While people are (rightly) angry about the new hate speech guidelines on meta apps, please take care not to other #disabled/#mad folks. Many of us are also #queer

"Mental illness allegations" are always ableist, in addition to being homophobic/transphobic when based on sexuality/gender.

Disabled people continue to be institutionalised and denied agency in the world. Radical politics need to include disabled and mad folks, and abolitionist politics need to include psych abolition.

@LucyG

Reclaimed term referring to users or survivors of mental health services. Wiki has a reasonably good summary here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_pride if you're interested :)
