I have ptosis, as well as a lazy eye in that affected area, and existing can be so exhausting in such an insensitive society. Everyday, I am accused of being on drugs and/or parading around a "contagious" disease. I don't understand it. How can people be so cruel?
This is deformimisia.
I don't understand how people can be so cruel, either.

Mutations in a gene called FOXK2 identified as underlying the inherited disorder causing drooping eyelid or ptosis along with problems in other muscles. Looking at the mutation in zebrafish larvae (pictured) and mice, this study also elucidates the gene's role in muscle development

Huh. I saw your post about Zuko's disability, and you mentioned ptosis. I clicked the link and was confused. I thought, "That can't be a real thing, my eyes are exactly like- ooooooh." So now I have a word for why I always look like I'm halfway asleep! Thanks!
Go figure! My aunt (my cousin's mom) apparently has minor ptosis herself and never knew until her son was diagnosed with a more serious form. She thinks I might have a mild form too â my right eye falls shut when I'm tired or startled, and most of the time when I think I'm squinting (e.g. bright sunlight or heavy rain) I actually have my right eye closed and my left one open.
Mine definitely doesn't count as a disability under the Social Model, since no one comments on it except rarely to ask why I'm winking in photos. Hopefully you don't have to put up with the same bullshit as my cousin â teachers accusing him of sleeping in class, cops assuming he's high, peers calling him anti-Asian and anti-intellectual disability slurs, etc. If you do, I'm so sorry.

ptosis haver flag
[ptosis haver flag]
a flag for people with ptosis. ptosis iswhen your eyelid droops over your eye, possibly effecting your vision and sometimes caused by nerve damage.

Ptosis is when the upper eyelid droops over the eye. The eyelid may droop just a little, or so much that it covers the pupil (the black dot at the center of your eye that lets light in). Ptosis can limit or even completely block normal vision.
Iâm not saying that Kristen isnât beautiful but I couldnât help but notice that her right eyelid tends to droop a bit. Thereâs a name for a condition like that and itâs called Ptosis. Itâs like having a lazy eye but itâs the eyelid thatâs affected. It would probably help a lot of people with that condition to know that someone like Kristen has it tooâ„ïž
In honour of Disability Pride Month, I just wanted to spread a message that I havenât really seen anyone talking about yet.Â
Artists, writers, creators of any description: when youâre creating a character that you wish to portray as less intelligent, creepy, or just unappealing in general, DO NOT give that character features that are typically associated with disabled people. In particular, do not give them crossed eyes, a lazy eye, or anything of the sort.Â
Think about it; almost every character you see on the big screen who has lazy/crossed eyes is either stupid, ugly, a creep, or is just weird in general. Lazy/crossed eyes are used as shorthand for âthis character is meant to be ridiculed and seen as lesser than everyone elseâ. This is particularly a problem in cartoons - in childrenâs media. Hereâs some examples from the top of my head:
And thereâs countless more examples of this trope out there. As someone who was born with Ptosis, basically a lazy eyelid, this trope definitely affected me from a young age. When the only characters you see that look like you are weird or stupid or ugly, you internalise that shit. So my hope is that maybe a few people will see this post and become a little more educated about this issue so that we can put an end it.Â
