well that's the real question isn't it? honestly, it seems more than a little naive to even phrase it as being that simple.
the thing is that we aren't just talking about one person's choice here, we're talking about everyone they interact with in the world. is it right for any one person to demand that everyone else alter all of their behaviors in order to accommodate the issues and cater to the preferences of one individual? and if so, then how far is it reasonable to expect them to bend in order to do so?
and that's assuming just one person thinking only about their own personal issues and difficulties and demands; selfishly and shortsightedly ignoring the fact that there are a lot of other people in the world with a lot of other issues. when there are a thousand people needing a thousand different accommodations, what do you do? what happens when they contradict or are mutually exclusive? what happens when accommodating them requires you to compromise one something you value?
personally, i'm of the opinion that it's on all of us individually to take care of ourselves. i'm not without compassion for people with greater difficulties in life, but i've got enough problems in my own life, without keeping track of and accounting for everyone else's.
Endure. Adapt. Overcome.

Yes, that is a real cobalt blue tarantula. And yes, that is its natural color.
