But then: don't the X-Men's moving away from humanity further perpetuate the attitudes that might contribute to the already biased system? I mean, economic bargaining is nice but I've heard many a person who enjoys Chinese-made products...basically say things about the people I'd rather not repeat. It doesn't really challenge perceptions on its' own? Like, bad humans yelled "Get out!" enough and...they did. So, they won? And they feel incentivised now to hold protest rallies whenever any mutant steps on 'human' land? Those voices win? Much like how a victory for Brexit over here has given strength to bigots who want anyone 'not British' out?
But that's the thing; we were both disabled? Just very, very differently disabled? I was the able-bodied one while he was the neuro-typical one? That's why I ask these questions, you see, it feels like a bit of a contradiction in itself? That's still technically punching down, even within the same sort of community? (Different communities, sure, because ya know. Different disabilities. He was so manipulative though; had me second-guessing everything about myself until my sense of worth was nothing. He was very much like Moira, actually, in how he asserted that his way was correct because 'he'd seen more.' Had the friggin' charisma of Magneto though, so, ya know. Ya believed him.) I still think I might have had more privilege than him, in a way?
