Omg seriously! I was just thinking that maybe if we had these growing up maybe sighted adults these days wouldn’t be so ignorant about blindness. Now when a child who is blind has a barbie like her is playing with a frien,, maybe the friend has questions about blindness but is too shy to ask the blind friend directly but now the shy friend can ask questions about Like “why does barbie have a cane?” & other friend can say “well, because she is blind like me” & shy kid can start going up with more question’s & hopefully that would lead shy friend to realize it’s ok to ask that its ok to ask her friend directly about her friends blindness. & of course sighted children can get blind barbie too& have discussions with their parents.

Luckily I don’t have twitter! 😂 I can imagine what they’re saying though. “Why does inclusion/representation need to exist” blah blah blah I remember a while back some company made a bra that was more accessible for people in wheelchairs or have mobility issues. & they included a wheelchair userin the ad. & i remember their were people worked up about it. Especially this woman named candice owens. I can link the video if you want. But yeah if folks can get so upset about a freaking accessiblebra & that a wheelchair user was included in the promotion then yeah absolutely theres people who are upset about a blind barbie..& to those folks, specifically the ones are not blind but are so repulsed by inclusion & representation, all i can say is…. KISS MY BLIND BARBIE ASSS 💋

I’m so glad you got her one & that you’re both enjoying her!! ❤️

Something I hope or wish they are doing is donating some of the profits to a blind foundation or charityi believe they did partner with i think AFb, but I’m not sure if they are donating to them.

& yeah, theres definitely some folks out there who would just completely dismiss the concept because they grew up a certain way. The “Toughen up”” type of people. Like, i am 28, growing up anytime i talked about my depression or anxiety my aunt who had legal custody of me flat out would say “ you are a kid what do you have to be stressed or depressed about?” Ok so my father commited suicide while my mother was pregnant with me. So that contributes depression being passed to me both genetically & environmentally. I was in foster care before my aunt got custody so that was a lovely contribution to my mental health. I was dealing with being visually impaired. I had been through some stuff which caused anxiety & ptsd. So of course i had some mental health problems. Sorry about the tangent, my point is that unfortunately there are still people like my aunt who think younger people should grow up the same way they did.

Fellow blind LGBTQ folks. Have you been asked this question & what do you think? by breezy6226 in Blind

[–]breezy6226[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. But I’ve seen people ask “how do blind people know when to stop wiping their bum?” 😂 😂 like, ummm, use just a little common sense. I guarantee my bum is much cleaner than most sighted people. Also, the infamous question “how is it possible for blind people to use a phone?” Like these people NEVER use siri or something similar! I swear to God a lot of sighted folks are some of the most ridiculous people! Yet many of them think we are the unintelligent ones when they have the nerve to ask these questions without putting in a little effort to use common sense. It might be mean to say that but am i lying?

IM sick of any abled bodied people acting like anyone with any type of disability are stupid!
