Friendly reminder to invisibly disabled folks:

You are just as disabled as someone who is visibly disabled. You deserve to use accessible facilities and have your pain treated without discrimination. You deserve to have people believe you when you tell them you are suffering. Able-passing is a myth when you are still sick.

You are valid and you are enough.

Bringing this back now that there's no way I can hide that I'm disabled. Y'all still get the same amount of ableism, they're just using different excuses to deny you the access you deserve. Instead of "but are you really disabled?" it's "Well if you're that sick you shouldn't be out of the house/alive."

I've gone the whole spectrum from "mostly abled" to "Now all of China knows you're crip" and it's all the same stuff. They hate us all so we might as well stop doing the "well if I was physically ill, I'd get care" or "if they could just see how sick I feel" or "but you can hide it" games. You're drowning if you're in 6 feet of water or 60 feet, the depth or whether it's fresh or saltwater isn't all that important in the long run.
