That's more or less true but it also really effaces the specificity of Judaism and implies its supercession by Christianity, which was the logic of Christendom.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

If you're trying to propose to people with trans children in their lives that their lives are a worthwhile sacrifice for other Democratic priorities, consider whether you'd be convinced that your children should be sacrificed for the greater good of someone else's family.

Spotlight: Biology is multidimensional
Biologist Ari Berkowitz has set out how there is no consistent definition of human biological sex, and that even sex chromosomes are not a binary indicator. In a new book, he sets out that a number of indicators, including chromosomes, gonads, genitals and 'secondary indicators' such as breasts, voice, waist size and body hair, form a 'multidimensional' set of sliding scales – all of which show sex is anything but binary.

There is no such thing as “mild” autism. If you are autistic, you are disabled. Yes, there is HUGE variability re: how that disability manifests. Almost infinite and complicated and often misunderstood and underestimated variability. But there is no such thing as “mild” autism. #neurodiversity

Also: “Chosen” has nothing to do with being “saved” or going to heaven, nor does it mean non-Jews are going to hell. Those are Christian concepts. It didn’t even occur to me to mention this until just now, because the idea is so foreign to Judaism. #Jewish

The initial meaning of the term “antisemitism” was Nazis attempting to make hating Jews sound scientific. “Semitic” refers to language groups, not people. Antisemitism has always meant “hatred of Jews,” not “hatred of people born in a desert” or even “hatred of speakers of Semitic languages.”

That’s a pretty common part of the Autistic Experience™️. We annoy people by existing. We come off as hostile or arrogant without meaning to. We communicate differently so people misunderstand us. We blabber on about interests that other people find unlikable. It’s lonely being different.

When we explain that we’re autistic, we’re not “making an “excuse.” We’re giving information that could make communicating with us smoother, if non-autistics cared to put in even the tiniest effort to learn. But most of them aren’t interested in learning or changing; it’s always on us.
