and don’t even get me started on the language of “sociopathy” 😭 I end up writing mini-essays about that one in various comment sections on like a weekly basis at this point

see but in the beginning they didn’t understand much physical conditions either. certain conditions were shunned, considered “unclean” and sometimes sacrificed. now everyone respects them but yet mental health is still somehow up for debate? make it make sense

the issue there would be that many things about mental health are very subtle so to people who aren’t well-educated, if there isn’t a physical issue like a broken leg the problem doesn’t exist.

uh, that’s already a very common form of stigma faced by physically disabled & chronically ill people. did you think only neurodivergent & mentally ill people experienced ableism, or what?

there’s plenty of severe physical conditions that we cannot see on the outside that are still respected and believed

no no i was not saying that’s how i felt about physical disabilities. i was saying it goes both ways so why is there a much higher respect for physical than mental

you’re wrong. I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis since childhood and you are dead fucking wrong

right, you were only talking about your own perspective, and that’s why you said “everyone” I actually experience both of those oppressions, and you would only be able to confidently voice an opinion that ignorant if you’ve never had a close personal friendship with a severely chronically ill person

you're clearly being passive aggressive in this comment btw

that may in part be due to the fact that rheumatoid arthritis is one of hundreds of physical chronic illnesses, while you are comparing it to the *entire category* of mental illnesses (many of which you also don’t “hear as much about”). but I really do not respect your worldview enough to waste any more time or energy trying to level with you

what happened to “not putting down others to feel better than ourselves” … seems like your worldview is a little contradictory
