It's official. Autistic people tending to have higher ethical standards than allistic people is now pathologized.

Allistics at first: "This trait in humans is good and should be cultivated."

Allistics when they find out autistics are better at it: "This is clearly the result of an illness and should be discouraged."

* Autism isn't an illness but just look at the state of that study

This reminds me of the free smoothie cup. A logic problem that doesn't have a clearly "correct" answer, but is more a matter of perspective. Until they asked autistic people and then declared their answers bad logic.

Whoever wrote this study looked at autistic people saying "No I won't lie for money" and then looked at Andy Ngo, Ben Shapiro, and Jeremy Hambly and said "Yes, these three allistic men are superior specimens."

I often see trans people and allies respond to "trans people deny biology" with extensive explanations of how trans people don't deny biology. I suggest in the future a different course: Don't bother. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT TRANS PEOPLE THINK ABOUT BIOLOGY. We still deserve

health care, civil rights, access to appropriate accommodations, and respect. There's this insidious vein of GC discourse in which what trans people say about ourselves is being used to discredit us, but the fact is we can say whatever the hell we want about ourselves and we

still deserve all the things. I don't care if anyone says that they're trans because of reincarnation or socialization or neurological differences, every one of them deserves access to all the the things I listed. Please please I beg of you STOP letting GCs set the debate.

Bit's good actually.

It didn't even get into transmisogynist tropes although at one point it almost flirted with one and then subverted the fuck out of it

I'm not going to do a detailed analysis just go watch it if you like lesbians and if you like vampires and you like trans girls

I recall seeing someone say that one of the characters trauma dumping on the protagonist is a thing cis women do to trans women but in my experience that sort of conversation just plain happens among women in general, and the protagonist is the center of the story.

Take everything I said about James Lindsay today and multiply it by 50.

Ray Blanchard is in dire need of shutting the fuck up.

I'd like to institute a study of clinicians and researchers like Zucker, Blanchard, Bailey, and Dreger so we can understand why they're obsessed with deliberately misrepresented marginalized groups and maintaining their lies for decades after they've been shown to be lies.

Good thread on why civility is still bad and always will be

https://twitter.com/SpicyFurryTakes/status/1325362666228080641

For context: I'm referring to demands for civility when dealing with Republicans who basically want us all dead, which is pretty much all Republicans who voted for Trump, as well as just about all of them in office, esp at the Federal level.
