There are several autistic forum members that I'm aware of on here, and yet there are some members who think autistic people spend their time soiling themselves and banging their heads off walls! I'm not saying autism is necessarily a good thing (although some autistic people are genuinely talented), but there is still unnecessary prejudice against something people can't help.p8riot wrote: ↑March 6th, 2023, 8:31 pm look at the trans/gender thing right now. How many people have indulged it to the point that that's all they are- whatever their so-called gender(s) is, nothing else? The same is happening for others with different mental issues. They are being told that that is all or the primary identity of who they are. I have a cousin who autistic (high functioning). He has finally accepted that part of himself and is better for it and more capable knowing that he is different and that is okay. But that is not who he is. It is only a part of his identity.
That said, I have heard recently that faking conditions is the latest fashion on TikTok. I don't watch TikTok itself but have seen some of these on YouTube. Very depressing. I have a friend who has Tourette's (not the foul-mouthed variety), and he really struggles with the tics it gives him. I pray for him regularly.
Transgender is part of a larger picture. There are several reasons it is encouraged in my view:
* Increases social division and keeps people's eyes off the top of society.
* Voluntary sterilisation in some cases, as a form of population control.
* Undermining concepts of identity and physical reality, which destroy individuality in the long run (despite claiming the opposite)
* Preparation and grooming for the wider transhumanist movement.
