its basically hell to be masking/invisible disability in this society because people bring up eugenics and ableism in small talk nowadays. its to the point where i think i will openly reveal my medical status to everybody i come across so that i will be spared of hearing about how they think people with disabilities dont deserve to live


i went 2 bed thinking of this post bc yeah its like theres some sickeningly blasé social darwinist rhetoric rhat gets passed around. on the other hand ik a lot of comrades w chronic illnesses/debilitating physical conditions also have valid feelings about their condition and the ethicality of reproduction with the risks that you pass on something like that to ur kids. w neurological disabilities i think its different but yeah i can understand the spectrum of feelings. to be clear im against any sort of forced sterilization (no duh) but i don’t like moralist arguments and i think gene therapy for in utero is fair enough and maybe that could be a solution that doesnt compromise autonomy of disabled/ill individuals to procreate. in a perfect world i guess we would have cures to most physical ailments, whereas neurodiversity wouldn’t be punished since that isn’t actually really harming the person and some other noble thoughts i cannot articulate because i dont know how
