Do:
-apologize quickly once
-correct yourself
Don’t:
-apologize profusely
-ramble on about how you’re actually really accepting
-keep apologizing
-tell them about your trans* best friend who you’re so very supportive of
-apologize some more
-talk about how you never do this
-apologize even more

- to be aware and vocal about their own boundaries and sense of safety
- to know their boundaries and safety should always be respected
- to observe and respect other peoples boundaries and safety, ALL peoples

An autistic person is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Know why? It’s because they don’t know how to hate people.
Well I’m autistic and I hate you ✿◕‿◕✿

like once queer and trans people don’t have to fear for their lives, jobs, homes, and safety because it is dangerous for them just to exist then we can focus on marriage

because essentially what you’re saying when you say girls are being too vain or taking too many photos is “stop being so pleased with your looks and be more modest about them”
but fuck that and let teen girls be vain if they want and proud about how they look
because…

I have someone staying in my hotel tonight that made me think that this would be worth sharing here.
If you are running away/trying to hide from someone that is frightening, abusing, harassing you, and you find yourself staying in a hotel to avoid being found, there’s an extra precaution you can take.

Being skeptical that another person can be incapacitated by a mental illness because you cope just fine with your problems is basically the same as saying “I don’t understand why other people’s brakes fail, because my car works great.”
12-year-old girl: I don't want kids when I grow up.
Society: You'll change your mind when you get older. You're only 12. You're too young to know what you want.
16-year-old girl: I'm pregnant.
Society: How could you be so stupid? Do you know anything about safe sex? You should be ashamed.
20-year-old woman: I'm a single mother with an infant son.
Society: You should've gone to college first. You need a stable career before you can support a child.
33-year-old woman: I'm married and my spouse and I both have stable careers. I have two young daughters now.
Society: You're not staying home? Who's going to take care of them? You're just going to put them in day care while you work? That's selfish of you. You can't expect to raise decent kids with a full-time job.
45-year-old woman: I just had my first child.
Society: Why would you have a child when you're that old? Do you realize the health risks of being pregnant at your age? When your kid is a teenager you'll be a senior citizen. That's inconsiderate of you.
60-year-old woman: I haven't had any children.
Society: Your life must be so unfulfilling. Is there something wrong with you? Why didn't you want kids? How strange.

So. It’s been a while since I’ve written you all, folks. As far as I know, this will be the last update letter I will write you.
