that's really the extent of what I wanted to say.
it's been a while since I've done one of these extended threads where I lay out all my thoughts as I'm processing them.

what it comes down to for me is that it's a medical decision an individual should be able to make for themselves with informed consent.
the rhetoric you use when talking about it, however, is important.

I am, of course, all about bodily autonomy, but disabled people are constant witnesses to conversations happening in public about how lives like theirs are a mistake.
I understand why they would be drawn in by people who they think would protect them.

that's why it really clicked with me when Crutches & Spice was talking about how a lot of disabled people end up falling in with the pro-life crowd because they see the way that many liberals/leftists talk about them.

they find this to be very uncomfortable. they "wouldn't want to live" if they were me. how could anyone, after all?
but that's the canyon between their understanding and mine: I have been through those feelings. I am in this situation whether I like it or not. I'm still a human being.

but they're viewing it through the lens of their own life experience. they're living a life that is so different from mine, and they can't even conceive of what it took to get here.
they just see my daily reality and think of how horrible it would be to be me.

even when it comes to more sympathetic parties... people who don't outright say those in my position don't deserve to live... they tend to be confused when they know even surface-level details of my life and then see that, even in the depth of my suffering, I still want to live.

and it primarily comes back to these two things:
1. how they conceptualize value.
2. what they believe is a life "worth" living.

it still feels like I'm not meant to be here sometimes, but that is more a reflection of the external messaging I get from the world on a systemic and cultural level than my own beliefs.
most people don't treat my life like it has *any* value.

if you'd asked me maybe even half a year ago, when I was still in the midst of confronting the totality and finality of my old life's destruction, then I might've felt differently.
I've definitely had times where I felt my life was worthless.
there was so much change so quickly.

instead, I sent them pictures of the daily supplies I use, birds I used to see, my cat Daphne, the lamp by my bedside, the Boosts I drink every day...
these were things that felt more representative of the person who is actually living today.
