So now we have a certified Serologic testing of Red Cross US blood donations to identify SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies, and that battery of testing shows widespread presence of SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies in donations made between December 2019-January 2020

Me: Made a thread about how people don't understand hyperacusis and give advice that obviously I've already tried.

This person only a few tweets into the thread:

I only tweeted this because, like it or not, this is the general population's reaction to me talking about hyperacusis.

Similar replies happened when there was the whole "not clapping" article regarding Cambridge.

They're so quick to label disabilities as not real disabilities.

It's important to remember this when people may ask why we've never talked about this before, or why it's not talked about a lot.

Most people don't talk about their hyperacusis because if they do, people respond like this. So most of the time, honestly it's easier to say nothing

Yes I am petty enough to add screenshots of this toxicity to this thread:

Asking for accessibility is "pathetic." /s : )

Our conscious experience exists. In fact, it's the only thing you can directly observe, as everything about reality and how we perceive it is filtered through how our brains process stimuli and information. You are the only one who can define who and what you are.

Don't get me wrong, I am a materialist who believes the universe exists in the absence of beings who can observe it from an intelligence standpoint, but we are all collections of atoms, our function governed by chemical processes, not perfectly replicated by the process of birth.

Our means of DNA replication is imprecise because of billions of years of random evolution. We are on one branch of many, and there is countless variation in how all living beings are formed, and how we classify traits of those creatures, including sex and reproduction methods.

It would be an error to say that people who are intersex and/or transgender are the results of mistakes or errors in reproduction, because it implies DNA is "trying" to create a binary model of people and sometimes gets it wrong. It doesn't "try" to do anything; DNA != conscious.

Rather, our biological blueprints are not precise, and this is true for all living things. We can crossbreed plants and animals because of that imprecise nature, it's responsible for what we perceive as the "races" of people, etc. We can observe variation everywhere.
