Much as I'm not *actually* hurting the religous people; I'm not punching them, removing their rights, burning their houses down, I'm also not *actually* hurting the autistic people. The pain they feel, while real and valid, comes out of *their* perspective on the world.

For example, I strongly believe men should be allowed into the abortion debate. It doesn't affect them, but that *doesn't matter* - their opinions on how a good world runs are valid no matter what. Ofc, I can view their opinions as less important to me because they are men.

abortion is a bit different as pregnancy can only occur with 2 ppl so I would def agree that men should have a say. But I think someone who is not autistic offering an opinion to the life of an autistic person - is like a white person saying they have an opinion about being black

And again! Yes! I totally agree! the problem is that cis/abled voices so often drown us out, and make it harder for the community to handle discrepancies within itself because we aren’t being listened to anyway and have to constantly deflect abled people’s opinions on our lives
