Comment on Is there a difference between "comfortable space" and a "safespace"?

  do you know any disabled people? plenty of them get wheelchairs and such and live great lives. it’s their choice to be defined by the disability or not.

  This comes across as trolling. Positivity for disabilities is one thing but disabled people, about 100% of the time, would rather not be disabled. And I mentioned them because it counters your idea that anyone can be in control of their body or mind, and that not being in control of those things is a choice. Nobody is in full control of their mind.

    it’s only trolling to you because you’re 100% wrong. look at the deaf community, plenty of other disable communities would rather not be disabled, and often do have the choice but choose to remain disabled. because it doesn’t mean their life is ‘less than’, like you imply. hell plenty of disable people live fully richer lives than ‘abled’ people, because well, they choose too. plenty of overweight abled people who can’t walk a half mile vs people who don’t even have legs who can do marathon.

    yeah, the overweight fat people who can’t walk a mile also think they ‘aren’t fully in control’ of themselves too.

      Obviously they’re not, for that exact reason
