No. I propose you change your username. From now on, I would like you to recognize my inner rutabaga. (Just a little levity, before I go...feel offended as you see fit but it's really a joke, though I should probably sway from rafters for daring to joke about such important matters.)
And it's OK, because I am absolutely unconvinced that you will understand that acceptance of differences does not just apply when it's something you like, or something you want to paint pretty, or something that seems lofty and lovely to you. It applies to everyone.
I don't expect anyone to be perfect on this matter, gourd knows I'm not, but I'm not calling a duck a bison here. Intolerance abounds.
In case there is still some misunderstanding, the matter of mental illness has touched my life (and yeah, not just my own) and the absolute refusal of some people to not tie a person's entire being up in the ribbons of disgust you've picked from the big picture is completely disingenuous and hypocritical.
And really, I'm so tired of it. So very fucking tired of the hypocrisy.
