Happy Disability Pride Month!
The Disability Zebra for the Pride Animal series is finally here! I designed this all the way back in March, and thanks to everyone's feedback, I was able to narrow it down! This will never be perfect, but I've gotten a lot of love and joy from myself and disabled friends seeing this little guy :-]
You can get this guy on Redbubble! For local conventions, I'll be selling this as stickers with the gray outline!
Fun Fact! Zebras are also used as a symbol to represent rare diseases! This is based on the quote "When you hear the sound of hooves, think horses, not zebras." In regards to what doctors should consider when diagnosing a patient. This ends up with many disabled people not getting the right diagnosis, being ignored, or their conditions not being researched enough. All this because something is considered "rare", when in fact people with these disabilities are still large in number, diagnosed or not- a lot of disabled people even feel that their diagnoses may even be more common than we think. Because of this, the animal has been embraced by what doctors may call "medical zebras", now being used to represent many different disabilities considered "rare" such as Ehler's Danlos Syndrome, CACP Syndrome, and many more!
If you are disabled or know someone who is disabled, this pride animal is for you! If you are or know someone who is considered a "medical zebra", I hope this zebra brings you joy!
