Yes, do what you want
I know you're not a stupid person, so I'll let this post go as acting
It's applying your own justifications to another case you may not support the same. You've defended that the person gets to decide their own mitigations and accommodations -- regardless of science or facts about the environment. You've ignored that a doctor's note, can be had without really any true requirement for the accommodation. You've defended any challenge to those above points as simply saying 'its their choice'. Ok... put all those together and you can see how your position is anyone should get anything they want.. and maybe just if they have a doctors note behind it.
- You put blind faith in a doctor's note... you chose to ignore that the accommodation in the doctor's note doesn't actually mitigate sun exposure at WDW.
- You chose to ignore that skin cancer patients are not actually kept indoors as part of their ongoing lifestyle post diagnosis...
- You chose to ignore that a person's greatest exposure to the sun at WDW is not actually in the queues...
- You chose to ignore the reality that if someone is that sensitive that all of the above is actually too extreme for a patient's individual circumstances... that maybe visiting a part of the world known for it's brutal sun exposure probably isn't in their best interest.
And it's true... I've had nearly a decade of actual diabilitating back issues.. issues that started over 20 years ago. I've have had to take months off of work and go on disability while I recover from major back surgeries. To this day, I still have limitations and struggle with it. So if I ask my doctor to write me a note.. they would. But know what... its my issue and I adjust my lifestyle, including my vacations, as necessary.
People with this allergy died from the result of others. Like the kid just a couple months ago who was assured that the sandwich his friend made him contained no peanut products, but it did and he died. It doesn't take much to be a little considerate for others.
You obviously are being defensive over this peanut allergy because of your personal involvement. But that doesn't really have much to do with what you hounded me for with regards to skin cancer. I didn't bring peanut butter up.
People with allergies are responsible for their own isolation from their instigators. The only way to truly accommodate your fears is to ban all peanut based products from sale and consumption in the region. Beyond that, it's on the impacted person to be diligent and responsible. The burden on others is to be accurate and truthful in their representation - not necessarily perform the isolation for them.
If you think others should perform the isolation for them, why don't you think the same protections should be there for someone who has extreme lung or immune deficiencies? Should it be law that all public places increase their air quality standards to a medical grade level so that those with those afflictions can travel freely without being responsible for their own interactions and where they put themselves? Should it be law that anyone with the slightest illness be kept out of schools to avoid hurting someone else who may not know they have an immune deficiency?
Peanuts were banned because it's an easy (relative) thing to eliminate without little to no additional cost. It was a simple accommodation -- but the mindset is what has been corrupted and abused and now extrapolated to obscene lengths. Now its no longer an accommodation, it's a requirement that everyone adapt to fit a special case. Now people use that ban as a stepping stone to the next blanket accommodations that should be made because of similar pretenses. This leads to a change in responsibilities and expectations. No longer is it 'I can't be around XYZ' - it's 'its your responsibility to keep XYZ away from me'
And if I was going to give you a "flynnibus" response I'd say, if you took more responsibility for yourself, maybe you wouldn't have diabetes. But then again, I wouldn't say that for a multitude of reasons, the least of which is being properly informed about your specific condition before a decided to give you a condescending remark.
And the fact that saying that would expose your ignorance of the cause of diabetes.. but I guess that's neither here nor there. Truth is... I am responsible for maintaining my own health and what I eat or not -- not everyone else. If there is no meal available at a location suitable for my needs... I go somewhere else or bring my own food. The burden to feed myself is ON ME - not others. The burden for others is allow me to eat my own food if there is nothing they are offering that is suitable -- not require everyone provide me with food that meets my diet requirements.
