thatchronicfeeling:[Caption: Screenshot of two twitter posts by ‘jazdia (bat emoji) deep sea cryptid @swampflora from 17 November 2020.The first post reads: “Don’t identify with your illness/disability” is deeply ableist nonsense. It keeps us from things that vastly improve our lives, like mobility aids & disabled community. It’s based on the idea that being disabled is a bad thing & that limits don’t exist unless we believe they do.The second post reads: So many people, including doctors, think encouraging us to ignore our limits, needs, and the ways disability/chronic illness shapes our lives, will magically make us nondisabled. It doesn’t. It makes us miserable, isolated and often worse off.] -- source link
