Often the disability is a part of the person, though. Like, a huge influence on their life experience. So it can be seen as devaluing the person.

(Also, disabled people are pretty routinely devalued as human beings in many ways.)

If you cure a disabled person in your fic then you are telling any disabled readers that they are only interesting if they lose the disability. Until that becomes an option in the real world, you are hurting them by saying they are not interesting or worthwhile because they will always be disabled and not the beneficiary of a magical cure.

Related to Secret #1. When I write a "miracle cure", it's purely wish fulfillment on my part. I'm sorry if you choose to interpret my writing in a way I did not intend, but you also make me very glad I put author's disclaimers on my work.

/is sick and tired of having to deal with managing her own disabilities.

Look downthread for an example of this. Someone just told me (I'm deaf) "You don't know what you're missing." Bwaaaahahhhaaaaa.

What you are seeing is people taking issue with your claim that babies would be better off being born deaf than healed before birth. If you feel being deaf has enriched your own life then fine, that is you, but you want to insist that others are born deaf too on the grounds that maybe they would like it and disregard the problems it causes for them and their families.

DA

Deaf/HoH here

It's actually really creepy when Deaf parents purposely want the hearing of their children damaged to create Deaf children to perpetuate Deaf culture.
