Uber charged me £22 to go 1.6 miles the other week. MANY times I cpuldnt afford to go to the GP due to taxi fares. The gov says if you're registered with a GP then you're close enough to get there unassisted... even if you literally cannot walk. That's ONE example.

“I love teaching people about current events, and social issues, and how to show basic decency to marginalised people. It’s my job; I don’t know how or why, but it’s my job. People wouldn’t do their own research otherwise, which leads me to believe that they just can’t.”

Dear Uber, £22 to drive me 1 mile is ridiculous no matter how high the demand is. The journey is now going to cost more than the vet bill

1/🧵 I am issuing an information appeal against the Information Commissioner, NHS England, and Hilary Cass personally. Yes, I’m suing Hilary Cass. It has now been over a year since the Cass Report was published, yet there is still a lack of transparency. I suspect public records were destroyed.

Potentially controversial therapy thread! 🧵 The difference between "conversion therapy" and regular therapy in a context where there's no access to gender-affirming care is barely more than semantic. Doing therapy with someone who uses your pronouns is not a substitute for medical transition.

Being in the Women's Hospital always makes me so uncomfortable. It's ALL babies and birth as if that's the only thing that matters. Bitch, I'm here for a hysterectomy, the complete OPPOSITE. Get some posters up about THAT shit.

Which is OKAY if you're just a hobbyist passing time, btw! Or if you have a disability and NEED a stylus to counteract mobility issues etc. But you won't improve skills or gain comprehension for the subject unless you actually put work in

I know trans gals are lovingly known as "dolls" but is there a nice term for the masc folk? Want to make some pro trans stuff for the bathrooms at the women's hospital

No "mistake" about it. This is the intended result in messing with vulnerable people's support. If you can't make someone else a profit, your life is forfeit

So did United copy the UK or did the UK copy United? (during Covid the UK government did this, for those without context)

For me it was all the expectations & rules that my defined sex carried. I was supposed to be polite, pretty & quiet. But I like "boy" things & have AuDHD. Also the whole "I wish this dick was MY dick" thoughts later on were probably a dead giveaway

FINALLY a survey where my answers don't skew the data! All surveys need to be made by autistic people. I didn't get mad at any point because I could explain my answers and context. And the questions had context! CONTEXT FOR ALL

Well it finally happened. Someone took my art, fed it into AI, and is selling a shitty facsimile of it. I’m so tired. Worse yet my painting still hasn’t sold. So just feeling super shitty right now

1. Galleries have had multiple art movements against them in protest of their elite practices (Fluxus is my fave) 2. Absolutely not worth my degree if I'd wanted a career. I never had ANY art schooling or guidance from my lecturers as they expected me to have already had training

Simultaneously navigating Autism & ADHD can be quite complex. There is only a narrow band of activity where they run parallel to each other … otherwise it’s an extreme balancing act ... and any kind of upset in our environment can be catastrophic ...

A major US corporation, after a deliberate protest, admitted that it sold tech to the Israeli military. Not deflection - outright admission. I don't think Doom's worth that. Neither is your Game Pass subscription.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.
