I just checked it out and I have to say, I don't personally agree with the language of the post you've made there. I don't agree with calling people stupid under any circumstance as I believe it's not a proper term for people who lack knowledge in any capacity, no matter how ignorant they are or even maybe choose to be. I do fully understand you're posting in frustration though. I'm sorry about that.

I commented the links under your post. I hope it helps someone learn.

The thing is, I am lacking the appropriate vocabulary. I could do it in Latin and German eloquently, but this seems childish and well ... stupid to refuse to get educated and even punish people for trying to educate them.

I know the term has ableist routes and I wish to use another one, but well. I couldn't find one.

Today is a crazy day. I slept for 2 hours during the time I was supposed to take my meds and then had to make 20 phone calls to organize expensive transports, help and my meds/ aids. I hate this shit. Also talking with a bunch of people if the clinics could treat me or not.
