The Structure and Function of a Pity Party and Why It’s Wrong To Piss off Disabled People Like That
Now that I’ve dislocated my left knee cap I’m dealing with a real disability here. My hypothyroid is so in control I can pursue, yoga, tai chi, and martial arts to my heart’s content. My type 1 diabetes is being an asshole to manage. I have a bruise in my site I have to change out tomorrow. My set still works mind you. At least my boyfriend knows it needs to be left in..
Lovely. Let it be known that disabled people do not want pity. They want to be seen for what they can accomplish or how they can be useful. Many people don’t know that pity is systematic abelism. I think my Geodon gives me an edge. I have total control over my emotions when in high school I was a wreck. An unstable psychic is annoying as shit to be around because you pump other people full of your unstable emotions. You can fuck somebody up like that. I messed up many people’s energy fields and had no idea.
If somebody talks about a disability you don’t understand, do not fucking say they are brave for having it. It is not bravery. It is daily life. Your ignorance is appalling. Likewise while I’m not on the autism spectrum, I have schizophrenia instead, autism is not contagious and kids will not act autistic around another autistic person. Shit motherfucker that’s just demeaning. Don’t ever let me hear that out of your ignorant mouth again dumb shit. This hazing belongs to somebody I heard about somewhere else and they are being hazed to let their kids play with somebody with autism. What a moron. I eat people like that for breakfast. I call normal people retards when they throw that one at me, often before they open their mouths seeing as I know what you will say before your ignorance comes out of your putrid mouth.
Calling somebody an invalid is also dehumanizing. They already know they can’t freakin’ walk. Don’t say it. Don’t ever say it. Wheelchairs are obvious. That’s why the sign shows one but disabilities can be mental health problems too. Do not pity party a disabled person. It will bloody well piss them off. Pity is not okay. Genuine compassion and understanding is okay but for goodness sake, don’t pity people. Pity is annoying. Why must people give pity when disabled people just want to feel useful for goodness sak?
I’m working towards a day when health care is free in the United States. where there is a cure for all disability everywhere and people are made whole. I’m working towards better insurance plans for everybody that anybody can afford. I want to be 120 and whole. I want to start a social movement where everybody with a disability can work if they want to and make enough money to support themselves. I would like to march on Washington for disability rights. I would like to speak to Congress about funding for health care research to do what we can to cure everything. This is but one purpose of my life. I will be 120 and maybe beyond.
