Hey I never said I was trying to force society to accept the diapers we like. Quite the opposite here. I am trying to get society to where if/when they find out about it then their reactions aren't negative or outright hostile to us- ie. equality.
That sounds like you are trying to force it to me XD. I mean, I come across people who are extremely negative about the whole transgender thing even within our own community we have people who are like that. We can't force them not to be negative about it. What they don't agree with is up to them. As long as they are not opressing you, or treating you unequal ... then there isn't anything you can do about it, unless you want to restrict what they think. Which then we are getting in the realm of thought police.
Equality doesn't mean everyone has to be nice to you or be ok with something you do. Now if violence occurs or they are denying you your rights, that is another matter entirely.
And how many true stories have you seen just here alone when an AB or DL literally was oppressed by being punished, or even physically abused, simply because they liked wearing a diaper.
Ya, I am one of them. I don't know if I would call that oppression though. It's not like society is doing that, it's shitty people that are doing that. The only thing you can do is make it agaisnt the law, and child abuse IS already against the law.
Or when the medial gets a hold of a DL story and we are once again ostracised for it.
Again, there isn't anything you can do about that. When you allow free speech in society, you just have to deal with the haters ... or move somewhere else where they don't allow free speech.
I have been called all sort of things for being transgender. It's not like the LGBT movement stopped that from occuring. We still get hated on plenty. Even if you had a movement like the LGBT movement, it's not going to stop that from occuring.
So yeah, we are oppressed in every sense of the word (look the word up if you need to).
I know what the word means. You are talking about being "oppressed" by specific people which still occurs for the LGBT community as well and you are not going to stop it from occuring. The portions that can be enforced are already against the law. There are already laws in place to prevent abuse and such. Being treated poorly, as in through words ... you can't do anything about that (Though mental child abuse I am pretty sure is a thing, so even that is covered). Sorry, but it's time to grow a thicker skin because that is your only solution in a society that has free speech. The LGBT community didn't rise up because of name calling, or people hurting are poor wittle feewings. It was done because we where being denied equal rights by the government, by jobs, etc. Do you not understand the difference?
If we are talking about the oppression you are talking about than ... just about everyone in society is oppressed in some form by some other people. o.o It's sort of a thing that tends to occur when you live with other people who all have different views on things.
You can try to ignore this all you want, but that doesn't make it any less real. Now sure our level of oppression is nowhere near as bad as it was with gays and lesbians, but again it is undeniably there.
Yes, it's there for everyone ... your point? Not all oppression that exists in society is so bad that it's worth fighting for XD. I have been "oppressed" because I liek Nickelback ... do you think I should go outside and raise hell about it? Or do you think I should just lean to Q-TIP like a mature adult?
And I've said this many times now too. If you have any other or better ideas to overcome this, then I'm all ears for it.
I do .. it's called ignoring it. It's called calling the authorities when laws are being broken. Sadly there is only so much we can do. What you want is something that is simpyl never going to occur. You maybe able to raise acceptance .. and that is a big maybe. But you are not going to be able to stop all these things from occuring. Oppression will continue to happen, and honestly .. it doesn't happen enough in this community for you to raise hell about it. Most people here keep this shit private.
I was one of the people who got thrown out for being an AB/DL ... but you know what ... I know how to face reality and I know that no amount of raising awareness would have change my situation. I could have called the authorities. I could have reported the abuse I went thorugh with my family. But I didn't, and there was no way for anyone to know, other than for me to tell them. There quite literally is nothing you can do about this. But if you want to go parading aorund in a diaper to try and raise awareness ... then go ahead. Be my guest. I will not be joining you.
Till then, this IS the only and closest to best solution ANYONE has come up with to date. Give us a better solution with an actual chance of succeeding, and I'll drop this one faster than you can.
There isn't a solution. Not unless you want to place cameras in every home and remove privacy and create a very authoritarian society. Trying to raise awareness can also backfire, because you will undoubtly end up with radicals who go to far. Your movement will becomes exactly what the feminist movement has become today, because they are fighting agiasnt indeivudal people because they already have equal rights. So in your hope to make things better, you can make things worse for yourself and others.
Or at the very least, could you please explain if you do not want to be part of the solution, then why are you so actively trying to be part of the problem by keeping the status quo here.
Because the status quo isn't as bad as you make it out to be. I don't see any reason to fix what is already not a big problem.
You want to go after parents who abuse their children ... fine, but that doesn't just happen to AB/DLs ... that happens to many many children. We already have thigns in palce to try and prevent it, but again, unless we begin throwing privacy out the window ... there isn't anything we can do ... unless the child tells us or we have suspicion that it's occuring.
