Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage

Hilarious. Ha ha ha. As if.

Society was already hostile towards the disabled. Just wait to see how much worse it’s going to get.

I’m not looking forward to it.

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

Rules

Be excellent to each other
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.
