You claimed that I was saying.

"The argument "we are flawed and don't want to be what we are anyway, so don't have similar need to be free of unfair discrimination as other minorities" is imo flawed, and is also too narrow in consideration"

I said quite the opposite really. I never claimed that because we are ill we "don't have similar need to be free of unfair discrimination as other minorities". I feel quite strongly the opposite actually.
