For NEAM, one of the funniest /also rudest stuff smn ever told me was a few days ago, we were having a conflict n mid-covo they just decided to go w the silliest wildcard line ever like
"I SEE IT NOW y deserve to be disabled"
It came from smn who has a severly disabled sibling -of another illness.
N well while I can't tell why -maybe they were used to this siblings-level insult, or just had the stereotypical idea of how the disabled are all angelic goofy wholesome n stuff -undeserving of their condition, or maybe just had the opposite arrogant of how disability is a cosmic punishment to super bad ppl w sins, It really doesn't matter imo
Can't recall the whole situation, but I'm pretty sure I did a very unrelated-act-to-my-medical-condion that pissed them off so they felt okayish to use such line as a shutting reply. they did had their little moment feelin powerful. I laughed it off tho bc it sounded downright stupid, they prbbly got embarrassed afterwards. However, that was only for how childish that came out :) If they had a "more creative way" to say it they would've, proudly
n I've seen it multiples.
This is your daily reminder that: I can be disabled AND an asshole; being disabled doesn't automatically enroll y in sainthood. Whether I've have been genuinely bad or just bad from yr perspective/ pov, I'm not disabled BEC' I've done deeds or vice versa -just as obvious as it sounds. I've had epilepsy for 9 years today means I've been epileptic since childhood what did a child do to be deserving of disability? Simply that just can't be a question. y lack logic, y able-bodied-all-complete picture of-perfect-health. Can I call y that? Does it sound normal? Let's just make it clear
1. ill n chronically ill ppl get to be sarcastic, despicable, sharptongued, hilarious, massively annoying, even unlikeable just like anyone else
2.Disability isn't a personality type, It's only a state of being, my big brain guy
You’re a person. You get to have the full human range, messy sides included. If smn can’t hold that in their head without resorting to cartoonish stereotypes (angelic sufferer / cursed villain) n generally box disability, that’s on them.
Happy November Awareness Month
Have a disabling day🌷·
