It’s past midnight, I’m enjoying some very nice Devon cider oh and JK Rowling has finally gone all out attacking transpeople during pride month via the “you must menstruate to be a woman” bollocks that also defines ciswomen who’ve gone through menopause or had a hysterectomy as no longer being women in her eyes.

Trans March SF, back when I was a baby trans and still mostly masc-presenting! I was so dang nervous, because I wasn’t out at work and it was really one of my first times going out in clothes that sorta-kinda fit my gender identity. At that point, it still felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop-to get…

I know right?!?

Oh, I follow @influencersinthewild on Instagram, and I was SO completely grossed out by that. WTH is wrong with people?

Wait, so an entire industry based on fake personas is struggling to react with sincerity and humanity?

I know that was snarky and influencers aren’t any worse than large corporations. They tend to lack the PR departments to make them sound less cringe-worthy. I’m personally torn between wanting more companies to step…

‘There is nothing, Lady Galadriel’, said Gimli, bowing low and stammering. ‘Nothing, unless it might be - unless it is permitted to ask, nay, to name a single strand of your hair, which surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine. I do not ask for such a gift. But you commanded me to…

The little seven year-old in Star Wars pajamas who lives inside me isn't crying, YOU'RE crying. 

Considering the horrendous floods of racism he and his costars faced on social media during those films, I can easily see him telling the entire industry to take a long walk off a short pier. It was really a pleasant surprise to see them all going no, dude, you’re totally right.

I live with my adult brother who is autistic. I shared this story somewhere up thread: he wasn’t potty trained until he was 5 and wasn’t verbal until he was 4. His dad abandoned him at 4 months old.

Hot take: White ppl need to stop adopting children of color. You wanna help them? Help their parents keep them. Help their countries develop so they can be cared for by their own people. Or go the fuck home and get a plant. 

A NON-VERBAL 3 year old told them that.

Alright, Dad with a 5 year old that has severe epilepsy (LGS),global developmental delays, and is on the autism spectrum here. Raising a special needs kid is the hardest thing I’ve done. The added stress broke up my marriage and now we are co parenting in this situation. There are days where I fail, where he and I…

Autism parent as well, and let me tell you, my wife and I are FURIOUS over this. My son is a handful, and trying to get him to understand the world is difficult and stressful, but I would NEVER give him up. He’s not a puppy, or a pair of shorts.
Then there’s all the other stuff they did to this poor child... It’s…

Also an Autism parent,

Yep. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I try not to judge. There has been a lot of adoption in my family (and amongst friends), and I’ve seen the the benefits...and some of the horrors. Some of these children placed for adoption, especially from some undeveloped areas, are developmentally disabled to the…

May all of their bio children grow up to be radical queer atheists.

Fuck her husband as well. She didn’t do this on her own, and he has monetized content too. 

Autism parent here. You don’t “rehome” any child ever. If you are such a fucked up human being you do something like that, then you should never be allowed to adopt.
This is a perfect opportunity to really call out the fuckary that happens in over-seas adoptions - specifically adopting children of color by white…

What sucks about this moment is that this *could* have been an opportunity to talk about the real issue of people with adoption regret, or adoption... idk fatigue, in which they are faced with raising a special needs child in addition to the stresses of adoption, let alone transracial adoption. But it can’t be, ‘cause…

Not enough bad things can happen to this woman, not so much for her “rehoming” of a child like he was a puppy she found in a parking lot but for her mercenary use of and collection of children to begin with. She keeps squeezing out or adopting kids because she knows that babies and toddlers are where the “cute”…
