it’s britney bitch

Everytime Britney does something cool I want you to remember that she literally has like no power: that she’s a marginalized group herself (disabled) and was poor in her life, and exploited for wealth; her conservatorship is worth someone who abused her himself and she literally controls NOTHING. Not her money, not when she can see her kids, not her medical choices, not even marriage or like, visitors in her own home.

When Britney says stuff like this it’s a huge deal and extremely brave.

@dollarperfetus @transliquidsnake could you share your source for this? I’d like to read more, I’d never heard that she doesn’t control her wealth before

She’s been under a conservatorship since her 2007 breakdown. If you dont know what conservatorships are, it’s basically you are placed in custody of someone as though you were a child, you don’t control much of anything. Seriously, it’s major but seldom talked about disability civil rights issue, not just for Britney but she’s often used as a prime example of how a good intended system goes wrong.

Usually there’s two people involved, the one who has the conservatorship (Britney’s father currently) and a lawyer to act as like checks and balances, tries to make sure her human rights aren’t being glaringly violated, or she’s being exploited. Well… her Lawyer was kind of forced out so. Checks and balances are kind of diddly squat now, as they usually are. She’s at the mercy of her father and is desperately trying to get rid of it.

For those who don’t know, too, Britney’s parents were always horrendously abusive, but most officiated information on that is on her mother’s abuse, not her father. But it’s been obvious for a while that he absolutely took part in exploiting her as a child.

This is what the #freebritney was about earlier in 2019.

Brit’s conservatorship is kept very private which is a good and bad thing because it means people aren’t going to humiliate her in the media, but also means that she’s kind of on her own. Some fans go too far with the freebritney which from what I’m guessing from how her sister responds to those people, only causes more problems for her rather than helps.

The source in those screenshots is here, not my favorite source, but it explains it pretty well with the knowledge we 100% have
