Disability inclusion is the antithesis of the medical model of disability
If a “clinical” guild, seems to be offering a carrot
Look out for the stick
They trade on exclusion, segregation, gatekeeping & blaming exclusion on impairment
trade in “normal”

But Pell will continue to maintain his position, he is not a registered sex offender. He will have access to children. And the high court has lost the trust of a large number of people for playing mental gymnastics over the definition of "reasonable doubt".

If that’s the case why did you add “pretty weak statement” at the end of your question?
Why don’t people even look up who Dr Westerman is before they go attacking her based on assumptions?
Why do they not actually read what Dr Westerman’s been saying about Ms Prices comments?

Aggressive? In 140 characters or less? that's quite impressive.

I tend to reserve the word for.. eg. six male nurses grabbing me & covering me in bruises as they drag me face down to a bed, throw me on it, pull my pants down and forcibly administer a drug that

To those who take drugs to handle distress, highlighting and probing into the corruption behind the pseudo-science of those drugs, the dependence they cause, the withdrawal, the fact that 'chemical imbalance' was a bogus hypthesis and fighting for other options isn't shaming you.

Ummm Palestine is a whole area dude. It’s not a pro-Hamas rally.
It’s a rally to support innocent people being mowed down in crimes against humanity/genocide

The "low serotonin" hype is misleading - because it's not just about "serotonin levels" it's about functional neural circuits that may or may not use serotonin as the neurotransmitter to communicate between cells.
SSRIs artificially restrict reuptake of serotonin

Why are we now reframing "mental health" as "productivity" and "functionality"?
For the same reasons we now talk about "economy" instead of "society"?
When I was growing up we didn't judge the quality of life & relationships by the rate of production at work 🙄

Many survivours of MH systems have reported medicalisation of their distress was harmful & counterproductive.
Identifying with medical constructs thus carries a risk profile that is extremely personal, it's extremely personal choice how to construct or understand real distress
