Good point. I was referencing physical #disability, but wasn't explicit. Haines is often talked over by her co-hosts when she raises the topic of mental illness, though, which exemplifies why we need more PWDs on TV talk shows. Standing up to non-disabled people can be very hard.

FYI: PWDs = People With Disabilities.
I also should have used more appropriate terms: visible and invisible disabilities. All disabilities are body, but not all can be seen. I was dxd with MS at 30 and that #disability was largely invisible. But since non-disabled people prefer to hide visibly #disabled--show us!
It is absolutely true for me as a paraplegic that if a business features people in wheelchairs in their ad campaigns, I will gravitate toward that business. #Disabled people are the largest minority and we are totally intersectional. Yet we're wildly under-represented everywhere.
