All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.
Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

I think part of why the old-school autism researchers are frustrated by the rise in diagnoses is bc they can't separate the disabling comorbidities of autism from the baseline cognitive styles of autism, and because they think of it as a linear spectrum of disability instead of spokes in a wheel

So to me the question should not be "are you autistic enough to qualify for this diagnosis" vis a vis functionality under capitalism; rather, we should ask "to what extent are these minority characteristics and the friction they create negatively impacting your well-being?"

Eugenics is the tool of the oppressor. We do not need it. We will not use it.
Hate to break it to you, but this means:
Mentioning “the gene pool”
The concept of IQ and BMI
Standardized tests
“Gifted” AND “special” education
Rawdogging viruses
“Social Darwinism”
“Effective altruism”

And we already know the study’s results were falsified, that those playing guards were instructed to brutalize ti get that result, & when a similar study was taken without that manipulation, those in the guard role were kind. But refutations never circulate as far as convenient false findings. 😔
This is pointless and gross.
The Stanford prison experiment already stands on its own. And the reason it was never performed again is because it’s completely unethical by today’s standards.
We already know things are bad. Making it into entertainment is disgusting.

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’.
The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

I've found that this attitude goes hand in hand with a failure to realize that every single issue that is now labelled "radical trans activism" was a compromise trans people won with those in power that power is now reneging on.

be weaponized against the disabled.
We are seen as a drain on society.

This is why we say a capitalist society can’t be trusted to ethically administer assisted dying.
If it was considered unethical to suggest death to someone with terminal illness, why is it ok to do it to the disabled?
Why are people having it pushed at them in lieu of treatment?

MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) in Canada was originally only for terminal illness
It was expanded in 2022 to include the disabled
When that expansion occurred, the safeguard preventing doctors from suggesting it was removed
It used to be illegal for doctors to suggest it
Now it’s encouraged
