being infantilized and being demonized aren't mutually exclusive lol. people will do whichever is most expedient for them in the moment
sometimes infantilization can be materially violent, when it comes to systems like conservatorship and institutionalization. they aren't opposite poles; they work together to punish disabled people for existing
People saying they “thought this post was about” trans people or people of color and you know what? You’re right. Infantilization and demonization work together for all of us who are marginalized under capitalism
