Wow, this is unnecessarily harsh. I rarely feel dehumanized and rejected. I’m uncomfortable with this generalization.

Unnecessarily harsh?

Are you fucking kidding me?

The dehumanization of disabled people has been going on since…always. Disabled people that are visibly disabled encounter negative stereotypes and social attitudes that dehumanize, patronize, and objectify them because of their bodies. Disabled people of color face this on top of the social attitudes they face for being people of color; trans disabled people face this on top of the social attitudes they face for being trans; the list goes on. But you think it’s ok to dismiss the experiences of all these people just because you lack personal experience with this kind of treatment?

You should be uncomfortable with this, because most disabled people are uncomfortable with being treated this way.

R U KIDDING ME

Did you know what I woke up to on Facebook this morning?????

THIS PICTURE tagged “weird world”, and captioned “if this kid can smile so can you”

Because it’s soooo tragic right? Dehumanizing a SMALL CHILD so the abled can feel better about their shitty day. THANKS but NOT HARSH ENOUGH.
