My Classmate Said That Blind People Can't Be In Science Because They "can't Read Graphs." I Responded

My classmate said that blind people can't be in science because they "can't read graphs." I responded with "disabled people can be scientists, besides that's what alt text is for." She replied with "well, okay, but they can't be in forestry [our field], that would be too hard for a disabled person." I then countered with the fact that I am disabled and am succeeding (and while I didn't point it out, I am receiving higher grades than she is, and I have had to tutor her). She said that it's different for me, and when I asked how so, she didn't reply.

Disabled scientists exist and we are successful!

Ok tell me this people, how do I explain to people that being infantilized is really disrespectful and upsetting? Every time I try everyone tells me "how is looking young for your age is not a compliment?" And I can't tell them it's not the same as infantilization and the latter actually feels very demeaning.

A few days ago I came across a video that really resonated with me and I can’t find it but what was said is stuck in my head.

“My whole personality was being smart and then one day I wasn’t ”

I was always just the smart and nerdy kid and after the pandemic, and everything else that happened to me, I ended up failing exam after exam. And with that title of smart being gone I’ve come to realise I never developed an actual personality.

my mom didn't believe in lying to children so when I first asked about santa claus as a small child she was like "oh santa claus is another name for a man named saint nicholas who lived a long time ago. he was a very kind and generous man and he loved giving people presents and he would do things like put presents in people's stockings when they were hung up to dry by the fire, so they would find them and be surprised. so now when we give presents at christmas it's fun to pretend saint nicholas or 'santa claus' brings them. and we hang up stockings by the fire and when we get up in the morning there are presents in them, just like if saint nicholas was still alive to bring them!"

so that thanksgiving one of my uncles said jovially "so mac, are you being good for santa claus?" and little (not quite three year old) mac looked up and raised an eyebrow and said witheringly "he's dead."
