Natural” is a very dangerous word to use about sexuality … Our society’s notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven’t seen before: “That’s disgusting!” “But darling, you haven’t even tried it!” “I don’t care, I hate it, I hate it!

[This I have done with my life, and am content.]
I wish I could tell you how it is in that dark,
standing in the huge singing and the alien world.

I fucking hate autism parents, I fucking hate autism professionals, and I fucking hate every media outlet that provides them a platform for their dehumanizing tales of self-pity and woe.

I don’t give a flying fuck how different your kid is from what you wanted. The kid you have didn’t steal your dreambaby in the night to make you miserable. The kid you have is yours, a real person, not just a pile of deficits and fuel for your cries of poor me.

Your moaning and dehumanizing has consequences. Your pity parties legitimize murder, forfuckssake. Every time you people go tell a reporter that your child is a curse, you totes understand why people snap and murder their autistic family members, you are adding to a culture that devalues our lives and denies our humanity. You are contributing to a society where you are a martyr when you kill one of us.

You keep killing us, and I am PISSED. (via biyuti)

Seriously. It’s like the myth of the changeling never died with them.

(For those of you who don’t know what a changeling is, people used to believe that the fairies/elves/trolls would kidnap human children and replace them with non-human children. As a result, a lot of kids who were thought to be changelings were abused since they weren’t seen as human. Some people think that the changeling myth was a way to explain disabled children.)
