Anyway, no, there's no such thing as a temporary disability, you're either disabled or you arent
Someone who is "temporarily disabled" - a broken limb, pregnancy (just, no, it's not), the flu - doesn't go through the same experiences as a disabled person
And wont unless they actually become disabled
Being disabled doesn't come with an end date. There's no 'in a year you'll be able to pee normally* again' or 'you won't need a wheelchair once you're healed', because you won't be
You have to put up with unaccessible architecture, absent or half assed accommodations, social stigma, intrusive questions, doctors who don't take you seriously and won't help you, financial struggle, being locked out of employment, pushed out of college, restricted on public transport when we can get it, being unable to get into your own house, having to be dependent on other people to do basic daily tasks,
and a slew of other limitations that will never go away
You don't have hope that your life will go back to normal, you just have to adjust to what is your new normal, even if the people around you won't
And that comes with all kinds of physical, mental and emotional struggles that pregnant women simply do not and will not face unless they become disabled
You don't know what it's like just because you were in a wheelchair or used crutches once, or were pregnant before.
There is no such thing as a temporary disability, and saying so just demonstrates ignorance and a really alienated idea about what being disabled actually is.
Also glaringly obvious that you don't actually talk to disabled people.
*We aren't considered 'normal' either
For context
