Please, visit the site and use it to contact Rep. McCann and let her know that politicians can’t just do that. All you have to do is fill in your name and email address (though a postal address will help if you’re a constituent of hers).
Thank you, Tina. I wish I had had the balls to put this so clearly.
I am glad you did.
Bigotry should never pass unanswered, and it appears it is the turn of those labeled (against their will by the State, without reference to their own self-identity, as you note) to bear the brunt of a society’s scapegoating.
I wonder who will speak up for us, and who will stand idly by.
“It feels good to think that the efforts to make us compliant sparked, instead, a raw awareness and active defiance that has the potential to destroy the systems that tried so hard to destroy it.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
In the end, I think that is what will define us – not as victims, or even survivors, but as people forged through terrible experiences into agents of change in the world in the direction of justice for all.
I had my meeting with the State, and it was all excuses. I expect I’ll be at it a bunch longer — at least 10 days.

It’s a disgrace that this question even has to be asked. Worse that the answer is, in this world, sometimes so inobvious.
I’ve been known to go all Merchant of Venice, myself, in response to this kind of crap.
Things like this, Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, are why we call ourselves Psychiatric Survivors.
