Transgender adults have a higher probability of reporting a disability compared with cisgender men and women.

I’m one of those old-fashioned disabled people, you know with an actual life-long disability that restricts my activities of daily life, who has had to watch as the meaning of the word “disabled” has been eroded over the past two decades.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that these TG “disabled” figures have been compiled by self-report with no definition of the word “disabled”.

It’s like sudden rash of female celebrities reporting their autism and adhd diagnoses - it doesn’t seem to have handicapped you in anyway as you performed on TV, stage and screen, unlike the 10 year old autistic child in my class who bit and spat at people.

I was on the UK teacher Reddit sub where newly diagnosed autists and adhd’ers were asking what accommodations they could get away with asking for. I felt like typing in all caps, the ones you have always needed you fucking cunts! You should know what sorts of accommodations you need because it’ll be the fucking shit you can’t do or need help doing!

And don’t get me started on the cunts who have begun to use “crip” as an identity, fuck that too.
