    2. Just because some folks don't know the science behind our bodies' struggles to metabolise chemicals, doesn't mean the science doesn't exist. Toxicology 101. Take some biochemistry while you're at it.

    1. The chemical industry calls itself the chemical industry. Chemical warfare also uses chemical as its chosen adjective without those same folks jumping up and down about it.

    When folks with talk about chemicals, there's always other folks trying to dismiss us with "science", saying that everything is made of chemicals, therefore we can't claim that chemicals make us sick, and there's no science to our illness/disability

    The burden of proof some people seem to require before stirring themselves to action is extraordinary, and all it ends up proving is you simply don't recognise "different' people as human beings, or else their suffering is not worth alleviating at the cost of your comfort.

    It was only when the penny dropped decades later that I looked back and realised I'd been sensitive to perfumed products etc since childhood. I often wonder how many kids suffer in their perfumed, AirWicked, Lynxed, MorningFreshed, Omoed homes and classrooms.

    When I was a kid, around 9 I guess, I noticed that when I washed the dishes I'd suddenly be almost overcome with a feeling that life was bleak and futile. It occurred to me at the time that maybe the drudgery of washing dishes caused everyone to feel this.

    I literally had a women tell me today that my disability (multiple chemical sensitivity) was an inconvenience for others. Sorry, I enjoy breathing. I'll try harder not to need lungs. Chemical cleaners are easy to switch out, but let's pick on straws.

    That connection through the written word reduces isolation. You can use writing and the writing community to reduce isolation. Diversity is a beautiful thing that enriches all of us: Michelle Roger

    Words can be positive or negative depending on the context. The authority needs to come from the people they affect.

    Accessibility tip from Michelle Roger : In your hashtags, capitalise each word. It makes it easy for screen readers - otherwise it'll be picked up as gobbledegook.

    Skeptical Conservative family member told me today: “If these people are *actually* outraged by children being separated, why don’t they donate to relief—“ “My writing community has raised nearly $100k for them in less than a day.” “.... oh. Well, uh, good.” CARRY ON, KIDLIT.
