I normally don't like to get into discussions like this. But from what im gathering, yeah, the LGBT community can be quite sensitive and vocal about what people say. It also really doesn't help when someone says something wrong or bad and people of the community lash out at them in a rude mannor..
But I do remember in the past when saying those kind of slurs were considered 'cool' and 'edgey'. I used to say those slurs a little myself. I was younger and stupid back then. But man, 4chan is a lot older than I remember!XD
If I missed the point and all of this makes no sense, I apologise. Please don't be mad at me. It was a lot for me to read and process and sometimes all that info gets mixed up. I'm mostly going off of what I know of the subject at hand.:P
I will say though, I never knew that you of all people were autistic. I don't have it myself, but I was in Special Ed, too for a lot of my school years. I was kinda bullied by one guy back in junior high for being emotionally sensitive and being Special Ed. But the ironic thing about that was that he was Special Ed, too.
Well, it's not an easy topic to discuss. That's partially why I brought up the story of my upbringing. Our lived experiences shape the perception of our world. And I admit, I was an overly sensitive, whiny bitch. I let people get to me. Some still do, but I brought up that story to prove the point that maybe, if we don't let ourselves be dragged down by those that sell to keep us down, then we can talk, learn from each other, and grow. That was the second point, learning from others. We should reach out, share our experiences, and mutually grow. Remember that not everybody has the same worldview, and that's fine. Use theirs as an opportunity to expand your own.
Yeah, it's not something I bring up often, to be honest. I feel like it's more restrictive than liberating, even though there are "support services" available. It's too easy to get dragged down in a bureaucratic system that holds you back, rather than helping you grow. That's my opinion, at least...
