That's fair but the point I was getting at is how much is effectiveness in the social marketplace compared to the mental health of the community
And on another issue is that its not actually helping that much materially.
Like going back to Unlivable Spaces (which you can fine easy by googling), all that social clout and awareness hasn't actually helped the level of trans violence that much.
It got anti-discrimination laws passed in regards to gender, but the actual value of those laws is minimal to the real lived experience.
And its not like you can't have the victim narrative share space with others, black people have both black power and police brutality as talking points after all. Trans people, outside of Stonewall, historically don't present pride alongside the suffering, just the suffering..
And for your example, for the more intelligent people with downs syndrome, how many of them are told on a constant basis that they are eternal victims and that everyone is out to kill them, and if so how does that effect them?
From my experience in the social work field, there is an understanding of them being off-putting which they struggle with, but the culture of being someone with Down's Syndrome is not affected negatively by the advocacy process, instead they get works like this.
