the lesbian bar story and reactions confirm my theory that a lot of people, especially white people, latch on to “ableism” because it’s poorly defined and is an easy way to get marginalized voices points

The thing about disabilities is that they suck and make life harder. That’s simply how it is. It’s good to give some reasonable accommodation but your life simply isn’t gonna be the same as someone without your disability.

This is different from racism or sexism. A world where black people and women are treated the same is achievable. A world where all disabled people have the same life experience as abled people is impossible, without sci-fi technology to cure their disability.
