Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

“They can’t do that! The ADA protects you!”

People love to say this when you tell them you’ve been discriminated against or mistreated for being disabled

Just because someone technically shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean they won’t

Dealing with discrimination is a part of being disabled

Thinking about how it's entirely possible that the first person who said "if you step on a crack you break your mama's back" had OCD

I recently finished watching Star Trek TOS for the first time and something that always made me want to pull my hair out is humans from the past being terrified of Spock. Like, calm down. He is a man with pointy ears, slanted eyebrows, and a bowl cut, he's hardly a xenomorph.

Guys be reasonable. You can’t go round calling people racist just because they’re doing Nazi stuff. That will only make them more racist. I am very sensible and nuanced. Can I have a column in the Guardian please seriously I’ll say anything

Anyone who seeks power shouldn’t be allowed it. At this point, I’d be happy with everyone having a go for a week. We can, I don’t know, throw a bouquet or something.

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure

It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant

Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed

That they should “try harder”

The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

“What if I’m not really autistic?” asks world’s most obviously autistic woman, constantly An autistic woman is boring the ever-living fuck out of her friends and family by relentlessly questioning her own diagnosis, sources have claimed.  To put her doubts to rest, Paige Thomas, 39,…

To put her doubts to rest, Paige Thomas, 39, underwent a rigorous diagnostic assessment with clinical psychologist, Graeme Hart. This consisted of seven lengthy questionnaires and three diagnostic interviews, which Thomas voluntarily supplemented with a full autobiography.

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

Helpful! Autistic woman discovers that “on-the-job training” means throwing you to the wolves An autistic woman’s first job has ended in disaster after she discovered that “on-the-job-training” means chucking you in the deep end without so much as a pair of inflatable armbands, sources have cl...

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

when I worked a 9-5 job, part time at a call center from 2005-2011, I was constantly questioned about my absences due to my disability; even though it took so much planning just to get there and back, and to not feel supported. A lot of disabled people cant work because they won't be supported.

Never underestimate the awkward exchange of a "you should make XYZ! I'd buy it!" and then showing the very thing existing as a buyable item and the other person disappearing

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

are you willing to face my goblin army

Edited meme screenshot from an episode of Star Trek Voyager. The image is an extreme low angle shot of Seven of Nine, as though the photo is from your POV as you lay on the floor looking up at her. She is smiling at you with a wide, toothy grin. A tumblr post has been edited into the image next to Seven's smiling face. The post, from user neon--mess, reads: ":) (aggressive)"

A hand uses two fingers wearing tiny yellow rubber shoes to lean against a blank wall holding a finger skateboard. The deck of the board depicts a skeleton bird and has text reading "Tony Hawk." Scribbles over the image give the hand sunglasses and overlay flowers and squiggles on the image.

You will never be this cool.

We’re all temporarily abled. Illness, aging, or injury comes for us all. That’s why care must be universal.

Accessibility isn’t a luxury. It’s what makes freedom possible.

you are so much closer to needing disability benefits than you are to becoming a billionaire.

This is Hemlock. He chews in fast forward. 12/10 (TT: tooba.and.the.spots)

two shibas, one red and one black and tan, whirl their heads and necks back and forth so quickly that their features are just a round blur.

This is Non and Asa. We do not know which one went into turbo mode first. But we do know it is highly contagious. 14/10 for both (IG: asa.n.kuroshiba)
