    But it’s not a vital nor precious resource. It’s just tangable and limited. I think that’s the disconnect.

      I’m sorry, are you trying to argue that spoons aren’t a vital, nor precious, resource for disabled people? Because I disagree vehemently. Please go and read Christine Miserandino’s original post:

        I did, and the point was about general translation.

          You know what, nevermind, I’m done wasting my spoons arguing this point with people in this thread.

              The fact you can’t respect that I ran out of spoons for arguing the point, kind of just proves my point that you don’t understand the term, doesn’t it?

                  Here I am, after sleeping and recovering some spoons. That are precious, that I still don’t want to waste on changing your mind, when you’re clearly not willing to understand.

                    Sorry Norah, I somehow completely missed these reports. Have removed the comments and have flagged the user as potentially ableist meaning any more dodgy behaviour and I’ll know it’s repeated behaviour -> ban.

                    I think your reports didn’t federate to my main account @FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone so I only got them when I logged into this dead alt — weird.

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other

  2. Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc

  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

  4. No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.

  5. No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.

Did your post/comment get removed? Before arguing with moderators consider that the goal of this community is to provide a safe space for people suffering from chronic illness. Moderation may be heavy handed at times. If you don’t like that, find or create another community that prioritises something else.
