Normal hanyalah sudut pandang perspektif kita; yang setiap orang mempunyai definisi normalnya sendiri. . Coba pikirkan bagaimana jika kita yang dilahirkan di dunia yang semua orang lahir tanpa bisa mendengar dan menggunakan Bahasa Isyarat, maka kitalah yang tidak normal, maka kitalah ‘orang cacatnya’. Pernah berfikir seperti itu? . #socialmodelofdisability #disability #deaf #akartuli #akartuliceria #volunteer #bahasaisyarat #bisindo #signlanguage

I don’t really need a wheelchair... but I would just love to be disabled

EXCLUSIVE: CHLOE reveals how rare condition makes her want to wear leg braces and £16k op to stop walking

I’m not sure what to think of this. But, we often don’t think of disability as a “performative identity” as we would gender. Similarly, we don’t typically discuss forms of self-expression in the disability community as we would in queer theory (ie: femme, hard femme, masculine of center etc). Lots of the arguments in the comment section rest on the fact that disability culture, community, identity and experience should not be something one would want to enter into (though I will say I am really uncomfortable with how she describes her experience as a wheelchair user). The backlash with her BIID identity is similar to backlash transwoman experience. In that, she is transitioning to a community that lacks institutional power and receives immense discrimination. Does this take away from the legitimacy of her identity? Are there not cultural and legitimate ways to understand and experience the body as a spectrum of ability and thus identity? Especially considering disability IS a subjective experience based upon one's environment in many situations.  Just some thoughts, I’ve been trying to understand and conceptualize BIID for a while now..not to sure what I think.
