It pisses me off more than anything. I should also add, I don’t mind whether or not people or any of you for that matter ask about my disability, but be respectful about it. Once when I was sixteen I was in a gamestop and stood myself up from my wheelchair to grab a game off of a shelf that was a bit out of my reach. After I paid for it and left, some lady who was watching me follows me out and says “Hey! What’s wrong with you?” I turned around a little shocked and said, “What?” She says, “You’re in a wheelchair but you can stand. What’s wrong with you?” I said, “Bitch, none of your damn business!” She had this shocked look on her face as I coasted away.

Ableism and voting.

Dear Precinct Polling Workers,

If I ask for help filling out a form, please do NOT ask me why. If you don’t ask the lovely 80-year-old next to me, it is NOT APPROPRIATE to ask me either.

However, thank you for taking my non-answer and shutting up, and thank you for not arguing about helping me.

Thank you,

An invisibly disabled voter

Want to know a secret? One thing people say that gets under my skin is:

Well, it’s not a secret, but any time people assume that lacking the motivation to do something you want to do just means you don’t actually want it enough. Just want it more, that’ll fix you. God, you’re just lazy.
