If you want to call YOUR disability bad because thats how YOU identify it, then that’s A-OK. But, to generalize OTHERS disabilities as bad is fucked. No one has the right to generalize everyone with visible scars/birthmarks/etc. as bad. No one has the right to say that cancer and other chronic illnesses are bad. Bad is relative. What one culture...
