I wish neurotypical people knew how many 'scripts' autistic people have to use. I've had to learn the right way to smile, or respond to a 'how are you' in the 'right' way. Sometimes my mind goes blank and I forget a script, and I say strange things. It's hard

Attending LGBTQ+ events is hard for me.
Someone always asks why I'm there, assuming I'm straight. Or asks how being queer and Muslim 'works'. Every time.
I deserve to just enjoy being a queer person in a queer space. Just like everyone else can.

I'm genderqueer. If I say 'as a woman' it's shorthand for:
"I'm a person that was socialised as a woman for a large part of my life and identify with some aspects of it but not all and 'woman' doesn't accurately describe my gender but it's quicker to say"

You're still queer even if you:
- Don't drink
- Don't like clubbing
- Are not interested in casual sex
- Don't dress in rainbows 24/7
- Are religious or spiritual
No admonishment of those that do enjoy these things, but queer folk are all different!

Pride can be a bit awkward for me. I love it, until someone asks me why I'm there, or looks at me with discomfort. If someone's at Pride they're probably LGBTQ+ or an ally. Don't be that person and ask someone to explain their identity to you.

Being autistic isn't super fun and quirky. It's painful, feeling like a constant outsider. Knowing you're breaking some unspoken rule that no one ever explained to you. So please believe us when we tell you we're struggling.

Did you know that Anne Frank was bi? Her diary was originally censored, leaving out passages:
“once when I slept with a girl friend I had a strong desire to kiss her, and that I did do so… I go into ecstasies every time I see the naked figure of a woman”

Being yourself, unmasked, is so hard. There are some wonderful people in my life that I can be myself around. But I have to maintain a degree of fake neurotypical-ness or I make people uncomfortable. It's never my intention. But who I am isn't always welcome.

When your child comes out as LGBT+, they are trusting you with a part of themselves.
If you no longer love them for who they are, your love was always conditional.
You lose the right to watch them grow into the person they were always meant to be.

If you support trans rights but don't support rights for sex workers, you've failed to see the intersection between 2 marginalised groups.
Trans sex workers especially are at a high risk of violence every single day. Sex work needs to be decriminalised.
