CW: CN ableism, Kathleen Stock article, pointy rant, 2/2
(continued)
Joint hypermobility I know less about, but that isn't "non-specific" either. It can be evaluated, even if sometimes cases are missed.
Fibro & ME/CFS, okay you can't fully evaluate those without listening to people, which Stock presumably is dismissing as a method, but nonetheless they have recognisable shapes. For example, which painkillers do or don't work, which activities make you feel better or worse. _And_ research has begun to identify signs at cellular level.
I am quite vexed about this article, and worried for the young people in families where the parents read this stuff. Chivvying people to disregard fatigue symptoms can be very harmful, because going outside your pacing limits can set back healing and make you worse long-term.
I note that KS never mentions post-exertional malaise (PEM). Has she ever heard of it I wonder? Maybe she thinks PEM is "social contagion" as well. Maybe she left it out so that readers couldn't look it up and be given the "contagion" of knowing about it?
Anyway, if it hadn't been Stock it would've been someone else I suppose. Fully on-brand for the present-day push to make a case for nobody deserving benefits money.

CW: CN ableism, Kathleen Stock article, pointy rant, 1/2
Kathleen Stock thinks young women's use of walking sticks might be due to "social contagion", according to her recent Times column.
My first thought was: _if_ it's true there are more young people using sticks nowadays, maybe they
a) have Long Covid
b) are less ableist on average than previous generations, so they don't mind using mobility aids if one would be helpful.
Then I looked up the actual article,
(https://archive.ph/uNwyn if you must)and sure enough, she says
"When you dig into their explanations, a few officially medical-sounding words tend to recur: postural tachycardia, joint hypermobility, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue."
Postural tachycardia and chronic fatigue are classic Long Covid symptoms, so nothing _there_ to contradict my theory.
She goes on,
"What these syndromes all share is a set of non-specific symptoms, versions of which are familiar to all of us: dizziness, a racing heart, exhaustion, brain fog, muscle pain."Yes, but if you know anything about it, you know that the everyday versions are significantly different from the disability versions. That's why we give the disability versions different names.
It's also very odd to refer to postural tachycardia as having "non-specific" symptoms, when it's literally measurable in numbers.
Anyone who feels worse when they stand up or sit up, here's a test you can do at home, if you're well enough to stand for 10 minutes:

(Edited to add: if you _can't_ stand for 10 mins, or if it's risky because you might faint, look into "tilt table test".)Also, the fact is, among people with Long Covid, women are significantly more likely than men to have postural tachycardia syndrome in the mix:
"We prospectively analyzed 467 nonhospitalized, highly symptomatic (sick leave ≥50%) patients with long COVID, and studied differences in demographics and clinical assessment outcomes between those diagnosed with POTS and the remaining long COVID patients. Patients with POTS were younger (mean age, 40.0 versus 44.0 versus 47.0 years, respectively; P≤0.001) and predominantly female (91%)."

#BridgetPhillipson, Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities & #ArifAhmed, perhaps a rabid libertarian atheist? and Director for Freedom of Speech and Academic Freedom at the Office for Students seem like regular little bundles of joy who'd be at home in a fascist Britain.
Loving the, "You must do academic freedom the way you're told to do academic freedom" goose-stepping.

The #KathleenStock question is whether it's "I told you so, she was never really a feminist" or a story of radicalisation (make friends with the far right because they share your position on one issue, and after a while you realise you like some of their other ideas too).

I'd given up listening to #BBC #WATO a long time ago because every time I tuned in there'd inevitably be some transphobic nonsense or another.
I thought I'd tune in today on the offchance there wasn't… and, sure enough, within literally seconds, someone defending #KathleenStock.

#KathleenStock's entire position turns on the notion that self-identification "threatens a secure understanding of the concept 'lesbian'" Saying that many trans-women are "still males with male genitalia, and many are still sexually attracted to females"
Why does this matter to ANYONE other than those engaged with consent?
Other than that assault upon anyone is a crime.
Reactionary and Stupid Stock.

"Kathleen Stock says she is a ‘moderate’ as protests planned over Oxford debate"
Stock has a right to upset anyone she pleases. As for being "moderate", Stock has shown herself to be anything but.
This is not a free-speech issue. The idea that Stock and others like her are martyrs is laughable.
