It’s been a big year for gender and pronouns at my house and I’m proud to announce I’ve had a daughter all along! Be kind to your kids.

Your perspectives as always progress and lift up not only those closest to you, but resounds through the world through your posts. My respect and awe and inspiration grow for you the more I read your sharing and wisdom. Thank you Erin. You are a noble soul. 🫒

Aww, thank you Molly! That’s very kind of you to say. ♥️

It's so refreshing after years of vitriol. Also, your challenge to the word disability caused me to flip my script. Instead of taking away words, how about altering meaning via signs and symbols such as wheelchair. But for weight gain/loss of 135 lbs I was "invisible" for 50 yrs.

I totally get it. I've basically been three disabilities in a trench coat this whole time.

This is very much part of my motivation to reshape how bias and ablism cripple everyone, even physicians who, through negligence, misdiagnosis, mistreatment and worse rarely if ever own their b.s. Iatrogenic disease is 80% of my issues. Profit not people is not health or care.

Absolutely agree. Apparently I have a terrifying list of issues, so it's hard to get one here to treat me because there's no financial incentive beyond anyone else. I just found a new one online and sent in my application with a cover letter about how nice and easy I am.
