@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 I know intimately what the local regulations are
My interest in this area derives from being a survivor of having been harmed
The reason we needed to negotiate international treaty relates to entrenched predjudice in existing legal systems & social beliefs

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 I have worked both formally and informally in community representation, among other primary stakeholders, in trying to negotiate changes in the law
I am acutely aware of the power imbalances, with one side profiting from deliberately seeding prejudice

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 I have come back to this @DickieRAnderson
With serious concern, after sleeping on it.
If you are doctor, why concealed your identity?
I would like to write to your professional body to find out if refusing to speak to people who mention CRPD standard

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 I know that it was common, about 3-4 years ago, when I called chief psychiatrists' offices to ask how we should move forward on the light of the guidance that equal recognition under law, means the end of non-consensual "involuntary" they got very angry

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 But, that was before two royal commissions, and general public started to hear our stories about what our understanding of our neuro-divergence was & how we were treated by psychiatry & their inappropriate reasons for claiming we were "dangerous"

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 It is always bullying to threaten people with withdrawal of service, call them names, or even say you won't speak to them unless they refuse to stop talking about their rights to be treated as full equal citizens. Especially when current law is unjust

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 service policy often states "we welcome your feedback to improve our service"
But I spend more time writing to government departments about way they punish me for feedback
So if you are a doc
Could you explain how to change this culture problem please?

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 This tweet, also
come back to with even greater concern.
two things I spend most time having to raise complaints of are punishment of service withdrawal, or punishment of alleging lack of insight for raising concerns of opposition to substantive equality

@DickieRAnderson @FalteringlyOn @DrDJWilde @TheCenterGroun1 Having succeeded against overwhelming intergenerational prejudice & securing recognition of formal human rights body just 7-8 years ago that we deserve equality how can we get it if those supposed to help implement say talking about it is lack of insight?
