When someone randomly calls me to task online for calling myself an autistic person, because it should be "person first, not labels."And then compounds it by suggesting 'person with cognitive delay' is more appropriate language....It took a LOT OF MENTAL ENERGY not to implode them on the spot.It's in a wider discussion on diversity awareness, and I think it's really important to make the awareness point and challenge this stuff politely. But yeesh...bottling that up is stressful.I don't mind person first rhetoric if an individual prefers it, but it's not right for anyone to tell any disabled person how they should refer to THEIR OWN disability, much less imply that a better way to discuss that disability is to label it something that it isn't.
And the meat eaters are the ones claiming we vegetarians & vegans harass them...The mind boggles...
I had to leave the vegetarian and vegan groups I was in on Facebook because EVERY. SINGLE. POST. was inundated with meat eaters posting pictures of dead animals I don't understand why people join groups just to harass the intended members. I was in the groups to get news about new veggie/vegan alternatives and recipes and stuff. The worst part? Facebook doesn't automatically hide most of the content posted. What drove me to leave finally was a gif inside a slaughterhouse that wasn't censored. Plus, I'm just tired of seeing the same exact thing said over and over and over again by the meat eaters. Just leave us alone
that's really disturbing. i'm not sure why facebook is such a negative place. it seems like there are trolls who just want to create chaos for the sake of chaos.
