This article triggered the hell out of me. I’m a Mad, disabled, sometimes homeless drug user who’s been repeatedly victimized by other people’s paternalism. I’ve endured unfathomable trauma, including years of homelessness, familial abandonment, and psychiatric incarceration because well intentioned but misinformed people have decided who and what I am. I’m allowed to respond strongly, and to use whatever language I see fit, thanks.
