“Invisibility means not being able to connect with others like you. It means being very likely to come to the conclusion that you are broken. It means seeing no boxes to check and being filled with fear or shame or frustration. It means being isolated in a way that is unimaginable to most people”
Julie Sondra Decker, The Invisible Orientation: An Introduction to Asexuality

“My advice is to GET WEIRD so that the people who will love you for being you (your tribe) can find you.”
Benjamin Brown

“Taking something at face value is assuming that the ‘face’ is not a mask.”

“When Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling published the piece "TERF Wars" on her blog in the summer of 2020, she specifically mentioned her fear that many transgender men are actually Autistic girls who weren't conventionally feminine, and have been influenced by transactivists on the internet into identifying out of womanhood. In presenting herself as defending disabled "girls," she argued for restricting young trans Autistic people's ability to self-identity and access necessary services and health care.
Rowling's perspective (which she shares with many gender critical folks) is deeply dehumanising to both the trans and Autistic communities.”
Devon Price, Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity

“The only reason they tolerated the transgender community in some of these movements was because we were gung-ho, we were front liners. We didn’t take no shit from nobody. We had nothing to lose. You all had rights. We had nothing to lose. I’ll be the first one to step on any organization, any
politician’s toes if I have to, to get the rights for my community.”
Sylvia Rivera, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR): Survival, Revolt, and Queer Antagonist Struggle
