I don't want the support when I'm dead:
"I don't want the support when I'm dead"
- Sarah Wingfield
An uncomfortable truth: ostracism harms communities, it does not protect them.
The men, and those alongside them, who work so hard to exclude me locally are not helping the community, they are harming it. Bullying is not leadership. Exclusion is not strength. Abusing power to silence, isolate, or undermine someone does not make a community safer or healthier, it makes it smaller, colder, and more toxic.
Communities thrive through fairness, respect, and accountability, not through gatekeeping and intimidation. Anyone using their position to ostracise others should be honest about what they are really contributing: harm.

Screenshot of a social media comment by Sarah Wingfield. The profile header reads: “Actress | Director LTNE | Disability Advocate | Music …”. The comment expresses frustration about lack of local recognition, stating that despite significant achievements, men are often supported and published locally “just for existing.” It highlights the difficulty of gaining support as a disabled woman and emphasises wanting recognition and support now, not posthumously, in order to continue helping others.

A pastel floral quote graphic with soft pink, blue, and cream flowers framing the edges. In the centre, text reads: “A woman can be the most senior person in the room and still spend half the meeting proving she deserves to be there. That is not imposter syndrome. That is a culture problem.” The quote is credited to Abi Adamson, with a small “A” logo at the bottom.
