It's beastiality, not zoophilia.

Its corpse desecration, not necrophile.

"You're being pedantic!" People tell me, even those within mental health movements themselves.

So is it pedantic when people point out that narcissistic is not the same as "egotistical/self-absorbed/emotionally abusive"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that psycho, psychopath, and sociopath aren't the same thing as "criminal/abuser"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that schizophrenic, psychosis, and delusional aren't the same as "quirky/lying to oneself"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that ADHD and autism are not the same as "being quirky"?

Is it pedantic when people point out that low/no empathy/sympathy is not the same thing as "being cruel"?

Is it pedantic? Or are you just unwilling to admit that paraphilic disorders are stigmatized, and that thousands of non-offending paraphiles get demonized by your statements?

Is it pedantic? Or are you just unwilling to recognize that most predators do not have para disorders [link], and that even those who do are predatory because they're bad people, not because of their condition?

When will ya'll admit that you're unwilling to give up the concept of an "evil disorder"?

people who hate paras are so fucking embarrassing it ain't even funny

oh yea? you're "protecting" children? hows bitching on reddit helping a single victim out there. Like the moment you equate real life children suffering to "fictional children" is the moment you fully lost the fucking plot. It's such a slap in the fucking face to every goddamn victim out there.

Yea I'm sure that make-believe victim truly is just so much more important than being fucking normal and doing anything to help actual victims in the real world. sure it's worth spreading misinfo about kink & paras completely drowning out actual abuse victims' stories.

Pedophilia is an actual mental illness. And just because someone has it does not make them a bad person. It is, by definition, thoughts and feelings. And thoughts and feelings do not automatically equal action. To imply or explicitly say or act like they do is ableist.

This is ableism, transphobia, exorsexism, and varsexism.

Holy shit. I cannot believe this. So much is wrong with this, where do I even begin?

The people they want to ban from driving include:

-Deaf and HOH people. (Literally for what purpose? Because they may not be able to hear honking and police sirens? Well, just being observant of surroundings is all that's really necessary, you don't have to hear to be a safe driver!)

-People with colorblindness (not all forms of colorblindness make it impossible to tell a red light vs green light!)

-People with epilepsy. (Plenty of epileptics are not a danger behind the wheel!)

-People with paraphilic disorders. (I cannot even concieve of a possible connection. It's just stereotyping us as dangerous individuals.)

-Schizospecs. (Literally just the stereotype that a schizospec person becomes dangerous when having an episode, that is not the case for a majority of them.)

-People with personality disorders (again, for what purpose? Just stereotyping us as dangerous?)

-People with behavioral disorders (Like with para disorders and personality disorders, its just again, another stereotype!)

-People with neurodevelopmental disabilities (not all neurodevelopmental disabilities impair ability to drive!)

theyre not gonna read your sources.

i see this shit EVERYWHERE. i can't do anything online without stumbling across it at least once a day

I love you therians and other alterhumans who feel attacked and disrespected right now. Your identity is real and valid and you are not simply playing pretend.

I love you neopronoun users, your pronouns are just as worthy of respect as any other persons, even if you use them exclusively. Yes, it is misgendering for people to assign you "normal pronouns"

I love you schizo-spec people. You deserve autonomy and freedom like everyone else. You are real people. People should never EVER use your disability as a way to attack you, and I'm sorry it happens so often.

I love you transmascs, always and forever, and I'm sorry your safe space is going to shit right now. I see you.

I love you endogenic systems. You are the only people who know yourselves, and fakeclaiming is still fakeclaiming even when the people doing it are being "nice" about it. Saying someone doesn't know their own experiences is still fakeclaiming, even if the experience being called into question isn't systemhood specifically. Your origins are valid.

I love you CSAM survivors who are frustrated with constantly seeing people conflate fiction with your lived, traumatic experiences.

I love you if you have a paraphilic disorder. You are not inherently dangerous for an attraction, and you deserve safe coping mechanisms that do no harm.

I love you transfems that believe in transandrophobia and love your transmasc siblings, I'm sorry that the trans community keeps turning on you from both sides. It's really scary right now, and I hope that everyone can find peace soon enough.

I love you intersex people who are feeling sidelined by the discourse completely. I know how much it hurts to see people using terms created by and for intersex people as a scapegoat way to attack trans people. I see how it hurts you.

I love you nonbinary people who are dealing with the constant re-invention of the "new woke gender binary". It's fucking annoying, and you're allowed to just be nonbinary.
