7 out of 8, if you didn't say you weren't in the larger 40k community I would have thought that you were.

What's up with the wall of severed heads

I'm not going to argue with you on words that have already become accepted by the people whom they affect, or that most of the things you are saying are othering to the people affected and work to say that there is something wrong with them for being different / have been used to actively dehumanize marginalized groups.

I will say you are on the wrong Lemmy if this is the fight you want to make.

You're not being trolled this is literally how the English language works: https://www.google.com/search?q=eject%20etymology%20&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m

So would you propose we just say autistic people and normal people? Doesn't that seem kind of cruel and bothering?

Should we also say asexual people and normal people, or aromantic people and normal people, trans people and normal people?

Where do you draw the line?

Aautistic doesn't follow English's rules for making words, we don't do double vowl startings unless they are from very specific loan words that were popular enough to break the rules.

Same was alloistic doesn't work without a hyphen because when you have an o from a prefix and I from a suffix you need to drop one of them to make the word work.

Basically English has illegal parrings of letters you can't make and when they would come up you need to hyphen them together or drop letters.

See eject, which is ex-ject but we can't have xj so we drop the x.

Or attend, which is ad-tend but we can't do dt so make it tt instead.

Wading should be wade-ing but ei, so we drop the e.

Etc

I hope you feel/do better soon. 💙

You just look like a woman to me. If I were to see you while walking down the street I don't think you bring trans would honestly even cross my mind. It can be hard to see yourself as others see you, but from an impartial observer, you look fine 💙
