we constantly are undermined and not listened to, even when it’s supposedly “our month”
i’ve seen so many issues of people being harassed after talking about accessibility needs they have and i’m sick of seeing it
there’s a serious issue of disabled ppl being ignored here 2/9

i am multiply disabled and as such often cannot make posts like these due to fatigue and focusing on my own mental and physical health rather than constantly asking to be acknowledged
please, non-disableds, do better !!
able-bodied people, do better !! 3/9

something i want to talk about as i can and i’ve seen this be a big issue in disabled spaces this month is the use of the words “cripple” and “crippling”
cripple is a SLUR for PHYSICALLY DISABLED PEOPLE ONLY !!!!!!
using terms like “crippling depression” speaks over 4/9

experiences that are unique to physically disabled people !!
i have major depressive disorder so i know that sometimes depression makes you unable to get out of bed, but there’s a HUGE difference between that and being unable to get out of bed due to pain/fatigue/dizziness 5/9

this one too !!
seen a few other disabled people talk about it on tl, but yeah i do wish more had been done for us this disability pride month. i’ve barely seen any non-disabled people talking about it at all. the small amount of support we’ve had has meant a lot. but there’s barely been any :/
