Ableism against a bad person is still ableism.

“Why is this one any more believable than anything else she’s said?”
Because believing you’re qualified to judge someone’s health if you’re not their Doctor is crappy and inaccurate? This isn’t an isolated thing, the skepticism and invalidation is something that happens to disabled and chronically ill people every…

But it does tie in to abled people feeling like they are qualified to armchair judge someone else’s health needs. This is a widespread thing that happens all the time. They’re not, and you’re not.

Not every wheelchair user needs one all the time. This woman is shitty but there’s no need to contribute to an already pervasive trend of disabled people being accused of fakery by abled people who don't know their circumstances.

“I have been listening my whole life. Perhaps you haven’t been paying attention and need some time to make a coherent argument”

The show sucks, but minstrel show comparisons are not appropriate.

“has a mental illness”

That did happen in one of Anne Rice's books. It was... very detailed.

“we don’t have the same issues in our university campuses”

To people like him, I wonder: so if vaccines cause autism and we’re about to have a huge influx of autism caused by vaccines, why don’t we have a world of people with autism already? We’ve been living with vaccinations for multiple generations...

Trying to further pathologise Autism by making spurious observations is still shitty.

This is quibbling. Not absolutely necessary for you and other people like you doesn’t mean not absolutely necessary.

Disabled people exist, people with executive dysfunction exist.

No problem, thanks for being open to learning!

“a transgender person who identified as a woman” is a woman. There are heterosexual trans women, as orientation is not connected to gender.

Uh what’s with the passive aggressive [sic]? That’s the correct spelling in Australian (and some other variations of) English.

Uh, are you taking about the autistic spectrum? Because... no. None of the traits that this woman has displayed are associated with neurodivergence.

Nope, can we please stop armchair diagnosing bigots and shitty people?

To follow up, saying that the replication crisis in social sciences is due to the use of self-report data collection methods shows a complete lack of understanding of the crisis and its causes, which shows up in many fields.

Your food analogy is pretty apt, given that blanket criticising an entire cuisine and the people who make it in comparison to a cuisine you prefer is actually really rude.
