N9w 6ef9re any9ne says anything, and I kn9w several 9f y9u are already preparing t9 say s9mething, likely inv9lving the w9rds “adult,” “fang 6races,” “skill issue,” 9r s9me unimagina6ly lazy remark a69ut h9w I sh9uld have simply all9wed my teeth t9 c9ntinue arranging themselves acc9rding t9 whatever jagged little ide9l9gy they were apparently pursuing in my m9uth, I w9uld like t9 state that 9rth9d9ntic c9rrecti9n is n9t, in itself, childish. #Fang6racesMenti9n #AdultTr9llMenti9n #Please6eMature Yes, I am an adult tr9ll. Yes, I have fang 6races. Yes, they are visi6le when I speak, which, as many 9f y9u have frequently and unfairly 96served, is 9ften. #Visi6ilityMenti9n #SpeakingMenti9n #N9tAnInvitati9n I did n9t ch99se t9 6e 69rn with fangs that, 9ver time, 6egan t9 create a set 9f practical, dietary, s9cial, and frankly dignity-related c9mplicati9ns. I als9 did n9t ch99se f9r the c9rrective apparatus t9 make every meal int9 a small 96stacle c9urse designed 6y s9me9ne wh9 apparently hates texture, temperature, chewing, and the c9ncept 9f pleasure as it pertains t9 eating. #DentalHealth #F99dMenti9n #TextureMenti9n #ChewingMenti9n And 6ef9re any9ne accuses me 9f exaggerati9n, please understand that there is a very real difference 6etween “I cann9t eat certain f99ds c9nveniently” and “I have 6een functi9nally alienated fr9m 9ne 9f the m9st 6asic 69dily rituals 6y an 9ng9ing medical interventi9n that every9ne else insists 9n treating as c9smetic.” #N9tExaggerating #MedicalInterventi9n #69dilyRitual I am n9t saying this is the same as every 9ther disa6ility. That w9uld 6e reductive, 9ffensive, and exactly the s9rt 9f flattening c9mparis9n pe9ple make when they want sympathy with9ut d9ing any actual c9nceptual w9rk. #Disa6ilityMenti9n #N9Flattening #PleaseReadCarefully I am saying that when a c9nditi9n, 9r the treatment 9f a c9nditi9n, materially interferes with eating, speaking c9mf9rta6ly, pu6lic presentati9n, sens9ry regulati9n, and the a6ility t9 enj9y s9up with9ut c9nducting a p9st-meal excavati9n, perhaps it 6el9ngs s9mewhere in the 6r9ader c9nversati9n a69ut access and acc9mm9dati9n. #Acc9mm9dati9nMenti9n #Sens9ryRegulati9n #S9upMenti9n #Excavati9nMenti9n Als9, I am aware that “fang 6races” s9und whimsical t9 s9me 9f y9u. They are n9t whimsical. They are a little 6ar6ed menace in my m9uth. #N9tWhimsical #6ar6edMenaceMenti9n S9 if I decline hard candy, t9ugh meat, sticky c9nfecti9ns, 9r anything that appears t9 have 6een engineered specifically t9 6ec9me l9dged in c9rrective wiring until the end 9f hist9ry, please d9 n9t say I am 6eing difficult. #F99d69undary #CandyMenti9n #WiringMenti9n I am already 6eing difficult. Medically. #Clarificati9n #Fang6races #Please6eC9nsiderate
