July is disabled pride month. Disabled members, is there a question you're tired of being asked?

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I am so fucking sick of the "cheerful, noble and kind" disabled trope. I am not an aesop. I am a person.
Actually sometimes i'm a raging cunt. THIS SHIT HURTS.
Yep! I want to swing for people who call me brave. I'm not 6!!!
I had a friend call me brave. I pointed out i run on rampant denial and spoon abuse so don't fucken use me as an example
Agreed. It's not questions that are the main problem. It's stories and articles about how disabled people have overcome their disability that are the real problem. Yeah, good for them, but that's not realistic for most people and it gives able-bodied people a false sense of what we can accomplish.
