Place bets now if literally any of these conditions are diagnosed by a doctor.

Seriously. Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 3 is so commonly faked because it's considered rare.

I have a friend who actually has EDS and was diagnosed by a doctor over a decade ago after testing and examination. One of her complaints was that it was hard to find other people with her condition because it was so rare. Fast forward to 2022 and every attention seeker suddenly has it and it’s an excuse not to work. (For the record, said friend has never had a problem holding a job.)

Yeah, I was diagnosed with it as a few years before it exploded in popularity. You're right, though, type 3 is no excuse to not work. Some of the other types which are even rarer are pretty brutal, though.

I’m sorry to hear that. EDS is rough as hell. It sucks that narcissists are trying to take away from those who are actually having to live with it.

Yeah, the faking is annoying. I generally avoid people who have it in their social media bios and online support groups. I've come to hate terms like "EDS warrior" and "zebra" for the same reason.

Hope your friend is doing well.

Edit: By the way, thanks for answering my question about Judaism in the other thread.

my gender is Queer as I'm both Intersex and Gender Non-Conforming

Neither of those relate to gender identity (or same-sex attraction). How do they make you ✨queer✨?

Queer now just means anything which they want to be considered as abnormal even if the thing is completely normal.

Remember to use "differently-abled"... unless you're competing in the oppression olympics

The "New" one. That about says it all, don't it? Navel-gaze away.

This is what happens when kids are never told " STFU and get on with it" whenever they whined about some trivial bullshit that their fragile brains couldn't handle. We end up with someone whose brain is filled with bullshit salad which went rotten some time ago.
