when are people gonna stop making posts pretending anyone cares about people with physical illnesses and physical disabilities? like why do people keep making these physical vs. mental illness posts where they construct this fantasy land where people care about physically ill and/or disabled people *so much* and the world is just made for anyone with a physical disability or illness, and people are so kind and understanding when we know that’s not the case? and why even reinforce the dichotomy when a lot of people have both and they can be connected in ways like!????!

I’ve just been reading people freaking out at Target in the US no longer labeling their toys “girls” and “boys”. A fairly common response is something like “How will I know what to get my granddaughter for her birthday if I don’t know which are the girl’s toys?” Hmm, well, what does your granddaughter like? Maybe you could actually get to know her and find out what her interests are rather than treating her as a generic representative of her assigned gender. Just a thought.
