tired and things

I argue and I argue on behalf of marginalised women until I am blue in the face and I get more stressed because people just will not listen and choose to live in their bubble where everything is fine and anything even resembling diversity and multiculturalism is 'PC nonsense' and people need to 'stop complaining' and everyone is 'too sensitive' or 'offended way too easily' but how do you explain that to people who suffer from PTSD that they 'chose to be offended' by your toxic rape jokes while they're having fucking flashbacks or that people who watch TV and don't see people like them who aren't the butt of jokes want to 'monopolise everything' or whatever I just want to see a transgender man who isn't killed all because he decided 'you know what I don't want to live in this body anymore it feels wrong it doesn't match I'm going to do something about that so it does match' or someone with autism who isn't basically just a human calculator because A LOT OF US ARE NOT HUMAN CALCULATORS WE ARE NOT SAVANTS WE ARE NOT RAIN MAN WE ARE NOT JJ FROM SKINS WE ARE NOT YOUR COUSIN'S BEST FRIEND'S SIBLING and because of my autism I don't know how to back up my arguments when people try to grind me down and tell me to 'get off my high horse' when I get passionate and angry about things and most of my friends are women and most of them are teenagers who ARE SICK OF BEING TOLD THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVE UP TO THIS STANDARD OR THAT STANDARD and they are sick of your sexist jokes and anecdotes that you tell to your mates down the pub between shifts AND I AM STANDING WITH THEM BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT IS RIGHT and if I lose a few male friends aged 18-50 in the process then so fucking be it because I do not like sexism or racism or homophobia or transphobia or biphobia or any of the nasty -isms and -phobias that everyone else loves to use as the basis for their shitty harmful jokes!!!!!!
