“Many of us who are disabled are not particularly likeable or popular in general or amid the abled. Ableism means that we–with our panic attacks, our trauma, our triggers, our nagging need for fat seating or wheelchair access, our crankiness at inaccessibility, again, our staying home–are seen as pains in the ass, not particularly cool or sexy or interesting.
