Identity Politics - Tumblr Posts
I agree except transgender is a real thing
Okay but like- did anybody else who was born as some combination of white/rich/male (this one specifically isn't from my experience but the same discourse applies)/able bodied/from a loving family... But then also autistic (in a way that could be masked for a very long time as "just being weird" with the added bonus of ending up lowkey highkey believing you're a failure of a human being), who went online at an age where they were WAY too young for that, got into Tumblr radical leftie discourse, heard people say words that, if taken literally, mean that they want you dead for your privileges, took that literally, because they were an autistic child who didn't understand the internet yet, and had that mess up their sense of self worth (which was already not doing great thanks to a, so far, entire life of outsiderness and social isolation, yeah?) so badly that to this day it's imprinted on some corner of their belief system "my privileged identities make me an inherently evil oppressor, if I killed myself all my unjust privileges could go to the people who actually need them" in a way that they never quite managed to unlearn, no matter how obvious the ridiculousness of it has became as they grew up?
... Or was it just me?
... Don't give internet access to kids that are still in elementary school.
