1) Iâm seen as an idiot because I donât think itâs okay to pretend to have a disability? Okay then.
2) Iâm not sure what youâre referring to
3) idgaf if someone is romanticizing THEIR disability. What I care about is when someone who KNOWS they donât have a disability, for example epilepsy, PRETENDS to fucking have it. Iâve seen people give TIPS on how to induce seizures. Do you realize how fucking stupid THAT is?
4) Iâm not lazy bubs, I just havenât seen it LMAO. Also I try not to waste too much time looking because it makes me angry as someone who has a disability people want to have. And on that note, people would ID as transneurofibromatosis? They would WANT brain tumors and scoliosis and all the co-morbidities that come with a rare condition most people donât even the know EXISTS? I have to get a brain and full body MRI every year but okay, sure, spend that money to find literally nothing đ
5) LOL I didnât think I HAD to explain how a white person IDing as âcisblackâ is harmful đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł anyone who knows ANYTHING about anti-racism would know this without me having to explain to it. But here, let me give it a try: not only are you potentially appropriating culture (for example, dreads) but youâre also minimizing the fucking SYSTEMIC RACISM Black people go through? Like literally read up on that and tell me why a white person would WANT. Are they what, going to fucking transition by trying to die via police brutality? Are they going to transition by somehow getting people to be racist towards them?
6) aside from an actual trauma response (and I think the individual will know the difference based on this bullshit community, yâall literally use terms like âcisadultâ sooo), an adult pretending to be a minor in adult/minor spaces? Are they smart enough to stay out of minor-only spaces? Do they then date minors? Whatâs the line? How does it not fuel pedophiles/ephebophilias?
7) Iâm not sure what youâre referring to given I never wrote out my post in list form, but how is recognizing the seriousness of a disorder and not wanting people to pretend having it shaming said disorder? I have a seizure disorder and I ACTUALLY know the seriousness of it. Iâm not shaming myself or my community for being pissed at someone who gives âtipsâ on how to induce one (which isnât even how epilepsy WORKS, some people like myself donât know our triggers aside from MAYBE going off medication). You can be an advocate for the disability community, you can be an ally, AND you can recognize that something is harmful.
8) uh, this community is really big. Yâall have whole blogs dedicated to these identities and validate ALL the conditions people want to be. I just occasionally waste my time looking through the tags and angering myself, but I donât even go on tumblr every week. Iâve thought about it, I just donât post about it on tumblr.
9) actually, thatâs how people talk to oppressors of their communities. So if someone ran a TERF blog and realized their harm, they would have the choice to leave it up or delete it. (Iâm not saying the two are equivalent, itâs just the first example that popped into my head.)
10) it causes harm to the people with the disability because it romanticizes our experience and even makes a joke of our experience. I have seizures and I canât driveâŠwhy would someone WANT that? Why would someone WANT to have tonic clonic seizures where you can fall and seriously injure yourself? It screams âI havenât done any educationâ. Youâre romanticizing the good parts, whatever those are because I canât tell you, and ignoring the bad parts. You can take it off whenever itâs inconvenient for you - even if you wouldnât. I canât. I will live with this for the rest of my life. Of course it pisses me off when I see the âtipsâ then because itâs not seeing the whole picture.
You want to have a seizure disorder? Then get into a fight and have your head slammed down, or get into a car accident and hope you get a traumatic brain injury. Thereâs not even a way to just GIVE yourself some disabilities because youâre born with them. I was born with Neurofibromatosis - you canât just give that to yourself. I was born autistic - you canât just become autistic. (WhichâŠIâm okay with my autism far more than my epilepsy because itâs given me far more positives than epilepsy, but itâs not just stimming and sensory items. Itâs also bullying and frustration and getting into an argument with your therapist and sister about ABA therapy. Itâs a lot of frustrations.)
I mean Iâve seen people go as far as identifying as âtrans cancerâ. Maybe those are the troll blogs, I donât knowâŠbut do I really have to waste my time and explain why? Why donât you go through these tags and read posts by the folks who agree with me and admittedly might explain it better?
The only good parts to my disorder are the memes I found. I would choose to live without it if I could and Iâm sure thousands of other people would too. So it causes individual harm - is that not enough? Whatâs going to happen if you âstay in the closetâ and donât transition? Trans people are at a higher risk of suicide if they stay in the closetâŠand if they come out they risk their safety. Plus they ARE the gender they say they are - transitioning is not required, nor is it accessible for everyone. A trans woman has always been a woman and knows sheâs a woman. Even if the trans person years before they come out, they actively realize and know theyâre trans. Someone who is âtrans disabilityâ knows they donât have that disability.
11) I didnât even make this account to argue with the community. Iâve seen similar posts for the transx community actually, and those didnât provide education. Why do I have to provide education? Why canât I just be annoyed and tell those who agree with me to save their energy?
It also looks like I accidentally tagged #transabled in my tags. I did not mean to do that so I didnât even intend for yâall to see it. So thatâs on me and in fact Iâm going to remove the tag right now.
12) okay good for you lol
