Am think from amount "society not what disability for this experience" posts am see from other multiply disabled people,
Am think the disabled leftist theorists on tumblr n twitter, have failed
On make their explanation n words accessible
N have also making some multiply-disabled people not feel welcome in these space
Because while am personally know what meant with "biosocial theory" alienation of disability,
These space n words are often said by people that not foster community, after all.
Example:
- always "Big" words. Always. No alternative version.
- dense text, n reference works n research that can difficult access
- refusal make simple english, or simple language when ask
- mean. mocking people with disabilities affect understand, when interpret words different from what "meant"
- not acknowledge other theories enough n way can overlap for different circumstance
- focus on listen only ""good"" disabled people, especially who able say thing "smart" way. Ignore diverse experience
- not help people need material help. Nor address their immediate concerns. N if do, only some.
