By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the “before” picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the “after” picture looks like Kratos

This is one of the top posts in r/transtimelines and it really sums up what I’m talking about

My irl saw this post and sent me this even crazier transformation today! The little guy to Kratos pipeline is real!!!

at a bar in lower manhattan and they’re playing catholic choral music. on the wall there’s a giant mural of gregorian monks on a raft

the only other people in here are talking quietly about japanese verb conjugation. there are many statues of gargoyles and gnomes

its been about 10 years since she showed me this but i am STILL thinking about how my (then) 4 year old cousin drew birds

OBSESSED with this creature; she draws the body from above/below and the head from the side, with a giant eyeball that takes up the entire head and never looks in a specific direction. in a very old-fashioned sense: iconic

Yeah I would have guessed this was on some ancient pottery or something

apparently we r doing this again

Selective Mutism: an anxiety disorder. The inability to talk is caused by social anxiety due to the people and/or situation around the selectively mute individual. Often starts in childhood.

Speech Loss: a term for being unable to speak for a certain period of time, usually due to autism-related reasons (e.g. being overwhelmed or burnt out). Can overlap with Selective Mutism, the disorder, but it is not the same thing. (For one, SL is a trait; SM is a whole disorder.)

Nonverbal/Nonspeaking: a term for people who are always or almost always unable to talk. If you’re unable to talk for an hour/day/week, you’re not “going nonverbal”; you’re “losing speech”. If you’ve never been able to talk more than a few utterances, that’s nonverbal.

Semiverbal/Semispeaking: a term for people who struggle greatly to speak to communicate. This might include taking awhile to form sentences, speaking with very few words, relying on echolalia, using gestures to communicate, and not always making sense to others.

Hyperverbal: people who speak more than what’s typical, though we can still experience speech loss. This can include things like having a large vocabulary, using more words than necessary/usual to say something, talking to ourselves, talking for the sake of talking, using a lot of non-communicative echolalia, not realizing we’re talking, or rambling often.

A Note: over time, your place on the verbalizing spectrum (nonverbal, semiverbal, average, hyperverbal) CAN change, but that’s not, like, “oh i was hyperverbal this week and nonverbal last week”; it’s about overarching patterns. Additionally, Selective Mutism does not inherently put someone at a certain spot on the verbalizing spectrum.

Reblogging this again because people who definitely aren’t nonverbal/nonspeaking are littering our tags again and I’m so pissed off right now I hate hate HATE that people not only speak over us in real life but ON FUCKING TUMBLR WHERE WE ACTUALLY CAN COMMUNICATE OUR THOUGHTS!!!

AND THOSE POSTS ARE BEING REBLOGGED BY PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER BECAUSE THEY’VE READ OUR COMPLAINTS AT LEAST TWICE IN THE PAST!
