the thing that really gets me about like abled people acting disabled for roles is that so often disabled people are forced to act abled to survive

so many disabled people spend years learning to hide, to act abled, to perform, to desperately try and make it through each day

and then abled people will act like us for what? for money, for acclaim

whilst we are forced to act as them to live, they act as us for fun and also so they can continue to control our narratives, it makes my skin crawl
