and that constantly putting the onus on the people who have to live with these illnesses to simply "get better" is an incredibly shitty thing to do

and that it's not "toxic" for chronically ill and disabled people to feel down, and occasionally talk about how down they feel, in a world which continually disregards their suffering and makes their lives much more difficult than they need to be, sometimes deliberately

and that telling these people that they continue to be ill only because they haven't tried a certain exercise, supplement, therapy or diet will only further damage their health by causing them stress

and that doctors are not only not infallible magic-workers, but are very often actively prejudiced against their patients; especially female patients and patients who belong to marginalised and minority groups

please just understand this and accept that the chronically-ill and disabled people you speak to know more about their health and their limitations and what works or doesn't work for them than you ever could

6 - THE LOVER

雨の日

Asexuality is something I feel so deeply and it's impacted my life in huge ways (often negative), and I need media that captures those huge feelings ya know? I read an article or smth recently where it was singing praises about some character that's asexual but their orientation isn't their whole identity or the main focus, and that's great! But for many people it is a huge deal! And I just feel like that's not all that groundbreaking for an asexual character, when thats also every asexual character ever, just one small little sidenote that won't be explored much.

And assuming its chill for me to talk about my own personal hatred of sex...as a sex repulsed ace whos experienced SA, sex is not a neutral thing to me. To me, sex is horrifying, not just "ew gross", but something I can never experience safely. And I cant stop thinking about a horror story that explores those feelings of being a sex repulsed suevivor in such a sexualized world. Experiences of someone that where others see a beautiful or desirable physical act, they see body horror. What others see as the ultimate declaration of trust and intimacy, they can only feel a deep violation.
