I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

As a neuroscientst, I joke we have 5 brains (with 2 hemispheres and the stomach as 1) to help people understand that the singular self is a myth, instead we are a collective that can sometimes badly fall out with each other!

This, THIS is why a lot of disabled people oppose assisted dying. I used to be all for it and, in theory, I still am for people suffering greatly at the end of their lives, but the program Liz Carr made about it completely changed my mind when she uncovered cases like this.
