Why do abled people always fucking suggest the most basic things to “fix” disabled people’s problems/disabilities and act like they know better than we do???
If you, a person who does not live with the disability you’re trying to “fix”, can think of a solution off the top of your head without any research, experience, or even trying to actually understand what we have tried and what we’re actually dealing with don’t you think that we might’ve already or are already trying that???
For me this comes most from my mother saying that I need to change my diet (even though I have so many sensory issues surrounding food and have tried and failed so many times), that I need to lose weight (ma’am I am trying), that I should try stretching (you know what I’ve tried that for years and guess what it just stretches my ligaments because I’m fucking hypermobile and it ends up causes me more pain), that I need to exercise more (I’m trying but I’m also limited by pain. Pain that keeps me from being able to exercise most of the time. Pain that usually gets worse when I try to exercise), that I should try to not use my mobility aids because I’ll become reliant on them (ma’am they help me. They are not hurting me. They are what keeps me able to do stuff you want me to be able to do. Why should I try to not use them???), and so much fucking more
Like seriously abled people stop pretending you know our bodies better than we do I promise you you don’t. Even doctors (as shit as they might be) are supposed to listen to us before they even start to make recommendations (yeah many don’t but they’re supposed to)
A clearer example of this user's toxic behavior. Seriously, do not interact with this person if at all possible.
In case anyone was sleptical about DJM Rexim stalking and harassing people. This is only a FRACTION of what they have done to me. They admitted to harassing two other people, but there have been dozens more, and it's been going on for years. Then they accused me of stalking, for...knowing that they abuse people. OH, AND THIS TIME, it started because somebody called them out for making a tweet using the n-slur, hard R and all, even though they're white. They accused this person of being me on an alt account even though I have ZERO PROBLEMS calling them out on main, and have done so many times. This person is a POC, and they threatened her for daring to speak up against them. As shown below.
I later found out that this was a friend of mine. Rexim asked for proof that we are seperate people, and when presented with it, they accused me of making it up and then ignored it.
And here they are avoiding critisism. DJM Rexim is an awful, abusive person, and I am TIRED of them getting away with this shit and having their abusive bullshit swept under the rug, just because they have been in fandom for a long time. Stop supporting this person, report them, and don't defend them. This is why Rexim has been getting away with it for over a decade.
