i understand your sentiment but Bash Back is a national movement and these scum can and will be opposed wherever they hold their fascist conferences

and then i have a little cry. and then i grit my damn teeth again

assuming you consider yourself to be a leftist, your defensiveness at the notion you should examine your own ableism is pretty telling. i shan't continue this conversation, just know that you have work to do in your allyship with disabled people.

imagine what it must be like to try to understand an ongoing news story without access to the primary sources that everyone else is able to read and comment on. now imagine people rolling their eyes at the very idea that you or your allies should request equal access to that information.

right but that's not at all on the same level as Not Being Able To Read the info that everyone else has access to. those who need screen readers deserve to know that the ship is sinking. they deserve to know *how* the ship is sinking. access to information is a human right, not virtue signalling

I want you to ask yourselves honestly, if a 50-something year old man started speaking to a minor who is cisgender, speculating what kind of pornography they watch, asking them if they've "groomed" (read: sexually abused) other minors, would that not be quite plainly sexual harassment?
