      Thank you for standing up for people with “unsightly” health issues. It’s so important. 🥺 You’re so cool. 🥰

        I know, probably, and I’m sure… I mean, I play into that stigma sometimes myself, in fact I was initially going to write that first comment as a parody of “Don’t Be a Sucker” – but I stopped for a moment and figured that I might as well take the initiative to point out the real stigma against adult diapers while I thought about it, because that stigma does affect a lot of people and that could very well include many of us some day.

        The problem is of course that it’s one of those stigmas where nobody really wants to challenge it precisely because it is so normalized, so bringing it up at all feels weird, forced, mood-killing, or even “suspicious”.
