letterstoourdoctors: Friends, allies, everyone- pass it on! This is an important issue that needs to be talked about. I’ve heard so many horror stories about people’s experiences trying to get the help they NEED and DESERVE to live full,happy lives.I’m tired of hearing from my friends that they are being ridiculed,shamed, reduced to labels, mistreated, infantilized, dehumanized,tossed aside,negated, silenced, objectified, belittled,and ignored by the people who are supposed to care for and support them. I’m tired of a medical system that is more concerned with dishing out labels than alleviating suffering and empowering its patients.But mostly I’m pissed off that my loved ones are SILENCED and IGNORED. I’m fucking pissed that people tell them its in their head, shame them, and act like its not important. It’s fucking important, okay? Don’t be the person who takes people’s voices away; give them more opportunities to use it! It’s fucking ridiculous and we can’t pretend like this isn’t an issue any longer. We can’t shy away from addressing this because we are uncomfortable facing our own ableism. NO ONE IS FREE WHILE OTHERS ARE OPPRESSED. No more shame.Everyone’s story matter.PASS IT ON, FRIENDS! :) -- source link
