Post No. 2,878 - Empathy

This is from the coming week’s interesting reading post. It is too important not to have its own post:

“How Does Autistic Empathy Work? (Autism, Double Empathy)”   https://youtu.be/yYbdNw7JRCQ   This is the most brilliant analysis of empathy (especially the types of empathy, and the desire of some neurotypicals for performative responses) I have ever come across     

If I get the time and energy, I may add a few comments on some of the key points - but the whole video should be watched.

Note that I am cutting back on aspects of my posts - see here

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
