Do not leave us out of your activism. Do not leave the disabled out of your activism, we are not an afterthought.
The intersection of ableism and racism is deadly.

I have so many questions. https://www.instagram.com/p/BybqboonfAa/?igshid=dqjm8r4rrkp5
The gods did not breathe the breath of life into us and give us gifts of a shape, a will, and a voice just so we could pay bills and die.
Goosebumps. I love this band. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6NjYJHZkg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10jql03clt3bv

My god I love her.
I know people are gonna get salty af about this but by God she’s RIGHT.
When Brad Pitt did Fight Club, he was cutting weight for every single scene to maintain his physique at 155. I’ve you’ve ever cut weight, you know how horrible that must have been. He did it because they needed a “look”.
Changing Tatum said his Magic Mike body doesn’t last for more than five days. He starved down and dehydrated his already fit physique for a “look”.
The male soldiers on Spartacus: Blood and Sand were eating pretty much chicken and veggies for every meal to maintain a “look”.
Why is this such a big deal? Because all these characters are considered physical goals for men. These are actual unobtainable physical standards for men. Male body image issues get swept under the rug so often that some people don’t even think they exist.
You want proof? Just check out that scene in Captain America: First Avenger where Cap just transformed into that beautiful beefcake of a man. Agent Carter’s actress just HAD to touch them muscles, it was completely unscripted.
Chris Evans had to wear shirts so small they physically hurt, and he dislocated a shoulder during the helicopter scene in Civil War. But who cares, girls got to wet their panties watching Captain America flex.
If we are talking about unrealistic physical standards of male fitness given to us by movies, I would like to mention Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman here.
Yeah, he is ripped, isn’t he?
Well, it is true, but to get that kind of definition, he went through 36 hour period of dehydration, which caused him to temporarily lose 10 pounds of “water weight”.
Thus during the fight scene he was filming, he was a hair breadth from blacking out whole time, just to look unrealistically muscular.
As he said during interview with Steven Colbert, “If You go three days without water, You will die. Then, when You are halfway there they shout ‘Roll it!”
It’s the same with professional bodybuilders who get into periods of extreme fasting and dehydration to lower their fat-to-muscle ratio to inhuman levels, all in hopes of making their muscle definition a bit better.
According to experts, healthy body fat percentage for a healthy male ranges from 8% to 20%, depending on height, lifestyle and numerous other variables.
Fitness model and professional bodybuilder Helmut Strebl also known as “World’s Most Shredded Man” as he supposedly managed to get his body fat percentage below 5%…
… But only when he partakes in competitions, since it is not humanly possible to live with such low fat percentage of one’s body for longer periods of time.
I mean, yeah, he keeps a draconian training regime, as well as a very strict diet even off-season, but looks much more human then…
There are documented cases of incredibly fit and muscular bodybuilders fainting on the stage in the middle of their flexing routines, as well as several who outright died, because of cardiac arrest caused by their blood becoming too thick, due to long dehydration…
And let’s not forget about Muscle Dysmorphia, colloquially known as “Megarexia” or “Bigarexia”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_dysmorphia
Yeah, it’s a thing, but it’s barely talked about, since it’s apparently not manly to admit to having problems like that, which also creates problems with researching this particular disorder…
So… Thanks Hollywood?
I had no idea that most people who looked like this are dehydrated until I read posts like this.
dehydrated to the point theyre about a day away from actual organ failure okay so chris hemsworth is a absolute god of a man, but hollywood says ‘thats not good enough’ and for the thor movie he has to spend several days having the juice squeezed from his body untill he looses about a gallon of whats supposed to be him so that he can do 2 days of shooting scenes without his shirt, after which he has to have recovery time before he is hospitalized because i am not joking about ‘one day away from organ failure’ thats the benchmark- look at chris hemsworth and process that he is told he isnt suitable for a shirtless scene without prepping for three days and nearly fainting
real feminism acknowledges the unhealthy standards that men are held to. radfems brush them off as non-existent
guys, feminism is for you, too. it’s for all of us.
well then whats the fucking point

Dear Well-Meaning Abled People Who Genuinely Want to Help Disabled People
It’s really simple. ASK.
ASK if we need help, and accept it if we say no.
ASK permission before touching our bodies, mobility aids, or possessions.
ASK what kind of help we actually need, and listen.
Nine times out of ten, when someone gets butthurt because they were “Just trying to heeeelp” and I got upset, it’s because they didn’t ask first and they did something like:
- “helped” in a way that actually made things harder for me
- violated my personal space or sense of bodily autonomy and made me uncomfortable
- actually physically harmed me or made me afraid they were going to, because grabbing my body or my wheelchair in the wrong way could seriously injure me.
What y'all don’t get when you get upset about this is that, while all people need help sometimes and it’s good to be someone who’s willing to help others, DISABLED PEOPLE’S BODIES ARE NOT PUBLIC PROPERTY. We have as much ownership of our bodies as anyone else and as much right to say “No, it’s okay, I’ve got this,” when offered help. We have the right to say “No, I don’t want you to push me up that ramp, but I’d really appreciate if you’d just move your cart that’s blocking it so I don’t lose my momentum.” Or whatever. Just, you know, ask. This whole idea that disabled people are so mean and rude comes from the fact that abled people feel entitled to our gratitude and don’t think they need our consent.
How about not even asking unless the person looks like they’re struggling? When you start with the base assumption that OBVIOUSLY the person must need help because they’re DISABLED, that right there is Ableism. If I’m out and about by myself, I probably got there by myself and I’m getting home by myself and chances are I’m managing just fine. If I need help I’ll ask for it. Check your damn Ableist assumptions.
Let me put it this way: Imagine you’re minding your business, out shopping, and every person you pass goes “Do you need help? Are you okay? How can I help?” Would you be annoyed? Yes you fucking would.
I’m disabled, not incompetent. How about you start with the assumption that I’m doing just fine and you leave me alone and let me get on with my day.
Yes, absolutely. I don’t mind being asked if I need help when I’m actually struggling with something, but it’s a near-daily occurrence for people to insist on helping me do the thing I was literally already doing for myself.
This!
One of my favorite things about the cripple punk movement is the normalization of refusing help.
As disabled people, especially those of us who grew up categorized as disabled, we are socialized to believe that people who want to help us are by default good people and we need to accept their offers of help or else we are rude, ungrateful, and, worst of all, reflecting poorly on all disabled people. So if The Ableds ™ decide disabled people are big meanies because we wouldn’t let them try to help us and use that to justify denying us accommodations and resources, it’s our fault.
I think a lot of us come to the point of rationalizing for them and saying, oh, well, they were *trying.* They *meant well.* Even when their attempt at help is at best useless and at worst actually harmful.
It’s refreshing to find a community willing to say no, I don’t need or want the kind of help you’re offering, I don’t need you to feel sorry for me or put me on a pedestal, I need you to work alongside me to make the world more accessible or shut the Hell up and get out of my way.
