Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.
Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

'Not an easy decision': ANU vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell resigns
Australian National University vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell has resigned from her position, after months of controversy due to sweeping staff cuts and allegations of poor governance.
Professor Bellβs resignation is the culmination of months of scandal, plummeting staff and student morale, and a governance system that is completely broken.
Letβs not forget that Chancellor Bishopβs leadership has also been fraught, and she too must be held accountable for the crisis at ANU.

NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote
You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?
Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about todayβs #marchforhumanity saying βperilousβ and βpolice feared the worstβ. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.
