Society needs to grow up & accept these things Breastfeeding for example is a natural way to nourish a baby & there is nothing sexual about it. Men being emotional is natural. Same sex parents are just like heterosexual parents.
I have been called non disabled once. I found it offensive. I've been proving others wrong since birth. I'm proud to be disabled Because I wouldn't have met some of my friends if I wasn't.

I wonder if any other disabled person who's on ODSP also didn't get theirs. I have my piece of mail & ID ready. I'm using my right to vote!

It's hard to convince my mom to stop reading Harry Potter even after knowing the truth of JK. My mom told me that she wouldn't associate with JKs other works or any other Harry Potter things.

I would like to share an experience. More like an inappropriate assumption. When my mom was registered me for kindergarten & the principal looked at the list of medical conditions & to my mom's face called me the R word & thought I would be better at a "special school"

Forcing a child to hear just because ableds don't like it is no excuse. Forcing a baby to go through a surgery just to hear is wrong. They need to think if what the child would want instead of what the parents wants are.
@Imani_Barbarin
My mom hated me using the term disabled as a teen because "she" didn't see me as disabled despite knowing about my brain injury. Just because I could walk & do many things like ableds she still was afraid of the term. I use it now though without issue.

I know. This was in the early 1990s, so Disabled people in mainstream school was a big deal. My mom even had to have a meeting with the school board.

Perfection does not exist. I'm disabled due to medical malpractice. Saying disabled people don't exist is ableist. Also using religion is inappropriate too because not everyone is religious.

@AQueerCellist
Thank you for pointing out this information about the Nazis. People need to be educated about this. After learning about that disabled people were targeted by the Nazis when I was a teen I looked up more info about it & it shocked me. Made me think "Oh shit! I would've died too.
@bibicosplays
What bothers me is that ableds always assume certain things are only for seniors, but in reality disabled people can benefit from it too.
@HaasF1Team
I respect Nikita for this. As a person with cerebral palsy as well, it warms my heart. It also shows me that he's not afraid to interact with disabled people.
Do not ask disabled people to empathize with the current inaccessibility of your lives when you have been loath to understand how it impacts us on a daily basis.

Keep spreading the truth of the holocaust & correct people who get the facts wrong. You're work helps educate others on a very important event in history that never should be forgotten about.
@AuschwitzMuseum
Thank you for sharing. It's very important to remember those who were killed due to mental illness & those with mental & physical disabilities as well. they shouldn't be forgotten either.
@Imani_Barbarin
Ableds need to understand that:
A. Racism is a taught behaviour
B. Has absolutely nothing with mental illness
C. Disabilities won't go away
@Imani_Barbarin
When the deaths happened in LTC during lockdown No mention of disabled people dying until a LTC facility that had primarily disabled people was in the news & the deaths of disabled people came to light. Mentality still is Not seen Not heard regarding disabled people.

@huntersonprime
Thank you for being the voice for the survivors & the millions of victims that were murdered & calling out the inconsistencies in things related to the holocaust. Facts are important & fabricating facts is dangerous like you said.

I was told I was depressed when I told my neurosurgeon that I don't leave the house because of my pain. Not leaving the house because of extreme pain isn't depression. It's having extreme pain & you don't want to do anything because of the pain.

He deserved all of them! He's a fucking rapist plain & simple! the Algerian female boxer got more flack than he did & he's a convicted rapist which means he's a criminal.
@Imani_Barbarin
I hate when ableds assume that just because you're ambulatory that you can get a job & work. They don't understand the underlying situation why employment isn't possible.
@Imani_Barbarin
I think Ableds perception of "disability" is that someone can't walk which is far from the true of reality. We as disabled people need to educate Ableds on what disability can be or is.
@breakfasttv
The CONservative government because CUPE wanted to negotiate with them multiple times civilly & the government didn't want anything to do with them. The government needs to take responsibility for their actions.
@Imani_Barbarin
Another inquiry would be why abled people think disability goes away when someone turns 18 when they're born with a disability or it during childhood.
@Imani_Barbarin
I hate when ableds call behaviour that other ableds do towards disabled as "just being a jerk" because they don't understand how harmful this perception is.
@Imani_Barbarin
indeed society doesn't understand that anyone can be disabled even if they can't see it. Also of course the classic thought is that disabilities ruin utopia. Society doesn't want us as we're not wanted in their society.
@p0ppyfield
@WritingZebra
My parents dismiss that ableism even exists & that "disabled people aren't in long term care facilities" They also dismiss the fact that some of the things they want to do is wrong like having people over even if it's just 2 people & going to visit others when we're not allowed.
@AuschwitzMuseum
Good on the teacher for doing that. Education is key for us to understand & correct behaviour that we deem inappropriate. Those students better learn from this & teach others no to do the same mistakes.
@karriehiggins
@WheelieQueer
Once again disabled people alert others of a serious issue like mental health & isolation & don't get heard, but abled people sound the alarm about mental health during this isolation & get heard. WTF! Disabled people must be heard & listened too about our concerns.
@breakfasttv
This is inappropriate to me. Supporting Cancer research, or the military & even Pride is a right & important. When someone dictates how to support causes close to people's hearts is inappropriate.

@bandaidknees
"Mercy" killings must stop! These practices are making me think of what the NAZIS did. They believed people with disabilities weren't fit for life. People with disabilities are fit for life in society. Able bodied people need to stop thinking their a burden.

The premier of my Province literally said that disabled people on the provincial benefit need to work or die. Yet we're restricted for getting employment.

Disabled people being treated like children make them dislike them as well. Many disabled people may have a developmental delay like myself, but that doesn't make them a child they're still an adult.
@JoannaNoBanana
Worried that they won't listen to you & understand your coping mechanisms when you have severe anxiety & you're terrified of being gaslighted because a pervious doctor gaslighting.
@wonder_cripple
That being disabled doesn't always mean the inability to walk. I'm permanently disabled, but happen to be able to walk. There are ambulatory physically disabled people. These people aren't abled. Don't treat them like they can do EVERYTHING you can do because they can't.

I saw disgusting comments from people saying that Greta doesn't deserve the Nobel Prize. I think those people don't understand that the planet is dying & there is no planet B also that Greta is correct to say that previous generations are at fault for killing it.

@devobrown
& this was in Trudeau's past. Digging in someone else's past for gain is wrong too. Trudeau did apologize for this didn't he? I think if he apologized we should move on to the real issues of the election like environment.
When you're able to do your own nails & have someone else do them for you is a luxury. When you can't do your own nails & have someone do them for you, it's a necessity.
#AdviceForTheAbleds
@coffeespoonie
Indeed they use harmful language & have no idea about how disabled people live. Can I give an example: My mom says she knows how it is to live with my disability because "she taught me to do things one handed" it's not the same thing than doing it on a daily basis.
@AuschwitzMuseum
She endured things we shouldn't even imagine. She lived her live to let others know the horrors & people need to understand what happened to her & millions of others.
@HolocaustMuseum
Thank you for sharing this & educating others who don't know about this. I heard about this when I was a teen & looking it up myself. I was shocked because I'm a disabled person & I would have been killed.
@merkyywaters
@bibicosplays
I continually tell my parents that my medical situation is serious, yet I'm not a priority to them. I remind them their actions have consequences. They tell me I'm self. I don't want to die. When I had my last medical episode in december I was completely brushed off.
@coffeespoonie
Parents really don't know what it's like to be a disabled person. Only live with a disabled person. They truly don't completely understand what their child(ren) are going through.
@coffeespoonie
This woman is delusional. Maybe the signs of autism just started to appear after the vaccines & the kid didn't get tested earlier. She just wants something to blame. We all know the truth is that vaccines don't cause autism.

3 years ago my neurosurgeon believed I was depressed because my pain was so excruciating that I didn't leave my house & he dismissed all my concerns because my scan was "fine". Thankfully he's retiring this year, so I can fine a new one that will hopefully take me seriously.
@breakfasttv
It was ridiculous! The people who participated had no morals & were selfish! They need to continually be held accountable for their actions. The idea that harrassing people & disrespecting & defacing national monuments uncalled for. Their ideology was totally inappropriate.
@coffeespoonie
They should be charged with something because Accessible parking isn't for the business to play with they're for disabled people & that's that.
@bibicosplays
This reminds me of a former friend 5 years ago. I couldn't post anything about what was going on with me on my account. I suggested if they didn't like it to unfollow me. they told me they cared about me too much. If they cared they wouldn't tell me to shut up about my health.
“I’m so tired” means something entirely different when you’re disabled.
Our fatigue isn’t the same thing as your fatigue.
Same goes for pain.
Don’t measure our discomfort against yours, thinking you can discredit the validity of our experiences. It doesn’t work like that.

A neighbour of mine assumed that because I have use of one hand that I would be exempt from masking at the peak of the pandemic. I showed her. Those who can & should mask should still respect those who have medical concerns & can't.

Ableds want to institutionalize disabled people again. Not seen, not heard Not their problem & don't need to help them. They feel like these people are a problem which they're not.

My disability was a result of medical malpractice (prenatal brain bleed from labour being stopped twice) & my mom's doctor told her I would be severely disabled she would want to institutionalize me. My disability is relatively mild.

I'm an unvaccinated disabled person with severe medical anxiety. Disabled people who can't get vaccinated due to their disability or mental health shouldn't be subject to this. The unvaccinated abled people (Antivaxxers) should be subjected to this tax.
@Imani_Barbarin
What if you're an ambulatory disabled person & an abled is like "Why don't you help around here?" when you've done your laundry & they say this while you're helping empty the dishwasher (That actually happened to me a few weeks ago.
@HolocaustMuseum
Thank you for sharing this because people need to know that Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. When I learned that disabled people were targeted I deeply affected me.
@AuschwitzMuseum
This infuriates me that these types of things are still happening. What the Nazis did was inhumane. The punishment doesn't fit the crime. One week suspension in my opinion isn't enough.
@Imani_Barbarin
I remember my mom saying a hygiene related ableist comment about "People NEED to wash their hair everyday!" I do my basic washing hair & body daily. I don't shave often, but I've been told to shave my armpits, but it's difficulty to do with the use of one hand.
