Would you please link to this post? I can't read it because neither my text-to-speech software can read it to me, nor is my BeeLine reader able to alter the text to a more readable gradient.

Thanks! 😊

I'd tried highlighting the photo in hopes that my text-to-speech software would tell me if there were a link if not at least some alt-text, but it didn't tell me. (I have some vision, so a navigate with my eyes and read mostly with my ears, but I didn't see that it was click-through-able.)

And I so agree: that phrase has bothered me for ever. I never saw the difference between having a bleeding disorder (easy bruising) and being emotionally sensitive. They're both involuntary and they both are at the mercy of the rest of the world as to whether it'll be gentle with me.

This is no more than a subtler form of victim blaming!

Yeah!

And having had to deal with what I had to deal with earlier in life, don't I know it!
