Being near-sighted isn't an accident. It's a difference in perception. I might struggle to see things clearly at a distance while most people don't... But I can focus with extreme clarity within inches on things and see details with the naked eye which most people would miss.
This isn't "wrong" perception; just problematic because nobody had me in mind when they put up the street signs. "Unfortunate accident" is merely a negative point of view. Meanwhile, although we certainly do expect (and rightfully should) require the near-sighted adults to adjust their vision in order to make use of an infrastructure that wasn't designed for them... no such adjustments are possible for sexuality. Instead, the people who are near-sighted or far-sighted in selecting/pursuing a genetic match and creating the chemistry, etc. are perpetually in opposition to an enormous power structure comprised of... uh... "glass-half-full" types who, like yourself, are so absorbed in their own point of view as to seriously believe that the existence of difference in sightedness is incorrect. That's the "infrastructure" you want to adjust to. The lust for conformity via control, and vice/versa.... Sometimes the most apparently dominant thing is inferior in ways it's just too inferior to realize. It maintains power by means of oppression, whether or not it realizes that either. Anyway: diversity is life, not a defect. ~ R b l |
