Lots (perhaps the majority) of Asexual folk will go through their entire life knowing they're Ace, but not knowing the word for it, suppressing it due to social stigma, or just thinking they're "broken". People with children, partners, long-term marriages... all can be Asexual.

"What will you do when your parents can't be there any more?" Honestly, not a fucking clue. Probably not be able to cope, miss out on important things, and br totally unable to do the things I need support with. Because there's no one else I'd trust.

Or... you just be a respectful person and realise people often just want to vent or offload, and don't want a solution. Get over your own bias.

People will try to deny and minimise this, but it really is a major issue that'll harm so many people.

"Don't let your disabilities stop you doing something" Yeah... like it's a choice....

I received a letter yesterday that was sent on the 19th August... so let's not pretend the system isn't already broken

People misunderstand Gender-Affirming therapy so much. It isn’t “Telling them that they’re trans”… it’s giving them a safe space to explore their gender, and to understand who they are. It may turn out that they are trans, but it also may end up that they are cís or enby.

I want it to be "trendy" for people to explore who they are and seek support/answers if they need to. Why? Because we need to normalise people connecting with who they are and accepting everyone for who they are, too.

Remember before 1930 when Pluto didn't exist? Oh, yeah, it did. We just didn't know it.

Honestly folks... Churchill really wasn't a "good" person or a "hero". The education system and most of the media look far too kindly on him, and ignore the bits that don't suit the narrative.

When women say “I hate men” they mean they want men to leave them alone and stop being arseholes. When men say “I hate women” it means they want to bring physical harm to us. That’s the difference.

Lots of "thoughts and prayers"... Very little "We're actually going to change things to ensure children can go to school without worrying if they'll be alive at the end of the day"...

"Have you tried....?" Have YOU tried just shutting up and not thinking you know my body more than me?

Did you know that a someone who is classed as "overweight" (based on a racist, sexist, inaccurate measurement - BMI) is statistically likely to live longer and in better health? And that as we age, having a slightly larger body is proven to be protective? TLDR: BMI is bullshit
