to be sick of all the 'othering' on these boards?

I've just about had enough of this and I'm going to tell you why.

I'm disabled. My three children are disabled.
I am a member of this forum just as much as any other person here. My thoughts are just as relevant as yours. My family experiences are just as relevant as any other poster on this board.

How dare you tell me my parenting experience isn't relevant? Parents like me despite being a relative minority aren't that few around here. We have just as much right to share our experiences on these boards as everyone else, it is an open forum.

So how dare you tell me I can't post about cuts to disability provision, services and benefits. They are just as relevant as the experiences of the next parent. They have a place on this forum just as much as the opinions of others. How dare you tell me I can't mention experiences I've had with my children in public on 'naughty child' threads? When these things ACTUALLY HAPPEN and I'm trying to present an alternative view.

Yet you use phrases like 'SN brigade'. You tell us it's 'not about disability' when actually in real life yes it is no matter how much you might think it shouldn't be.

Undermining experiences I've had and other families like mine is downright ignorant. It's othering and bigoted.

I will defend my family forever.

How dare you.

Good evening all

@Pumpkinpositive

Maybe it's the same poster? I can't recall ever seeing an OP which ranted non specifically at a mysterious "you" before yesterday. Confused

And like yesterday's OP, I do think this one has a point, it's just that she has a rather combatitive, unproductive way of expressing it.

Firstly to clarify, there's no correlation between y'day's poster and today's.

And also a reminder to REPORT REPORT REPORT to us and we can see which fuckers are goading and deal with them as needed.

If y'all sit there getting cross but not doing anything we can't help.

Thanks
