Please stop making disabled people invisible
It seems to be all the rage today to think and state, as a whole, ALL WHITES and ALL WHITE MALES can never suffer as much as a person of color, woman or anyone from the LGBT community.
That is not true.
Able-bodied African Americans, women or LGBT's today do not, as a whole, suffer more or are as invisible, in comparison, to the disabled of any stripe or color. Especially, when you keep lumping some disabled people in with privileged white males and effectively make their suffering, disability and demographic invisible.
There is nothing privileged about being disabled. And your color or gender does not help you.
Please stop making disabled people invisible
Damn those blacks,it should be about MEEEEEEE!

1. Is there an impetus for this post?
Because it doesn't help anyone's cause to pit one oppressed group against another.
I agree with you about how the disabled should not be invisible. It was heartening for NBC to air footage from the Special Olympics over the weekend and to have a thoughtful segment about using the damaging r-word. That's a change for the better.
With that being said, having an oppression spectrum may be an interesting intellectual exercise, but it doesn't do anything for meaningful change.
You mongrels exist for it.

2. Disabled people ought to become more militant in demand equal rights
People with invisible disabilities, i.e., disabilities that don't require assistive devices, suffer even more at the hands of larger society because the public assumes there's nothing wrong with them because they don't use a cane, a wheelchair, a scooter, or crutches. We're constantly told we're faking our conditions and making all this up not only to get attention, but also to get out of working and live off the government because we're lazy and perpetrating a fraud on the government. These conspiracy theories come especially from the far right, but they're infecting the general public with this pack of lies!
Tell that to someone suffering from major depression, where it's a monumental feat just to do everyday chores. Tell that to a person with chronic back pain or arthritis, whose every step is taken in agony. Tell that to a diabetic who has to monitor his or her blood sugar, eat a certain way and at set times, or exercise regularly or face horrible complications. Tell that to someone with severe ADHD, who can't concentrate on stuff that bores them and zones out without even realizing it.
To all the naysayers trying to keep disabled people invisible and cut off from society: Just keep telling us we're making all this shit up to scam the system. Who died and make you the leading authority on disability?
Lazy dirt bag.

......
Tell that to someone suffering from major depression,
I wonder if the DUmmie brigade will attempt to convince people suffering from depression that a good way to demand equal rights is to step out in front of cars doing 80 mph in an attempt to shut down traffic???

What a whiner.

The primitive's right!!! the midway at the carnival just isn't the same without it's differently abled people in there.
-
Everyone at the DUmp is a victim. This just shows how everyone is trying to "out victim" everyone else.
-
"Can't we all just be victims of equal status?"
-
And these are the people we're going to be shooting when the revolution they all talk about, comes.
Believe me when I say this DUmmies. I will take no joy in shooting someone with crippling; irritable bowel syndrome, or fibromyalgia, or ADHD, or body dis morphia.
No, I will not be proud of it or take joy in it. It is just something that will have to be done due to your aggression. Not micro aggressions, but full on aggression.
I'm sorry for all your disabilities. They sound truly horrific ...
LOL!

Holy @#$%! One of the blind squirrels collided with a nut ... but walked on by.
The stalk is victimology; a main branch is competing for the highest rank in the hierarchy of misery; the root system is laziness, envy, and narcissism.

You lazy DUches, my wife who inspires me like no one else does, has two conditions that would have you idiots running to be bedridden and sucking off the dole. She worked hard to get her masters and is working, WORKING 7-10 hour days even though I have seen some mornings where she can hardly get out of bed.
She has every excuse in the book to ride the disability gravy-train you idiots would love to get on... But won't. You know why DUches? Because she HAS been poor, and never wants to be that way again. And anyone who is on SSDI for some of the things you idiots claim, is POOR. Not necessarily poor in wealth, but poor in spirit.
To not have the sense of pride that comes with accomplishing a hard days work.. I will never understand you Oxygen-thieves. Hard work, sacrifice, these things used to be signs of an industrious workers and were the norm for America. It's all this 'me me me me' victim crap that is RUINING OUR COUNTRY.
