It’s also a fucking lie too because a lot of women have that and have had children. Yeah it’s harder, but you can still naturally have a child.

meanwhile ppl with pcos have kids all the time 😭 yes, it’s harder, but it’s not impossible for all. just like those without pcos, some are still infertile! i have pcos and do worry about whether or not i’ll be able to biologically have kids in the future, but i would never put down a happy video like that. like wtf

No i think putting people with learning disabilities down is wrong. Just bc someone is an idiot doesn’t mean we need to associate those people with them. If anything they would be more of an ASD symptom.

What does that have to do with PCOS tho? Do u still have ovaries despite not having a uterus? R u a type of intersex or syndrome carrier?

Yea I know what the joke was but it’s rude, unless you yourself have dyslexia you shouldn’t make jokes like that. We need to do better. This isn’t even white knighting. The person in question is dumb not someone having dyslexia ofc obviously

I’m pretty sure androgen-insensitivity means you can’t have eggs since you were supposed to have sperm (but didn’t because androgen insensitivity)

This 1000%. Pcos doesn’t inherently mean infertile, and infertile doesn’t inherently mean child-free. Acting as if adoption or IVF/surrogacy doesn’t exist. And then on top of the fact that no one asked and this isn’t abt that 😭 I’d go to her profile n find a picture of her w her house/apartment/whatever n say “as a homeless person, i wont ever get to experience this”

I’m dyslexic and autistic - the joke was funny and not ableist at all. It wasn’t putting down dyslexic people bcos it wasn’t making fun of dyslexia at all, it was a play on words with “read the room”. You saying that this shit is potentially indicative of ASD is entirely fucked, though. Being autistic doesn’t make you an attention-seeking bitch. And no one gives a shit what your job is.

So just because you have autism, doesn’t mean that you’re not above being a negative and mean person We can still hold people with disabilities accountable because I myself have a disability and no it isn’t dyslexia however that doesn’t make you above me as well

And when I add, what level of autism do you have what kind of support systems do you need because you don’t represent the entire autism community it’s a spectrum

I never claimed to represent the autism community nor that I was above you. I listed my diagnoses to tell you that 1) as a dyslexic person, the dyslexic joke wasn’t offensive and 2) as a person with autism, the suggestion that the comment indicated ASD was indeed offensive. I’m level 2, and if you knew **anything** about the autism community, you’d know that it’s pretty much universally considered unacceptable to ask someone their support needs outside of a treatment setting.

You cursing at me is insane. And no it’s ok to ask when I have someone cursing at me 😂 however; you have the right to refuse to say anything. You don’t get to dictate what is and what isn’t offensive for other people. If it doesn’t affect you, great! But acting like your internalized ableism is ok doesn’t make another person any less affected.

I wasn’t cursing at you, I was using the second-person indefinite “you” and cursing in general. None of it was directed at you specifically. (I guess saying that your claims are fucked up could technically be considered “directed at you”, but I figure it’s not bcos it’s not hard or unreasonable to stop being a bad person)
