I appreciate everyone who supports people with disabilities &amp; folks who understand how much many of us had to overcome just to still be alive &amp; able to post here today.</p><p>Many folks in our society look down upon people with disabilities &amp; that's their personal deficit. Those folks don't want to accept the fact that everyone will suffer disabilities at some point in their lives. If they weren't so close-minded, they'd likely not support any type of eugenics on disabled people either. The fears of having disabilities causes many non-disabled folks to grip to ignorance rather than lean into learning more.</p><p>We, folks with disabilities, are some of the most highly adaptable people in society. We've had to adapt at every stage in our lives to survive. We know what it's like to be prejudged by people &amp; we know a lot about discrimination. We've not allowed society to eliminate us or censor our words. We have to keep speaking up for ourselves &amp; others with disabilities because no one else will.</p><p>I raise my cane up high for all fellow people with disabilities &amp; giving a high five to our loyal comrades too 💖🙌❤️✊️</p>
