to tell a disabled person that they are making up their stories of discrimination just for attention is callous. it is incredibly hard to have a voice in a world filled with ableism and ignorance. it takes strength to share our experiences. we speak up to educate, to bring awareness. to connect with people who share similiar stories and in turn, to heal. don’t ever let anyone silence your voice because of their inability to even attempt to understand a perspective outside of their own.
