I mean... We do sometimes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For example I have ADHD, autism and BPD.

When people talk about "LGBTQ+ people have mental illness" they don't mean any of that.

They mean "being LGBTQ+ is a mental illness, and these people first need to be attempted to be cured, if that fails then need to be removed from society".

I thought it's widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the body with the mind or the mind with the body.

Okay 🤷‍♂️

The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.
