Autistic people are not a disease. They never have been. Autistic people have fundamentally shaped our world...an incredibly net positive community. To condemn the existence of any autistic person is unacceptable. Autism is an inherent part of our culture and history, and it always will be.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now
A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.
