RURAL HEALTHCARE MATTERS! RURAL HEALTHCARE MATTERS SO MUCH!

"You're not disabled."

What am I then? no like describe it? What term would you use? disadvantaged? less capable? ill? handicapped? limited?

I am limited by an illness that will never leave me and has resulted in permanent damage to my body that will worsen over time.

What would you prefer to use if the the label "disabled" is too fucking scary. (I dont have emojis on my laptop but here would be an eyeroll).

"Fandom's a hobby, it's not real life" will never cease to baffle me when I read it.

Me typing this is real life. People sending death threats is real life. People exporting moral panic and radfem rhetoric from the fandoms they learn them in, into their classrooms and communities outside of tumblr, is real life.

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

So, I follow this “bad commercial interior design” Facebook page and-

Screenshotting this because the OP may or may not block me, but not everything is an economic system. Sometimes, people are just assholes to be assholes because they are mean people. There are bad people in the world who do and say evil things and it's not because of a socio-economic system; it's because it's just them.

You’re not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.

getting diagnosed as bipolar is something else, man.

Like, part of the reason I no longer participate in discourse is because 95% of people think they have "won" the argument because they use political and SJ jargon. Imagine telling someone that they are or maybe wrong in 16 paragraphs; meanwhile, normal people will say that someone is wrong in seven words or less.

Also, a lot of people I have had these discussions with think that informed opinions are facts when, in fact, they are not. Informed opinions are backed up by resources, not just emotions; that doesn't make them magically into fact.

And yes, I will value facts over feelings. I'm sorry you feel a certain way about something and you feel like something is unfair, but the fact of the matter is that whatever it is you are mad about still exists in the world and you have to put in the effort to change things. Just yelling into the void is going to achieve nothing.

In normal people terms:

To learn to not be a dick to disabled people, you need to educate yourself and treat people kindly, regardless of race, sex, gender, etc.

This may be a hot take but being kind should NOT be a difficult thing to do but selfish and entitled people make it so abd it's annoying.
