My Thoughts

Let's make some enemies today,  shall we? If you or a loved one have a disability (even if you find that term inapplicable or objectionable) then you should advocate for and seek a cure by any means necessary. It doesn't mean the person doesn't have value as-is.  It doesn't mean they can't kick ass as-is.  But this trend of benignly accepting it as somehow intrinsic to their self not only denies them a complete (not necessarily full) life,  it negates their worth,  implying their value is tied to the disability and they would be less-than without it.  In effect,  it embraces the very same skewed values of "ableism" they purport to reject.
