I think some of you are missing the point with free Britney. You shouldn't only care because it's Britney Spears. It shouldn't be "oh she's suffered enough publicly so now I'll care". There are estimated 1.5 million people in the US under conservatorships. It's upsetting that people only care about disability justice if it's a celebrity and Britney Spears is by far not the worst case.
@ The people who only care because it's Britney, Britney herself said it's not just her suffering under this. She says:
I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive, and that we can sit here all day and say oh, conservatorships are here to help people. But ma’am, there is a thousand conservatorships that are abusive as well.
Britney's case is heartbreaking and infuriating, but she's not the only one suffering under this system of conservatorships that allow for so much easy and economically benefitial abuse. Other people who're also going through abusive conservatorships matter just as much as Britney does, they all matter a lot. This is a systemic issue that goes beyond Britney alone and she herself is very aware of it.
While it's true and important to say that despite claiming she's so "unfit" for a fully free adult life yet she keeps being exploited as a full time worker against her will, it's extremely shitty to try and justify getting Britney out of her conservatorship by saying "she's not disabled, so she shouldn't be in a conservatorship".
No. I don't know if she's actually disabled or not, that information is none of our business unless she decides in all freedom to tell us. But, regardless of whether Britney is actually disabled or not, people who are in fact disabled shouldn't be going through this type of hell on Earth either. Britney doesn't deserve to be under a conservatorship not because she might not be disabled. She doesn't deserve this conservatorship BECAUSE NO HUMAN BEING DOES. Not even the ones with confirmed and utterly debilitating disabilities!
Conservationships used to be so easily abused, especially towards the elderly, there were cases of healthy, fit people being forced into them by random strangers as recently as the 2010s. It's not just Britney, it's has been a whole industry.
