Basically, we're using mental disorders, something people with disabilities have no control over, as negative connotations to describe the behaviors of TQ+.

k, so how would you propose we make the distinction between TRA behavior and other forms of mental illness?

Why is using disabilities as insults a good thing? It adds problems to my/their community. People already don't take ableism as seriously compared to other forms of discrimination.

The loudmouth of TQ+ are assholes, and ignorant but being an asshole doesn't automatically mean mental disorder. You don't have to reply on others mental illness and using those as an insult.

But they're the ones falling back on their mental illness as the cause and excuse for their behavior.

The post was deleted but I get that they're trying to use their mental illness as an excuse... The problem is, instead of singling these individuals out, this adds further stigmatization to mental illness which has shown to have negative impact as is. Especially since it causes shame and the people don't want to get help because they're gonna be associated with xyz.
