Welcome to #TransTuesday!

This week we’re talking about a horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad concept that plagues the trans community, and you might be surprised to learn where it comes from:

TRANSMEDICALISM, and WPATH version 1.

buckle up, this is gonna be a rough ride.

  FUCK AUTISM SPEAKS  

a hate group masquerading as a charity, Autism $peaks is run entirely by neurotypicals, with only a few token autistic members with no real power in their leadership at any given time. the hate group brings in millions of dollars in donations each year, claiming to support parents and caregivers of autistic people. where does that money go? overwhelmingly, toward advertising campaigns aimed to vilify autism and towards eugenics research aimed to eradicate our people. in a typical year only 3-4% of their budget actually reaches any families, and the majority of that goes to ABA, a cruel and abusive program widely decried by Autistics and by researchers outside of ABA (https://stopabasupportautistics.home.blog/2019/08/11/the-great-big-aba-opposition-resource-list/ )

for years, Autistics have promoted a boycott of Autism Speaks, avoiding financially supporting corporations that donate to them, and organizing to persuade companies to stop their support. we have been very successful both in spreading the word about this organization and in cutting off their funding. each year normally their budget shrinks. between 2022 and 2023, Autism $peaks saw a further 33% reduction in revenue!

these companies are the major donors to Autism Speaks: https://www.autismspeaks.org/meet-our-partners however, there are always many local events and donation drives in the month of April, so look out for those around you and oppose them as well.

our tactics are proven effective, but as long as Autism Speaks still exists, we will continue to fight them. no reform will be accepted, only total abolition of the organization and the entire movement it represents.

a note about Autistic iconography:

we Autistics reject the puzzle piece as a symbol . any organization or event still using puzzle pieces is clearly not listening to Autistic people, and should not be trusted. our community’s symbol is the infinity:  with the rainbow infinity representing all neurodivergent people, and the red or gold  signifying autism in particular. we never use the color blue on its own in our organizing and symbolism–that is Autism Speaks’ color. we also use this pride flag  represented here by a cat because that is the emoji we have.
