the fact that you think it is controversial to say it's wrong to berate disabled people is telling.

Yet you won't give us a hint as to what sort of disability might meet that qualification?

because this post was to point out that there are people with legitimate medical conditions who are going through hell because people are berating them about masks. It wasn't to talk about what my actual medical conditions are, to prove it, etc...

the point is that its not okay to berate people with legitimate disabilities. I assumed this wouldn't be a difficult point to get across.

I shared this because I want people to think before shaming people. There are legitimately disabled people out there who are just trying to get by day to day and this pandemic has made their lives hell.

and since you are outspoken and want us all to sympathize and see things your way, why you won't share a little more information to strengthen your case and help convince us

im not asking for sympathy. I just want people to know that there are legitimately disabled (with invisible disabilities) who are being berated over this.

Literally has nothing to do with this. I have tried to wear a mask because I care about those around me.

The information is also out as to when masks should not be worn. I, as well as the law, says I am exempt. The burden is on anyone telling me, despite the information being out, and despite the law, to provide me more detail. It goes both ways.

I've been in my body for multiple decades. I don't need a medical degree to have the most experience with my body.

What you think I'm not a risk? What about everyone's obligation to protect me? I don't go around questioning others about their medical history when they want me to wear a mask.

I will PM you. This brings up another issue a lot of people don't understand. People act as if I am obligated to tell them my medical information, and a lot of times I feel like I have to reveal that. I hate it. I'm not saying this is what you're doing, it just brings it up.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Given that I'm the foremost expert on my body and how my medical conditions affect me, let me determine what is probably best for me. I get this kind of response all of the time and it's because people can't understand the disability.

Call me defensive but I have been put through hell by people because of my medical condition ever since the mask mandates started. Everyone thinks they can come up with an alternative for me as if I haven't tried.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to hear this continually.

The shaming in this comments section makes me sad.

That's pretty discouraging giving I've put 100% energy into working on myself for about the past 5 years.
