i understand ur hesitation. i call myself disabled now & i have encountered ppl policing that identity, but only ppl w/o any disabilities. even that is nerve-wracking ofc. engaging w disability activism helped me bc other disabled ppl have been sympathetic & supportive, even if our experiences are v different. which they can be! able-bodied standards are v narrow
yeah i’m not worried about able-bodied people policing me because they’d be shitty if they did it i’m just worried that some people might be like, hesitant about me calling myself that which would be justified but i just. i have no idea
