I don't know if this is old news or not and I have a bit of a messiah complex and don't know anybody offline I could ask.

I do not wish to purchase a fake plastic tooth mask and yes, this is a hill I am willing to die on.

This is my body. Bigots don't own it. If they're going to kill a Toofless and it happens to be me then I'm going to make as big a stink about it as I possibly can.

You are not your teeth. The tooth police is an army of freaks. Human bodies don't really look like that anyway and all those chemicals and whiteners smell bad and are terribly unhygenic so do what you have to do to stay safe but please don't internalize their bullshit.

Apparently this is an attack/blowback against this article in Everyday Feminism:

https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/imperfect-teeth/

that I just found out about. :(

I don't want already traumatized people getting hurt and wanted to give them a heads up. I was seriously going to mail the Everyday Feminism article to my ex-dentist when I accidentally mistook his hired goon's abusive behaviour for an innocent misunderstanding.

I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, nor do I claim to be. :(
