Why be unkind?

Bowyn Aerrow Wrote:After being hit by a car I'm afraid of cars on the street. I think we shall ban them all. I see a car racing at 25 miles per hour down the street and my heart starts pounding - it goes any faster than that I am immediately taken back to the moment when a car slammed into me.... Maybe we should just reset the global speed limit to 15 miles per hour, I can handle cars traveling that fast....

But lets be fair to all of the other people who have had a bad experience with an automobile and just ban cars. I have a phobia.

Phobia:

noun
a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.

(Red = my emphasis)

Irrational:

adjective
1. without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason.
2. without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.
3. not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical: irrational arguments.


(Red = my emphasis again)

If you have a problem with the word 'queer' then you need to take that up with a therapist who will, if they are any good, give you tools to deal with your 'issues'.

You have a phobia of the word queer, it is irrational fear that is compelling you to avoid it. You are presuming that everyone else must share your take on the word and stop using it. that is irrational, unrealistic and borders on tyranny. You propose censorship, censorship is bad - very bad.

Again, get you a therapist and work through the issues. Trust me there are plenty of tools that a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can learn in order to take the sting out off all aspects of it.

Been there, done that and am doing that... I know from experience the severity of emotions, I also know that a therapist is the best way to 'deal with' it.

I don't have a phobia. If you bothered to read my responses at all, you would see I acknowledge that I have a disability, and am in therapy for it. What I am asking for is the same equal access all other disabled people are legally due.
Asking a website to censor a slur is a reasonable accomodation for somebody with my condition. I have talked to lawyers about this. We disabled have free lawyers working for us. I don't want to have to sue more people over this. I won against my local college. They are not allowed to have a LGBTQ group, it is now LGBT. I didn't like doing that. I don't want to sue more people. In that instance the individuals in the group refused to listen to me so I had to take it to court. I would rather avoid that in future. So now, I try a lot harder to ask for understanding and compassion rather than just walk in and tell everybody what they have to do by law. Should I ignore restraint?
Your idea of bannings cars would not be a reasonabl accomodation for your disability, if you had one wich you neglected to state in you exagerated straw-man example.
