off to a Gender Sexuality and Relationship diversity think thank next week where I am facilitating a couple of discussions
One I want to explore the concept of "neuronormativity" which I am feeling more and more speaks to me rather than neurodivergent/typical
#autism #neurodivergent @actuallyautistic
neuronormativity not also challenges an us/ them binary but, just as wth heternormativity/mononormativity etc highlights that complete adherence to the norms is next to impossible and (as described by foucalt) we become each others policmen to defend the norms rather than dismantling the system of oppression it also allows more space for white supremacy discussions (am literally brainstorming rn )@actuallyautistic neuro
@counsellingkaren @actuallyautistic love a bit of Foucault in the morning. The panopticon of "is X person an ally or biding their time or simply feeling outnumbered themselves and will flip when emboldened" is a gamble that stresses us out. For sexuality, gender expression, race, or neurotype, it's hard out there in the world.
