Fibromyalgia sufferers here be like:

First time?

Girl boring guy quirky.

Can we just start calling him what he is, a hate speech absolutionist?

It’s probably a bot. Nothing they say makes any sense.

Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.

Are you the one guy who tries to walk up to corporate front desks with a resume and firm handshake, loudly asks for a job, only to realize how out of touch you are 3 after the receptionist tells you applications are all online now?

This is part of the problem of our current political climate. I don’t know how you can constitute ‘not bullying’ as ‘accepting them’, but the complete lack of nuance in every conversation is what drives radicalization.

You can’t ‘bully’ transphobes into being an ally. That’s not how people work.

I get it. Transphobes are pieces of shit with the most punchable faces. But when you find yourself staring down into one, you need to ask yourself if you are going say what feels good and right to you, or what will make them just a little less transphobic to the next trans person they meet.

Deradicalization doesn’t happen overnight. It may take transphobes a hundred, ten, or even just one trans person to show them undeserved kindness before they realize they were wrong.

I’m not saying it’s anyone’s job to do this. I’m saying that sometimes, maybe a trans person or an ally may be having a good day and find it in themselves to deal with transphobic bullshit just to show transphobes that they are the better person. If they do, I’m saying that we shouldn’t ruin all the progress and emotional labor they’ve invested in by bullying the transphobe.

Not saying it’s anyone’s job to do this, but bullying transphobes doesn’t deradicalize them.

I have autism, where’s my free power?

Minimizing human rights issues to further the cause for socioeconomic ones doesn’t make you an enlightened anticapitalist, it makes you ideologically pro-CCP.

Sticks: exist

People: Sorry it’s for boys only.

Christ you sound like an insufferable 10 year old with your ‘facts don’t care’. If you had actually read what you linked, you would have read the part where it specifies that the brain is what perceives pain even if it itself does not contain nociceptors. Claiming that the brain ‘does not feel pain’ is nothing more than semantic click bait.

As someone having lived years with unending pain and central sensitization, I find it hilarious someone telling me my brain ‘does not feel pain because it literally can’t’. Oh what I would give to be this healthy and naive again.

As someone with fibromyalgia, I have to disagree.

Could have been a moving story if it weren’t ruined by casual misogyny.

Jokes on you I’ve had fibromyalgia since my early 20s.

Anyone else here in the chronic pain club?

You’re either someone who forgot to put a /s or billionaire boot licker.

Imagine making sexism and homophobia your entire personality and world view, and then crying ‘wahhhhh!’ when everyone thinks you’re a steaming hot pile of diarrhea.

People without chronic pain be making their entire personalities about going outside and doing things painlessly. /s

FYI, ‘have you tried yoga?’ In chronic illness speak means ‘can I offer you unsolicited advice with the undertones of presuming that you have not tried to the best of your abilities to cure yourself of an incurable disease that has not even come close to be fully treatable?’

Not saying that’s what OP said, just saying thats how it comes off to most non-chronic illness sufferers.

I have IBS. Might as well ask us if we’ve tried yoga.

The bar is so low here that it’s clipping into the floor.
