“grippy socks” is such a fascinating phenomenon because its the result of desiring the validation of being in the most stigmatized group they might believably be able to put in their bios, while simultaneously buying so thoroughly into that very same stigma that they cant bring themselves to say it. they can stomach “grippy socks” and play nice with those whose lives look like their own, but make no mistake, they do not identify with most mentally disabled people, just mentally ill labels. the only patient they had sympathy for in girl interrupted was the protagonist. there is no solidarity. they would call the cops on you
