#disabled people are allowed to do things thry enjoy sometimes. it isn't a crime.

Really fucking sick of "if you can do X, you can do Y" arguements. Have you considered that if I could do Y, I would? But maybe Y involves different skills, different actions, maybe Y is more energy intensive. Maybe doing Y would have longer term consequences. Maybe X also had to be done and I ran out of energy before I got to Y. Maybe I just don't want to do Y right now! Maybe X is just easier or more enjoyable for me!

Ultimately, I've chosen to do X over Y, for one reason it another, and that should be enough.
