That’s because they care more they were bullied in the past than about your feelings.
People appropriating your disability to excuse their bullying has led to what is effectively PTSD dealing with the groups whose voice was appropriated.
That’s sad — and has impacted not only disabled people, but race and gender relations.
I miss 10-20 years ago, when people were people rather than defined by protected class.
Amen. Its sad, and there seems to be nothing we can do about it. To a degree, I am used to being treated in a condescending way. This is just a level up, the worst kind: "I know better how you should be treated then you because you are to simple to know what I already know."
