#colourblindness

Being aromantic isn't like being colourblind because you "have a narrower human experience 😢" or "you see the world in black and white 💔" or whatever but being aromantic is exactly like being colourblind because most people don't even know what it is and most people who think they do have the complete wrong idea. Because our society is not designed for people like us but no "allies" take our issues seriously. Because I'm still not even sure if people want us in their communities. Because whenever you tell someone you know you're going to be asked the same stupid questions. Because people in fandom love to use you as a cool quirk to add to characters without respecting what it actually means. Because my life would be marginally better if everyone spent just 5 minutes reading about it on google. But hey it's not all negative you also get a unique outlook on life and an appreciation for beauty outside the norm.

Is Christmas a hard time for colourblind people?

Honestly as a colorblind person, I reaaally dislike how the word was appropriated into a negative term about racial perception. It's clearly important to talk about those things, but the term "raceblind" is right there and that one doesn't turn a disability term into a negative word!

Do you have any recs where Dream or George are blind? Or have a disability?

Since canids are colorblind what if the colorblindness carried over to werewolves' human forms?
