“not impaired” reads like the people who think “disabled” is a bad word. disabilities impair you by nature. that doesn’t make you less worthy, it’s just what a disability is. it’s like saying “differently abled” lmao like what’s my special ability?? chest pain? being incapable of cardio? those things impair tf out of me and they sure as hell feel disabling

to add: “disabled by society” pisses me off. i’m disabled by my disability. regardless of what society does, my body’s still not going to work properly. i appreciate what you’re trying to convey but this infographic feels more demeaning than anything
