I didn’t say that their identity meant they had a disability, that was you.
I don’t consider mental health problems to be a disability, and I don’t consider trans people to have mental health problems because of their identity.
You used an ableist slur on your friend. You called them a n*rcissist. You implied that being fictionkin is a result of narcissism.
Personality disorders can influence the manner in which kintypes present themselves, as I well know, for I am an otherkin with NPD. I disagree with you that being fictionkin is a result of narcissism, but I agree that in this particular case, the princess’s NPD has influenced the kind of kintype.
That isn’t what I said or tried to imply, and now I understand why you managed to take entirely the wrong messages from She-Ra
Well yes, you said narcisit, but I figured you misspellled the slur. What were you trying to say?
Why do you think that narcisicist is a slur, and not a descriptor?
I was describing a person who I knew, as an example of why I was not going to respect the self-description of people who have a poor relationship with reality.
I also said they were stupid. Which there were. Is that also a slur?
The word n*rcissist is a shortened form of a disability, turned into a personal label. It’s like r*tard or sp*rg.
Regardless of authorial intent, the use of that derogatory label is inseparable from ableism because using the slur emboldens and covers for ableists. At best it’s a dogwhistle.
I assumed you meant it in relation to the disability because you brought up the idea of an identity being caused by a disability.
Except that narcissism isn’t a disability

And yet narcissists make up a large proportion of the most “wealthy and successful” segments of modern society … ergo, not a disability.
