If it lowers your social status, and can be treated, it's treatable condition.
I'm sure if blackness could be treated, it would be consider an illness.
I don't think it's just social status. I'm thinking of Ashley X as an example of this - her size and reproductive status don't seem to have anything to do with her social standing.
Who? Is that a member here we're all supposed to be aware of?
I'm assuming it's this Ashley X, who I hadn't heard of before a cursory Google search.
Yep, sorry, I'd assumed that'd made the news outside the disability activism arena. My bad.
It did, but outside the disability activism area is itself a very large space that different people will be familiar with different parts of. There is no common culture; it's almost surprising the extent to which we (think we) can even talk to each other.
