#Beneficiaries

[lady-wildflower]

I gotta get this out of my brain or it's gonna fester.

Anyone who says anything to the effect of social support systems enabling lazy people who just want a nice lazy lifestyle, or who harps on beneficiary-bashing policy and deciding that we're bottom feeder leeches who need more scrutiny or we'll lie to get money, needs to fuck off and preferably go die in a hole. The experience of trying to get taken seriously as someone with invisible disabilities in even Aotearoa New Zealand's system is dehumanising at best and if I could go to someone else or find something else I would in a heartbeat.

For the last several months I've been trying to move from Jobseeker with medical exemption (which the previous National Party government put almost all disabled clients on and their new government intends to attack anyone on "Jobseeker" if they're not jobseeking despite it being THEM who made it completely incorrectly named) onto the Supported Living Payment, which is the only other option for disabled people. Trouble is, our outgoing left-wing government never fixed that whole problem the Nats made and the criteria for being on the Supported Living Payment, ie the poverty-level scraps afforded those deemed worthy, seems to be that if you're not dying, fuck you.

So my case gets sent to a bureaucratic panel of people I've never met, never will meet, and who know almost nothing about me, who might just be tired after a long day and can't be bothered dealing with anything complicated, whose job it is to decide if I'll be able to afford to get by when I move out.

Oh, and the system has never been properly managed or funded so basic shit like letting me know I needed to give them more information didn't happen until I phoned them after three months of waiting. So I did as best I could, except of course the public health sector is strained at best and no referral for someone who doesn't need in-home care or something is ever going to be taken. So I had to basically get bootleg diagnosis of autism from an only tangentially related youth specialist. Then they needed me to sign a form letting them talk to said specialist and send in a letter explaining to them why I think I'm worthy of support. Got nothing back from that.

Yesterday, I went in for an appointment to figure out shit like moving out. Because y'see, it's almost impossible to afford to on Jobseeker, even with the unintuitively named Temporary Support Payment which I'll be able to get if I get rid of two thirds of my savings. Case worker was twenty minutes late, which was a pretty indicative sign I'd say. And while it wasn't the subject of that appointment, the transfer to SLP came up, so it was discussed briefly.

Before I could even finish my sentence trying to explain to the case worker how my combination of anxiety and autism disable me, the case worker interrupted me and condescended to me over 'everyone has that' style shit before I could even try to explain the difference, and condescended about how everyone deals with that and how can it possibly stop me from working. Remember that severe anxiety as well as autism? Yeah, killer combination, welcome to meltdown town, because that woman had just indicated she was never going to take me seriously, never going to listen to me, would always attempt to gaslight and nitpick me of my life experience in order to find an excuse to deny me support, and my entire financial future depends on my being taken seriously. I couldn't talk for almost the entire remaining appointment, was crying and hoping the snot wouldn't stain my mask visibly, and I had to try to communicate over text by showing her my notes app and try to salvage it.

Obviously, not possible because that's incredibly slow. I was able to show her a maximum of two sentences over that method the entire appointment. What she resorted to was 'okay, I'll send you the questions the SLP team have over email and you can reply to the email via text okay?' Which, credit where credit's due, that's not a bad impulse. That's about the only good thing.

So I go home, stressed and on the verge of bursting into tears the entire time on the bus, and when I get home I write out a long reply email explaining my difficulties, explaining my reaction and asking that she please use it as an example of my fragility to the team, and answering the four questions in as much detail as I could, all with a headache, stressed, still on the verge of tears, and physically disoriented by how overwhelming it all is.

I got a reply to the email today. Decision made. And I learned through a forwarded email whose sender couldn't be bothered punctuating it properly or using my name instead of just calling me "client" (not even the client, just "client") that I will not be moved to SLP, that these fucking CUNTS think my severe anxiety and autism might just go away so I need to get a medical certificate for it every three months to prove my brain hasn't spontaneously started working properly, oh and they asked the case worker to refer me on to a supported employment service despite me telling them over and over that under almost no circumstances would I be capable of working and that even if I did get put into work I wouldn't be able to take basic care of myself at the same time.

I have never in my life felt so dehumanised, not listened to, and reduced down to a few check boxes and some questions those fucks obviously didn't even read. That's all I am to them, and they can't be assed to even use my name or use proper grammar in the correspondence referring to my entire life situation that hinges on their goodwill. I fucking WISH I wasn't dependent on this disgusting, dehumanising, soul-crushing system. I WISH WINZ had competition, so they'd have to treat people like people or they'd go to someone else. I fucking WISH that this system wasn't designed to press everyone even remotely possible into the workforce no matter how harmful it is because their guiding star is that if you're not productive you're barely worthy of a sub-poverty support payment so you can eat - and it might not even be enough for that if you want a roof over your head at the same time, because we've got a combined housing crisis that's lasted a decade now and a cost of living crisis.

Anyone who thinks we need more scrutiny can get fucked.

You know what else I wish? I wish I was physically disabled. It's just like with the emotional abuse I suffered under my parents. They never did anything more than slap me, which wasn't illegal at the time. I don't have a single scar, or notable bruise, or anything. All I have is a broken mind which didn't even have the decency to properly record it all, so instead I end up with memory problems and the inability to even properly explain it. Nothing to point to and say 'look, that's it.' It's the exact same with this. I can't prove a single fucking iota of it. I can't get a single bit of it taken seriously. Because IT'S ALL IN MY FUCKING HEAD. ALL OF IT. I FUCKING WISH I HAD A SINGLE CRUMB OF PROOF, EVEN THE TINIEST THING TO POINT TO AND SAY 'LOOK. YOU CAN SEE I'M BROKEN.' BUT NO.

I have so much fucking anger in me, but most of all for my own existence (and second for the disdainful evil of the social support system). Why did I have to be handed the fucking defective brain, but one that's just broken enough to ruin my ability to be a functioning human being, and not broken enough for anyone in a position to help to believe me and take me seriously? I'm sitting here feeling like every single other person I've met got a handbook on how to be human but I didn't get mine and meanwhile this condescending fuck of a case worker is going on about how everyone has schedules.

Why do I have to be dependent on people who have a disdain for the concept of people like me existing, to whom I can't explain or prove anything about why I need their support, people who think my permanent broken brain shit might go away in three months, but whose support I will always need. There's no room for hope or humanity in these systems for us. Frankly, it's a marvel I'm not suicidal.

Gender differences that can be seen in such places (apology, invention, comedy...): Essay

Men and women passing each other: bows and vessels

Below is part of a letter I wrote to a certain woman.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Thinking back, when I met you at F in 20XX, I called you and said, "(Ms. T's) waiting time will be about 30 minutes." I wanted to hear what you said." In other words, you said that you was worried that I didn't answer, "The waiting time will be about 30 minutes. I'm sorry." On the contrary, I felt that it was an unexpected opinion.

One time, I heard a story on the radio. When two boys (A and B) were playing together, when B asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow?" It's no good because there is." The storyteller said she was worried that this would damage their friendship, but she said that there was no problem, and that A and B continued to interact normally. It is a mental landscape of men that is difficult for women to understand.

Since ancient times, men's language has been constructed simply for the exchange of "instructions" and "understandings" in hunting life, while women have been engaged in gathering and farming, and have long and long-term partnerships. It must have been arranged to exchange "comforts" so that the same members who were working would not quarrel.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

In the "invention" genre, the achievements of men are overwhelmingly conspicuous. An invention that overturned common sense until then... For example, the telephone as a tool was an invention that defied common sense by far. On the other hand, inventions made by women are "minor inventions" that fall within the bounds of common sense. For example, a housewife invented the "half-cut slipper", which cuts off the heel side of the slipper and asks you to stand on your toes, which leads to a clean diet. This was a hit in Japan, and many women went out of their way to purchase it.

Here are some contrasting sentences:

@1: It is the man who makes the child bear, and the woman who bears it.

@2: In the world of comedy, "Men make women laugh, and women laugh."

@3: A man builds a bridge over a river, and a woman crosses it. This is the same as for inventions. Women are beneficiaries.

It is a sentence that feels the gender difference between men and women. Especially from the man's side, it takes a lot of effort to get a woman to do something, and he feels supreme joy when he can do something that a woman expects.
