The SJWs that complain about how problematic that is are rarely disabled. Or if they are, they don't suffer from disabilities like chronic pain. A lot of disabled person (including myself) wishes they could wave a magic wand and never have to deal with their disabilities.

Disabilities aren't like being trans or queer. They're limiting and often painful in ways the abled-bodied feminists who are talking over us and for us do not understand or even try and understand.

"the abled-bodied feminists who are talking over us and for us do not understand or even try and understand."

This 100%. There's a reason the rallying cry of disability activists in the 90s was "Nothing About Without Us!" But the SJWs just want to perpetuate the learned helplessness of PWD, so they can continue to get their rocks off, by speaking over us/claiming to know what's best for us. Hint: They really really don't.

[dethtoll]

Yes, absolutely. I especially hate the TAB thing too.

[(Anonymous)]

What's TAB?

[dethtoll]

"Temporarily able-bodied."

[kallanda_lee]

What? What is that even?

[sarillia]

It's supposed to remind people that you never know what's in your future because this is a group that you can join later in life unlike most of these categories. I don't really get the point of it as someone who identifies as disabled. Something about trying to incite empathy in people who aren't disabled maybe? I stopped paying attention to arguments around it years ago because I just don't care. To me it kind of looks like treating all straight people as if they might come out of the closet some day. Which is weird.

Nah, it's mostly an insult. That I may or may not have hurled at more than one social worker back in the day. Not one I use anymore, personally. It's flung around a lot by able-bodied SJWs on Tumblr. Which I find hilarious.

[sarillia]

It's used that way the same way a lot of things used to refer to privileged people are used as insults by people who do more harm than good but that's not what it was designed for as far as I've read.

[(Anonymous)]

It's the ... I'm trying to think of the right term here... Let's go with condescending statement that well being is a temporary state and that being incapacitated is really the default. It might of started out as a way to raise awareness that ramps and suchlike are a universal benefit, but in the hands of strident SJW it became ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

so so much this

[(Anonymous)]

Let's be honest. EVERYONE seems to like speaking over and speak for the disabled. Because they assume they know what it's like, how they expect us to feel, how they would feel, they know a person with X, etc.

More often than not, the disabled people end up getting the short end and get berated for having opinions either way. Sometimes even by OTHER disabled people.

People haven't seemed to figure out yet that experiences are different. Or they like to ignore it because "MINE is the most important."

[(Anonymous)]

yep

[sarillia]

This has not been my experience at all. What is my experience is that in every area of SJ discourse people will assume that those they don't like aren't in the relevant group. So anyone who makes an argument a disabled person doesn't like must not be disabled themselves. It's annoying. Just more erasure and denying the individuality of people.

Not that there aren't non-disabled people who talk over us. That's annoying too and needs to stop.

This. I have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypermobility syndrome (which the medical research community is arguing about whether or not that's EDS-H; since there aren't any doctors who will take EDS-H patients in my state, I'm waiting to see if I'll get grandfathered in vs. going to an out of state specialist). The hypermobility causes multiple partial dislocations a day; I'm usually having to readjust my hands well over 20+ times a day, my hips 3-5 times, my wrists and elbows also above 20+, etc. I would happily take a cure for any of that in a second. My anxiety, too.

But the bipolar and ADD and autism? No, because they make up too much of who I am at this point. I also have the milder variant of bipolar (type 2), and I'm evened out to a contented or more dedicated to doing stuff mood on meds. I also can't say I wouldn't miss the occasional hypomanic highs, because those tend to be when I do some of my best writing. The ADD makes some things difficult, but it's also how my brain works, same with the autism. Some things have been more difficult to learn, and with combination of anxiety, it can make things difficult, but I don't seem to have too much issue. I have to think more actively about social things, but that's not always bad, either. Most of my foot-in-mouth moments are due to fibro fog more than the autism is. -_-
