>Its no longer stigmatized [since 20 years ago] Maybe I should have told the people slamming my back into hooks repeatedly that and they would have stopped. Or the people who refused to hire me. Or the people who refuse associate with me. Maybe you should tell the associates I have who accidentally let slurs slip out of their mouth with me right in front of them. Just look at the slang internet shitheads use. "Retard" and "Autist," are super common. Just because you're blind to the stigma out there doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Mental illness causes many problems and often the easiest way for somebody to deal with those problems is to not deal with the mentally ill person. Even if its not right. Stigma is practical. People in the developed world give a lot of lip service to how mental illness shouldn't be stigmatised I guess. I'm curious if you believe the developed world doesn't have sexism or racism anymore.
