I remember being 15 and I had severe tooth pain and my parents refused to take me to a dentist for a year straight because teeagers are just whiny and dramatic. I ended up having four teeth removed. Lol

So. I was raised by a domestic violence lawyer. She was always really passionate about her job, about fighting abuse.

When I was in middle school, I was abused myself. A teacher. I knew what was happening. I knew what they said to do about - tell a trusted adult. They would know what to do.

My mother, the domestic violence lawyer, always so passionate about stopping abuse. She didn’t believe me. I was just a dumb kid, and kids make things up all the time.

I realized there’s not much a kid can do to protect themself. “Tell a trusted adult” is the solution, not because adults are more responsible, but because they actually have fucking rights. If an adult has a bad job, they can get up and quit. If I tried to walk away from school, I’d be beaten.

None of the adults wanted to listen to me, so what could I do? Jack fucking shit. I had that teacher for three years until I moved on to high school. I still have the trauma.

Treat kids like people. I don’t want to hear any of this shit about how stupid they are. They know more about their own life experience than you do. Listen to them

Ok like. Most of this I agree with but I hate the redefining of “adult”. How is this an adult thing if so few actual adults fit it and most people I know who would qualify as an adult under this are actual children

The guy that called me a slur exploding outwards into little bits as soon as I tell him I don’t “accept the social institution of race”

And my ovaries!

It’s like. Most people know on some level that racism is bad. And they don’t want to be bad, so they don’t want to consider that they could be racist, cause in their eyes that would make them bad people. Like there’s some binary between the evil racist people and the good, not racist, normal people. But the thing is, racism is built into our entire society, our culture, everything. Everyone will learn some racist beliefs just living in this world. You have to confront that. But you can’t do that if you’re to obsessed with this “but I’m not a bad person” shit

Key points include classifying “transgender ideology” as pornography, banning porn and making it a sex offense, introducing the death penalty for sex offenders. All those together…

Atheists what if you were a batter and about to hit the home run but then the pitcher accidentally threw a christian baby at you would you hit it and get the home run

Well for one, it’s all up to chance whether I was born with a dick or a pussy. I never coulda been born white

I don’t want to engage in racism will people stop being racist to me now

unfun fact! In queensland that’s can get you a $9,288 fine

Mamy times where they might be able to access it/you have to tell them. You might face discrimination from medical professionals, or you might face legal barriers, like being unable to get hrt or having to disclose your autism to get a driver’s liscense

definitely not always a good idea. Getting a diagnosis can lead to a lot of discrimination and abuse. if you don’t need the benefits I would really recommend against it
