I’ve never seen anyone define autism that way. Being “unusual” and willing to question society’s standards isn’t inherently autistic (this is how I am too).

Autism is a developmental disorder that gives people sensory issues, an absence of social skills, and a childlike personality, along with digestive issues, eating struggles, and a host of other symptoms that negatively affect quality of life. It causes suffering so it needs a cure.

Also it’s possible to be immoral without being unethical, and vice versa. Morality is that which upholds the existing social order (which is not always ethical).

It may not be technically illegal but Sharia is still socially enforced, and Sharia calls for my death. The UAE government doesn’t even let binary trans people in to the country, let alone non-binary and gender nonconforming people.

In Iran, that only applies if you are binary and straight. An asexual, agender person like me would be sent to swing or be stoned.

When they stop using Indian slave labor and respect women’s and LGBT rights, I will accept their rule as legitimate. Not before. Until then they are just tyrants imposing their values on others at gunpoint. The fact that they’re not as bad as the Saudis or Afghanistan doesn’t mean they’re “liberal.”

If Palestinians (the ones who don’t want to integrate into Israeli society) don’t like Israel, why don’t they just move? There are 22 Arab nations they can choose from. Why don’t they move to their holy land of Saudi Arabia? Why don’t they go to Iraq, or Morocco, or anywhere else in the Islamic world and leave Jewish people and democratic non-Jewish Israelis alone?

I knew as soon as I mentioned Israel the antisemites would come out of the woodwork to downvote and leave comments like this.

Let me make myself clear: I support Israel unconditionally, think it should own the entire Levant, and believe any threat to Israel is an existential threat to the Jewish people, especially African and Asian Jews (who have found safety and refuge in Israel after facing Islamic antisemitism in their countries of birth). 🇮🇱
