When a marginalized group is asked for peaceful protesting, what is really being asked is for them to “protest” in a way that those with privilege can actively and happily ignore.
Today my mom told me that the way I stimmed embarrassed her because she said it “made me look autistic” but uh, I am autistic.
She prohibits me from discussing my diagnosis with anyone (I ignore this – I’m really open about my diagnosis at school and online) and not even my extended family knows. The one time that I brought it up, she told my family that I was lying.
Don’t teach your kids to be ashamed of their autism, or any other disability/disorder/illness that they may have. Trying to suppress it doesn’t make it go away. Trying to suppress it only hurts even more.
Once you help your kids know themselves and embrace themselves and all of their differences, you will help their world become a better place.
Please don’t teach your kids to be ashamed of their diagnosis. You can’t hide a part of them from the world for forever

“They’re afraid of losing friends, being ridiculed in class, getting worse grades and are even afraid of being assaulted and physically hurt.”
good
no, not good. because if we hate them as much as Trump and his supporters hate certain groups, we are no better than they are.
yeah I am
“if you hate these bigots you’re just as bigoted as they are”
This “we’re no better than them” mentality makes the critical mistake that hate itself is the problem.
Hate is not the problem. At all. Hate can be constructive. Hate can be defensive and come from righteous outrage.
The problem is irrational hate towards innocent people.
Hating a racist is COMPLETELY fucking different from hating a race. A whole race didn’t do anything wrong. A racist did. Hating the racist is 100% proportionate, justifiable retaliation.
Fucking. Mic. Drop.
The reason that hate groups like the Klan have been driven so near to extinction is because of this exact thing. It became unfashionable to be publicly racist, and the backlash against those kinds of groups became unbearable for them. It drove them out of the limelight and into the very fringes of society.
This postmodern “hating the hate makes you just as bad” bullshit is what’s allowing them to re-prosper.
Fuck that.
Expose them. Make them lose their friends. Ridicule them in classes. If you can get away with it, beat their asses. Show them what it means that we will not go back to that way of life again. It’s time for the racists to be the ones who live in fear.
It’s not even about hating Nazis. It’s about having an understanding of what happens when fascists are allowed to organize. They kill. We understand that the only way to prevent them from murdering innocent people is to rise up against them and prevent them from organizing by any means necessary.
It is self-defense and it is not something that we enjoy.
almost 2 years later this has had some really nice additions
