#1in200 — Public Fediverse posts

Time for my annual colourblindness toot.

6th September is Colour Blindness Awareness day. I am colourblind. Always have been. Always will be.

Some facts
- Colourblind people _can_see colours. We struggle to distinguish them consistently.
- It's more accurately Colour Vision Deficiency but most people know it as colour blindness
- It's a chromosomal anomaly that is hereditary[1]
- #1in12 people with XY chromosomes are colourblind
- #1in200 people with XX are colourblind
- 30000 babies are born colourblind in the UK every year
- being colourblind affects education, work and living. It's not life threatening but it is overlooked and thus can be disruptive to one's life
- it is estimated that at least 1 child in every classroom is colourblind

I've written this blog post to explain more and how you can help those of us with colour vision deficiencies. https://www.crimperman.org/creating/colourblind/

Feel free to boost, or not, but please do consider how you might be excluding CVD people without realising it. At work, school and in life. We are your consumers, customers and fellow humans and there are 300million of us.

If you can't see anything but dots here, you might have CVD.

[1] very rarely it can develop as part of other conditions but mostly it's passed on from the parent(s)

Ah yes, we've entered the night are time of year for me where every..single..company decides to add a "Christmas" feel to their ads and material. e.g. red and green.

AKA the time when those of us who with #colourVisionDeficiency just...can't...read any of it and in extreme cases like mine get headaches from the constant barrage of it. Such a joyous time!

Stories from living with #colourblindness for #ColourBlindAwarenessDay

This is my last one. I've had it rough but for kids today I think it's worse. Colour is used everywhere in teaching and the tech uses for it. Seems to be little thought given to including colourblind kids.
I've been posting this lot because, after 50 odd years I honestly think it should be better not worse.

I shouldn't be surprised given the way ppl with known disabilities are excluded but it still sucks.

[1] v.rarely it's a side effect of another condition

I have colour vision deficiency, often mistakenly called colour blindness (I can see colours).

If you are like me you might struggle to see anything but dots here

For several years I've written help guides for employers and colleagues on including people like me but I've never written anything publicly.

Until now.
