Ataxia does NOT mean you are helpless and cannot do anything

In my server, someone joined it to share an ai generated "sketch" claiming they made it as a cure idea for FA. This offended me for two reasons.

  1. I despise AI but ESPECIALLY generative ai. Im an artist myself and to think some people claim just because someones disabled they cant make real art without ai is insulting.

  2. Ataxia is currently incureable. It can be managed, but we dont have the science to cure it completley or stop its progression.

Being disabled sucks, it does. But I can still do some things even if I have to be more careful than before. Im not made of glass. Im not broken. And NEITHER ARE YOU IF YOU HAVE ATAXIA. If I can make a 400+ frame animation with it, you can do a real sketch with a pencil. There are millions of disabled artists. Some of them dont even have hands. And they make things without ai.

Writing is hard? Type.

Speaking is hard? Speech Therapy is never shameful to attend.

Walking is hard? Canes. Walkers. WHEELCHAIRS.

Art is hard? PAY AN ARTIST OR FIGURE OUT HOW TO DRAW.

For reading my post you get some of my recent art.

I made a (adults only) Ataxia discord server.

I wanted to make a space for fellow people struggling with ataxia to meet and support each other! So we know that we arent alone, reply to this for an invite :3

I have PMOS (formerly PCOS) and its kinda gender euphoric?

So i dont know if this is normal, but I get masculine body hair from PMOS like chest hair and a happy trail. The other stuff like weight gain and brain fog is less cool, but those things make me happy to have it cause it feels like my body (mostly female) is presenting the way I feel on the inside, is this normal?
