From RF Kuang's Babel. I think a lot about this when presenting to hearing audiences through interpreters. I do not think kuang would make a distinction between interpreting and translating in this case.
‘Betrayal. Translation means doing violence upon the original, means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So then where does that leave us? How can we conclude, except by acknowledging that an act of translation is then necessarily always an act of betrayal?’

From Smilges, J. Crip Negativity, page 25. It really describes how I feel right now having been largely bed ridden for the past months. I feel sad, but cripply so.
Some days my bad crip feelings are felt so cripply that I live in a heap of tears and blankets. Sometimes I feel despair—total, fucking despair. While a part of me is tempted to read these days and times as aberrations, temporary departures from the longer oeuvre of my affectivity that is, perhaps, less intensely pessimistic, I want to honor the depth of my bad crip feelings as no more or less aberrant than the bouts of optimism I feel at other times.

From Dr sami schalk 's Black Disability Politics. Oralism is curative violence.
Eunjung Kim calls curative vio­lence. Kim uses this term to describe “the physical and material vio­lence against ­people with disabilities that are justified in the name of cure.”29 Cure ­here refers broadly to any attempt to lessen or eliminate illness or disability. Thus, curative vio­lence recognizes that society’s ableist obsession with curing disabled and chronically ill ­people can often be damaging, resulting in further disability, debilitation, or even death.

I honestly expected better from someone who’s fighting for a marginalized group of people.
