The movement and broader conversation promised to be about more than just Britney, but there has been no outcry while conservatorships and other involuntary programs are being radically expanded.
The simple fact is that a conservatorship is a legal tool that can be weaponized against anyone a lawyer can convince a judge is mentally ill, for the purposes of exploitation. The belief that the mentally ill *should* be treated that way is why “people who are not really disabled” can also be treated that way in the name of ableism.
Lets not leave out the exploding prevalence of PwME or "neurasthenia"/a broken Krebs cycle and neurovascular impairment from long COVID out of this eugenicist shitshow too. 😑
