If your condition stops you from doing something, then it is a disability.
If your condition makes it difficult for you to complete a task, then it is a disability.
Dont let others tell you you “arent disabled enough” and invalidate your experience.

consent through fear is not consent
let’s repeat that again:
consent through fear is not consent
And while we’re at it:
consent through guilt is not consent either

So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.

the world would not be better off without you.
people would not be happy if you were gone.
you are not a burden or a mistake or a failure.
there is a place for you in the world, there are good things just waiting to happen to you and good people out there for you to meet. whatever you are currently going through know that there are better days and better things in life ahead of this—later today, later this week, later this year—and you absolutely deserve to be here to be able to experience all of them.

Shout out to the disabled people making progress that no one recognizes because it’s not what society considers to be “impressive” or “commendable”
Shoutout to all the disabled people who are managing to get out of bed for the first time in months.
Shoutout to the disabled people who made their own meals today.
Shoutout to the disabled people who are going back to school/ work.
Shoutout to the disabled people who went grocery shopping.
Shoutout to the disabled people who drove themselves around.
Shoutout to the disabled people who managed public transport.
Shoutout to the disabled people who accomplished any or all of the things they wanted to today.
And a big shoutout to the disabled people who didn’t do any of these things bc they finally gathered the strength to say no and listen to their limits.
Your accomplishments are worthy. Your life is worthy. YOU are worthy. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise because you aren’t “productive” according to society’s standards.
