This is particularly poignant as an autistic person. Being told to calm down when there’s fucking nuclear reaction levels of anxiety going on in your brain is a level of condescension that would set off even the calmest motherfucker on the planet if they could experience this for even 5 fucking seconds.

I’m not a woman, but I can at least partially relate to how awful it is to be told to calm down. Shit suuuuuuuucks.

Only if it’s profitable or they’re forced to do so through legislation. Otherwise they won’t even try.
