geekhyena:thischroniclife:jezunya:helioscentrifuge:mudkiphat:marxisforbros:“There’s a cure?!” asked the girl that kills everything she touches. “Hey shut up we’re perf” replied the girl that makes clouds. For real though. Storm has stopped an entire tsunami before. “Makes clouds my ass” she can conjure lightning and tornadoes and is revered as a god in her tribe. She literally changes atmospheric pressure and that’s how she flies. So fuck you. Storm is flawless.I think you missed the part where the GIRL WHO KILLS EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES wants to NOT KILL EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES and everyone dismisses her incredible misfortune just because the lady who is the AVATAR OF THE STORM won the fucking SUPERPOWER LOTTERYAnd here we see X-Men perfectly illustrating the disparity between the larger disability community (Storm) and the chronic illness community (Rogue). One wants society to accept & respect them & their various different needs, which is surely a noble cause, while the other would like to NOT BE IN PAIN EVERY FUCKING DAY, which is just as important but often gets shouted down by non-ill disabled people who only want to talk about disability as a social construct.And then there’s the intersection (idk what X-character that person would be) who’s got both, and who would like more acceptance and support, but also for things to be less fucking painful and work FFS.I like being autistic. I wish that people were more accepting. BUT GODDAMN, I’D TRADE A TIT FOR FINE MOTOR CONTROL THAT WORKS. -_- (Well, I’d trade a cup size or two)Good metaphor, though!This, really. I don’t know if it’s intersection or what, but it’s hard for me to know how to feel about being autistic when I’m really sick of all my senses being sensitive to a degree that’s constantly uncomfortable. -- source link
