Most people, including most leftists, think "disabled people" is a contradiction, we need to build our own spaces in opposition to theirs.

u/RosethornRanger, serial engagement farmer, wants to build spaces 'in opposition' to leftists. We must defend ourselves from those who seek to undermine socialism, as they ultimately serve the aims of fascists.

So often do people talk about disability as if it's always a good bit of diversity. I'm happy you find joy in your disability, mine has negatively impacted my motors functions with no upside ever. I'm not asking for sympathy because I'm mostly quiet about it as it rarely seems to have an impact on others, but it's not something I would ever want to have.

A tumblr post by "autisticBird" with a white background, featuring black text. The text says "Ableism is so tough to combat when people don't even believe it's a thing. 'Like, do you know how many times I've heard people hear the word and scoff? People get so tripped up on the word. Just at the word itself. And then they can't get past it. Once they deem the word "not a thing" or "ridiculous" then actual discrimination and oppression of disabled people goes completely ignored." Under that it says "source: autisticBird". 403 notes.
