Disablism

[BishopBrennansArse]

Shiny new thread.

Hopefully won't get derailed.

Aye I've fine the same. Ive made some right clanged, got it wrong, reported posts and then regretted it.
I've reflected, took on board what other posters have said, got an arse kicking and I've said sorry. I've patched things up with other posters.
Nothing wrong with being wrong.

But please don't say we are looking for trouble because we say something is not right. (Not you aye, generically).

Polter, spot on there. Mn in general has become far less tolerant, very mainstream.

I wasn't saying anyone was looking for trouble on this thread?
My opinions as the mother of boys with ASD are every bit as valid as any other parent of a child/children with any other disability. Whether I agree with someone or not, I can respect their right to hold that opinion. I expect the same in return.

I a such a twat! I've just spent 20 minutes trying to work out why everyone had suddenly starting typing 'Scottish' posts... Then realised all the casual 'aye' s related to a posters name :D

Not you aye. I'm referring to a previous poster. Aye you ve been great.

I am trying to catch up on a few short hours here, have I read this right, was Candy actually told to get back in her box whilst the usual was 'considered' then a regurgitation of the infamous anti-sledgehammer statement rolled out. WTF?

Quick question has anyone ever seen the phantom sledgehammer approach ever, I mean does it exist in MN living memory? I've never seen it applied to disablism so am wondering where the proof of it not working is?

As to the rest of the scan read posts I stand thus -

bun fight reference - offensive
shut fuck up about disablism - no it needs sorting
what is disablism - prejudice that others and belittles
be polite when endlessly insulted - eh no

Did I miss anything out?

CandyMcJingles sorry, I misunderstood your comment
I do want to be part of the movement for change, for challenging disablism and for educating people, challenging ignorance and making the world an easier place for anyone with a disability/child with a disability to live in. I have fought for my boys since the days they were born, even more so when I realised they needed me to have their backs against bastards who mock, exclude and belittle them.

PolterGoose I didn't say it was? I said that my opinions were equally as valid, not more important than anyone else's. Why are you twisting what I said?

Why has candy deregged??

A bleach enema isn't that assault?!?

I don't hold those opinions, so I'm not sure why you're having a go at me about them. I've never even heard of a bleach enema before, and frankly wish I hadn't. I don't "normalise" my children either. But since you don't respect my opinions, I fail to see how any kind of dialogue is worthwhile.

I just looked that up and died a bit inside.

I don't respect someone's right to assault their child, no. Because that's not a right, it's disgusting. But I've been repeatedly told that I'm wrong or that I have no idea about disablism and I will challenge that, because I do know what it's like to see my boys facing that and I do challenge it. Just because someone doesn't agree with something, doesn't give them the right to launch personal attacks on here and over private message.

Hi hate, I've deregged and waiting for it to kick in.
MNHQ response to disablism is inadequate and protecting the uncomfortableness if others but not the hurt of those impacted by disability.
I don't accept it and I'm voting with my feet.

Yeah, I'm not seeing any change. Reported a post an hour ago. Nothing.

Candy :( I posted ages ago up there somewhere about how much I've been enlightened by you guys over the last 10+ years. I understand why you feel you need to do it but v sad. Take care xx

Surely bleach enemas can't be legal? There must be something in child protection laws that stops it?
