(38,050 posts)And got the same rationalization you are getting - the same also offered when being gay or trans is used as an insult. Calling on the homophobic, trans-hostile, ableist traits of the target of the insults simply confirms that those using such insults see those of us who are LGBTQ+, or wear diapers as the butts of jokes.
FWIW, I wore diapers for most of a year when I had fibroids that threatened to cause me to hemorrhage to death (I could never count on more than 5 minutes between trips to the bathroom before I started wearing them), my grandmother wore them for years before c. Diff (a major cause of diarrhea) took her life at 101. Both my spouse and my mother have urinary incontinence and wear incontinence pads.
Plenty of ways to insult Trump without being ableist about it.
