#physicallydisabled

Put this bullshit on my Geordi disability post, which is educating ablebodied people of how not to write disability in their stories so that they're not being ableist.

= == =

kind of a fan of tumblr’s slightly more algorithmically elements for reminding me of the hell’s other people construct for themselves but this one hits like five of the boxes. How do people do this to themselves? it’s such a bizarre way to act over media I genuinely do not believe is capable of stirring an emotional response the metaphysics of disability here are unintentionally really funny but disability is not a coherent ontological framework, it’s a vague descriptor for literally thousands of different things none of which lend themselves to categorizing Moralizing over fiction is incredibly lame.

Liking harry potter is also incredibly lame, it’s not morally wrong nor transphobic and you do not get to decide that lol. people literally do get "cured” of their disabilities all the time, many of them have a positive experience in doing so. this is not what eugenics is.

the anti abortion stuff lol

Also notice how me saying "eugenics is bad" get translated in this person's head as "lol you're anti abortion". which is not what I said even remotely, but bigots don't actually care about facts, or the people they're pretending to care about.

If you don't understand the difference between disabled people pointing out eugenics and people being anti abortion, then you are not equipped to be part of either conversation.

its okay to feel hatred

its okay to feel anger

its okay to feel like theyre the lucky ones
