Again- pls consider the implications of these Q’s. Everything in my tweets about methodology applies here to- this is in bad taste and if ur genuinely interested in extreme eugenics opinions - I really suggest not doing it in a public poll - the bias here makes any data worthless

+ honestly I get that you’re interested in people’s opinions- but is it really worth essentially tormenting the autistic people who feel pretty personally attacked by this? Just throwing that out there. I get the pursuit of truth and knowledge - but is it really worth the grief?

The only people who are truly benefiting from this discussion are cis white people, and you, and it doesn’t seem like you’re having all that fun of a time with it anymore anyway. What’s the point?

I'm not talking about autism in this poll. One extreme illness I had in mind that I was asking about was one that runs in my family, has killed some of my uncles, that might randomly kill my mom any day, and that I thankfully just tested negative for.

I didn’t say you were talking about autism - I said you were talking about eugenics which is a subject that hits different for a lot of autistic people. As another person pointed out - whatever particular condition you’re talking about doesn’t really matter

But what about my experience? I absolutely want a world where we can eliminate the genetic diseases that have hurt my family so much. Am I just supposed to shut up about this because other people might somehow interpret this negatively? No, that thought makes me angry

There’s a difference between sharing what you think and sharing your experience and opinions- and asking strangers to weigh in on whether or not disabled/ill/genetically different people should have kids. Or exist at all. That kinda stings for a lot of us

It's really hard to interpret this as a request for me to restrict my speech and questions not because of it directly, but because of associations people make to bad things. This is categorically not a persuasive reason, and agreeing to restrict seems like a dangerous precedent.

I’m not asking you to restrict your speech - I’m asking you to be cognizant of it and how it can effect others - I get the historical point but I’m not saying “don’t say this we don’t like it” I’m saying - this is problematic can you adjust how you’re talking about this.

Maybe part of the problem here is it looks like we're used to talking to extremely different audiences. My audience typically interprets what I say exactly as I mean it, without association problems. It sounds like yours has association problems

I personally want to continue talking for my audience and not yours, for both like... Reasons related to my value system and stuff.
