accessibleaesthetics: dovewithscales:december-rains:mornington-the-crescent: Disabled lives are not inherently filled with suffering and when they are it’s usually because someone put it there. Say it again for the people in the back! Disabled lives are not inherently filled with suffering and when they are it’s usually because someone put it there.The worst thing about being disabled is living in a world designed for and by abled people and filled with abled people who actively discriminate against us and make our lives harder, whether intentionally or accidentally.My particular disability causes me exceptional constant pain and effects quality of life. I’d take a cure in a heartbeat if I could. The worst part is still dealing with abled people. [Image Description: Original post show a You Guys Are Just Mean meme with a PowerPoint reading “a person doesn’t have to be able bodied to have a right to life, you guys are just eugenicists.” The reblog shows several images from Star Trek: Next Generation depicting a conversation between Geordi La Forge and Hannah Bates. Geordi is not wearing his usual visor in this conversation, thus more prominently displaying his visibly blind eyes.Geordi: I guess if I’d been conceived on your world, I wouldn’t even be here now, would I?Hannah: No.Geordi: No, I’d have been terminated as a fertilized cell. Hannah: It was the wish of our founders that one no have to suffer a life with disabilities. Geordi: Who gave them the right to decide whether or not I should be here? Whether or not I have something to contribute?End Image Description.] -- source link
