Australia has been fantastic and approved gay rights, which is amazzing!! i protested back when we were trying to get gay marriage and rights and all that as i strongly believed we should have the same rights
Oh wow, it's not THAT long ago
Yeah not that long at all, should have happened ages ago!!!Oh wow, it's not THAT long ago
Very peaceful, we didn't cause any issues or anything.YES IT IS!
Was it a peaceful protest? Was anyone arrested or crowds dispersed and all that?
If I ask too many questions I apologise, and you don't have to answer
Oh, i thought the gays was just your phrase. didn't realise it's the name of a protest group, is it?
Thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware, just read this: https://abcnews.go.com/US/map-gender-affirming-care-targeted-us/story?id=97443087
I'm very sorry to hear that you're affected by this RavenFreak
I wish all the best for you! 
I don't mind sharing, I live in Missouri. There's rumors going around that they might screen people for autism, and if I'm screened I most likely will be on the spectrum. That means there's a chance I may lose access to my hormones it's terrible, since my governor thinks that people with high functioning autism isn't capable of making medical decisions for themselves which is a completely asinine thought. Those also suffering from anxiety, and depression will be denied gender affirming care too. Most people who are suffering from gender dysphoria often suffer from anxiety and depression issues because they are dealing with the mental pain of being in a body that doesn't match their brain.
Oh gosh!
Does this not run contrary to discrimination laws? 
I hope you get the result you hope for. I'm sorry to hear that you'll be getting screened, as it's evident you don't like that.
It absolutely does go against discriminatory laws. It's making neurodivergent people such as us seem like we're lesser beings and that we're not capable of making decisions on our own. I'm really hoping this emergency order gets challenged and overruled...Oh gosh!
I know a lot about this subject and am strongly opposed to stereotypes.
Labels can be so harmful! I'm shocked this is happening because I feel there's been a lot of advancement in society with respect to challenging ableist attitudes.
Labels are harmful. I just feel we should all adapt to each other, as opposed to expecting the disadvantaged to expect to the majority. It should be a two-way street.

I don't know what it's like in the USA, but in the UK, it's a challenge to even get diagnosed with autism when you are high-functioning and have developed the appropriate strategies, unless you get diagnosed at a very young age. So many ppl WANT to be diagnosed, but end up feeling gaslighted as the challenges faced and the hard work in overcoming the obstacles have been dismissed. So they end up unable to receive the support they need and deserve :/
Interesting! Would you like to share more about that?

When I was in high school I protested against school rules where all boys need to trim their hair like an "army." I liked sporting long hair and we protested by wearing a black band.
Wow, that's not nice at all (as in, to dictate those rules!)When I was in high school I protested against school rules where all boys need to trim their hair like an "army." I liked sporting long hair and we protested by wearing a black band.
