints!!!” actually, they do.

that doesnt mean having a, for instance, homophobic character means the author is homophobic. but how is the homophobia treated? is it criticized? is it excused, idealized? is it framed so that the homophobia is clearly wrong? does the inclusion of homophobia in the narrative serve a point?  

writers, especially professional published writers, know that their writing has an impact, and the morals they put forward in their work reflect deeply on themselves. they know how they frame and present their work can completely change the result and effect it has. 

so maybe the character’s viewpoints don’t say much about the writer, but how the writer presents this character and its viewpoints says a hell of a fuckin lot about the writer.

i think i just saw a blog i followed run by a genderqueer person get sucked into terf shit?

their archive had a bunch of antiterf posts pretty solidly debunking the myth that trans women transition to fucking assault cis lesbians, and a whole bunch of good trans pos posts but more recent cotton cieling shit reblogged by terfs. particularly nasty ones blogs like, fucking dedicated to the idea that all trans women transition to bget away with rape, and all trans men are guinea pigs for sadistic doctors who are doing it bc they hate women? convinced that the government is trying to forcibly transition women w hormonal disorders or something?  like buddy ur blog says ur genderqueer how are u falling for this shit?

how do people get convinced terfs are going to let them into their club it’s like 100% based on exclusion and gaslighting people into thinking their own gender was forced onto them by the medical industry or whatever. how does this happen. who looks at a blog dedicated to gaslighting people exactly like u and think, hey this looks lgit? this looks like something i should check out just to be fair u know? give them a chance

or like who even experiences being genderqueer thing and thinks, yeah Doctors love letting ppl transition! no jumping through hoops here! doctors just line up to give people like me hrt! society loves me! my identity isn’t for myself, it’s part of a plot to either erase or assualt cis women! this is either like someone nonbinary who really has it out for trans women, or a form of self harm tbh

What she says: I’m fine.
What she means: Nurse Christine Chapel was in as many Star Trek episodes as Chekov and even had an entire episode devoted to her background and how she wound up on the Enterprise. She was an interesting character with a bunch of hilarious lines and appears in several photo shoots with the other major seven characters, but for some reason no one ever considers her part of the main crew. The fact that she isn’t considered a main character but Chekov is is likely the result of the overvaluation of male characters and the undervaluation of female characters. Christine Chapel is part of the main crew and I’m so pissed that she isn’t included in very many space family posts.
