the assisted dying debate is so crazy
because i do fundamentally believe everyone should have the right to die when they want.
BUT if they legalise assisted suicide in the UK right now i don't trust our ableist fucking government to not just start coercing disabled people into suicide to save money. they already won't give them enough money to live.
you can't make a free, genuine choice about the time and manner of your death until you have the right to live, as independently as possible and with all your needs met.
this is also true of people who commit regular old unassisted suicide because they can't transition, because of harassment or discrimination, because they can't keep a job or don't make enough money to live. it's government murder by proxy.
