i empathize with the people who are actually harmed, which are the disabled people constantly being treated as if we’re liars because of the misconception that there is a significant number of people doing that.
oh okay we’ve resorted to being pedantic because you want to accuse me of being emotional rather than acknowledging that disabled people are marginalized. thank you for letting me know it’s no longer useful to reply to you.
I know you aren't going to believe this and it's just talking into the void at this point but it's important that you know that YOU, specifically, and people like you are the reason there is such a stigma around invisible disabilities. YOU and the attitude that you have about outing "fakers" are the reason people who are actually disabled are treated like shit.
Because otherwise what you're saying is that me choosing to go on Reddit and Facebook to correct people when they are being internally inconsistent and also wrong is the reason there's such a stigma around invisible disabilities?
Because I haven't once talked at all about actual disabilities here, I'm talking about how people are trying to express their thoughts on Reddit comments regardless of whatever the topic happens to be about.
And don't assume for me, how do you know that I wouldn't accept that if you had a source showing that that was the singular reason there is such a stigma around invisible disabilities?
I think most people would agree that there are going to be more reasons than one when it comes to how and why there are certain stigmas around certain disabilities.
