Noted :( i wasn’t aware that language was currently being legislated around and i have always been very pro- both social and medical models of disability

all i meant to do was indicate how far acrid falcon had drifted from the conversation. the post and most discussion was consistently referring to i.e. depression and anxiety, so it was confusing for someone to come in and talk about an entirely different context of mental health

No worries, I've also become super sensitive to this ever since the discourse started spilling out into actual healthcare legislation here. Before it was easy to give people the benefit of the doubt, or to shrug it off as strangers online who don't know what they're talking about, but now I feel obligated to speak up just in case. Thanks for your understanding and for having a calm discussion about it.
