ableism
You shouldn’t have to be personally affected by something to care about it.
We need to realize that disability and queerness make depression look different.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
"Ableism is discrimination or bigotry against people considered disabled by mainstream society."
Don’t you dare tell me ableism isn’t real.
"I really want it to become something that non-disabled people can not ignore."
Disability metaphors abound in our culture, and they exist almost entirely as pejoratives. You see something wrong? Compare it to a disabled body or mind. These words seem so "natural" to people that they go uncorrected a great deal of the time.
