Disablism

No Candy I am embarrassing
I shall tell you what my deleted posts were on that thread
I said the special school teacher was a 'disgrace' and I said I wouldn't want her teaching my child
That was it. No swearing, name calling, anything, just 'disgrace'
Amaze balls huh
You are welcome to change mumsnet if you wish but I really can't be bothered.
Aibu gives them all their clickbait and the more outrageous the better
Just to secure the deletion of this post, I think Rebecca needs to get out more and experience a bit of life
Maybe they all could do a diversity course?
Who
Knows

True!

candy nick away it's not my post x

Sorry for nicking your post Auser but it illustrates do well.

The reason why those other isms aren't tolerated is because of years of campaigning and support by authorities.

MNHQ you are so behind the times it is embarrassing.

Supported living for young transgrnder people being built next door.

NC for this as could be outing. This is more of a WWYD really. I am at risk of sounding like a right NIMBY and I hate that its bringing this out in me but...
I am a single parent about to move to a new house. Building work has started on a 'supported living for transgender youngsters' development right next door.
Now, I have lived in some of the most gang-riven areas in the country without a thought but in my old age and with a child I admit I am worried about crime, drugs and ability to sell house on. I love the house and everything else is good.
WWYD? Still proceed with the purchase?

Supported living for young gay people being built next door.

That's the thing. It is going to be overwhelmingly populated by young people with disabilities. Why is that so hard to understand?

I've reported my post and explained why it's disablist.
If anyone feels they must report my post for disablism, please do.

It is shocking if was "bail hostel" could understand but supported housing is bloody hard to get, obviously going to include those with Disabilites in one form or another. To then try say like its 100% not and just people with "issues" just so off the mark.

I've reported it too. Reported it when it was posted. And heard nowt. I don't think HQ can see the problem and given that it's doubtful they'll see a problem with Rebecca's post :(

Report!

Yes I've reported it for disablism (repair my post where ive quoted it)

How long would it last as I rewrote it?

I'd say 5 minutes tops.

That's an awful post from rebeccamumsnet
auser has it spot on in their post rewriting the OP.

candy it was aimed at me, as well, that post from Rebecca and I am incredibly angry. In my opinion It was patronising. It was dismissive. It was belittling and it was disablist as all get out.

And there were threats on that thread that we would be suspended.

I really feel awful.

Let me re write the title of that thread. And the op

Supported living for young black people being built next door.

This is a genuine post, I don't have many people to discuss this with and I have never worried about house values etc in my life! I am genuinely surprised at my reaction to this.

HQ. Do you get it yet?

Rebecca mumsnet.

The vast majority of any challenging youngsters who live in the home that is proposed will have a disability of some kind.

Read the thread with that in mind and the disablist attitudes shine through

Can you really not see that?

*Yes, we totally can. However, the OP was asking what others would do. There was no mention of disabilities. Yes, as a society we should be more understanding and considerate but the OP's immediate consideration is for herself and her DC, as is the case with most of us and she can ask the question.

Really, we want mumsnet to be a place where you are allowed freedom of speech, where others can question each other and support one another through life's trickier twists and turns - no matter what they may be*
The most disablist post on MN?
Reported!

ok, I obviously missed a lot today

I've just read Rebecca's comment.

So let's apply the other Ism rule.

Is racism free speech? To be discussed and debated and to ask advice on?

Is sexism free speech?

Absolutely outrageous Rebecca. You are saying the op is more important. I thought we were equal.

For all I enjoy on MN, the lovely ninjas, the Christmas bargain thread, it's not worth feeling tainted by this shitty discrimination that is actually justified by the organisation itself.
Do you knit see we are not after a scrap? We are not awkward. We are not over reacting.

We have a point.

I'm heading to bed. I don't know if I will be able to cope with coming back and posting here but I will be reading either way

I will do . I've only recently become One of You, ha ha! It's certainly been eye opening!

Oh, i read it the same. I'm still getting over no longer reading dixie as dixie but dicks E!

I mean user12334567876433674 or something. And I got slated so I changed it. Eventually when I figured out how (was not easy!)
