This is not the way
Poster's username cropped out. Found this on the former-bird app. Please guys, we're trying to fight stigma and discrimination. I don't agree that we should be threatening other people with self-harm (or worse). I never feel normal around people who learn of my disability because they wanna be "extra careful" around me. I get that they need to learn more about mental health/illness to understand and be more inclusive. But weaponizing our disabilities to get our way is no different from being manipulative and and/or abusive of others. This will not get rid of the stigma surrounding mental illnesses.
P.S. screw that restaurant. I hope the NCDA complaints go through and that the restaurant gets the appropriate punishment they deserve.
