yes, or the parents who are like 'you don't understand, I CHANGE DIAPERS' Um.. okay? Or the seclusion teachers who are like 'I CHANGE DIAPERS'.. Cool, cool. Like, they're so freakishly obsessed.

I just don't understand why it's that big a deal to people. I've done that and it's just perfectly normal and fine. If somebody needs support you support them and move on with your day. But I keep hearing people talk as if it was the most psychologically scarring thing ever

I think it's because it's a useful, common measuring thing. For example, one measuring thing for psychedelic intensity is "tying your shoe". It's not cause tying a shoe is especially meaningful, but because everybody does it and requires a concrete, repeatable series of tasks.

"Going to the bathroom" is an easier way to get a general grasp on the level of care that's needed, because it's a very regular thing, people have incentive not to have help for it (privacy norms), and there's a clear understanding of what tasks are required.

But, people with bathroom support needs have a huge and varied number of reasons for NEEDING bathroom support. What about people who are in accidents, and then need it later in life? Or have muscular dystrophy? Kill them later on?

I think it's a nice try at an excuse, but honestly, it's just more ableist trope that ableds fear so much that harms the disabled community.

It's true a lot of people don't have sympathy or care for disabled people. It's also true that disabled people are hugely varied with a wide variety of capabilities or care needs. It's also true a small fraction of disabled people need extreme care to survive.

Anybody who thinks it's even an acceptable yes/no poll question.. is a trash human who's ableist af. It's not okay to suggest yes as an answer for eugenics, EVER.

If you discover your fetus in the womb has a significant genetic defect which will lead to poor quality of life and severe handicaps in function, do you find it to be unacceptable to suggest abortion?
Again?? If it is absolute death at the beginning of their birth or nothing but extreme pain for a short time, I am more inclined to agree. But I’m starting to think no because of the fact that this was not the question, but you’re using this to excuse your point about murder.
