Dear people with disabilities,
I have a dream that everyone that has a disability will unite. We must unify for the betterment and safety of all. Silos of communication and intentional divides are regressive... a spoke in the wheel of any possible collective progress.
Separation is what is tearing the fabric of our country and communities apart. If any population can get behind a movement against disenfranchisement, oppression and discrimination; can't it be people with disabilities?
If you have a disability, but don't consider it a disability, it is not incumbent upon you to don the letter. Seriously, it's all good. We really don't need you to sully your reputations.
How many factions of disability are there? Each with groups within those categories. Let's tear down the walls of self and institutionalized segregation... from eachother.
So many of us suffer with dual or multiple diagnoses, but have to choose one to be, or mask, or focus on, or fight for. You definitely use your ace of spades disability to explain the trials, tribulations and obvious foibles, in one's shared experiences, to the demanding masses.
They insist upon you choosing a path. Pigean holing your persona, so that every one fits into neat, tiny little boxes that we can tattoo with numbers and ship off... out of sight, out of mind.
The end result of this, all the actions taken by this administration, the civil wars,eruptions of hate and violence everywhere, are that typically developing, gender conformed, straight, white, narcissistic men can feel clean while walking the streets they now own again.
And so I digress...
with one voice we stand a fighting chance in what's to come-
The blind and deaf communities- chilling like the cool kids in the corner... c'mon, y'all! L*z go!-
Infighting within the autism community needs to simmer. There's always a middle ground-
People living with severe mental health diagnoses(needs a new team name)- you can speak up too... hard to find a voice when taught to always question it-
Learning disabilities are disabilities too, btw-
Physical, developmental, intellectual- let's unite!-
And every other self segregated group in the lunch room-
let's connect and root from the most important foundational necessities. We must protect our citizens! We must protest benefits and healthcare being cut in every vulnerable population.
Self advocacy is our power
Anyone? Or is it just AI bots now on Facebook?
