Dude my “unacceptable urges” include dealing nonsexual violence to abusive parents and tankies, they don’t include raping children I’m attracted toDon’t need “support” like that lol please and thanks

So let me see if I have this right anon.

You think people who have the urge to rape children shouldn’t receive therapy and community support to control their behavior and stop them from offending?

You think people who have the urge to rape children should be isolated and left alone to spiral out until they break and give in to their intrusive urges?

That’s what you’re saying?

And it’s not like alternatives to showers are very viable. Most apartments don’t have baths (at least in my area) and baths are largely more expensive than showers, both in the cost of the amenity and the fact that baths use more water than showers do. And disability accessible showers can also cost a fair amount

Being disabled is fucking expensive and it’s an evil of the world that that is the case.

Showering was, and usually still is a nice end to the day. But man, my back now is so fucked up from falling down the stairs 4 times and also twice accidentally jumping into the rocky shore when I meant to jump into the deep end of the river. It’s becoming increasingly more common that it hurts to stand up the entire time in the shower and I have to sit down.

Getting banged up like that sucks, anon. I hope you have, or get a shower chair for yourself. We’re looking into the same, as this is becoming increasingly common for us too.

See, what physically abled people don’t tell you about showering (not maliciously, they just don’t have any reason to think about it), is that showering–esspecially showering standing up– is physical exercise.

Think about it. It’s standing up for between 3-10 minutes, ideally in a hot area, flailing your limbs repeatedly and stretching to reach difficult areas.

‘You’re too exhausted to shower?“

Yeah man, I am too tired to do five minutes of jumping jacks and stretches, thanks for understanding.

Anyway I got that shower in. 🙏
