Being an unperson is being treated as unable to make decisions. Unable to have opinions. Unable to want things.
Being an unperson is having people try to fix you. Having people try to make you human and whole.
Being an unperson is having people talk to a stereotype instead of you. It’s having people talk to your autism, or your depression or your Sad Feelings instead of you.
Being an unperson is people being convinced you have no internal motivation, and they must construct it for you, out of gummy bears and M and Ms.
Being an unperson is being treated as a problem to be fixed, behaviors to be modified, someone else’s woeful burden, someone else’s grand accomplishment.
