The whole framing of people as either 'givers' or 'takers' is fundamentally fascist and should be understood as such. It's just a reskinning of 'useless eater' rhetoric.

ADHD & autism "diagnoses are increasingly used by students & workers for organising to push back against oppressive systems and institutions of exploitation. The backlash against the expansion of these diagnoses is... a ruling class backlash against a demand for change by those who are disabled..."
A talk I gave earlier this year has, unfortunately, become relevant again this week so I've published it here.

It couldn't be more obvious what happened with the EHRC. Liz Truss stacked it with open bigots like Falkner for the purpose of producing transphobic guidance. It started under the Tories and Labour has let it continue.

1 - people will not abide by virus protocols, having already decided they're fine with people dying for their convenience
2 - gov public health orgs no longer try to lead on this and only advise what won't upset people.

a word that literally just means "people who aren't transgender" isn't allowed to be used - because bigots said so - and so everyone from EHRC to BBC are coming up with weird expressions to say "people who aren't transgender".

this quote is very funny to me given that my experience with the NHS this week horrified my *American* partner.
It's basically impossible to get anything at all from them in a decent timescale. 'Free at the point of use'. Fuck off. If I want any medical treatment I have to pay out of pocket anyway.

Streeting’s yapping is on the same level a health minister being anti-vax. The fact that it isn’t widely recognised as such is just because MH isn’t taken seriously.
I've been having MH discourse for decades now and understanding and treatments have changed a lot, but politicians have always tried to derail progress and the resources have never been allocated appropriately because they don't think it's real and they don't care

Its not hard to find GPs who are deeply conservative and do not believe their patients' lived experience. Equally its not difficult to find gross BBC hacks willing to launder stupid shit the government says.
The fact that many GPs don't believe people with mental health conditions will not be news to those of us with mental health conditions who have had to deal with these cunts.
Kudos on the BBC for continuing to manufacture consent to take away our rights and healthcare though.

Polling basics is you don’t let your cohort self select like this. More appalling bullshit journalism laundering government bullshit form the BBC
Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

I genuinely think a lot of people treat it as being graded on a curve, in a sense. Like, help should only go to a consistent percentage of the least abled people, whatever happens.
there is no natural golden ratio of abled to disabled ppl, and no upper cap on what percentage of population can be disabled. if you sicken and injure enough ppl, and destroy accessibility of public life in a hostile and unsupported society so a wider and wider range are excluded, the skys the limit

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!
