“For children with autism, intensive behavioral programs, known broadly as ABA (“applied behavior analysis”), are most often the recommended approach”

As someone said earlier up in the thread, the word ‘aborigine’ is a no-go:

Quick tip: the word Aborigine has pretty bad connotations, it’s not a good idea to use it.

Internal sex organs are not binary either, and can occur in ways that appear incongruous with each other. We need to improve our medical systems, not be telling trans and intersex people how they should react in medical settings.

Trans women still need to get checked for prostate cancer, that shit doesn’t just go away.

A lot of the examples listed above clearly depict sexual assault, in a legal sense.

Yep, biphobia sure does suck!

Sexual assaults is a crime, buddy. It's concerning that you don't seem to know this?

Did you even watch the movie? It’s explicitly stated that the insects may be just reacting to having their natural habitat disturbed.

Unless you think a male and female script writer are equally as likely to write a female perspective well, you're being wilfully obtuse.

Given that none of the physical traits we associate with the categories we call biological sex (e.g. gonads, genital shape, chromosomes, hormone balance) are binary, and can often occur naturally in ways we consider incongruous with each other, maybe doctors should update their practices to reflect reality, rather…

Scientifically speaking, biological sex is a gross simplification of the reality of human variation in which the connotations you are speaking of aren't always accurate, so the point stands.

Then they should be asking if someone has ovaries and a uterus. It's that simple, no need to exclude trans and nb people

I think you mean intersex, hermaphroditism does not exist in humans.

I spoke off the top of my head.

My apologies, I misread your initial message. You’re absolutely right.

Being a shit person isn’t a mental health issue. There are plenty of wonderful people out there with mental health issues.

While True said that her being overlooked could have been due to mere oversight, she also pointed out this is exactly the type of racist nonsense she had to deal with during the movie’s press circuit during the late ‘90s

Why are you so desperate to reach for another explanation rather than accepting that she knows more about her own experience than you do?

“Therefore, you should be compelled to respect and love me
