reclaiming character designs from an old project ☕

[mindflamer]

honest to god we've got to start naming the elderly as a vulnerable group & calling their disabilities, disabilities. we sugarcoat and distance these things by only calling them "elderly," "old & frail," etc. most of them are disabled.

too many people completely separate disability from themselves in their mind. it's something that happens to other people. other sad people i don't want to think about. are they really even people, it's too much to bear thinking about that happening to a person... those background characters over there. it would never be me, i can't cope with thinking about that possibility.

this mass denialism of the fragility of the human body (YOUR human body) has created a whole category separate from the disabled - the "elderly." since anyone can join it if they live long enough.. no they can't be disabled. that's scary, and worse it's political. so they are just "old." so what they lost their hearing, their mobility, their heart function? that's just how it goes for old people. as if that's not a person as real as you. as if you wouldn't be devastated if that happened to you today (and it can btw). as if you won't be when it's your turn to be old, and disabled.

simultaneously the disabled are dehumanized as not people, and the elderly are dehumanized as not disabled. so the illusion of disability as separate can be upheld.

Listen to me. I. Will die. On this hill.

My grandparents lived to 98 and 103. Read that again— 98 and 103. My grandmother died 5 months ago and was born in 1923.

She was extremely wealthy. My grandfather left her millions. She paid about 13,000 a month for her care.

And her nurses abused her. She could do nothing. She could not speak for herself, feed herself, clothe herself, and the humiliation they made her endure was disgusting. When she tried to express discomfort, they gave her drugs to “keep her calm” (keep their shift easy). We fought like HELL to hold that fucking place accountable. The only reason we were aware is because we hired a private nurse on her behalf, too.

The elderly are a massive, extremely vulnerable, and disabled group. You cannot leave them out of your advocacy, you cannot leave them out of the conversation. “They’re loud, they smell, they’re opinionated, they’re rude, they make me uncomfortable”. I don’t care. I don’t care! They need your advocacy too! I want you to think, if my grandmother— who was in the best retirement home she could afford, with a personally hired third-party nurse to step in where the other carers failed, had such abhorrent care… what about everyone else? What about all the elderly who don’t have a support system?

Don’t leave them out.

Nothing more painful than when a kind stranger tells you about some random AI feature in a way that is clearly meant to be helpful and you have to choose between nodding along in despair or turning wokezilla 3000 on them

The way they call us “sysmeds” when most of us agree that self-diagnosis is valid. Because not having an official diagnosis doesn’t stop you from having the disorder.

We’re not against endos because they don’t have a medical diagnosis, we’re against endos because they’re claiming to be systems outside of the criteria of being a system. That, and they’re spreading misinformation about how systems form.

Using a term to try and compare us to transmeds, who are people who gatekeep being trans because “well you’re not medically transitioning” is really fucking stupid. Not to mention transphobic because you’re comparing being trans to having a mental illness.

Gender is a social construct. Mental illness, isn’t.

We’re not gatekeeping having mental illness, because the simple fact is if you don’t have the disorder, you just fuckin don’t have it. You can bitch and moan about wanting to be a part of the club all you want, but you can’t just decide to have a mental illness one day. Cry harder.

This! The one thing that's been irritating me lately is what I've coined as the "queerification" of DID and OSDD-1. By using "you can just identify as" narrative to conflate life-altering dissociative disorders with being transgender, it has two consequences:

Removes emphasis on the severity of these disorders: This already happens! "Endos" will say that people with these disorders are being bigots when chances are bigotry was the reason they ended up with DID/OSDD-1 anyways. Survivors are no longer allowed to talk about their experiences without someone getting the ick from someone even just mentioning that they were abused. It's an unnecessary source of conflict that worsens stigma against survivors and potentially even discourages someone possibly seeking professional help that would increase their quality of life.

Conflates queerness with mental illness: This one may not be considered, but as a transgender gay man I feel like it needs to be said. Being queer is not a mental illness. You are conflating being queer with a lifesaving dissociative disorder. Fascists will bank on this, use this as evidence to say that "transgenderism" is caused by trauma (while simultaneously doing nothing to stop said trauma from happening, I can guarantee this). The fact that I am transgender has absolutely nothing to do with my trauma. I always like to say that if I was born with a d*ck my mom would've known that I'm gay. If anything, trauma put me back in the closet, especially as I started going through puberty. I'm so sick of hearing the queer = mentally ill narrative, and you should be, too.

So ultimately, at the end of the day, being queer and having a complex dissociative disorder are not the same. Someone can be queer and have a complex dissociative disorder, but at the end of the day, one is not caused by the other. And by queerifying DID and OSDD specifically, we dismiss the severity of living with DID/OSDD and further demonize both survivors of childhood trauma and transgender people.

And if you really care about all of us, I'd hope you weren't demonizing us.
