Ms. Que Banh@grrrr_shark@supervolcano.angryshark.eu I'm also fed up with ignorant folks who have tried to tell me that because I'm disabled & an older woman, I should be grateful that any man wants to date me at all. That's fucked up & it is super ableist & ageist.
Krista, Darth Møøse Shark@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party THAT is SO. MUCH. FUCKING. BULLSHIT.
Krista, Darth Møøse Shark@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party I'm 53 and autistic and I internalized all of that shit. And am now SO DONE with it.
Absolutely not.
Ms. Que Banh@grrrr_shark@supervolcano.angryshark.eu Good on you. I also suffered from years of internalized ableism. I am so done with ableism. I am more understanding & less ruthless with folks who own their ableism & are willing to work at being comrades with disabled folks. I'm not as kind to folks who show me that they're unwilling to challenge, address & destroy their own ableism.
Krista, Darth Møøse Shark@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party Exactly. Sigh.
It's exhausting.
You deserve someone who meets your standards and you have the right to ask for that and accept nothing less.
Krista, Darth Møøse Shark@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party we all have shit to work on. People who don't believe this about themselves and act on it are a harmful waste of time.
