@Lazarou EXACTLY! Muthafucking LIARS!
I pay attention. Even when I don't always call out every self committed ableist here on the #Fediverse. I am closely watching, making notes of who refuses to be less ableist. I'm not the only disabled advocate here - paying attention.
I'm very aware of many unrepentant #ableists here.
People who refuse to consult with & listen to valid, lived experienced voices from #PeopleWithDisabilities are folks committed to their #ableism. Straight up.
Don't make excuses for #ableists who don't care about #DisabledPeople & don't want to make any changes to contribute to a more diverse & #accessible world/community.
#Ableists are insensitive jerks, lacking humane compassion & who forget that they're not immune to becoming #disabled too. No one has that lifelong immunity.
Treat #PeopleWithDisabilities better or expect us to keep raising a lot of ruckus.
We're fighting for our human rights, for equity & for inclusion. We won't shut up until you all do better.
We, #PeopleWithDisabilities - will be keeping closer watches on people who choose to attend & speak at #FediCon in #VancouverBC this weekend. We are watching to see/hear who actually speaks up for us.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
I have had men literally tell me - to my face - that they want to experience what it's like with a disabled Asian woman. WTAF. I'm not Disneyland. Neither are ANY other disabled people.
