i just heard a psychiatrist say on the radio that “patients in psychiatric hospitals are treated with humanity and kindness”. like we’re not completely dehumanized. like they don’t let a man yell and kick the walls for the entire night because he’s anxious when he’s alone. like one of my friends didn’t get raped when she was hospitalized. by a NURSE. like they didn’t put a young female patient i was friends with in a terrifying closed room with handcuffs and a 92 years old woman with dementia because i told the staff she had received rape threats. meanwhile, the rapist? the guy who constanlty touched us without our consent? the guy who said homophobic horrors to me? they just let him stay in his comfortable room, with a good bed, and an open door. 

but yes. tell me about how humane and empathetic you are in psychiatric structures, “doctor”.
