The irony here is painful.
Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.
But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.
Exactly how disabled people often are.

Today I am going to the #ODSP office for an input session to comment and critique the current system, point out its flaws and suggest changes that would make our lives better. I do not expect anything to come from it, but I am going to go give my opinions and let it be on record.
I have linked my years of #disability, homelessness and lived experience advocacy:

Even worse, rather than take responsibility for the screw up the Houston Police Chief is blaming the child.
Saying he gave them incorrect information and casting doubt on whether he’s “actually autistic” because he was able to communicate.

Telling people to “tough it out” when they’re sick is ableism.
Saying that autism is “unacceptable” is eugenics.
Bragging about the strong people who don’t take meds or vaccines? It infers that those who need medications are weak.
It’s all eugenics. This regime sees disabled people as less than.

Really looking forward to even tighter restrictions on pain relief for people with uteruses (the most in pain demographic) because hypothetical fetuses might hypothetically get autism. Meanwhile autistic people have chronic pain. And gestate autistic babies.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I've gotten good at making myself *seem* calm, distant & emotionally flat as a survival strategy for interacting w/ the healthcare system as a disabled person of a marginalized gender. But it's become a habit spilling over into other parts of my life & I have a hard time externally showing emotion.

Nondisabled people mistakenly think that statement is referring to the imagined "horror" of inhabiting a disabled body--not the terror of the systems that *permit* us to live (while profitable) or condemn us to die (once "burdensome") 🙃

This is why it’s important to understand how lived experience and socialisation may have affected us. Negative reactions to our Autistic selves may have led us to suppress traits that would support autism diagnosis. They may only emerge when we’re stressed or when we’re alone and relaxed.
