#masking is a traumatic experience in its own rite. it's awful covering up an essential part of you and having to learn who you actually are
Text
You don't want to be more ill or more visibly ill. You want it to be easier
#m/cc#mine#also 'I wish I couldn't mask then I'd be taken seriously'#the reason you mask is that people who can't mask *are treated worse*#masking is a traumatic experience in its own rite. it's awful covering up an essential part of you and having to learn who you actually are#but being unable to mask IS NOT A PRIVILEGE IN ANY WAY#the tags are a lot more venty than the actual post and the post itself is not meant to sound aggressive#but I'm just. STOP saying you want to be more visibly disabled or visibly divergent#you won't be magically accepted and unquestioned and accommodated for if your disability is visible#and I'd like you to think about: if not masking would lead to better treatment#why do people try to mask?#'because it was bullied into me.' so you were treated worse when you didn't mask?#people who can't mask didn't get a sign that said 'I can't help it' and become bullying exempt I promise you
