If I hear ableism being justified with good intentions again I am going to flip my shit. I don’t care if it is good intentions. Usually it is good intentions. My fight is not towards mainly bad intentions.
Ableism is so intwined with our daily lives it’s sickening. It has its claws on our vocabulary, way of thinking, and every second of our being from birth. That is what I am fighting.
If I correct someone, or bring up something, I don’t care if it’s good intentions. I just want it to be noticed, and I want it to stop, because intention does not dictate my emotions.
I will be upset. If you are incorrect or say something ableist, whether you knew it was ableist or not, it will hurt me. That will not change just because you didn’t know better.
I am not mad at you if you didn’t know, I am mad at the ableism that caused the misconception in the first place, and I am mad at the construct that allows ableism to exist without consequences.
So don’t get angry because your good intentions are being ignored. Listen, learn, and change. It isn’t about you. It’s about the ableism in your actions and words. The ableism that was taught to you, and me, and everyone growing up in this fucked up world.
