Democrats: You have to vote for us if you don't want to lose your rights!

Also Democrats: Yes we let you lose your rights but how will you get them back without us!
I'm so sick of this shit
If I wasn't disabled I probably wouldn't vote.

PSA for writers:

Let me first give a couple examples of the horrible "Magic Legs" trope!

Professor Xavier in the #Xmen series could walk for most of season 2 because *on Genosha his powers were suppressed... Therefore he could walk*

My goodness that's so damn ridiculous
Maybe don't write a plot where you send a wheelchair user to a tropical island with no wheelchair access! How hard is that?!

So let's discuss how this ridiculous trope is why people think disabled people will be magically healed!
How this trope has contributed to people actually pulling disabled people out of their chairs and taking away their mobility aids because abled people think we just need the right motivation or situation to be normal!

This weekend my mom and I had a long talk about accepting our bellies.

My mom was barely 100 pounds until her mid thirties but she never had a flat tummy.

I was bigger than my mom by 6th grade and I've had a pooch ever since.
Id never told my mom before that I'd realized my obsession with hiding my tummy and being insecure about it came from her.

She lives with my nieces now and how will they believe us when we tell them their bodies are beautiful if they know we don't even think that about ourselves
I told her "mom why try to hide your tummy? You still know it's there & so does everyone else!"

I told her I used to live my life tryin to hide my tummy like a pregnant actress in a sitcom... Strategically holding sweaters, carrying a large purse, trying to hide it behind plants

PSA for writers:

Before you write that scene where a villain stands up out of their wheelchair and reveals They Could Walk The Whole Time... I'm going to quickly explain to you why that trope has serious and dangerous real world consequences
Disabled people are publicly confronted by strangers that don't believe they are really disabled, because we can walk, all the time.

Violently and aggressively confronted. Threatened even.
This reaction is doubtlessly tied to the media erasure of ambulatory wheelchair users and these wreckless and abelist plots
