What society thinks disabled people want to hear:
“You’re so brave!”
“We look past your disability!”
What disabled people actually want to hear:
“We acknowledge your disability and will happily accommodate your needs.”
“You can marry without losing your benefits.”
“We’d like to offer you the job.”

This really needs emphasizing. The entirety of the UK media ecosystem is utterly fixated on a 100% fabricated "crisis".
Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.
Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

People need to understand how deeply eugenicist this is.
They’re insinuating that if you “take care of yourself” you will be healthy and should get affordable healthcare.
Disabled people can’t “healthy living” their way out of being disabled.
It’s not a moral failing.
We need healthcare too

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."
