FACTOR

HOW YOU COMMUNICATE MATTERS

A family of short messages for the Zero Toxic project focusing on how you communicate can affect other people's safety and stability

YOU ARE NOT SMART IF YOU INSULT A PERSON'S ABILITY OR TRIVIALISE THEIR EXISTENCE
A person's difficulties are not an amusement or a joke. So it is not acceptable to mock, ridicule makes a hilarious joke or laughs at their presence.

It is not amusing if you heckle, shout or threaten any person with difficulties, It's not a laughing matter

You do not have the right to approve or disapprove of a person's existence regardless of difficulties or disabilities. So don't disrespect their existence

YOU DON'T HAVE SMART ETHICS IF YOU CAUSE OR HARM A PERSON'S SAFETY
If you claim to have good communication skills you know no it's not sensible how to make dehumanising or the meaning languages
You know it is wrong to communicate to cause offence. Anyone knows it's not sensible to hate or cause physical harm.
As mentioned elsewhere, whether you like it or not a person with differences has the right to exist and function.
So stop bothering them, leave them alone and let them get on with their lives.

YOU ARE NOT WELL-ROUNDED IF YOU AUTOMATICALLY DISBELIEVE ANY PERSON WITH HIDDEN DIFFERENCES
Never make automatic presumptions against a person's experiences.
Have an open mind even if the points shared are not visually obvious straight away
Never judge their experiences as deluded as you are insulting their experiences and intelligence

NO SHAMING INTERACTIONS AND MISGUIDING
When communicating, you must not use a person's difficulties to make them feel shameful or exploit them or misguided them by causing disrupted to their interaction and mindset.
It is none of your business to judge how different a person may appear so keep your feelings and opinions to yourself
