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
“ofc obviously” dawg im a speacial ed teacher too😭 and i can tell you’re reacting emotionally instead of logically here. maybe take a step back and think abt what you just said. “it’s fine if they have dyslexia but if thy ey don’t they can’t say that!!” girl how do u know if they do or don’t? pls lighten up the world can only be so negative.
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.
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)
