Not that I owe the misgendering fuckwads an explanation, but it was late in my day in the middle of a flare that I posted it, and I'm unfamiliar with this cat's work. But presumptive dipshits gonna presume

If spending a week at a major theme park as a disabled person has taught me anything, it's the definite justification of my reverse-ableism For lack of a better term). 🤣

“Ewwww that person is *different*” is the source of so many evils. “That person is different and vulnerable” is a particularly noxious blend.

Telling liberals they're doing a fascism by throwing marginalized people under the bus on the off chance it'll stave off the "greater evil" a few more years isn't "in-fighting". The "lesser evil" is still fucking evil, and so are they.

Folks who tell you that it’s okay to temporarily sacrifice a marginalized group in order to win

one day the same parents who subject their children to conversion therapy will be too old and weak to care for themselves, and I don't want to hear a single word against their children when they decide that their parents don't deserve their support anymore

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 3d

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.

Conversion therapy is universally opposed as harmful by major medical organizations, including (but not limited to) the American Academy of Child Adolescent Psychiatry, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, American Medical Association(AMA), American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association (APA), and the American School Health Association.
