#disability quote

Most of this world does not know how to value a person it cannot use for output. Which means disabled people are forced to carry one of the heaviest forms of knowledge imaginable. They see, up close, how quickly society turns human beings into burdens the moment productivity is no longer guaranteed.

It is not now or ever okay with disabled lesbians to be regarded as inferior. The truth is that we, the impossible disabled lesbians, are valuable; in fact, we are necessary for the strength, growth, and survival of all lesbian communities.

Stop comparing disabilities. Stop trying to one up disabilities. Stop speaking on disabilities you yourself are not even educated on, just because you are disabled does not give you the right or the knowledge to speak on behalf of somebody else’s disability that they LIVE with. We talk and talk about abled people’s ableism and their lack of knowledge and understanding and ignorance, but it is well within the own disability community as well and I don’t know why that’s not addressed with the same seriousness we give external ableism. You are not magically granted immunity from being called out just because you too, are disabled.

You realize how deeply this culture worships usefulness because the moment you cannot consistently produce, everybody starts searching for a reason you still deserve gentleness.

Your diagnosis is not your WHOLE STORY. It’s a chapter, it’s part of you, but it by no means has to be your entire story. You are more than just a diagnosis. You will always be more than just a diagnosis. 🩷

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.
