Disability rights and social justice must be intersectional and must be global.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder and a life threatening disability. That doesn’t make it okay to starve them. Rickets is a condition CAUSED BY VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY. In other words, A SYMPTOM OF STARVATION.

So…they’re saying it’s okay to continue starving kids because they’re already starved?

To be clear, the ADA was still a huge legal advancement for its time (1990). But it has flaws in serious need of repair. Many major hospitals, at least in urbanized areas, know their obligations, but many private practice doctors still assume they’re waived when, no, they’re not.

Gosh, doesn't anyone know that everyone who uses any kind of social media platform is, obviously, a teenager? Including me, who was born in 1970!

I'll be right back, I'm just taking a moment to figure out where those other 40 years went!

Because apparently hearing people can't figure out on their own that, hey, writing works as a mode of communication! Yes, for live video interaction, too, and not just when you're writing an email! They need it explained to them! 🤦
