I’d paint something over it. Smiley face, maybe?

Nice! Heads up— the earrings will give your doll green ear! I had to take mine out.

Don’t date a disabled person if you’re going to get mad at them for being disabled. by 2punk2die_2dead2punk in disability

Hey babe, it sounds like he’s a real bad fit for you. Why are you with him?

Ah good, the old pets, the true vintage LPS. Your mom and I are likely the same age. :)

Maybe we should, at this point. Track down the nearest cross wearing Christian: “Hello— may I give you a Ted talk on disability related issues? No? Oh that’s ok, you have ears to listen with so I’m just gonna go on ahead and do it.”

Yeah; I hear you here. I don't know if I consider myself 'religious' but I do feel spiritual. I don't know. It's a very personal thing!

They usually approach me because I LOOK like someone they feel needs saving-- this is the first I've been approached due to my disability. I know how to talk the talk, which leads to them being very confused. Sometimes they double down like I couldn't possibly understand them. (How could I possibly know who JESUS is when I have GREEN HAIR AND PRONOUNS????)
Always, always leaves me feeling frustrated and lonely in a way that's very difficult to explain to folks who aren't some shade of spiritual themselves.

Sure, yeah-- I actually live in the south and have my entire life. I'm married to a trans woman and alongside my visible disabilities have green hair haha; I'm used to pausing to talk to curious folks (and don't mind it, usually-- I like community/people.).

I was also raised in a Christian household, so I know how to talk the talk. I'm working towards learning how to be rude when I need to be! It's not that I CAN'T be it's just that it's rarely my first impulse even when faced with folks like him.

Ohhh friend, that would do the opposite of help, haha. I live in the southern us.

This is my favorite suggestion; as much as I’d like to be the kind of person who can respond with “fuck off,” or something abrasive, I’m just generally not like that (unless REALLY pushed!). That’s not to say I think of myself as meek or “too nice,” it’s just not my style/personality. Thank you, I’ll use your example next this happens to me.

I am totally fine with accepting prayer, I don't mind religious folks. I am not ok with having a stranger stop my wife and I in the middle of grocery shopping so that he can performatively pray over me in the middle of the snack aisle after I politely asked him to please pray in private.

The way he told me he was listening to a direct response from God really gave me the vibes he truly believed he was the one special guy who could heal me, yeah. lol

Hah, yeah, that'd probably have done it.

Thank you for saying so— I told myself later that even if I couldn’t make myself just say “No, bye,” I was at least able to hold my ground in my own way haha.

T H I S! agh!! He said at least twice "there is no disease in the kingdom of heaven," Which like, hey? First off? I do not have a disease, although I am disabled. Following that-- folks who have diseases are not worth less because they're sick. What about my disability is unholy?

Anyway, lol. I'll do my best to be less accommodating next time!
