I think the reason a lot of leftists struggle with disability justice is that they haven't moved past the concept that discrimination isn't bad because it's objectively "wrong." yes, sexists are objectively wrong when they try to claim women are dumber than men. yes, antisemites are objectively wrong that jewish people are inherently greedy and run the state. yes, racists are wrong when they try to claim that white people are the superior race. and so on.

but then with disabled people, there are a lot of objective truths to the discrimination we face. people with IDs/LDs do fall behind and struggle with certain concepts. physically disabled people are often weaker and less capable of performing demanding tasks than able bodied people. many of us with mental illnesses are more reckless and less responsible. a lot of us are dependent on others and do not contribute much "worth".

and guess what? disabled people still deserve a place in the world. disabled people still deserve the supports they need. because they are people, and that should be enough to support them and believe they deserve a place at the table.

if your only rebuttal against discrimination is its objective inaccuracies, you are meeting bigots where they are at. you are validating the very concept that if and when people are truly incapable of being equal to the majority, that means they are worth less. this causes some leftists to then try to deny the objective realities of disabled people and/or become ableist themselves.

your rallying behind marginalized groups should start and end with the fact that people are completely worthy of life and equity, because they are fellow human beings and that should, frankly, be enough.

"Somebody needs to do something about Sephora 10-year-olds...these i-pad babies are so rude and don't do what they're told....oh my God, these kids can't read and have no social skills...Ugh, look at these little consumers and their Stanley Cups."

I am, in fact, actively worried for these children and I refuse to hate them for the ways that society, as a whole, has failed them.

i think a LOT of you with chronic conditions should learn this one magical phrase to get your hospital doctor to shit his entire pants, which is leaving the room and saying "im going to go discuss your behavior with the ethics committee, i think you might need a reminder of what your job is"

Ok I think she's disgusting too, why must every trans woman take responsibility for the minority? Should all cis women take responsibility for cis women who rape teenage boys? No, it's so small but does happen but most have the common sense to realise it's not the majority.

Man takes a woman’s spot in a women’s shelter and then claims that the women there told him that he is more of a woman than any actual woman there even though “more of a woman” isn’t a thing women say to each other but “more of a man” is certainly a thing men say to each other

None of you can be serious

Like this SMACKs of a bored TERF with too much time, writing a fake story pretending they're a trans woman and using every possible point that they KNOW would rile up anyone with half a brain and feminist leanings. Go home, touch some grass, your bullshit is more transparent that the atmosphere I'm walking through and it's a blue sky out

It's incredibly easy for someone to make a throwaway and pose as anyone in a text based format.

And it's well document for TERFS to do this so they have rage bait to share in their echo chambers.

I do.not understand how anyone could fall for this.

It literally sounds like a trans woman written in a TERFs wet dream. Like a caricature you will never meet in real life
