i feel like disabled people are expected to tolerate and put up with things that able-bodied people aren’t. (in my experience and from what i’ve witnessed).
disabled people shouldn’t be expected to put up with ableism, rude comments, invasive questions, and just bad faith remarks in general.
we’re people with boundaries and emotions, but firstly, we’re people. we shouldn’t be held to a different standard of what we should think is okay. we don’t exist to educate or inform. we’re allowed to not answer a question, even if you meant it well.
disabled people aren’t mean for setting boundaries or having their caretakers/caregivers set boundaries for them if they are not able to set them themselves.
we’re allowed to have privacy.
