“We’ve been conditioned by society that pain is weakness. That being sick is something you can overcome by simply trying harder.”

You can’t “try harder” your way out of disability. It’s not a weakness or a moral failing.

It is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Ableism forces us to hide our suffering. To smile through the pain and deliver a convincing “I’m fine”

My latest looks at what would happen if we stopped hiding, as well as ways you can support the disabled person in your life.
