“Sometimes disabled people overcome specific moments of ableism—
we exceed low expectations, problem-solve lack of access, avoid nursing
homes or long-term psych facilities, narrowly escape police brutality
and prison. However, I’m not sure that overcoming disability itself is an

conditions through individual hard work is convenient. Overcoming is
cure’s backup plan.”

“Social anxiety results from being around people who are resolutely opposed to who you are.”
― Stefan Molyneux
