Hate and discrimination against the disabled

feministfang #sexist #racist #ableist #homophobia tumblr.com

I have zero sympathy for men of colour facing any kind of oppression because of their skin colour. I have zero sympathy for muslim or Arab men facing oppression because of their religion or ethnicity. I have zero sympathy for gay men who are oppressed because of their sexuality. I have zero sympathy for disabled men who face discrimination because of ableism. So just know that when i speak against homophobia, racism or ableism, i exclude these men from my activism. I don’t care if they’re victims so don’t ever expect me to stand with them they can die as well.

Parents with inconvenient Truths about Trans #ableist #crackpot #elitist #transphobia pittparents.com

Trans is NOT Kind
People are beginning to see that the “trans” phenomenon is not kind…

Medical transition is not just doctors and drug companies being unkind to patients. Removing healthy breasts because of a “feeling” is unkind to cancer patients who have lost breasts. What does elective genital removal surgery say to a man who lost his penis when he stepped on a landmine or to a woman who was subjected to genital mutilation against her will? What does the elective removal of a healthy, functioning body part say to any person who had to have a limb amputated?

Thankfully most people do not know about a condition called interstitial cystitis. It inflames the lining of the bladder and causes the sufferer to feel like they have a painful UTI all the time. My mother suffered from it for over a year. At the time there was no cure. The suicide rate for these people was higher than the suicide rate among cancer patients. We know that vaginoplasty results in numerous UTI’s. The rate of UTIs is as high as 67%. Women have a 50% rate of urinary problems after genital surgery. Many of these patients have numerous UTI’s. The constant use of antibiotics to treat these UTI’s breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria. This increases the risk of having a long lasting or even incurable UTI for everyone. That is very unkind.

Whether it is puberty blockers, hormones, or antibiotics, all these drugs end up in our water supplies.

Think also of the people who suffer from MS or do not have healthy hearts and bones. Is it kind to voluntarily increase your chances of suffering these conditions because of a feeling?

Trans surgeries tie up operating rooms causing other people’s surgeries to be delayed. When the government pays for these procedures, it increases the national debt, and when insurance pays everyone’s rates increase.

I feel the greatest unkindness comes from those who promote the idea that attempting to change one’s sex is the only possible course of action for their suffering. Activists, therapist and doctors who will not first consider treating underlying mental health issues are being unkind, as is anyone who does not abide by “do no harm” and who fails to encourage using non-medical therapies for a person’s discomfort over drugs and surgeries.

Sometimes the kindest thing is to say “no” to a person who wants something that is not good for them.

Think Before You Sleep #ableist #dunning-kruger youtube.com

I stand by my statement on Autism being a fake disability. Unless you have Rain Man autism, you aren't disabled. Down Syndrome is a real disability. Tourettes is a real disability. Cerebral Palsy is a real disability. Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD are like the type 2 diabetes of mental disorders. You can remove the negatives of them with changes in behavior. You cannot do that with Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, or Tourettes.

Quite honestly, I am tired of everyone on the internet diagnosing themselves with crippling, incurable autism simple because they are little lacking in social skills and because they have social anxiety. Get over it. Most of you would be cured with a little meditation and 6 months of leaving your house 1-2 times a week. I had a family member who would constantly blame other people for her problems and say that she couldn't get ahead in life because she had crippling ADHD. To which I would say, "You don't have ADHD, you're just crazy. Put real effort into managing your negative behaviors and the problems you are experiencing will go away." If you have Dyslexia then read "The Dyslexic Advantage." You aren't stupid, your brain is better at different things than other people and and worse at things that people are normally good at. Dyslexia is also a common indicator of successful people. Even with things like Schizophrenia. You'd be surprised at how many people with that have it because they are drug addicts. Not because they actually have the disease.

I'm tired of all the complaining from people. Stop diagnosing yourself as hopeless because you watched a YouTube video that said you are neurodivergent if you don't like certain smells. This is ridiculous and you're ruining your lives because you don't want to make simple changes and discipline yourself over time.

Ann Coulter, Mike Crispi, Alec Lace and Jay Weber #ableist #sexist eu.usatoday.com

A tearful, unscripted moment between Tim Walz and his 17-year-old son, Gus, has unleashed a flood of praise and admiration[…]
But the show of affection triggered a swath of snark and ugly comments on social media, many from MAGA supporters of former President Donald Trump, who faces Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Walz in November

Conservative columnist and right-wing provocateur Ann Coulter mocked the teenager’s tears. “Talk about weird,” she wrote on X. The message has since been deleted

Mike Crispi, a Trump supporter and podcaster from New Jersey, mocked Walz’s “stupid crying son” on X and added, “You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats”

Alec Lace, a Trump supporter who hosts a podcast about fatherhood, took his own swipe at the teenager: “Get that kid a tampon already,” he wrote, an apparent reference to a Minnesota state law that Walz signed as governor in that required schools to provide free menstrual supplies to students

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Jay Weber, a conservative Milwaukee radio host, made a now-deleted post on X criticizing the Walz family

“If the Walzs (sic) represent today's American man, this country is screwed: 'Meet my son, Gus. He's a blubbering b---- boy. His mother and I are very proud'”

After removing the post, Weber apologized and claimed he didn't know Gus had a learning disability

Henry Makow PhD #wingnut #racist #fundie #transphobia #homophobia #conspiracy #ableist henrymakow.com

The "woke" promotion of migration, vaccines, Ukraine, homosexuality, transvestism, CRT, "climate change" has nothing to do with human rights, or it would not trample on the human rights of healthy people.

It is a flimsy pretext for the destruction of Christian Western civilization, depopulation and the imposition of a Communist New World Order dedicated to serving Satan.

Satanism is war against God, i.e. the Moral and Natural Order. It inverts and unravels both, shreding the social fabric. It destroys its adherents.

Satanism is not a religion. Religion discerns & obeys God's Will.

Satanism is an anti-religion. It is a denial of the Creator's Plan. Its god is Death. It is the religion of Death, Destruction, and suffering.

Creation is a Miracle. If you deny the Creator's Design and Purpose, you are a Satanist. The only way mankind will make our rendezvous with God is for us all to serve Him by doing His work, as we see it. Raising healthy children is an example. Atheists and agnostics are Satanists.

Revelation 12:9 "....that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world."

(Protocols of Zion, 6)---"When we introduced into the State organism the poison of liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a change. States have been seized with a mortal illness--blood poisoning. All that remains is to await the end of their death agony." (Protocols of Zion, 9)

"In order that the true meaning of things may not strike the goyim before the proper time, we shall mask it under the alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes..."

A millennia-old satanic conspiracy is reaching a climax. If it is not arrested, mankind will enter a new Dark Age.

"But he that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Me love death." Proverbs 8:36

Donald trump #ableist #mammon #psycho #elitist twitter.com

I’m Fred Trump. I am the father of William Trump, a young man with complex disabilities. Donald has never asked, and not once ever met William. Which is, frankly, he’s missed out on a lot, getting to know William. When Donald was inaugurated, I knew that would be an opportunity for me and my wife Lisa to try to use his position as the president to the benefit of folks with intellectual and developmental disabilities. First person we reached out to was my cousin Ivanka. She was great and set us up a meeting with Ben Carson for as you may know housing issues for the disabled are a very tough issue. Throughout the couple of years, met with various other organizations within the executive branch. It culminated in a meeting in the white house in may of 2020. Covid was raging at the time, we were in the midst of an election. We had a final meeting with Donald, just to let Donald know personally, I had called him and said look, I really need you to listen to this okay?And he did and we spent 45 minutes. The meeting dispersed and he called me back in and we chatted for a minute and he goes “You know those people, all those expenses, those people should just die.” That was a brutal thing to hear, on the large scale. But then a few years later we were talking about something and, mentioning William, he goes “Your son doesn’t recognize you, let him die and move down to Florida.”

I don’t know how to explain how somebody could say that about any human being, but to say it about your grand nephew was beyond anything I could imagine.

Whenever I sit and truly think about the current social landscape in America, I ponder on where all this lunacy leads. Both Millennial and Gen Z generations have falling way behind modern expectations and their maturity levels are the equivalent to a petulant child who refuses to grow up. When the adults in the room finally die and all that is left are these manchildren and their larva, do we truly think these weak, feeble, gullible wasted generations have the ability to sustain this great country?

This is a very serious problem that not even a minority within these generations are addressing. I think the problem is a lack of shame in this country. Look at how People today have no respect for their physical appearance, they go to job interviews in old t-shirts and flipflops or they dress to emulate their manchild obsession (video games, cartoons, etc). And ridiculing these obnoxious evolution throw backs does nothing because the Internet gives People the opportunity to find communities that embrace and promote whatever manchild bull shit and/or sexual perversion imaginable.

Look at where all this bull shit has gotten us. We’ve got People creating new genders, we have an obsession on sexualizing children, we have People who allowed themselves to be injected with an experimental concoction for clout, we have a People who believe that being virtuous is creating a 45 second TikTok video about the top story of the time. Let’s not forget People hated the COVD19 lockdowns, masks, Anthony Fauci, etc. and yet are politically supporting the man that made all this a reality (Trump). Nothing makes any sense anymore!

I consider myself lucky because I’m old and will be long gone from this place to see the manchild induced, AI controlled totalitarianism that People are naively allowing into their lives without question. Because if you don’t think AI is being rolled out to subjugate and potentially nullify mankind, then maybe we deserve what happens to us.

So I guess there is nothing left to do but what I can, hope a few souls understand so they can change the plan for man.

Noose #homophobia #pratt #ableist ropeculture.org

Despite there indeed being several sources for faggotry, they nevertheless always come down to choice. Regardless of the origins of faggotry, it is in the end unified by its nature as degenerate behavior. You can thus equate it to a vice. Faggotry must be treated as a vice and not as a social group. Vices have to be overcome, or else you’re just a degenerate. That’s why by and large, regardless of the roots of faggotry, it becomes a choice of either indulging in it or denying it – so it is always a choice. Just like how one has a choice not to eat themselves into a hamplanet, but if they do so it betrays a weakness of character, weakness of will, lack of integrity and ultimately selfish and narcissistic behavior.

So what if you are “born that way“? Either get treatment or simply overcome it by sheer will-power. Psychological disorder? Same thing. Perversion? Fucking stop it. This ultimately comes down to the subject of one’s inherent inferiority and the test of Free Will.

If the choice was out of their hands (forced labor, slavery, forced exercising) the material change would follow, because all of that is merely material and subject to changeability. But as soon as you let them off that leash their weak spirit will surrender to material desires. What makes them inferior is their inherent nature, their weak spirit. That is what you are born with, everything else simply follows from there. There are those of strong will who succumb to degeneracy all the same, as it is hard to escape the decay of the world around us, but it is possible. It is easy to fall from grace and it is hard to climb back up, but for the inferior there are no options.

That is the Test of Free Will, which exists only for those who have strong spirit and strong will, they are given a choice: succumb or overcome.

RE: Almost every single time - AUTISM
( pennygadget )
IMO, this trans fad is a sinister way to castrate autistic people (mainly autistic kids). Its so much easier for a clinician to tell an autistic girl that testosterone will magically fix her problems instead of helping her work through her issues and learn to adapt to society

( RusticTroglodyte )
I agree. It's a convenient way to get ppl who are autistic, or same sex attracted to self-sterilize

( PracticalMagic )
Honestly call me a nasty old woman but I am growing so BORED with neurodiversity. Everyone and her dog is neurodiverse now. It's become meaningless and at worst a set of excuses to do nothing.

Autism is a real thing of course but it's bwcome the left handedness of the 2020s, something everyone suddenly wants because it's more "creative".

( OverTheWall )
Same. Its kind of to a point where we’ve determined that, yes, every brain is an individual and works in a speshul individual way, and maybe people learn and function differently than one another.

But the neuro-divergent bubble wrap sad marshmallow gang just went full stupid with this concept and use their differences as an excuse to not try hard at anything and just give up on learning to function or even thrive.

Hell, I feel like a neurodivergent diagnoses is a self fulfilling prophecy. None of them seem turn their differences into anything positive or take the information they learn about how their brain works to be better, even just at one specific thing, but instead just cry “I can’t do that because I’m NeUroDiVeGenT”.

( Bml7864 )
Yes, but I wonder how many have been diagnosed vs self diagnosed. In today's society, people are using "I'm autistic" or "I have ADHD" as a get out of jail free card to act however they want without having to work on themselves.

( VestalVirgin )
True, but I do think many of the girls who trans have autism.

It would explain why they fall for the lie that it is possible to have a sex-change surgery (and other lies TRAs tell) so easily: They don't expect to be lied to.

On the planet NIBIRU, ALALU had seized the Throne and wed his daughter Princess DAMKINA to Prince ENKI. Damkina and Enki’s son, MARDUK, would succeed Alalu. But, 400,000 years ago, ANU overthrew Alalu to complete the mining of gold from the asteroids or Earth to convert to WHITE POWDER OF MONOATOMIC GOLD to float into Nibiru’s ionisphere and preserve its atmosphere. Alalu had fled to Earth, found gold and tried to regain the Nibiran Crown, but Anu defeated him and exiled him to die on MARS.

King Anu had sent his three annoying and quarrelsome kids–Enki, Princess NINMAH and ENLIL (Anu’s legal heir and the father of Ninmah’s son, NINURTA)–to Earth. Last Time, we accompanied Ninmah as she landed on Mars.
<...>
On Earth Anu had made ENLIL (Yahweh), now Commander of the goldmining expedition, obsessed with besting Enki (Adonai), who was now Chief of Goldmining and Science Operations.
<...>
Ninmah, their half-sister (and only half-sister on Earth). Nibiran law would count their lines royal only through boys they begat with Ninmah.

Enlil renewed his courtship of Ninmah. If he could get her pregnant again, and if she’d bare him another boy, he’d best Enki. He and Enki both wanted babies with Ninmah, their half-sister (and only half-sister on Earth). Nibiran law would count their lines royal only through boys they begat with Ninmah.
<...>
To this day, the adapted hybrid Nibirans we are remain trapped in a rivalry between Enki and Enlil over Ninmah. Nowadays the followers of Enki’s son Marduk (who came to be called Ra, Amen, Satan and perhaps Allah) battle with the followers of Enlil (who came to be called Yahweh, Jehovah or even, like Nannar or Marduk, “Allah).”

Time we dropped rivalry based on this ancient romance, pre-modern concepts of hierarchy, and the denigration of females that both Marduk and Enlil exhibit.

Savitri and Ravi Kumar #ableist #psycho wltx.com

Police in south India have arrested a couple after the woman allegedly threw their deaf and nonverbal 6-year-old son into a crocodile infested canal, leading to the child's death.

The incident happened in the Dandeli rural area of Karnataka state on Saturday, according to police, who told CBS News that Savitri, 26, who uses only one name, threw her son into a local canal after an argument with her husband.

[…]

"We found the child's body from the canal on Sunday morning," Karnataka Police sub-inspector Krishna Arakeri, who is investigating the case, told CBS News. "There were several injury marks on the child's body and one hand was missing, which seems to have been eaten by a crocodile."

During preliminary questioning, Savitri told police that her husband, Ravi Kumar, 27, would often blame her for their son's disabilities and urge her to throw him into the river, Arakeri said.

Divine Hiddennesss and Spiritual Autism
ABSTRACT: If God exists and wishes to be known, then why do some not have a relationship with God? Arguments against atheist conclusions from divine hiddenness have been offered, but I ask how understanding autism may help to explain seeking reflective nonbelievers. Seeking reflective nonbelievers are in a state of spiritual autism. If a spiritual autist, one does not know God relationally. Autism is a significant disability in that it can preclude knowing others as persons qua persons. I provide an overview of autism and spiritual autism, review the problem of divine hiddenness, and address six issues that reveal how spiritual autism may be overcome.

Ever feel like you struggle to find the faith to receive healing for your child from autism? Or wonder if you are fighting against the will of God with your prayers?

I once did. Our good Father does not want you to wonder. His Word makes it clear we can look to it and know His will on a great many things - including autism spectrum disorder.

Filled with scriptural proof and revelation by the Holy Spirit, this book will help you discover the truth that will set you free, so you'll know with certainty that autism is not God's will for your child (nor you!). The revelatory teachings found in this book shine the light of His Word onto this disorder fully exposing how it exalts itself against the will of God, so you may take authority over autism in Jesus' name.

If you're praying for autism to be healed for your child, then this is a great book to add to your faith arsenal, and may its words destroy every lie the enemy has ever spoken to you about this disorder which is not of God: "For God is NOT the Author of DISORDER but of peace," (1 Corinthians 14:33).

MOM'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER!

I'm Unvaccinated and That's OK! is the story of an unvaccinated child named Nicholas Novaks, who shares the many reasons why his parents have chosen not to vaccinate him. Nicholas explains his parents’ personal concerns about vaccine injury, the importance of finding a doctor they can trust and openly speak with, the research they did before making this decision, and what life is like for an unvaccinated child who has an older, vaccine-injured sibling.

Inspired by the personal stories of vaccine-injured children, which have been shared with Dr. Shannon Kroner over many years of working with special needs families, Dr. Kroner aims to raise awareness of the importance of vaccine choice and the necessity of doing the research before making an important decision such as vaccination.

Join Nicholas as he shares what it means to be an unvaccinated child in today’s world and why one's personal choice regarding vaccination must always be respected.

The conflicted behaviours of AS; the so-called “cuteness” and then extreme bullying which is noted by Lydia Netzer; are present throughout that person’s life. These behaviours carry into all close relationships.

Autism is not cute in the privacy of their own home. It is tyrannical and controlling; all “cuteness”, charm they display outside the home completely disappears. This is the Jekyll and Hyde described by Prof Tony Attwood. Their prompt dependence is never acknowledged by them, like Lydia’s son has, and when they are helped by a spouse/partner they become angry and they bully and berate that person. Conflict and chaos are what happens when AS is involved.

It would be very helpful if AS adults admit that his/her spouse helps them cope with life.

Pastor Matt Baker #ableist #elitist #fundie wptv.com

The Private School Trinity Christian Academy cancels Autism Awareness Week after Lead Pastor calls it Demonic.

"The word 'Christian' means 'Like Christ,' and it was given to the followers of Christ because they acted just like Jesus. Remember those bracelets from the 2000s that asked, 'WWJD?' If Jesus Christ led Trinity, would HE have an Autism Awareness Week? Of course not! Why? Because anything that exalts itself above the name of Christ should be brought down. Also, anything that teaches our children to have their identity in anything other than Christ is idolatry and demonic. Let me repeat myself just so I am not quoted out of context: any philosophy, teaching, or program that teaches our precious children that their identity is found in anything other than Christ is idolatry and demonic. Period. The world, in its rejection and hatred of Christ, often devises programs such as 'Autism Awareness' (and cultural figures like the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause, etc.) to get the benefits of His teachings (compassion, kindness, feeling love, and self-worth) without acknowledging Jesus as the ultimate authority and the source of all life. These initiatives imply that Jesus alone is insufficient, and we fail to recognize just how deeply they have permeated into our daily lives as Christians. As a result, we have 'a form of godliness but deny its power (2 Timothy 3:5).'"

so let the immune deficient ppl stay home instead of everybody. y drag the rest down with u because ur disabled?? thats like cutting off everyone elses legs just cuz ur in a wheelchair. the lockdown was for literal years and applied to everyone not just the sick. also most cant afford to say home when sick thats an Extreme luxury. I dont have problems with vaccinations I have problems with forced coerced and pressured vaccinations.
I would LOVE to stay home when Im sick but I cant afford it usually.
its not my problem some ppl are immunocompromised so they should stop trying to make it everyones problem that they are. most of those ppl are also that way by their own fault ie obese or theyre just super old in which case they already had their good run.

It is different from dyslexia in that dyslexia actually has a specific effect that can be measured.

The same cannot be said for dyscalculia, where the diagnosis is basically “Oh, looks like you struggle with math and numbers. Must be dyscalculia.”

“Dyscalculia” is almost always the result of one or more other learning disabilities, whether a memory problem, a reasoning problem, a perception problem, or otherwise. You’ll never find dyscalculia without finding at least one other learning disability that causes dyscalculia.

So sure, if dyscalculia is just a label for a specific result of other disabilities, then yeah, it exists. But dyscalculia itself isn’t a specific disability with a specific measurable effect.

But in the end, regardless of the existence of dyscalculia, if there is one thing that needs to be stopped more than anything else, it’s the self-diagnosis by math students who struggle with math for one reason or another (usually the teacher’s or curriculum’s fault). And when they get that diagnosis, they give up on math, or stop trying as hard.

Again, I’m not going to validate an excuse for bad teaching practices and the discouragement of learning.

danegraphics #ableist reddit.com

Yes, learning disabilities exist, but “dyscalculia”, a disability that somehow specializes in mathematics, a non-biological non-social construct of the modern age, is a nonsensical concept.

Sure, students can have adhd, or aphantasia, or dyslexia, or some other disability, or combination of disabilities, that makes it difficult to learn math on top of the other effects those disabilities have. But there is no such thing as a disability that affects mathematics only and nothing else.

Any student can learn, even with learning disabilities. It’s just a matter of find a way to work with or around the disability. Saying “oh, you have a disability that makes it impossible for you to be good at math” is one of the worst things anyone could ever tell a child.

I’m not going to validate a lie that can only hinder a child’s ability to learn and grow.

Responses to female comedian top surgery photo
Comedian Sarah Keyworth posted a photo of herself post-op on IG. She identifies as NB. It’s only been up an hour and the outpouring of congratulations has me feeling so sad.

The gaslighting is unreal… everyone is literally looking at a photo of someone who had perfectly healthy body parts removed and they’re celebrating it. It’s just so strange and disturbing…

( Killer_Danish )
It’s soooo pathetic when adults force everyone to play an extreme version of pretend. No, you are not “non-binary” because you paid some hack surgeon to do away with your breasts; you’re a self-hating woman who expresses that hatred through medically sanctioned self-harm! That is the honest truth!

Who is that other female comedian who had her bits hacked-off for her sOoOoOpEr SpEsHiAl iDeNtITy? Mae something… equally pathetic!

( Raea )
it wasn't long ago... maybe 25 years... that people who cut off healthy body parts "to feel more whole" were featured on sally or dr phil, like sideshow freaks, and EVERYONE said "why? why did you need to do this?" it was some freaky collective social exercise, where we all looked on in horror, shaking our heads and thanking whatever deity we respected that we didn't have "that kind" of terrible mental illness.

( FeminismIs4Women )
Another lesbian groomed into extreme self harm.

This probably doesn't make much sense but NB identified women getting mastectomies was one of the things that peaked me. I bought the whole 'born in the wrong body narrative' so stupid as I was, I accepted the idea of a woman having surgery to feel more like the man she is inside (I was so so stupid).

But seeing NB feminine women who didn't claim to be men get mastectomies for no particular reason really shocked and sickened me. Of course when you properly think about it for 5 minutes having your healthy breast removed for non-medical purposes is insane. But seeing women treat this surgery, that most women only get to save their lives, as casually as getting botox or lip fillers is unbelievable.

( Radishe )
I can remember when women with mastectomies were ashamed and told to wear fake breast or breasts when coming to the doctor's office so they wouldn't scare the other patients. Now women are doing it on purpose and openly bragging about it. This isn't progress.

Russ Winter #wingnut #conspiracy #ableist #racist winterwatch.net

Have you ever asked yourself why Americans lack basic critical thinking skills? Is it the fault of the education system, or have Americans been drugged and brainwashed into believing what the sistema tells them to believe?

In the general population, there is epidemic use of psychotropic drugs, either prescribed or self-medicated. Those who use them might show signs of cognitive dissonance. A report from Medco shows that one out of five adult Americans are taking at least one legally prescribed psychiatric drug. Among women, the statistic is one in four.
<...>
Then there is the use of neurotoxin fluoride. The media bombards drugged viewers with neuro-linguistic and symbolic programming designed to counter critical thinking.

Getting back to more extreme applications of these methods, the fodder for the more seriously mind controlled individuals is immense. For instance, right now there are tens of thousands of young homeless Latin American and Middle Eastern children deliberately being led across the borders, where they become wards of the state in makeshift camps. It’s a breeding ground for a Fabian-like army. There are literally tens of millions of children all over the world living on the streets or are institutionalized.

These children are exploited by psychopathic criminals for all types of purposes, from labor and sex slaves to special assignments. There are dozens of accounts from survivors of these programs, but their stories are typically dismissed and, of course, unreported by Crime Syndicate-controlled media.

The best subjects for mind control operations are those who are intelligent and have Asperger syndrome, a form of autism. They are very mechanical individuals and, as such, are perfect for these programs. They are given a trigger or template in their conditioning. Of late, it seems to be something in the Joker or Batman genre.

(Re: A trans woman joined a sorority. Then her new sisters turned on her.)

His autism is irrelevant. Autistic males are just as deeply inculcated wih male socialization as all males. They absorb it just as much as all other males. They may even be less likely to ever have any misgivings about the violation and sense of entitlement of male socialization.

So what if he feels "bad" for women rejecting his presence in a sex-specific women's space. If he feels like garbage for being rejected, that is appropriate. Hopefully he will feel so profoundly rejected as a POS that he will leave the sorority, where he will never - can never - belong.

[From “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”]

Notre-Dame de Paris is a novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831, that focuses on the unhappy story of Quasimodo, the gipsy Esmeralda and the archdeacon Claude Frollo in 15th-century Paris[…]
When I started watching the 1939 film after half a century of not seeing it, I detected some terrible messages from its opening

It didn’t take me long to discover that the director was born into a German family of Ashkenazi Jews and that he even returned to Germany after the Allied dogs won the war![…]
I only remember that as a child I was impressed by the story. But yesterday when I started watching it again, after so long, I realised, as I just said, that the movie starts with bad messages

In Paris, there is a new order preventing the passage of gipsies. True, the director cast mudblood actors to play them, but typically in Hollywood (and we’re talking about 1939!) he artfully chose an Aryan actress to play the gipsy Esmeralda[…]
Surrealism reaches the viewer when the movie’s bad guy, Claude Frollo, says ‘You come from an evil race’ to the Aryan actress posing as a gipsy

I stopped watching the film at that point and started watching the original film of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I mean the one from 1923[…]
Although Esmeralda, in this century-old film, isn’t as Aryan as the other, in this version it is explained at the outset that her whiteness is due to the fact that she was born in a high cradle and, as a child, had been abducted by gipsies[…]
I don’t want to get too much into the film from the point of view of the sacred words. That would mean messing directly with Victor Hugo—and that would mean another entry: an entry of literary criticism rather than cinematic criticism. Suffice it to say that baby Quasimodo wouldn’t have been allowed to live in Sparta, and that Hugo is right that Notre Dame reflects the soul of France which, unlike the teen I was half a century ago, is no longer the soul that interests me

Jason Klop #ableist #quack cbc.ca

A Fraser Valley naturopath who charged families thousands of dollars to give their autistic children pills and enemas made from human feces has agreed to give up his licence, after more than four years of investigations and legal battles.

Jason Klop has claimed "dramatic improvements" in the autism symptoms of children as young as two that he's treated with fecal microbiota transplants at clinics in Mexico, Hungary, Australia and Panama, at a cost of about $15,000 US.

Klop has now admitted that his business violated multiple standards and regulations of his profession, according to a public notice posted online by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C.

Under the terms of the consent order, Klop has admitted to promoting and selling fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) for autistic patients in defiance of Health Canada rules and the scope of practice for B.C. naturopaths. The notice says he continued to do this work even after being warned he was breaking the rules.

He's also admitted to making "unverifiable statements" in his advertising, and allowing Canadians to have intermittent access to his website, despite promising they would have none.

Doctors and scientists have warned that any other use of this emerging therapy is experimental and carries serious risk of infection, while people with autism have denounced Klop's procedure as an unproven treatment that puts vulnerable children in danger.

Rev. Greg Locke #fundie #ableist rawstory.com

Pastor Greg Locke is trying to deny a controversial remark he made over the weekend, suggesting that people in wheelchairs are disabled because of insufficient faith in God

"Churches in the American culture — you know one of the largest expenses we have in buildings?" said Locke, who runs the Global Vision Bible megachurch in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. "The amount of handicap parking and handicap accessibility that we have in our churches. Now I'm gonna make you mad for a minute and I don't really care. Why is it you pull up to a church that says they operate in faith, and you have fifty handicapped parking spots?"

"We just expect that people are going to leave church the same way they came to church," Locke continued. "We ought to start having some signs out there, that don't have, you know, like handicap accessibility, people in a wheelchair. We ought to start having signs of a wheelchair laying (sic) down and someone just walking up. Well, Pastor, I think you're being insensitive — I think you just don't have any faith is what I think!"

(submitter’s note: This is from an interview with an anti-vax chiropractor who wrote a book titled “Goodbye Germ Theory” and is just one sample of a massive avalanche of nonsense)

One of the things he was talking about is how they’re stealing people’s souls. These shots prevent you from connecting with the fourth and fifth dimensions and having the internal sense that there is something greater than this three-dimensional reality. We’re all born with this. That’s our connection to spirit and God.

All of that stuff is listed in my book but I’ll give you the main terrible ones. People say, “How can a shot disconnect you from your soul?” It’s because we are beings of awareness. We’re all born as children with an awareness of self and something greater than us. That is our awareness of God. That connects us all together. It’s what prevents us from committing atrocities on one another, the planet, and nature. It’s what connects us as a species through love, our children, and wanting to continue that process with our children.

Our love for animals, trees, and the environment all come from that connection and awareness that we have to something greater than a third-dimensional reality. It’s the inner God that we all feel and sense. The Christians will call it the Holy Spirit. It’s that power that you turn to when you have had enough of life. You close your eyes and say, “I need help.” You get help. That’s a kinesthetic connection.

These shots are acting to turn that off, block you, and put a veil over that connection. When you don’t have that connection to fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth-dimensional reality, and God any more, you can be easily controlled. You are a manufactured slave or servant. That’s why they’re doing all the gender stuff as well.

One of the things that they did in the communist revolution in China was he dressed all of the attractive women in men’s clothing. There’s only one autonomistic gender. There are no differences and that’s easier to control as well. They’re trying to turn the human race into a bunch of hermaphroditic, self-serving, and self-pleasuring narcissists who have no connection to anything but the state and what the state can give them and tell them what to do.

Walking away from new friend with potential BPD

Hey guys, this is just as the title says. I met a new friend and we were having some amazing conversation. Eventually, we ended up talking about psychiatry. I said to her that I understand how diagnoses are really tricky, but I still do not want anyone with BPD near me (based on horrible experiences I have had with BPD relationships.) she told me she has a potential BPD diagnosis, and she is talking with her doctor about it. Here’s what I said in response:

“Ah, gotcha. Have had some really negative experiences with people with bpd. It was really lovely talking to you and I truly do wish you all the best, [NAME].”

Was I being a dick to end the new friendship after finding that out? I feel very self-protective when it comes to people with bpd and can’t risk derailing my life for someone who falls into the criteria.

Would love to know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!

Joe Salant #ableist #crackpot #fundie #quack vice.com

An evangelical pastor who briefly shot to fame in 2015 for recording a rap song in support of Sen. Ted Cruz is now selling industrial-strength bleach tablets to parents and has admitted that many of his customers are using the product to treat autism in their children.

Joe Salant, who grew up in an affluent New Jersey family, became a born-again Christian after coming out of drug rehab when he was in his early twenties, having spent six months in jail for drug possession. Recently, he has become part of the American Renewal Project, which aims to have a pastor from “every church in America” run for elected office by 2024. Salant preaches a Christian nationalist ideology that positions the church at the heart of all aspects of American society.

In his spare time he continues to release rap records with titles like “Human Sacrifices” and “Dies in Vain,” in which he raps about child trafficking.

In recent months he’s taken on a new role as the U.S representative for a company called Safrax, which markets chlorine dioxide tablets that are advertised on the company’s website as industrial products for odor removal, disinfection, and as cleaners for hot tubs and jacuzzis.

But over the phone, Salant said many people are using the treatments in an attempt to treat autism in children.

“Autism? Yeah, I mean it’s a common treatment,” Salant said, according to a recording of a phone call obtained by Ireland-based activist Fiona O’Leary and shared with VICE News. “We’re not allowed to recommend [our products] for it specifically but yeah, the protocols in the Andreas Kalcker book [which] we have on our website… it’s commonly used for that.”

A message on the Safrax website informs customers that there is a 2-4 week delay in sending out orders specifically due to overwhelming demand for the product as a result of the tablets being featured on the radio show of pseudoscience conspiracist Mike Adams. Salant claimed on the customer phone call that Safrax has no official relationship with Adams, but added that “we’re fans” of his show.

Pastor Rick Morrow #ableist #crackpot #fundie kansascity.com

Pastor Rick Morrow of Beulah Church in Richland, Missouri, has received heavy criticism following the comments made during a Wednesday, Sept. 6, sermon. Morrow claimed autism can be treated if you “just cast the demon out.”

“I know a minister who has seen lots of kids that are autistic, that he cast that demon out, and they were healed, and then he had to pray and their brain was rewired and they were fixed,” Morrow told his congregation.

“If it’s not demonic, then we have to say God made them that way,” he continued. “Like that’s the only other explanation. ’Why does my kid have autism?’ Well, either the devil has attacked them, he’s brought this infirmity upon them, he’s got them where he wants them, and/or God just doesn’t like them very much, and he made them that way. Well my God doesn’t make junk. God doesn’t make mess ups.”

“I have been told that autism is a blessing from God. I have been told that I’m the evil one,” Morrow said. “But you know what? If I was to stand up here and say cancer is junk, people would agree. If I were to stand up here and say addiction is junk, people would agree.”

Morrow resigned from his Board of Education position on Tuesday, KY3 reported. Stoutland Schools said in a statement to KY3 that Morrow’s comments do “not speak for the Board of Education as a whole, nor the district itself."

ADHD, autism, and depression, are NOT REAL.

You don't have adhd. You're just obnoxious. (I'm sorry but i honestly don't know what else you want me to say. If you can give me a better way to say this, I'd happily edit this.)

You don't have autism, you've just been bullied and your self-esteem has suffered because of that. So now you feel awkward in certain situations. You don't know where to put your hands, because you're worried that somebody is looking at you. It's essentially just an after effect of bullying.

Depression is not a mental illness. It's sadness. It's a human fucking emotion. Something bad happened to you. Now you're feeling sad about it. That's normal.

Sometimes White Lies can make us feel better. I'm honestly happy for you if you're feeling better because of a diagnosis like this. But that doesn't give you the right to live a lie. Doesn't give you a right to Gaslight everyone around you.

Find a healthy way to feel better about yourself. You don't have a right to tell people lies just because it makes you feel better about yourself. Stop being obnoxious. Except that something bad happened to you and you have to work through that. Don't listen to bullies. You're not divergent or wrong just because you're good at something that they're not good at. Or because they can't apply themselves.

Vivek Ramaswamy #wingnut #ableist vox.com

In one of the most striking tangents of the night, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy even advocated for reopening “mental health institutions” that have closed over the decades as the country sought to cut costs (starting in the Reagan administration) and tried — but has largely failed — to invest in more humane home- and community-based services. He framed putting more people with mental health problems into those institutions as one of the most important ways to address crime.

“Just over the same period that we have closed mental health institutions, we have seen a spike in violent crime. Do we have the spine to bring them back?” he said. “I think we should. As president, I will.”

I have interviewed people who were subjected to the cruel treatment that was often commonplace in the mental health asylums of old. The new mental health paradigm is focused much more on treating people where they are. While the US has struggled to erect a sufficient mental health system given the scale of the country’s needs, few people who work in the field would argue that a return to the institutions of that era is the recipe for fixing our mental health crisis.

But Ramaswamy, the biggest non-Trump sensation of the GOP primary so far, does. He even implicitly allowed that “drugging up people in those psychiatric institutions with Zoloft and Seroquel” would be part of the program (but not the only part; he also wants a return to the patriotism, faith, and family that he believes constitutes the American character).

The Last Reformation (TLR) and Rev. Torben Sondergaard #fundie #ableist #quack #conspiracy au.news.yahoo.com

The Queensland Department of Education has spoken out after a controversial religious group that says it can "free" people of autism, cancer and homosexuality promoted an indoctrination event at a Brisbane school

The Last Reformation (TLR), an evangelical Christian church founded by Danish baker-turned-pastor Torben Sondergaard, angered locals by announcing it would hold a "Kickstart" at a public high school next month

"Am I reading this right: a religious group that performs child exorcism is travelling to Australia and has been allowed to use Cavendish Road State High School to recruit followers?" a concerned resident asked[…]
In an interview with Spain's The Local in 2016, Mr Sondergaard clarified he does not claim to "heal" autism but instead, "frees" people of the "demons" that cause it

"It happened in Australia to a nine-year-old-girl who suffered autism. She was freed from demons and she was happy," Mr Sondergaard said. "It wasn't something shocking like a big man holding her down. She was with her mother and we all prayed and the demon was cast out and she was happy and the mother was happy"[…]
The group announced a series of training events — or "Kickstarts" — in Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide[…]
Mr Sondergaard is currently in detention in the US after he was arrested in July 2022 for alleged gun smuggling – an accusation that TLR vehemently denies[…]
After the Department of Education addressed TLR's request, the group announced a change of venue and has since cancelled all forthcoming events in Australia, citing "attacks and persecution"

An update on TLR's Eventbrite page states that the events couldn't go ahead as one of the church's preachers, Jón Bjarnastein, was denied a visa[…]
"So from all of this, it's very clear that there are people working behind the scenes; and they seem to be working very hard to prevent us from continuing"
