Context: Someone wrote a post about a reading of erotic poetry where they opined about how awkward and distasteful it would be for them to hear people the age of their parents read erotic poems.
I found this very upsetting and responded to that thread explaining why.
Hopefully they've removed that post. I can no longer see it. Though I guess it's possible they blocked me and that's why I can't see it. Either way, I'm removing the individual's name and instead just reposting my rant, which still needs saying.

Why does age matter here?? What does that change? I can see cringing at erotica at all, like some people object to PDA, but as you age you may realize there's far less difference than you think, and how outright inhumane it is (and I don't use that as hyperbole but as literal truth) to have older humans treated as something different than "regular" humans, made to live life separately and diminished in participatory privilege. If you think it differently offensive than race segregation, maybe think harder.
It is scary enough growing old without people treating you like the walking dead who need to stop participating in regular life and just sit by and watch available time pass, kept from doing anything by people who casually and without apology talk of it like "of course it must be thus".
It may seem like just words but such words form rock hard prisons in our society. Actual enforcement of such separation occurs exactly because people shamelessly call for it in this way. It would be in many cases more humane to offer people death with dignity than require they live on in such a world that sees and treats them this way.
It's hard to overstate how angry this makes me.

Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics should not prejudice medical diagnositics, and reserve their assumptions.
There’s a reason why the ‘Separation of duties’ exists in healthcare systems.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed a bill that will prevent insurance companies from raising the auto and home insurance rates of people just because their spouses have died.

#AgingInPlace is difficult.
#ElderlyRelative's #TileApp reports her credit card is astray in a restaurant some distance from home.Helpers keep getting timed out on website as they try to get a stop put on the credit card.
Phone call to #ANZ #Bank fails as the call centre worker's accent and low volume of speech makes communication with ElderlyRelative ineffective.#FailureToMakeReasonableAdjustment

Set yourself up as an advisor and consultant so everything you have to offer can be given to clients who will value you.
Oh, and throw away those bottles of hair dye. You won't be needing them anymore.
