Autism has existed for a long as we've existed, we just didn't know about it for the longest time. Many historical figures are believed to have been autistic based on what we know about them.
We didn't have the medical term. But Autistic people have always been recognized, society just used other terms. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. But we have never escaped being singled out as different from the "norm". Unfortunately, people are good at stigmatizing those who are "different".
January Littlejohn sounds like an alias. Since people know who she is now they can boo her, refuse services to her, and if she’s engaged in any public board call for her resignation. She’s happy to ruin lives so she should be happy to be treated as a white supremacist.
It is not her victims’
Responsibility to assume she isn’t as dangerous as she has shown herself to be. She’s a white supremacist, who is actively curtailing Black, trans, immigrant, and disabled civil liberties.
And her story was a lies as she was the one to inform the school of the child and family's choices. Her case got thrown out. She's another grifting extremist nutbag.
I had no understanding of this story whatsoever - I hope they (I just read that’s what the child requested be called) is ok and living their fullest life how they want to. 🏳️⚧️
Is this something new? I never known any surgeon that would operate on a Trans kid. I always thought they needed to be an adult with years of lived experience
I have known of a few trans masc teens who got top surgery but that's rare and was before puberty blockers were used. Never heard of a genital surgery on anyone under 18.
There are rare exceptions where trans teens might receive an operation in their late teens (usually top surgery and because they are suicidal). But cis kids get breast augmentation and breast reduction. It’s hypocrisy
its not that common- sometimes older teens might get top surgery or something once a lot of their physical growth has already occurred. it’s just misinformation intended to demonize and spread fear. it’s more common for intersex children to be medically changed without their consent, but
a lot of the people promoting bans on transition related healthcare (which for many youth would be puberty blockers/hormone replacement therapy) ignore or actually make exceptions for intersex children/outright infants. they show it’s just about enforcing conformity and patriarchy.
you know, all china and russia needs to do is park a handful of ships around the panama canal and tell trump "if you want this canal, it'll start #WW3" and Trump will fold like the cheap kmart suit he's wearing.
Goodness, this is the perfect photo for this. Such a brainless thing to say (over and over and over and over and over) and such a brainless photo to go with it...
Also, thanks for doing this! I can't stand watching it, but I have to know what's happening lol
Term limits, we got our clocks cleaned last election and it’s time for Pelosi and Saunders to go. Need younger leadership or it’s going to happen again.
"I also cut off taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in sexual mutilation of our youth"
Crazy I actually agree with him on something, we should definitely ban circumcis-- Oh. Not that? So... What then? That's the only "mutilation" actually happening. 🤷♀️
For anyone following this - the school did no such thing. She *asked* the school to support her child by using a new name and they/them pronouns, and left further decisions on support up to the child and school. Complete fabrication by Trump.
According to these parents’ logic, the school should’ve informed his parents the second he asked to be called Cody…and the fact that they didn’t, it’s a severe violation of his parent’s rights.
#MomOfTheYear over here, this cuckoo clock letting the president shame her child on national television. Have fun seeing your child walk out of your life at the soonest opportunity.
I hope this child is okay. So incredibly sad their parent doesn't love them for who they are and is drawing attention to them in this way in this disgusting political theater.
Not autism, but just listening to your play by play has certainly affected my brain chemistry in a negative way from what the mutant tangelo is saying.
Trump's a total assclown, I don't know how you have the patience to listen to this bloviating.

January Littlejohn is responsible for most "Don't Say Gay" laws around the country and book bans.
It is not her victims’
"I also cut off taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in sexual mutilation of our youth"
"Now I want congress to permanently ban and criminalize sex changes on children"
No?
Of course not, it's never been about preventing harm, only doing it.
Also, thanks for doing this! I can't stand watching it, but I have to know what's happening lol
No more federal funds to hospitals that perform circumcisions?

She isn't responsible for anything other than loving her daughter.
