Oh boy. So now I need to feel guilty for being born able bodied.

You didn't choose to be born the way you did, she didn't either. It's just the way things happened. Don't feel guilty for it.

So sick of 'social justice' being taken way too far.

[(Anonymous)]

No one is telling you to be guilty. Oi.

[(Anonymous)]

It's the implication that bothers me. 'Able bodied privilege' ... I didn't know that even existed.

[(Anonymous)]

ffs, you don't need to feel guilty about it. You just need to be aware of it, especially when it comes to things like using the disabled toilets or seats on a bus, or knowing about how certain things effect certain people.

[(Anonymous)]

While I agree that in some places on LJ SJ has been warped beyond all recognition, acknowledgement of able-bodied privilege is not a bad thing, at all.

[(Anonymous)]

They're so rabid, they can't even see it when they're the ones who are doing the bullying and acting out. It's detrimental to the various causes they espouse.

[relmneiko.livejournal.com]

Someone being disabled doesn't negate enviable aspects of their life, like talent. I bet lots of people would give up physical ability to be artistically talented. It just shows you people value different things.

[lesbido.livejournal.com]

BUT THEY'RE DISABLED! I'm not supposed to envy them!

/end

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

Don't feel bad about it. There is nothing shameful about being wanting to have the happiness that someone else has, and wanting to be them because they have that happiness, even if it means that you'd have to have their problems and their pains as well.

[(Anonymous)]

If she's a person like everyone else, you shouldn't feel so guilty over feeling jealous. Because she does have many good things in her life, it sounds like. On the whole, she might be content despite her disability. More content than you. Jealousy is not a good thing in and of itself, but being jealous of someone despite disadvantages they might have means you can look past those.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

I don't the least bit terrible for how I was born. I can't be responsible for all the wrongs in the world and neither should you.

[(Anonymous)]

No one should. But people with, for example, able-bodied privilege, can do things to right some wrongs in the world. For example, by not using the disabled seats on public transport, or disabled toilets if others are free. Another is by not questioning people's disabilities; my disability is extremely painful, but invisible, and I receive lots and lots of unsolicited advice, or people refusing to help me with things.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

I understand that completely, and I would never do any of those things. I'm convinced some people do that out of sheer laziness.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes they should, and that's called courtesy. Parents should be teaching their kids that *nods.*

I can see why it would be more difficult if your disability doesn't show. *hugs*

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

How do you mean, refusing to help you with things? Do you mean you ask and people refuse? Or they don't divine that you have a disability and offer?

[no-one-specific.livejournal.com]

I can't be responsible for all the wrongs in the world and neither should you.

This, so much. Do what you can to help, when you can... basically, be a decent human being. But don't take it as a responsibility to make everything perfect, and to disregard your feelings because you were born 'luckier' than someone else.

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

I mean, if I was the reason for their disability, then I would feel bad about it, but the people who are deaf that I work with? I don't feel bad for them at all. They're very nice people and I try to make it easier for them when I work with them, but I hardly ever see them as angry as everyone else I work with. This whole PC culture will be our downfall. I agree that we should be kind to everyone, but when is it too much?

[thezmage.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel. He's not disabled or anything, but I do know someone in real life who is so much like me but just an objectively better person. He's nicer, more generous, gives more people the benefit of the doubt, and just in general is happier than I feel like I could ever be. He's still one of my best friends, but I resent him a little, tiny bit for it.

Don't feel guilty, just don't let it influence how you treat her. Realize that it's your failing but she probly wouldn't blame you for it.

[frenchonionchef.livejournal.com]

This secret gave me a stomach ache. Talk about PC gone stupid.

LOL <3 your comment.
