The truth is most people think being disabled is a death sentence but instead of advocating for disabled people they r convinced that they’ll never become disabled as if being disabled is some biblical punishment. Guess what? Accidents happen. You will get old and your body will stop working like it used to. Imagine if we live in a world where disability is seen as normal. Where we actually take care of each other.

Also I don’t think we have as many abled body people in the world as we think. I think many people are so terrified of being disabled that they r willing overwork themselves to prove they can do it. Many people deal with chronic pain and physical health issues in silence. Because they don’t want to be burden. I think we should be burden to each other and i think labor should be shared.

The worst myth you can convince yourself of is that disability is something that happens to you as a punishment, instead of a natural consequence of capitalism.

“… the norm in our society is to accept the following falsehoods as true: a) obesity has a causative role in the onset and progression of numerous chronic conditions; b) fat is an energy storage unit rather than the actual highly sensitive metabolic manager that it is; and c) diets (restricting food intake or food groups) and exercise are necessary to “treat” the presence of an above-average sized fat organ to realize presumed improvements in morbidity and mortality outcomes.

The Homeodynamic Recovery Method accepts the following evidence-based confirmations as true: a) obesity has no proven causative role in the onset of any chronic condition (1,2) and its appearance may be a protective response to the onset of numerous chronic conditions generated from currently unknown causes (3,4,5,6); b) the fat organ is the largest hormone-producing organ in the body and it produces hormones that gate critical body functions as diverse as bone and blood formation and reproductive and metabolic functions (7); and c) diet and exercise regimes are hyped beyond all proportion regarding their actual scientific value for health and longevity in human beings (8,9,10,11) let alone being viable treatments for reducing the size of a critical hormone-producing organ in the body.”

The 99% Invisible podcast has an excellent episode about this.

it's always so fucking funny to me when terfs are like "how can you say trans women and women are the same thing! being born as a man makes you different!" because like. yes. trans women and cis women are different. so are black women and white women. and straight women and queer woman. and women from different countries and different socioeconomic statuses. there's diversity in the experience of womanhood? what a wild concept

incidentally, this why terfs tend to be white women. from the combahee river collective statement, 1977:

(emphasis mine)

"To argue that transsexual women should not enter [women-exclusive spaces] because their experiences are different would have to assume that all other women's experiences are the same, and this is a racist assumption. The argument that transsexual women have experienced some degree of male privilege should not bar them from our communities once we realize that not all women are equally privileged or oppressed."

(from "Whose feminism is it, anyway?" by Emi Koyama)

This. This is the core of it. This is why trans-exclusionary radical feminism is rooted in racism, colonialism, and imperialism. It excludes the idea that there can be any other type of “woman” except one very (white, colonialist, imperialist) definition.

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.

THE NHL????

For context these were the preceeding tweets, and there are multiple news stories (mostly from Republicans throwing a tantrum over the NHL supporting trans people, which is why I'm not linking to the articles) about the trans draft. So it isn't just an empty statement or an intern going rogue amidst twitters death rattle. This is like, a big deal

i wonder if this is all a plot for elon to inflate the views of his own tweets

I actually suspected this considering my suspicion for why I think he implemented it in the first place
