Or just avoid the whole problem by referring to it as "modular Danish construction toy".
I wrote “playing with his Legos” in an upcoming article because I was being cute. Showed it to two autistic friends who are men. Both of them were like “you absolutely cannot say Legos, you’ll get crucified”

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.
Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.
I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

Autistics who pick up Americanisms slightly easier than the general population from using popular culture to try to fit in and understand other people and help with scripting VS Autistics who like the preservation of regional language and dialect FIIIIIGHT!!!

I have witnessed and been part of so many really lovely and amusing interactions between other autistic people today(so much so that I now need to go for a quiet walk with the dog🫠). This one is particularly lovely but funny.

When neurotypical folks don’t understand sarcasm …
Guys I have terrible news - this post has gone viral on Facebook, promoting hundreds of rage-filled comments from people who have taken it very seriously indeed. And, most annoyingly, the Autism Parents have found it!!
Mary Walker, 9, who has always displayed autistic traits, was miraculously fixed by her parents insisting that she stop it at once.

Increasingly the state of trans rights in the UK is that things that have been settled aspects of these rights for more than two decades are being stripped away. The idea that "trans activists" are making novel demands is ludicrous.

I am not a "trans activist". I am simply a trans person who wants trans people like myself to be able to live lives free of dignity and fear in this country. I wouldn't know where to start to be an activist about that but I don't think that's a controversial point.

I actually think it's bad that the law thinks that calling a 17 year old a "sissy porn-watching scumbag", a "groomer" and a "disgusting incel" in public is not a crime, and indeed I do not think criticising this would constitute "[picking] sides in the debate about sex and gender identity".

There is no other word for it? They just began an obsessive campaign of legal and political attack on our rights, which trans people - as a scattered and isolated group with limited political connections - have been unable to do much about.
