Quite often, in the news, there’s a story about something changing in a way that “doesn’t work for disabled people”. These often have scary-sounding headlines about barriers and discrimination. But many times, the only person they’re quoting isn’t disabled. They’re a non-disabled person making an assumption, that may be incorrect, about what disabled people can’t do, in the name of allyship.
If you want to be an ally, I dont want to hear about what you think is bad for disabled people. I want you to make space for disabled people to raise these concerns for themselves.
