Some people could use some Insensitivity Training. Their sensitivities are a hazard to themselves and others. Not only do people with Multiple Sensitivities Disorder exhibit a huge range of symptoms, but the symptoms are contagious. Sensitivity to remarks about race, ethnicity, skin colour, gender identity, body weight and dis-ableism are catching. The afflicted suffer from self-appointed allyship with other Sensitive People and from an overwhelming urge to lodge Human Rights Complaints against anyone rational. Politicians and people in professional careers are particularly at risk from the Hypersensitiviy Disorder complaint industry.
Recognizing the threat which those with Hypersensitivity Disorder pose to themselves and others, the Government is funding an Institute For Insensitivity Training (IFIT) to help them get over their disorder.
The first graduates have shared positive experiences with the media:
"What a relief this program is," says one client. "My sensitivities were driving me crazy, but I've learned tools for becoming less of a snowflake and more of a hailstone."
"Yes," agreed another graduate, "I feel strong and bullet-like, and my career has taken off. At least, I'm about to think of maybe looking into working, and one day going off disability allowance."
"I'm thinking of going out without my publicly-funded Service Animal," said another client. "I'll wait for a good day, when my PTSD isn't flaring up and my horoscope doesn't show a Trigger-Forecast."
Some public figures (those fined for Insensitive Remarks Against Colleagues, Students, and Total Strangers) are cautiously optimistic about this program.
Others however object to IFIT as yet another example of privileged racialism. "We must continue to incentivize sensitivity," they argue, "if we want to reverse colonialist de-centering of the marginalized and the disproportionate promotion of level-headed, robust people to positions of responsibility."
