<![CDATA[The terfs have moved the goalpoasts.]]>The terfs have moved the goalpoasts. Literally the day after the ban on trans people using public restrooms came into effect, the transphobia seamlessly transitioned into ableism.

They are now targeting young women using mobility aids.

Read all the ableism containing the same 'social contagion' moral panic here: https://archive.ph/OMv9c

Female is an adjective, a female human is a girl or woman.
It's for sure dehumanising.

Ableism has always been a part of their movement. As has for example xenophobia, in their assertions that male immigrants are responsible for a disproportionate number of sexual assaults on "British" (i.e. white) women.

The UK terf movement has been ableist (and racist, misogynist) from the start.

Also, it's not like we just had i dunno a mass-disabling event in the form of a systemic virus that causes long-term symptoms in a subset of people. Or that this event has improved understanding and access to diagnosis for various long-term disabling conditions that may or may not be sequelae from viral infection 🙃

It's Not working so well for the political narrative that 'weaklings are overdiagnosed with those disorders'.

The interim report points to a shift in recognizing women with neurodiversity and official diagnosis being a necessary gateway of support and acknowledgement as causes to the rise in diagnoses, not 'weaklings'.

Ordering a Cass style review with the purpose of banning care and support for neurodiverse people. But that the fascists would move so fast into openly talking about eugenics, even I'm baffled by that.

while I don't have any mobility issues, I've used canes and staffs as props with an outfit on events. And I can only say: it's so nice to have something to lean on.

I can only begin to imagine how much difference in quality of life a simple mobility aid can bring if you have mobility issues.

As a disabled trans guy who recently got to upgrade my cane to a walking stick, I can feel this headline breathing down my neck.

I'm hoping to find a nice wooden walking stick, soon. 🤞

I have had so many people ask me "when do you get to get rid of that cane?" Even people who have known me for years or decades seem to judge my use of a mobility aid at times. They forget my fibromyalgia diagnosis came long before all the others, and I resisted diagnoses ending in "syndrome" for 15 years. Acknowledging my mobility needs enables me to do so much more now.

More people should use walking sticks, not fewer!!! We all have back problems, yo!

Please don't wait to enable yourself to be more active just because some people have their walking sticks up their asses, instead of in their hands! (Or any other mobility aid that might improve your quality of life.)
