Stop Doubting Us
“He’s not blind—he’s looking at his phone.” “She’s not deaf—she’s talking.” “You’re not paralyzed—you just stood up.” These are the comments we see every day, casual dismissals of our reality. You scroll past our stories and call them lies, as if disability fits in a neat little box. As if you know our bodies better than we do. As if visibility cancels out reality.
