there’s something hauntingly poetic about the ebb and flows of human compassion coming together to form language that allows the marginalized to express their need for emancipation, only for the inevitable surge of encultured ableism to quell that spark and steal that language for its own purpose. over and over and over. what will break the cycle? will people with disabilities ever get to have a concrete hold on the words they use to describe themselves, or is this a permanent fixture in the world we are forcing onto the disabled?
The deaf seem to own it. They made up their own language and ableism can't do shit.
But that is the only exception I can think of. (And they are really independent).
excellent point! i hope for a future where the same patterns can work for the good of all disabled identities
Mostly because we don't give a shit what the hearing say about us
We were commenting on your nice shoulders but that's fine 😭
