So, now “trans” and “mentally ill” and “autism” are derogatory labels comparable to racial slurs?
Oh dear.
Do you realize how insulting that is to everyone with autism and mental illness, and trans for that matter?

Sometimes I take a second and remember everyone is allowed equal access to typing comments. Which is a good thing even though that includes some of the worst/most toxic people. Imagine the reaction if/when confronted by someone with actual ill intent. Having been covered in a bubble of non reality is gonna prove so detrimental.

I wasn’t strictly talking about lumping in “trans” and “autistic” with all those qualities. I said including the misgendering. That’s the source for the analogy. And the only defense that seems to be there for this behavior is “She’s a horrible person” which yes, we fucking know, thanks.
