A message to my fellow undiagnosed / diagnosis complicated autistics:

It’s sad that I even have to say this but please do not just say “Glad I never got diagnosed” and abandon the autistic community. Even though you are not put on the registry, you are still a part of the community and you can’t just “check out” because it will affect you either way. Even if hypothetically it somehow never affected you, just ignoring what is happening and potentially going to happen to autistic people is allowing fascism to continue. You know it’s eugenics, and standing by and watching them strip the privacy rights of people without doing anything, betraying your fellow autistics and allowing them to face eugenics while you do nothing for “comfort” will cause extreme harm. Staying silent is not being “neutral” or “staying out of it”, it’s death. We must stand with and fight with our diagnosed autistic siblings, especially those with high support needs. Now is not the time to ditch the community for “safety”, now is the time to fight.

One thing you can do right now is contact your representative and express your opposition for the registry and the taking of medical files from diagnosed autistics without their consent.

For me this isn't even about empathy or sympathy (though there's value in those as well), it is just straight-up a human rights thing. Once you have decided that there is *any* category of human that can be treated as less-than-human you've said that humanity is conditional, and so are the rights that come with it. You've already lost, you've granted the fascists their point because *you agree with them* that some people don't deserve to be treated like humans.

someone called me "divisive" for pointing out someone's binary language in a transgender-specific post, so here's a reminder:

it's people putting humanity into two gender boxes doing the dividing, not nonbinary people wanting to be seen.

it's the people separating good valid transgender men and women worth fighting for from supposedly invalid nonbinary people who aren't even worth mentioning doing the dividing, not nonbinary people pointing out systemic exclusion.

it's those excluding nonbinary who are being divisive, not nonbinary people taking up space.

most of the time calling nonbinary people divisive is absolutely ridiculous.
