3		-I think that joining debate was one of the best decisions that I have ever made- after things like coming out or going to Lincoln High, it's high on that list. Debate is the only place where I really have a voice, and that's mostly because I am forced to have one- that I have to give speeches that people have to listen to, and this is the only way that I can communicate with others about my genuine beliefs about how the world works (all of my arguments are things I genuinely believe in- see the Concede CP here or my Islamophobia affirmative). I don't have that at home, or at school, but I do at debate, and I think that debate is incredibly meaingful.

5		-However, I think that debate has been corrupted by an assumption of the ability of all debaters to comprehend arguments that are spread- that it has become more and more ablenormative in that way. What I mean by this is that the flow has become even more important than the individuals in the debate, and I really genuinely think that the ballot is less important than genuine discussions about issues that plague us as a society, and discussion simply can't be had when we preclude certain bodies from entering, or remaining in, the debate space. That we need to be inclusive before we can consider the arguments made in a debate ... that we need people in debate before we can debate, if you get what I mean there.

7		-For that reason, I started debating against spreading as an "opt-in" system- hey, it can still be pretty educational, as long as both people agree, right? The thing is that, as I found out, it harms anyone from joining debate ... I was told this tournament that it was "an honest mistake" to consciously choose to ask the judge if spreading was okay, but not to ask the people that are being changed by the debate in itself (judges are, of course, formed by debate, but not to the extent of literal high schoolers). And, for that reason, I have chosen, as you can see below, that a rejection of spreading in the AC outright is preferable, because there are no accomodations that wouldn't be made in ill-will and poor intentions being met. What I mean by this is that enforcing an opt-in system simply doesn't provide enough accomodations for individuals with disabilities; at least, not to the level of an outright rejection of spreading and precluding certain bodies from debate.

9		-Also, this tournament I was told I was ableist because I speak softly- I have always spoken softly, if that is an issue please, during my speech, tell me to speak louder- it is not a conscious decision I make, it's just the way I've spoken for a few years. If you don't want to say it out-loud just catch my attention and I'll hopefully adapt.

11		-Not sure if there was really a point to the above rant, but if you'd like to talk about any of the issues I explain, add me on facebook or email me with my contact above (facebook preferred- and add me so I can see your messages, they go to another inbox otherwise) ~-~- I think the issues are really important. Or if you want to talk about memes and have a good time I think I'm OK at that.
