Eugenic (2017) #2

[neurotypicalabusesurvivor]

There is no society in which women can engage in eugenics and be safe form forced sterilization. There is no society in which women are free to engage in eugenics and be economically supported if they are disabled or if they are the caretakers of disabled loved ones. There is no society in which women are safe form forced sterilization while seeing disability as 100% biological.

You cant benefit form eugenics while also be free form it. If you abort a disabled fetus for being disabled even if you where economically supported that is eugenics. You are contributing to the genocide of disabled people. I understand that under our eugenic based system you may be force to engage in eugenics in which case will only not judge if you surport the social model of disablity.

Frist off let adress the elephant in the room all people (including all women) benefit form having neurotypical children because it reduces the unpaid labor they have to do. Not nessary because disabled kids are harder to raise but because our society teaches people to raize NT kids. This is deeply ableist because this same entitlement to not do unpaid labor cause disabled people that exist right know to not only manage there own biology but also manage the biology of those around them.

Frist off you are taking the choice away form a disabled person if they want to exist or not by making that choice for them. You are violating the bodily automeny of disabled people. This same feeling of entitledment to decide if you personally have the right to decide if disabled people have the right to exist or not leads to MAiD being used for eugenic reasons, to parents murdering there disabled children and extermination camps for the disabled. It is only the disabled person who has the right to decide if they want to exist or not.

Part of what made me feel a lot better was when I understood that what attracts women isn't inherently good or perfect

Asking on anon cause I’m embarrassed to admit this, but am I ableist for being upset at my parents knowingly passing on their disabilities to me? I hate eugenics but I didn’t ask to be here and disabled. It feels unfair

To do this, I need to establish some things first.

Disablity is a broad concept and some disablities just objectively suck. A lot of mine do. Most of them are painful and I would cure in a heartbeat if I could. And many of mine are genetic and all started in childhood.

At the same time, it is important to never devalue the lives of disabled people, even when the disability in question only causes suffering regardless of how good their life is otherwise.

And you must always consider the rest of a disabled person's life. Are they being cared for and being accommodated as much as they can be? Even people with painful terminal illness have a much higher quality of life if they are treated as people with value who deserve care. But most disabled people only get a fraction of the care they need and some don't get any at all.

I used to hate my life, and while I don't love my painful disabilities, it is easier to accept them and enjoy life with the better support system I have now. Not all my needs are being met (I am broke), but even so, things are a lot better. In the past, I thought all of my issues in life were only because I am disabled, but looking back, it was clear that I was being abused, and that caused me a lot more pain than my disabilities ever could on their own.

In other words, how much of the problem is the disability itself and how much of it is the societal response to the disabled person existing?

I don't know you or your life, so I don't want to say anything for certain. So please keep that in mind reading forward.

As you came to me, I will say that it sounds like you have internalized ableism. It would also be worth it to examine your emotions towards your parents in general, as there may be other negative emotions that are influencing these feelings.

But I mostly want to highlight this: If you feel this way about yourself, does this affect how you think about and treat other disabled people? It can be hard to be kind to yourself, but it is important to make sure these feelings do not spill over. Even if you feel this way about yourself, you must try to keep it out of your disability activism.

Emotions are often complicated but being self-aware is always a good step. Asking yourself hard questions is great! Even if the answers are not always good. Thinking about these things and being willing to do something about it (if it is in fact a problem) is the only way to improve as people.

While I don't think this was the kind of answer you were looking for, I hope this helped, even a little.

I wish you well, Anon.
