lentamenteperfavore replied to your post: Intro to yourself (if you want)
hey, what do you mean by “mental age” here? sounds a bit infantilising and ableist (“she has the mind of a five-year-old” etc) but maybe you meant another meaning I’m not aware of (I’m TAB/neurotypical so call me out if I’m totally off the point here)
I am not speaking for Jasmine, though I heartily believe she did not have ableist intentions. I am taking it more in the sense of people just feeling a lot older than their peers because of an abundance of life experiences, as opposed to because of intelligence or whatever other factors would make this ableist.
Is that ok? Thanks for speaking up about us possibly being problematic. We want to make this a safe space for everyone.
Thanks Veronica. I didn't notice you replied here but I did message and pretty much said the same thing. I'm at work so I can't really get on a comp to help out. I'm glad you all feel comfortable enough to speak up though! --Jasmine
