The beautiful fucking irony is that he has all this "tolerance and acceptance" talk on his page, and "ALL ABLEISM WILL BE DELETED AND BANNED" stuff...

and he then discriminates against the able-bodied. It would be hilarious hypocrisy if it weren't so sad.

Exactly! Not all illnesses are visible!!!

I'm not seeing this "flagrant disrespect" he speaks of either. He'd have a case if there were able-bodied people posting a lot of shit against his disabled buddies but I just don't see it.

Yep, I don't see it either. :/

Also disappointed to see their out-of-the-blue post on this topic (it's not as if a particularly large number of mentally disabled people have been joining recently either). Added a comment confronting their behaviour, will be interesting to see if that gets deleted too.

Well yours didn't get deleted...but they are a little incompetent it seems.

Mental illnesses are categorized differently than physical illnesses.
If you have depression and go to the hospital, you don't get admitted into the trauma center. You don't sit next to the guy who just had his leg broken in a car accident.
You go to the mental ward. Because people with mental disorders need different treatment than people with physical disorders.

True. However, depression can AND will cause physical ailments.

The issue with this logic is you're confusing the cause and the effect.
The effects of depression on the body are nowhere near as debilitating as one with polio.
Having psychosomatic ailments from a mental disorder isn't a proper criteria for someone who has physical ailments from a physical disorder.

But the group name is chronically ill furs. Mental illnesses are a chronic illness! "A chronic disease is one lasting 3 months or more, by the definition of the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. Chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear."

Fair enough, but group in question is for those who suffer distress from their physical disorders. Not the other way around. Sure, you can have difficulties from your disorders. But they don't compare to someone with physical diseases since those are of a completely different source.

Just to throw the spanner in the works, I'll share my story.

I actually DID get rushed to the emergency room as a direct result of my depression (I have "physical" health issues too, but that's another story). Admittedly it was because I had attempted suicide, but there I was, in the same department as people spurting blood everywhere. It seems they do consider any attempt to self-harm as a medical emergency. I'm sure someone who tried to jump off a bridge but got talked down would still get rushed to hospital for assessment. For good reason too, because their continued existence clearly depends on getting treatment for depression.
