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?

Oh, sure, this is absolutely true. For example, there's lots of reasons people might have difficulty tying their shoes - maybe they're on psychedelics, or maybe they have parkinson's disease. This is why I provided more context and examples in my original tweet.

I've been warned you talk a lot of eugenics to get attention to yourself.. so.. I don't think I want to spend my spoons on someone like you.

A lot of people dismiss what I say as attempting to get attention, but this legitimately isn't my intent. I have autism and came from a weird/culturally isolated background and have figured out my brain works differently from most people, and they often misinterpret my intent.

I start tons of debates on my timeline about a huge variety of things, most of them totally accidental.
