Funny how they assume that “honest” people want to use self checkout in the first place

This is a really great article for an underreported problem. (The system, not the kids!) Thanks for posting!

Given what happened in Rwanda 30 years ago, and given that we haven’t seen a repeat since then, I think Kagame is doing a good job. I’m not sure how I feel about him being in power for so long, but I also don’t think we’re in the best place to judge (the West) given how abysmally we failed Rwanda over the past 200 years.

It might just be my use case. I shop for 7 people and it’s a lot of unpaid labour to do it myself.

Yep, 100%. People who are concerned about “men being men and women being women” are trans-exclusionary, guaranteed.

There is no defense for ABA, period. ABA techniques were adapted for gay conversion therapy, which says a lot. ABA absolutely does not help anyone to learn important skills, but forces people to hide who they are to avoid shame and punishment. It’s abusive, causes trauma, and is not okay.

The use of “levels” is also profoundly problematic. Google it.

I understand what you’re looking for, but happily talking about ABA in an autism space is like asking LGBTQ folks about their positive experiences with gay conversion therapy. Others might feel differently, but some of us have been affected by our past experiences and don’t really care to be reminded of them.

I’m thankful you posted this so I can block you and not have to interact with your nonsense. I wish all transphobes were this transparent.
