Imagine if society ruthlessly bullied people with glasses, or constantly second-guessed them like, "What do you MEAN you need glasses? I can see JUST FINE" while holding bad-faith debates that Optometrists shouldn't be allowed to assess children.

We'd probably be hearing all about "people who wear glasses have worse quality of life" or "people who are allowed to wear glasses try to kill themselves more"

And then we'd constantly see comments in these threads like, "*actually* studies show that wearing glasses is correlated with getting punched, why should we ALLOW people to do that to themselves?"

Or, "People can do what they want, but if you're GOING to wear glasses, you're going to get punched, which is your fault...because you chose to need glasses."

I’ve said that to my dad when he argues that being gay is a choice. Why would someone CHOOSE to be hated, targeted, assaulted, murdered, denied legal protections and rights, and be under/misrepresented by all media? Because they get to dress up once a year at pride parades?? It’s just sooooo fucking stupid.
